New Moon in Capricorn
The Christmas/Solstice New Moon is in practical Capricorn, which is quite handy when we are all busy organising our festivities. Capricorn also invites us to finish up and complete what is outstanding, so that we’re not taking it into the New Year.
For all you Cappies out there, what happened during the course of this year for you? Interestingly, you started the year with the New Moon in your sign 2nd January and now you are ending the year with another New Moon in your sign. This is your new year, new start Moon. Make time to write your wishes for your year ahead and start getting organised. It’s your turn to get your house in order so that there’s space for the new and better to come to you over the coming year. And stop being so stubborn, a bit of flexibility is essential over the next few weeks.
At this time of year, the Solstice energies invite all of us to take time out to be quiet and go within. It’s a time of reflection, of looking back over the year that is soon ending and giving ourselves credit for all that we have done and been through. It’s a time to focus on what worked, learn from what didn’t, and start to create dream space for the manifestations we want in the year ahead.
This practical New Moon invites us all to think about and lay down the groundwork for our year ahead. It’s time to refresh your habits, systems and how you live your daily life. It’s time to uplevel our lives and ourselves, we’ve been through a lot these past few years now it’s time to start raising our standards and living the kind of life we truly deserve to live. Take time to reflect on what that would mean for you personally.
Avoid being too impulsive in thoughts, words and deeds - especially spending money at this time and avoid over-eating.
This New Moon is the best time to do your vision boards, and/or write your requests for the year ahead, no need to wait until 1st January, as the energy will not be so potent then. A bit stuck on this? Make some quiet time and have a chat with your future self, how does s/he look? What is his/her ideal day like? Where is s/he living? What kind of work is s/he doing? You get the idea; tune into your future self for guidance on the way forward.
Heads Up – Mercury (planet of communication) has started its retrograde phase, which will last until mid January. If you are travelling during the holidays, do double and triple check travel arrangements, especially with all the strikes that are going on. Also if driving, check the tyre pressure and that you’ve got enough oil and water in the car, and ensure that you have some warm coats in case the temperature drops.
Mercury retrograde affects all forms of communication; electronics and computers go on the fritz and act up. Now the holidays can be enough of a triggering time with families, Mercury may make it worse, as people are tired and not listening properly. Try not to react when your buttons are pressed, stop – take a breath – remember it’s Merc retrograde, and think before speaking.
On the plus side, from 20th December to 16th May, lovely Jupiter (planet of expansion and good luck) is moving into Aries. Aries is the motivator of the zodiac; bringing us much needed energy to really go for it regarding our dreams, goals and plans for 2023. Be open to new opportunities that present during this action-oriented five month period, particularly those involving collaborations, groups etc. Jupiter in Aries requires courage but the excitement of what’s happening will override that. The time will come when you make that momentous decision and take that big leap!
Exciting as that all sounds, for the next few weeks find time to relax and recharge. Remember that we are now in the Winter moons, which is a time of resting, healing and replenishing. We can’t go charging ahead if we’re not fit enough for it. Spring is better energy for birthing and launching our goals and plans.
I know that many of us are feeling absolutely knackered at the end of this year; therefore it’s time to listen to our bodies, it's time to chill out!
Write down the exciting ideas that our minds are coming up with but most of all, relax and have some fun.
You deserve to be prosperous, happy and successful in 2023. That’s why I’ve created ‘Your Personal Power Roadmap for 2023’. I’ll be sharing tips and tools that you can use to manifest whatever you desire in 2023. More info here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/491659455667
Thank you all so much for reading my scribbles over the past year.
I wish you and yours a healthy, peaceful and happy holiday time.
May the returning Light bless you and cast positive light over all that you are dreaming into being.

P.S. If you get bored over the holidays, here’s a short interview I did recently in which you’ll get to know more about me and how I got into all this. It’s on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szsI_z_3Q98&list=PLz-jWX0xjjVIOCrJk4XzjpcLe1-v4gBoN&index=6
