New Moon in Capricorn: Movement through Solid Ground

Moon conjunct Sun – 1/2/22 @12:33pm CST

 

Welcome to the lunar beginnings of 2022, where our luminaries align to initiate our Capricorn intent.  You may want to check your Soul Compass (natal chart) to see what house Capricorn colors for you.  Intention setting begins there in this lunar month. 

Whether you are in the long nights of Winter or the long days of Summer in your hemisphere, Capricorn (as Saturn’s nocturnal domicile) is inherently a cold and dry kind of energy.  This is what is known as a ‘melancholic’ temperament…which necessitates movement, circulation, and cleansing hydration to keep from getting stagnant or brittle.  Capricorn is a cardinal sign, so the initiatory energy of it is there…but those initiations move through solid earth.  So Capricorn beginnings also necessitate practicality and a little more time investment than the other Cardinal signs.  As you are making your plans for the month ahead, consider what really matters, what needs to be worked on to ensure strong foundations, or what has grown stagnant that needs new life.

'Capricorn' from Cyril Rolando's Dancing Zodiac

Aiding the forward movement is a flowing earth trine from our luminaries to Uranus in Taurus.  Uranus is infusing this New Moon with innovative improvisation for how we use the tangibility of earth energy.  The energy is progressive, inventive, and even surprising.  You may even surprise yourself on what you can accomplish this month if you put the Saturnian effort in.  Saturn in Aquarius, guiding this New Moon, is not averse to forward-thinking progress.  So even though the Saturn-Uranus square is still actively involved in the struggle between the old and the new…we’re no longer able to fully cling to the ‘old ways’ of doing things.  It is apparent we must move forward and integrate new ideas.

Sabian symbol- ‘a fire worshipper’

 

This degree of Capricorn is one of getting to the energetic roots of transformation to really appreciate how to manifest our will.  In fire, the death of one thing fuels the life of another.  The fire worshipper of this symbol celebrates the interaction and co-creation between Spirit and Matter that provides illumination, warmth, and fuel for our bodies.  In the cold earth of Capricorn season, such warmth and light stirs this New Moon seed to grow.  Like the fire worshipper, if we focus our attention and appreciation on the fuel that inspires us within…we activate our faith in our ability to transform.
