Living Deliciously | New Moon in Capricorn
New Moons are new beginnings, as told to us by Nature’s reflection. We watch overhead as the Sun and Moon join together. The light of the Sun infuses the Moon and once again, the lunar cycle begins. Born again with the Sun’s radiance and light, the #Moon finds she is ready to renew, to seek, to obtain that which she is hungry for, having tasted the Sun’s light. She seeks something delicious and that hunger is seeded by the aspect made at each month’s New Moon moment.
Today’s New Moon is in #Capricorn, the #Zodiac sign of self-made success, #determination, #hardwork, rules, restriction, stoicism and taking care of business. Capricorn is ruled by #Saturn otherwise known as Ol’ Scratch himself. While Saturn is not down for merry-making, Saturn IS our best bet for making it in this physical world. Saturn drives us to pull up our pants and get to work. Saturn says work hard and we will be rewarded. The Devil is often characterized as leading lost souls towards temptations in the physical, but while we are composed of Mind, Body, Spirit… we would be wise to remember we are “body” – we are matter and do live in the physical. Saturn is our champion of making the most of having both feet planted firmly on the Earth and reaping the rewards of its pleasures. Saturn just recently moved into Capricorn, strengthening the Cardinal Earth sign of the Sea-goat.
Coupling with today’s New Moon, the planet of our desires, relationships, the me wants, #women, #female energy and money is #Venus and also the planet of the underworld, that which is hidden, #power #control and totally down to the bones transformation #pluto .
We must remember, the Moon though is not in good shape here. While she is seeded with new life and light from the Sun, she is in Capricorn – the sign of her detriment. She’d much rather be in her homeland in #Cancer the polarity (opposite) sign of Capricorn where she can much easier revel in her emotional sanctuary. However here in Capricorn she must toughen up and take charge and put on the proverbial stiff upper lip.
All of this is occurring around 28 degrees of Capricorn, the degree where #Mars our planet of #male energy, drive, warrior, leader, adventurer vibe is exalted. Mars totally digs being at this spot in the 360 degrees of the Zodiac. Here he is worshipped as the chiseled warrior that gets chit done. As the #universe would have it… nothing occurs in isolation and certainly that is the same in #astrology for #2018 as the degree of today’s New Moon comes back around again as Mars does his retrograde dance later this year, (May) beginning exactly at this same spot.
What does it all mean? Think on the symbolism of each of the players in today’s New Moon. This will all be playing out in each of our journeys, just a matter of how and where. Knowing your own chart, you can see where Capricorn is across 12 main areas of your life. If you have any planets or angles in Capricorn (or Cancer) you will be quite strongly impacted.
This is THE VIBE to catch for 2018 if you want to;
• manifest success
• kick unproductive habits
• start your own business
• work on transforming the health of your physical body
• establish boundaries
• become an authority
• do it by yourself
• lead others to success
• initiate into mastery of a subject or endeavor
• cut ties from emotional manipulation and control
• solidify establishments, structures, relationships
My to do list is the most extensive it has ever been… and it all starts today. May we all remember and abide by the polarity reflected back to us by #Nature – there is no light without darkness, there is no pleasure without pain. #Conflict is the source of creation – struggle is the breath of life
Time to dance 😉
#starrywonder #newmoonOne step back from a beat down maniac
I’m tired of taking a back seat from all the other demons
that are stealing all the good shit
leaving me with nothing but my hands
Another stroke down my back tasting all the flames that are
licking around my neck and making me insane
as they pull me down, pull me down into my grave
I can’t get away
Ooooh, it doesn’t mean nothing
until your deep inside dancing to the Devil’s swing
Whoa, it doesn’t mean a God damn thing
dancing to the Devil’s swing.
