Astrology is the study of cycles and balance. It is about using the sky to understand themes reflected in our collective and personal consciousness. The planets and stars are not pulling on us, like puppets on strings, but instead mirroring the current cycles of energy, learning, and emotion with us.
As above, so below.
As within, so without.
As the universe, so our soul.
Thus, when we get many indications of a similar cycle, if we get many heavenly fingers pointing us to look in a certain direction, it is time to pay attention. That time is now.
We are neck deep in the midst of Mercury Retrograde in the sign of Capricorn. Synchronistically, this New Moon is also in the sign of Capricorn. Adding to the emphasis, is the fact Mercury reaches the retrograde midpoint (an important thing!) on the same day.
What does it all mean?
It means we are up close and personal with Capricorn energy. We have been since December 1st. Want to know more? Check out my Mercury Retrograde Post. Essentially, life is asking us to get real. The reality checker and taskmaster of the zodiac, Capricorn isn’t subtle or indirect. Take a look at your life to ascertain the personal reality checks you are cashing.
I have seen huge patterns shifting for people. Truth is bubbling up. People are taking stands, speaking up, setting boundaries, changing their life paths, making important choices and getting clear. On a personal level, it is time to asses, your health, finances, relationships, work, or spirituality. On a more global level, it is time to get real about our world, the health of the earth, and how we treat others.
Christmas, in its original meaning, was meant to be a time of deep reflection and contemplation. It was a time of assessment and setting intention for the next year. A New Moon is symbolic to new beginnings.
This New moon asks you to…
Bottom line your life.
Where might you be taking the easy way out by passing reality?
What “work” do you need to commit to?
Where in your life do you need to take more or less responsibility?
What systems, habits or functions in your life require revision?
Then put those truths into action as we move forward into the new year.
