This new moon helps you to put some structure and strategy around anything that came up for you in December when Jupiter joined Saturn in Aquarius in the sky. What bold and beautiful goals do you have for yourself for 2021? Tap into your inner ambition and see what messages it has for you. Part of this process involves reviewing the commitments you have made for 2021 thus far. It’s possible that you need to make some adjustments. The good news is that Capricorn energy gives us easy access to our inner elder, the wise one who can help us make decisions that have your long term well-being in mind. You know what short-term discomfort you are willing to put up with to get to your goals, and you probably could even predict when it will happen and when you might feel like giving up. It’s all part of the process, and you can trust the wisdom you have built up throughout your life experience to guide you to the next best step. Call on this new moon to give you a boost of self-discipline in any area of your life that you need it.
Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn and therefore the ruler of this new moon, is in Aquarius conjunct (right next to) Jupiter and Mercury, all of which is square to Uranus and Mars in Taurus. There’s a lot going on in this configuration, and it’s buzzy, mental, restless energy. It can feel like we have our feet on the gas and the brakes at the same time. You are eager for radical improvements, and at the same time, you are resistant to change ingrained habits and attitudes. The good news is that you won’t be willing to change just for change’s sake. You do want to preserve what’s worked from the past without being too conservative or resistant to the evolution afoot. It’s natural to feel some tension as you come to terms with your need for change and your need for security. Just make sure that you aren’t working against your own best interest by being overly inflexible or stubborn. The archetype of this energy is an altruistic pragmatist: the mad scientist who uses her genius to further humanitarian causes. The benefit of this configuration is that you are able to get in better touch with your own personal genius and make a plan for how you want to utilize it for the benefit of yourself and your people.
Be willing to ask for help from key companions and allies. Uranus and Mars make a nice trine to Venus, allowing for some flow and relief of any built-up tension when we join forces with others. If you don’t feel clear on where to go from here, anchor yourself in your values to help reset your compass. It’s very likely that you will be asked to take your next steps as a trust walk. Meaning that you have to take a step into the unknown, having faith that the ground will appear to support the next step and so on.
Intentions: I am able to access wisdom from various areas of my life to alchemically combine my experiences into a new avenue for my personal genius. I allow any tension between the past, present, and future to propel me to ask more interesting questions that reveal penetrating insights.
