What are you letting go of? How has your support structure changed since December? You may have a change in front of you that feels all the scarier because who you normally would call on for help isn’t available right now. Have faith in your ability to forge new alliances that are meant for this moment. Get honest with yourself, is the pressure to change and grow actually what’s scaring you?
New moons are the start of something, the seed point. Just because you don’t know exactly how it’s going to look down the road doesn’t matter. You just need to start and release any obsessive thinking that is actively getting in the way of your forward progress.
There is still a significant emphasis of planets in Capricorn (Pluto, Mercury, Venus, and Mars), which means we are feeling pressure to show some results for our hard work. What are you able to execute, and where might you be floundering a bit? Be honest with yourself, and have the humility to ask for help. And if you see someone else struggling, reach out and offer assistance. Capricorn, in its healed manifestation, is the wise elder who is generous with their time and experience. When it is energetically malfunctioning, it’s bossy and controlling, seeing power as a zero-sum game and building its empire without much regard for the planet or its people. When we have Capricorn and Aquarius energy together, as we do in this new moon, it’s an opportunity to use the humanitarian ethos of Aquarius to guide our Capricorn efforts to ensure that we are doing the most benefit for the greatest number of people.
Chiron, the wounded healer, squares Venus and Mars, bringing up some vulnerable feelings about your relationships and partnerships, which might feel less stable than usual. This instability is in service to bring about a more equal, honest equilibrium. However, it can feel uncomfortable in the moment and have you deeply questioning yourself and others. If you feel a bit world-weary, take heart. Dig deep into your courage and persistence to see a current situation to the finish point. Be honest with any resistance that comes up; it might represent some tender emotions that need your empathy right now.
The good news is that there is plenty of goodness ready to flow in if you are willing to let go of old patterns. This is a breakdown to a breakthrough new moon, which requires a little faith in yourself to do the right thing. Just take the next best step for you, and you will set in motion some universal support so that what might seem like a hard challenge now actually isn’t as bad as you imagined it to be at first.
Intentions: I ask for help and support when I need it. I offer any scared parts of myself compassion and gentleness. I know my path is my path, and I let go of comparing it to anyone else’s path.
