New Moon in Capricorn on January 2, 2022

SUMMARY

We will want to retreat into a quiet place where we can work on our objectives in private. The drive to beat personal best records might lead to the neglect of emotions. We cannot ignore our intuition entirely because there is an opportunity for our inner sense of knowing to lead us towards a revolution in our day to day routines. This knowledge will not come easily; we must actively feel our feelings and trust the messages we receive. On a collective level, we will all be struggling to redefine what we want our work routines to look like. Part of what will engender this desire to totally rethink our 9-to-5 routines is the overbearing sense that there are not enough structures in place that serve humanity as a whole. There is a polarizing struggle to guarantee security for the individual and freedom for the collective.

For some, the new ideas that can come from this new moon revolve around how existing technology can help us empower ourselves and overcome insecurities. Other new ideas will revolve around travel and gaining experience through socially conscientious adventures. For example, traveling to an unfamiliar city, but doing your research beforehand to educate yourself on cultural customs. As we seek to be more socially courteous, we will also find innovative ways to advocate for ourselves. I feel that this new moon can really help us find balance in taking up space for our own ambitions without side-swiping others. (But again, a lot of self-reflection and feeling the feelings has to take place!) Not only will these new insights lead to altruistic endeavors, they can also help us create art that combines traditional sensibilities with faith-based sentiments.

Overall, this is truly a refreshing new moon that will be much appreciated as a welcome anthem to the new year. The energy of this new moon will be especially useful for anyone who wants recognition or a promotion at their current job, or a new job entirely that respects your talents. Just make sure as you gather information to make your moves that you vet your sources carefully and, again, take the time to honor your emotions.
