January New Moon in Capricorn

New Moon in Capricorn January 18^th this year is a big one. It can help you achieve huge goals without giving up halfway through.. hello neuro divergent people like myself. This is our moon, guys! It can also help those that want to be recognized in their current professions, move up to higher statuses, or marry a successful person in a high status. Think big and dream big—then go get it! On the flip side of this, the moon will also help eliminate all that is excessive in your life and everything that is not exactly necessary around you, so ask wisely. Boundary setting is another way of using the New Moon in Capricorn to your advantage. After all, Capricorns are known for having some of the best boundaries around.

We start with a reset and recalibration of this New Moon. When setting new boundaries, we will be releasing last year’s emotional residue and rewriting realistic goals with realistic structure, and this time choosing intention over impulse. Right? Keeping in mind the question, What foundation am I building?

January’s new moon isn’t dreamy, it’s grounded, more long-termed focused and results-oriented. We will use practical manifestation centered around career direction, finances, health routines, education and skill-building, and business and brand foundations. The Capricorn moon is a more brick-by-brick moon, not a fly-by-night one.

With new boundaries, grounding and long-term goals in mind, now we work on self-authority, responsibility, self-respect and personal sovereignty. We can’t ask for all the things above and not be able to govern ourselves accordingly. Right? So, with all those things, January moon also helps manifest these things as well. It’s about claiming authority over your life, not seeking permission to be in it.

So this is where the hard part starts when manifesting with the moon. I know, I know, it’s not pretty and no one likes to do this, but shadow work is necessary to move forward in your journey. In a Capricorn new moon we do a few things; expose where we overcommitted, find burnout patterns, and reveal those pesky false motivations. We write them down and we get rid of them.. they weren’t doing us any good anyway, right? Ask yourself these questions to help: What am I doing out of obligation instead of alignment? Where am I leaking energy? Answer them honestly or this won’t work, silly goose.

Remember, this New Moon reframes discipline for the better version of you, it’s not punishment or restriction.
