This New Moon in Capricorn is also a “Super Moon” and it just so happens to show up just 2 days after the winter solstice which is on December 21st.
The Super Moon is much closer to the earth which strengthens the power of this New Moon.
Set your intentions in the “present tense” in order to achieve expanded consciousness and accept that “changes will be smooth & easy” “I am welcoming in an expanded consciousness of love” and then “FEEL” the love that you are welcoming in. During this Super Moon in Capricorn light is more concentrated creating more momentum. Especially since all planets will be direct by January 22nd .
Capricorn is about manifesting and building for the long term. Strategic planning is called for. We will feel shifts in perspectives about what we’ve encountered in the last 3 years as we see Saturn & Uranus break up, this can create very powerful new beginnings.
The BIG news is that the square between Uranus and Saturn, that has been going on since 2021, is finally beginning to break up; Saturn here represented the old ways, the government top-down control, rules and regulations. While Uranus stands for the new way, rebellion against the rules and regulations, breaking out and doing its own thing with the future in mind (planet of revolution – doing it my way!). This would be a great time to set strong boundaries for 2023!
People are finally saying “enough already” and standing their ground. This square will be breaking apart by the end of they year. Those struggles are moving on. We will experience different energies coming in to 2023.
As we begin to close in on the end of 2022, we will want to take note of the personal planet retrograde story that accompanies this calendar transition.
Mars is currently retrograde in Gemini and will station in a direct motion on January 12th. These past two months has felt a bit like the flavor of Mercury Retrograde, with missed connections and inward reflections highlighted. I don’t know about y’all but I’ve definitely felt this in my world.
Then as we welcome in 2023 the actual Planet of Mercury will go retrograde on December 29th in Capricorn. Obviously, the usual symptoms of Mercury Retrograde will show up; miscommunications, mechanical breakdowns and sometimes the retrograde can drag back old flames and admirers from long ago; not because they want you back, but because they want attention. It’s important, during this time, to allow time for inner reflections that can help bring clarity for the time when Mercury goes direct on January 18th .
Definitely prepare for this upcoming retrograde cycle by backing up all of your files and data. Prepare for some inward reflection as 2022 unwinds and center your attentions on where you might be headed.
Now with all of this said, contrary to the custom New Year celebrations, new starts are not a great idea at the beginning of 2023. New Year’s Day this year is not good for starting anything new or to make those customary New Year resolutions; it is better not to push anything new along during the first few weeks of 2023. In fact, waiting until the second month of 2023 will better represent the new beginning that we might be waiting for.
In order to leverage the Universal energy as we slide into 2023, day dream more then intentionally follow your impulses, your intuition instead of going with the practical choice. Doing this will allow you to experience a series of good feeling events that will lead you to your hopes, wishes and dreams for 2023 and beyond!
You got this!! If you have questions about what this means to you, reach out to me.
PS: I’m excited to announce a new 12 month membership to Angels and Astrology. Check out the details here.
