New Moon in Capricorn 2022

FULL MOON IN CANCER 2023

A few days after Winter Solstice & the Moon is born again to join the Sun in the Stellar dance!

Can you sense the quickening of the energy? Do you feel the pull of the light? Despite both Uranus & Mars being retrograde & Mercury slowing to his last retrograde station of this current year, the sparks are beginning to ignite!

Mars is moving very slowly now…the beheaded chicken is beginning to flag in its race around the barnyard—lol…At this point in the retrograde, we have reached an almost still point with Mars just a few degrees away from his STATION DIRECT on January 12, 2023. We can now start to feel the return of normality as Mars gets ready to shift in his circling around in Gemini energy. Though we do not step out of the shadow of this particular retrograde until March 2023, it will start to feel different. We are moving into the integrative part of the process so it’s time to roll up our sleeves & get our thinking caps firmly in place. The upside of this energy is how creative it can be once we exercise some discipline & impose some order. Ideas, inspirations & clever articulations—that’s Gemini…

Uranus is just shy of his own Station Direct degree as well. Though we still have several years of shift & change ahead, we have the sense that we are coming to the end game of this particular upturning. We feel like it’s time to restore order. Early birds get the worm. Start considering NOW what strategies you can implement so as to stabilize yourself. Reconnect to basic, natural practices that tether you to the EARTH and keep you grounded. Our sense of the organic has been greatly disrupted and especially so in the last few years. Some of us now distrust the natural world, seeing it as an enemy rather than as a friend. The enforced isolation that we all experienced created a sense of trepidation in our consciousness about engaging in ‘normal’ human activities like congregating with community. Other humans were to be feared & avoided. Whether these protocols were appropriate or not is not the issue. The issue is that we are a HERD species & the NATURAL order is to flock together, to engage, to share space. That is why humans have always lived in community, one kind or another, starting with villages & ending up in the huge megacities of our time. The key is that this NATURAL way of existing has been disrupted. At the very least, many are questioning it. Some even think that we should all be ‘bubble boys’ so as to not get contaminated by others. Along with all of the other natural disruptions, we have to now deal with the consequences of the Uranus transit through Taurus & re-stabilize, re-align, and even reform our own internal sense of NATURAL LAW. Our survival depends upon it.

Within the arc of this lunar period, Mercury Stations Retrograde for the last time in 2022. This retrograde, beginning on December 29 @ 25* Capricorn takes up to January 18, 2023, when he Stations Direct @ 9* Capricorn. This mid-January time is set to be notable indeed. By January 22, 2023, right after the next New Moon, all of the planets will be in Direct Motion. More on that next month but for now, get ready to get into gear, shake off the confusion & indecision & put some miles on the odometer!

Jupiter is newly entered into Aries, a most exuberant & hopeful energy &, in this lunation, in square aspect to the New Moon. Dare to do it! Take that chance! Go for your own version of GOLD! Jupiter infuses us with an aspiration to the heights of what we can achieve & Aries provides us with the grit & courage to actually try for it. The next 6 months, as Jupiter rushes through Aries, look to be exciting, inspiring & ground-breaking if we just work with the energy of enterprise.

The Sabian Symbols for this New Moon are:

2* Capricorn: THREE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS, ONE DAMAGED BY BOMBARDMENT

2* Cancer:  A MAN ALL BUNDLED UP IN FUR LEADING A SHAGGY DEER

What needs healing in your life? Three is often considered to be a ‘holy’ number & certainly, it is the number of creativity. Much has been broken within us as a collective & it is now time to begin the restoration work. As the polarity symbol suggests, each of us has to do this repair work individually & often under arduous circumstances. And yet, as both symbols point out, we have resources still intact & help that can sustain us as we fight for our survival. It is incumbent upon each one of us to make an account of where we are strong & where we are weak & then to address these issues.

Are you taking care of your body?

Do you manage your thoughts?

Is your connection to the divine intact?

Do a review & then get to work.

 

 

 

The Full Moon in Cancer shines her light on us on January 6, 2023 @ 5:09 PM CST. This is the Lady Moon in her HOME SIGN. Expect to experience emotional surges.

Mercury is still retrograde, now @ 18* Capricorn. Mars is at 9* Gemini and within a few days of his Station Direct (January 12, 2023). Uranus is also almost at his Station Direct point. The next few weeks will demonstrate a definite shift of energy. Our mental state will start to clear & we will feel more inclined to take action. Expect some breakthroughs to begin to occur. Jupiter in Aries will add some steam to the mix!

Review what you have experienced over the past few years. This is a good time to do so as we are still within the arc of the Winter Solstice. Collectively we have just had a mundane NEW YEAR so everything points to initiation, to resolution & to the creation of fresh new ‘habitual rituals’ to enhance our lives. Make this review of your own life & see if there are areas where you can improve, facilitate or tweak things to create the reality that best reflects who you are HERE & NOW.

The Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon are:

17* Cancer: THE GERM GROWS INTO KNOWLEDGE & LIFE

 

17* Capricorn: A GIRL SURREPTIOUSLY BATHING IN THE NUDE

Everything begins somewhere & sometime. It is a process that must follow its own course. It will arrive at its conclusion at exactly the ‘right’ time, not early nor late. Trust the process. Trust your own intuitive sense of the process. Be bold but do not make haste. It is time for you to reveal yourself, to be open, to be true to who you are. It may be a bit nerve-wracking at the front end but the reward for the courage to speak the truth is never-ending!
