We start this week with the New Moon in Capricorn. This is the perfect astrological placement to start the week and even the new year! We’ll tell you why.
This is the perfect time to set intentions for yourself and think about how you want to show up for yourself and what you want to achieve in the coming year and in your life in general.
Capricorn is all about discipline. We talked about this briefly when we started Capricorn season. Discipline is not about being serious all the time, being overly rigid, or being an unhealthy workaholic. Discipline is about being a disciple, a student, of whatever you choose to dedicate your life to.
Being a disciple means living your daily life in accordance with your life purpose or calling. So before you make any decision, big or small, ask yourself: “Does this bring me closer to what I want to achieve and embody in my life?”
This New Moon is sextile Saturn in Pisces, which is a very favorable aspect because there is a harmonious relationship between the two planets. Saturn rules Capricorn, so this configuration provides extra support in accomplishing what is asked of you. Saturn is the planet of life lessons and life purpose. It is not played with!
At this point it is extremely important that you ask yourself: what lessons do you keep encountering in your life? And what did your soul incarnate in this physical form and this life to learn? Saturn is the archetype of the high school principal, the one who keeps an eye on you and wants to make sure you do the “work.”
Create an embodied and physical ritual for yourself on the day of the New Moon to invoke these energies. Doing this always makes things more tangible and accessible to your psyche, rather than just abstract thoughts and ideas floating around in your head. Part of this ritual may include writing down a list of things you want to spend your time and energy on. Writing things down helps you put things into a physical and tangible form, making you more likely to hold yourself accountable.
The sextile with Saturn in Pisces reminds you of the importance of dreaming and nurturing your creative spirit amid all this groundedness and pragmatism. It invites you to ensure that there is a direct relationship between these two aspects of your life. Dreaming endlessly and abstractly without giving it any form is unsatisfying because you will never see your dreams take a tangible and tangible form. Furthermore, being hyper-focused on your goals and achievements without achieving your dreams is an extremely tiring and soulless way to live.
Venus moves into Pisces midweek, further emphasizing the importance of dreaming, loving and creating.
Each planet feels most comfortable and strong enough to achieve what it desires in a certain sign, and for Venus that sign is Pisces. Venus is the planet of love, beauty, connection and relationships. What’s a better sign than a sensitive, romantic and empathetic Pisces?
This transit lasts about a month, and during this time you may feel a stronger desire to express your love and affection more freely and abundantly with your loved ones. Venus in Pisces does not discriminate, does not judge or separate. It’s all about oneness and merging with the loved one.
There is something extremely spiritual about this kind of love, because it is closest to the state of unity consciousness. This type of consciousness allows you to become aware of the true interconnectedness of all beings and life forms!
