CAPRICORN
Artist: Josephine Wall
Lovely, practical,
earthy Capricorn is usually blessed with a great sense of humour as well. Capricorn represents ambition, government,
authority, tradition, pragmatism, conservatism (although some Caps I’ve known have
been downright out there wacky!), endurance, business management, integrity,
economics, and practical expertise. Capricorns
work well where their intellect and analytical qualities can be used, which is
why they are so good at business in areas some would find stuffy and boring,
they thrive in these environments. They also make great engineers and inventors
and can be very creative. They can be as
stubborn as hell and their own worst enemies at times, which is why they needs
friends who can soothe their ruffled fur. High in integrity, they are loyal,
supportive friends and defender of the underdog.
Other
Energies and influences
We are now in what I call the New Year
Window. This is the month between Jan 1st
and the start of Chinese New Year. I have
noticed over the decades that it always takes about a month for the new year
energies to settle fully. And this year
has been no exception; in fact there has been a chaotic energy around since
January 1st. World wide politicians
continue to make incredibly stupid decisions confirming to me yet again, that we are merely dispensable fodder, so do not be fooled by anyone running for
office, they are only interested in their own agenda and the continued
desecration of this planet.
Nearer to home strange things have been happening
with folks being very clutzy and accident-prone, dropping things etc. Items have been disappearing sometimes for a
few hours, sometimes for days and then re-appearing etc.
This New Year Window is the ideal time
to clear clutter, as the new cannot come into your life unless you make space
for it. Check the back of food cupboards
and chuck out all the old stuff. Clean
the fridge. How long is it since you
cleared the attic/basement/garage/yard? It’s time for all the old clutter to
go. There are a lot of good things
waiting to come in for you, so make plenty of space for them.
Many like to detox/diet in January. On
this side of the pond, this is probably the most dangerous time of year to do
it. Whilst it has been milder than usual
for the season, there are so many viruses around that it is not worth it. (Detoxes and sudden diets lower your immune
system initially, which leaves you vulnerable to infection). By all means dump the junk and clean up your
diet but don’t go over the top. The
Spring is a much safer time to detox.
The changes that were rumbling around
you last year have to happen now. You
cannot put off those decisions any longer.
The changes you have been thinking about must now happen. You cannot proceed positively or prosper
unless you make these changes. And this
applies to all of us. Change is scary,
it makes you feel tired and makes you want to procrastinate, it makes you feel vulnerable. If only we could remember that by having the
courage to make these changes it makes us so much stronger. Procrastination and fear weaken us and make
us miserable, positive change strengthens us.
Be honest with yourself. Decide
what you want for yourself this year. Do
you want more fear and misery? Well then, make the changes you need to make.
2016 carries the vibration of 9 (2+0+1+6=9).
9 is the number of endings, new beginnings and transformation, which ties in
perfectly with the astrology we have been given.
Interestingly, countries associated with
9 are Syria, Ireland and Iraq. Let’s
include our entire world in our prayers, healings and blessings so that peace
may be possible.
9 is all about wholeness, acting as a
Light bearer and mentor for others yet still being student as well as
teacher. It is the number of humanity,
compassion, selflessness, being philanthropic, being a material
manifestor.
We need to remember the bigger picture,
and do more for humanity this year whilst we pursue our own dreams we need to
help all Beings achieve theirs. Be
compassionate and generous this year, whatever is going on, as everyone is
dealing with their own demons and battles.
Other Astrology
Mercury is retrograde
until the end of the month, so put off making important decisions until the
beginning of next month; use this month to think and plan and get all the
information you need. Mercury retrograde
gives you time to catch up with outstanding tasks like servicing the car
(especially before long journeys), backing up your computer and other devices,
fixing that leaking tap and getting rid of what is broken and beyond repair,
paperwork – get rid of as much of it as you can.
There is an upcoming
lovely alignment between Uranus and Venus who bring us abundance in love and
finances. Uranus is the awakener, therefore expect the unexpected, Venus
softens any curve balls. Remember that
Mercury is retrograde so the unexpected may just be that.
Also this New
Moon forms part of an “unusually potent Grand Cross”. Grand Crosses can be intense at times
especially for the signs they fall in. It is just more layers of the infernal
onion, and this time around we are better equipped to deal with whatever old
stuff may come up. We will be able to
recognize it for what it is, deal with it, heal it and then it’s gone.
NEW
MOON in Capricorn
This is a very
positive and potent New Moon. Practical
Cappy gives us the energy to lay the foundations for our plans/dreams/goals for
the year ahead. This New Moon is ideal for formulating our new plans and
intentions including a new, New Moon Wish List (see below). This New Moon is also linked to the planet of
good luck and opportunities – Jupiter – bringing many blessings our way. So
this is a great New Moon to do a New Moon ritual for yourself, all by yourself,
as you can create much magick with this special new moon.
Family
dynamics will be brought into the new light as old stuff comes up to be
healed. Don’t instantly fall into victim
mode like you always have in the past when they press your buttons. This time stop and think, ‘what is this
showing me?’, ‘is this about me or them?’, ‘do I really need to put up with
this anymore?’. Stand strong in who you
are; these old dysfunctional patterns are just another layer of what I call the
infernal onion, to be healed and then forgotten about. Family members may be a bit put out when you
stand up for yourself – tough - they will just have to get used to it. You have changed so much over the past year
and you are no longer willing to play the roles you have been typecast in. This year you are writing a new, improved
script for yourself, in which you are victor not victim. So what if you rock the boat? All of our boats are being rocked right now. This is the year of being confident in
yourself so go for it.
With several
planets going retrograde, we are all going back before we can move forwards. Try not to resist this; it is necessary to do
this work to clear your path for the way ahead.
You don’t want to take the same old same old into your bright new future
do you? Take time regularly to go within
and listen to the messages being given to you.
NEW MOON WISH LIST
Don’t forget to write your
New Moon Wish List (especially all you Capricorns!).
Take plenty of time over
this, Mercury is retrograde, He invites you to go back and have a good think
about what you really want.
As this is the first New
Moon of the year, think carefully about what you wish for/desire to manifest
this year.
Find a quiet space where
you cannot be disturbed.
Light a candle and perhaps
light some incense.
Choose a beautiful piece of
paper and a lovely pen to write with.
Sit quietly and take a few
deep breaths to centre you and ground you.
In your mind’s eye see all
the things that you want, really look at them see the colours, feel the sensations
and sounds.
Then when you are ready,
start writing.
Make it a big list, a long
list if you want, put everything in it that you want to happen/experience/have
this year. Think big, there are no
restrictions (only the ones you impose yourself), so go for it!
Always ask as if it has
already arrived, i.e.
“Thank you Universe for
xxxxxxxxx.”
Most of all feel excited
about it, and have fun with it.
At least once a week, sit
and visualise the items on your list, really feel/see/hear/sense as you did when
you wrote the above list.
Remember that your thoughts
create your reality and visualization is the magnet for materialization.
Be confident about who you
are and what you want, confidence is also very magnetic and has the attraction
factor!
To know how this New Moon may affect you, here’s an insight for your Sun
Sign by the wonderful Chani Nicolas (www.ChaniNicolas.com):
ARIES / Aries rising
Saturday’s new moon sets your career house humming along some pretty
intense tracks. Looks like you are itching to take a bite out of what you are
beginning. Looks like you are wanting to make moves that are undeniably
deliberate advancements towards inhabiting more of your power in your
professional life. Mercury retrograde
messes with some of your more direct plans. There are some things that will
have to wait, but that isn’t a bad thing. Take your drive seriously. Take your
ambitions into account. Take others up on the help they’d like to hand you and
take the next three weeks to revise, rework and strategically lay down the law
for future feats to be accomplished.
TAURUS / Taurus rising
Saturday’s new moon has the power to set you on
track for a spiritual renewal. One that wants to suss out those that would sell
you fake potions, fear-based oracles and doctrines of deceit. Saturday’s new
moon has the power to shake up what you consider holy and wholly important.
Saturday’s new moon might kick your ass into gear around going for what is
truly meaningful to you and letting all other distractions get crossed off your
list. Smash the tropes that keep you from knowing yourself.
GEMINI / Gemini rising
Saturday’s new moon and the rest of Mercury’s retrograde madness all
happen in a part of your chart that delves into the deep waters of shame,
regret, debt and the destructive patterns we all house in our psyches. The
human condition demands that we confront our fears or get eaten alive by them.
Loss is inevitable. But so is renewal of the spirit if we take up the intense task
of rescuing ourselves. I’m going to
suggest that you do so by letting others help you. I’m going to suggest that
you compost your shame around what you’ve been given to carry, what you have
inherited and what you owe so that you can strategize for regrowth. I’m going
to suggest that you look at your debt and make strategic measures to do what
you can to manage it. Meanwhile see about making some psychological room around
feelings that you have about it so that you don’t discredit yourself in the
face of an unfair system. Make it possible to allow others to help you. Don’t
be too proud to be receptive towards what wants to support you and your growth.
CANCER / Cancer rising
Saturday’s new moon wants to break down old defenses that make it hard
for love to get through to you. Saturday’s new moon wants you to remember that
each creative act you commit to is also a relationship that can sustain you
with a deep satisfaction. Saturday’s new moon wants to next level your
commitment to deconstructing all the walls that keep out what you so
desperately deserve: a truly loving embrace that lasts.
LEO / Leo rising
Saturday’s new moon spurs sentiments at work or in regards to the
projects that you are hard at work on (workout regimes included). A desire to
strive for more might be sneaking up on you. A surge in your appetite for
bargaining power, a need to transform and renew your dedication to the job or a
realization that you have outgrown your surroundings and are simply craving
more might be dawning on you. You’ve got to give yourself room to expand, room
to review and room for more of you in all that you do at work and beyond.
VIRGO / Virgo rising
Saturday’s new moon begins a new phase of your romantic journey, your
creative path and/or any newfound modes of self-expression you’ve stumbled
upon. You have a deep well to draw from right now. You’ve got creative
callings. You’ve got epic amounts of love to share with others. You’ve got more
than one old romantic situation to salvage, seal up or set right. You’ve got a
lot of review to do in terms of the kiddos in your life and how you find your
way of working through issues with them.
If you can carve out some new moon intention setting time make it rich
with incantations for healing your heart and helping you find a way to play
everyday.
LIBRA / Libra rising
Give yourself the love you seek.
Notice what happens to you when you try to acquire outside validation.
Notice what happens to your energy when you need another or many others to tell
you that you are enough. Notice how much self worth can be derived from doing
the best job possible right now. That’s where your power is this week and for
the next few. Use it. Saturday’s new
moon occurs in your 4th house of home, family and foundation. It’s an
invitation to root down. It’s an invitation to uproot the weeds that strangle
diversity. It’s an invitation to revitalize the soil that you build your life
upon. Compost your stories of not belonging, of not having a home, and of not
knowing where to be. Dig down until you find warmth. Re-plant yourself,
re-parent yourself, and re-name yourself found.
SCORPIO / Scorpio rising
Saturday’s new moon is an invitation to purge your daily duties of all
that doesn’t count for much. The time consuming little escapades might need to
get cut from the calendar so that more important matters can be front and
center. Get to your big tasks, your big ideas and the big conversations that
you need to have. With Mercury mostly retrograde through this part of your
chart it’s not that all your conversations and ideas will be made immediately
manifest; it’s just that clearing room for them will help you review, rework
and edit them into perfection and a final product that you are proud of come
the end of January.
SAGITTARIUS / Sagittarius rising
Saturday’s new moon is an invitation to renew your self-respect.
Saturday’s new moon is an invitation to mine your resources for the gold that
lies there. Saturday’s new moon may just reveal a plan for financial windfalls
that occur as a byproduct of believing in yourself. If the money doesn’t come
that easy it doesn’t mean you haven’t done it right or that you have done
anything wrong. That’s just new age, aggressively positive, capitalist
propaganda. Since Mercury is retrograde (mostly) through your 2nd house of
finances, some of the cash flow could go a little astray, but it’s only
momentary. Keep your eye on the work that you can do around self-value and
self-appreciation through cultivating all your skills and reviewing your
business strategies.
CAPRICORN / Capricorn rising
Saturday’s new moon in Capricorn asks you to excavate your powers of
self-perception. See yourself. Strip down. Sit still. Settle in. Let renewal be
your religion. Give yourself the freedom that you haven’t felt worthy of having.
Give yourself the gift of a complete makeover. Give yourself some room to move
because it looks like you could be shifting your home base, allowing your
internal one to reinvent itself or being charged with the task of trying to
ground while it’s shifting beneath your feet. The good news there is that it
hopefully keeps you feeling stimulated and excited on a fundamental level.
AQUARIUS / Aquarius rising
Sometimes little scuffles are just our invitation inward. Sometimes
minor irritations just get us to pause long enough to root around for the
pebble in our shoe. This more aptly describes the majority of Mercury’s
retrograde for you, though by the end of the month you may have located
something more like a boulder to dislodge from an inconvenient location.
Saturday’s new moon is an opening that may help you to make the most of this
inward gazing. Make a ritual out of napping. Make a ritual out of refreshing
yourself and resetting your body, mind and spirit. Make a ritual out of taking
the day off to let yourself decompress and, if in the process you come up
against memories, feelings and facts long repressed, remember that it’s part of
the process and not part of the problem.
PISCES / Pisces rising
With Mercury beginning its retrograde in a part of your chart that
deals with aspects of our selves that tend towards self-destruction, Tuesday
may evoke a knee-jerk response in you that reveals such tendencies. It’s a
quick transit so downplay any internal drama by listening to and loving
yourself through it. The rest of the
retrograde is spent retracing your steps through your 11th house in an attempt
to understand your relationships with friends, allies and your place in the
group on a deeper level. This is also the place that Saturday’s new moon
initiates and renews. You may be reorganizing how you handle your social life.
With a major career commitment up this week, there could be a couple of reasons
why you need to pay deeper attention to who is really down for you and who
might be draining your resources.

The past few years have knocked the stuffing out of some folks. Now it is time to rebuild yourself and your
life. It’s time to stop beating yourself
up, stop trying so hard, stop worrying so much – especially about others. It’s time to focus on you.
- What do you need to do in order to manifest your new Wish
List/dreams/goals?
- What do you need to let go of in order to achieve this?
- What do you need to learn in order to manifest them?
- Who do you need to meet/connect with or collaborate with?
- What do you need to do to feel well, confident and happy?
- What must change in order for you to feel well, confident and happy?
- What needs to change regarding the way you work and are of service in
our world?
- What now feels outdated and is not a match for you any more?
- What makes you feel heavy rather than excited about your working day?
Trust your gut when making decisions about anything or anyone this
year. The body never lies, so trust that
inner guru and don’t override any contractions or twinges you feel in your
Solar Plexus, or warning bells, they are there for a reason. Also check how your energy feels in relation
to the situation, does it make your energy drop or do you feel excited and
positive?

Remember that Capricorn is the goat/ram, and as Isha Lerner described
it,
“Capricorn connects us to the mountaintop of our dreams, yet at the same
time asks us to build a constitution of perseverance.”
So persevere this year and be confident like
the sure-footed goat and climb that mountaintop to your dream.
Our Wood SHEEP spray mist can
help you, as it contains the energies of the Goat/Ram as well as the wood Sheep
which all help to move us forward.
Sheep cannot go backwards or sideways, they can
only go forwards. This Spray Mist brings us slow and steady progress with fun
along the way. New friendships and collaborations come together now and existing
ones deepen. The Goat aspect reminds us
that goats are incredibly agile in difficult circumstances. Goat brings us the
ability to remain agile in whatever situation we find ourselves. Goats are
determined critters and help us to keep going whatever the odds. The Ram aspect reminds us not to butt heads,
or to bang our heads against a brick wall.
Ram reminds us that sometimes it is better to walk away with our dignity
intact. Ram also comes to us as a
guardian totem and will offer his power as and when you need it. (Sometimes it takes a battering ram to break
through someone or something tough).
This Spray Mist prepares you for the coming
Chinese New Year and provides solid support when the going gets tough over the
months ahead. This spray mist helps you
to build a strong physical and spiritual foundation for the year ahead.
