CAPTAIN: Capricorn Full Moon

It’s a full Moon in Earth sign Capricorn today. Re-visit intentions if you set them when the moon was new in Capricorn, 6 months ago. Where are you at with them at this stage of your journey? If not, send them out now to be revealed under the bright light of this full Moon- at the 1/2 way point, & peak of its cycle.

Capricorn is a sign of career, ambition, hard work and working toward accomplishment of long term goals. Use this energy to set your goals and make a practical plan on how to get there. Reverse engineer to a point that you can get some traction on now.

The Moon as we know, governs our emotional life, what makes us feel safe, nurtured and a sense of belonging/family & home.

The Moon is in a challengeing aspect (square) to wounded healer Chiron in sensitive Pisces. What do you need to heal in order to have those needs met? This includes needs for your own ambition and career, as these things can give us a great sense of personal accomplishment as well as security. Being in an Earth sign, that includes material security, as well as the credit we have from our reputaiton. position and skills.

Saturn rules Capricorn, and its currently merged (conjunct) with the Moon. Saturn can limit and isolate as well as focus. Today could feel a little lonely or like hard work unless you embrace the opportunity it provides for focus. Uranus is an a favourable aspect (trine) suggesting we lean into change and try something new. Saturn is retrograde, (as is Mars, Jupiter and Neptune). Don’t be surprised if you need to go back and do a fresh take on a few things. You may need to re-visit some old habits in order to clear them, now’s the time. While Saturn is usually more like hard work than fun, it does reward any work done, so do the emotional work and it will be worth it. What kind of tangible action can you invest and what tangible results will you  accomplish?

Potential is all around you, yet if its not congruent with your beliefs you wont even see it. Opening up your mind and setting intentions helps get your unconcious on board to navigate a new pathway. Doing the emotional work, and opening up your beliefs about what you deserve & can achieve is key to this process. Do the work, as Byron Katie says, and you’ll reap the benefits.
Happy Full Moon!

EMPIRE 🌙 New Moon in Capricorn

On New Moons release the past, any habits, conditioning, thoughts, beliefs that aren’t authentic or no longer serve you. At this time the Moon and Sun are united at the exact same degree in the sky, merging our conscious and unconscious aspects. Energy drops into a contemplative, reflective and quiet mode.
This makes rich soil for hacking your inner/higher self/subconscious. Get that 95% of your brain on board for future goal setting and planning.
Write down what you’re releasing, then burn as you visualise and feel yourself let go with love and gratitude for how they have served you up until now.

 

New Moons are about Manifesting so plant the seeds of intention you want to sew, then water them with action. Write up to 10 intentions / affirmations to bring into your life over the next six months, by the Full Moon in CAPRICORN. This is when the Sun & Moon are opposite each other facing off in polarity.

 

To take it a step further draw or make a vision board for your plans, make sure you add a fruition date. Add potency by fuelling your vision with strong emotions, work in the positive rather than from a place of lack, fear etc. Feel and see your vision as if in the present. Seeds you sew in the mix will most likely germinate so make sure you cultivate exactly what you want.

Focus on areas and approaches that CAPRICORN rules, such as;

• Authority
  Career
  Goals
  Commitment
  Self discipline
  Social Status
  Respect
  Reputation
  Accomplishment
  Hard work
  Utilising opportunities
  Maturity

 

• Eg:
  I easily find myself taking charge in every area of my life
• I easily experience healthy self respect and respect for others in all situations
• I easily embrace each level of success as it arrives, stacking the benefits
• I experience positive recognition, a sense of authority and mastery in my profession as a …..
• I easily find myself listening to and following the authority of my own inner being and higher mind
• I easily see how I can support my collaborators in a mutually beneficial way
• I easily find myself taking those actions that lead to an enhanced social status
• I easily pursue and see which goals, when attained, will bring me the most happyness
• I easily accept responsibility for my situation in a way that empowers me to make the most of every advantage.
• I easily commit to those things, people, actions and beliefs that are in my best interest and serve others the most.

 

I had no choice but to BOSS UP and create my own lane

Play the BIG Game

Capricorn is the 3rd Earth sign, concerned with the professional realm in society, creating structure and highly ambitious. This sign knows the way the world works and likes to build her influence.
With 6 planets (Venus, Sun, Moon, Pluto, Mercury, Saturn)  currently in Capricorn you’ll get a whole lotta professional bang for your buck this month.  It’s time to build on Success and consider transferable skills if you’re building Empire. Is it time to step out and up in your career or business?

Where in your life do you need to draw in her power boss attitude, self discipline, focus and competence? Under New Moon in Cap its highly advisable to load up on what ever it takes to get that social status where it needs to be. If you’re afraid of heights aim for the peak and don’t look down because Caps like to be on top baby.

This New Moon pulls Venus the planet of love and finance into its pragmatic mix. Set your sights on those you want to emulate or rub shoulders with. Lubricate your social ascent all the way to the penthouse with charm, diplomacy and the right contacts.

Pluto the brooding intense power planet of extreme makeovers aka transformation combines to power shift if you’re willing to let go of anything holding you back. Be ready to strip back structures that are outdated, ready to start from the ground up.

You’ll need to shake it up and do things differently. Push through and challenge yourself to let go of aspects of your professional life that no longer serve you and usher in change. A difficult aspect (square) to Uranus compels us to think far beyond the limits of our current box. If you’ve been resisting tech in your business, career or public image now would be the time to get a handle on that. Bring your business into the future and you’ll be ahead of the pack.

This New Moon is travelling with the Retrograde Mercury so plan and then plan again, knowing there could be some adjustments still to make..think course correction, out side the box, and that new information is most likely going to come to light with in the next few weeks if not six months.

The Retrograde Mercury suggests communication needs some work, study or even incorporating some short trips for career, business or to improve your social standing/status.

Check out this recent post on the current Mercury Retrograde for further details and consider how you can work that into your personal New Moon Intentions.

“One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals….”

– Michelle Obama, needs no explanation.

Your natal chart reveals the area of your life this New Moon falls, (Eg career, relationships, money mastery etc) and where these intentions are best placed.
For example if the New Moon falls in your 11th house of social networks, peers and groups then you already like to have some sort of leadership or authority in that area.

How can you further your status as an ‘expert’ among peers? Leading workshops in your field is a great example, as well as organising and holding events generally. Can you write an e-book that shows off your specialisation and positions you as the go to person among peers? Or perhaps join a public speaking program/group or speak at events?

For example, if I as an astrologer had this Moon in my 11th house(of peers and groups) I’d be choosing a key specialisation in Astrology I wanted to be known for and signing up to speak at Astrology conferences. That way I’d be speaking to peers rather than the general public. The aim would be to build my name and business as ‘an Astrologer for astrologers’ rather than the general public. As it turns out I don’t have to book flights to the next International Astro conf as the New Moon is in my 8th house of sex, death, occult and other peoples resources..sounds good!

If you need further certification, learning or information for any endeavour, then plan for that. I recommend you hold off signing up for another 2 weeks minimum. Use the time to work on your master plan.

Re-MASTERED : Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn

THE MASTER PLAN:

Time to CULL ideas, re-assess and come up with your most sturdy, water tight plan yet.
In Capricorn, Mercury (ruling the mind and particularly all forms of communications) likes to get serious, plan and make sure everyone is accommodated for.

Use the holidays to really let go of your day to day mundane logistics to gain a birds of view of what you really want to achieve for 2017 and beyond. Think enduring ideas and plans.  Stay open to a complete revision of what you thought you were going to do in 2017.
Work backwards and write up a step by step for how to, then stick to the plan. Capricorn is less flights of fancy and more cranking of gears and delegating.

Consider how you can get your ideas out and into the ring. Evaluate how you communicate..how can you deliver inspiration as well a maturity and authority? Or is there study you need to complete to get you to the next level? Mercury travels back to late Sag where it seems we’ve missed a step or left something behind we need to bring back into our game play.

What will it take to be taken more seriously? Time to expand your vocab? Get on top of particular languaging? Or just get your site/social media looking more professional and purpose based.

The area of life this retrograde takes place in indicates the area of life needing planning and strategy.

CHOICE FATIGUE : 

This Retro may have us all regretting some shopping decisions made while the Sun’s been in impulsive and ‘more is more’ Sag, however you can always return, exchange or spread the love in a re-gift. Keep only what you really need to help achieve your top goals.

GEEK FACTS:

AEST-Mercury 15 degrees Capricorn Retro from Dec 20 to Jan 8th, back to 28 degrees Sagittarius.

Mercury clears the point it began retrograding on Jan 31. (Out of ‘shadow’).

I’ll be drawing up my goal, reverse engineering it in bullet point steps and writing it up like a pro geek on my white board. How will you re-vision you dreams, then reverse engineer, tips are always welcome!
