General Synopsis & Aspects
This moon brings clarity of vision, practicality in action, and maturity in the strategy and development of long term plans. We are moving forward towards the future with the arsenal of wisdom and lessons we have gained thus far. Capricorn is a no nonsensical energy, we do not have time for sugar coating with ourselves or beating around the bush. When it comes to our intentions. This is a time to be specific, intentional, action oriented, disciplined, and strategic in our approach to everything. In Sagittarius season we were allowed to have our heads in the sky, optimism was rampant, and we could be lofty and explorative. Capricorn demands that we get back down to earth and embrace order with administrative intelligence. Its time now to see how well the wisdom we gained in the 9th house season can work out in the world.
Spirit asks that we take this time to learn to actively manage ourselves in action, stride, and consistency even when no one is watching. We are asked to admit to our worldly desires and do the work to gain them while maintaining the understanding that we don’t have to be on an endless loop of achievement. We gain the wisdom that legacy, long term success, reputation, and the will that we put behind our words is much more valuable than instant gratification, and temporary validation. Take some time during this moon to consider these concepts and release accordingly.
Cardinal signs may find that internal pressure increases as we transit this energy; Scorpio and Pisces will find that learning to accept detachment and lean into consistency bring them favor. Capricorn sun people will want to specifically honor and tap into the frequency of this moon as it signifies a new beginning and cycle for them with the sun and moon aligning in their birth sign. For everyone though, check your chart to see where Capricorn is housed or if Capricorn is intercepted all together. Based on where Capricorn lives in your chart you can narrow down which area if life will be affected the most. Fir example, I am a Capricorn sun however, I am a Scorpio rising which means my first house cusp sign is Scorpio, second house Sagittarius, and third house Capricorn. While this moon and time of year in general illuminates my personality, and sense of connection to the world; I find that its. A time where I am thirsty to learn more, deepen my understanding, and invoke more mental stimulation; I also usually get a whole bunch of great new ideas, become clear on epiphanies and lessons experienced throughout the year, and find myself a lot more vocal whether verbal or written you can usually catch me asserting my thoughts, opinions, and ideas much more. Third house is the house of the mind, Mercury is its ruler so having the influence of Capricorn there brings discipline, clarity, and development to that area. I hope that made sense, anyway check your houses and see which house Capricorn falls into then give yourself a little journal assignment about how that aspect is usually affected during this time of year, and what your current goals are in that area.

Moon square Jupiter: This brings a little bit of a struggle with discipline as its easy to get caught up in our moods. Overall though this aspect brings optimism, connection, and smooth communications.
Affirmations
I know that my feeling of duty, discipline and dominion is the way that spiritual love expresses through me. I recognize that order, consistency, and strategically directed will are the highest forms of self love I can gift to myself in this time. I embrace this time of self management and organization with joy, surrender, and commitment.
Within me is an opening to infinite layers of self. I embrace change as an opportunity and enter the unknown with my head held high. I allow all layers of falsehood and attachment to dissolve as I emerge into infinite possibility. I release myself from being bound by my own fears, I walk in liberation encompassed my light. I listen to the parts of myself seeking to be heard and honor them effectively. I trust in the process of my transformation and I declare that what was before will not be again. I am free, I am fortunate, I am forgiven. I am worthy I am while I am one with the all. I give thanks to divinity, discipline, duality, awareness, and the universe. Ase
Psalm 119: This is a psalm that is great for getting rid of bad habits, invoking discipline, favor, optimism, clarity, and forgiveness. We are offered help with understanding, enhanced knowledge, protection, and financial literacy which brings abundance. With this psalm we silence those who may demonize, doubt, or persecute us and we are offered healing, protection, prosperity, and wisdom. Its perfect for this Capricorn energy not just for the new moon but throughout Capricorn season.

Capricorn New Moon Word of my Will Ritual
Take a bath with some mint, rose, and basil for prosperity, protection, discipline, favor, control, and magnetism. You can add whatever oils you would like just try not to exceed three if you use different ones and as always definitely add some salt.
While in the tub say this affirmation aloud three times: I understand that discipline is a form of self care and I give my word to myself to keep my promises first and foremost to me and for me. I accept that if I have the vision, it’s my responsibility to find the time and energy to bring it forth. I know that I am favored in my climb, and welcomed and supported in my connections. I forgive myself for falling short in the past, and I release any guilt or shame surrounding failures, toxic cycles, and procrastination. I am worthy of all that I desire and my determination and focused will is the best way. I am fine, I am divine, and everything I want is already mine.
bathe as you normally would , and remain in the tub for at least 30 mins, smudge yourself when you get out of the tub, then proceed to the next step.
Create a commitment contract for yourself and include the following
Pick 1 thing to sacrifice or give up over the next three to four weeks and list it along with the reason you are choosing this sacrifice. You may also choose one thing per week for the next three weeks.
List 3 goals or habits you wish to apply or achieve over the next 3 months

When you’re done recite psalms 21, break it down line by line for yourself and recite your rewritten version. Next get a green, gold, and white candle or any variation of the three as long as you have three total candles, you can even use three tea lights if that’s all you have. You are going to dress the candles in thyme, bay leaves and calendula with some olive oil or your magical oil of choice. You are going to pray psalms 119 over your candle along with any other incantations you wish to speak, speak life and purpose into your herbs, then light your candle. As the candle burns down you will complete this meditation, this will complete the ritual.
