Instead of the ‘new year, new me’ approach, how about ‘new year, better me’? Why change who you are when you can make small changes to habits, attitudes, and thought processes that result in bigger triumphs in the end? And with the Capricorn New Moon (January 16, 2018 @2124), the intentions and goals you set for 2018 are ready to take root.
New Moons are used to plant seeds that will be sowed with a corresponding Full Moon six months later (June 28, 2018 @0053). If you are willing and are open to positive changes in your life, the time is now. If you are still unclear of what direction to take, try my New Moon Magic ritual and explore what you want to achieve by mid-year. And don’t hesitate to think big. Capricorn’s energy is nothing but determined and focused. Under the magic of the Moon, where can you find you power and control?
With a realistic and practical approach, Capricorn puts progress first. But without a clearly laid out plan, how far will you really get? Even the most challenging mission can be completed with Capricorn’s focused and disciplined energy. Know what to do and how to get things done under this lunation.
When working out with the alchemy of this new moon, I feel focusing on rooting ourselves is important. The following stretch sequence is a great way to stretch out our legs, back, and spine for a strong foundation. In yoga, these poses are used to activate your root chakra and and ground yourself. I suggest holding each stretch for 10-12 breaths, and to repeat on each side when needed.
- Tree Pose
- Eagle Pose
- Mountain Pose
- Downward-Facing Dog
- Wide-Legged Forward Bend
