January 11th is a Capricorn New Moon.
The dark moon in Capricorn sees all there is to come—the abundance, the reckonings, the pleasure, and all the transformations ahead. On a new moon in Capricorn, possibility
bubbles up from the soil, clings to the plants like dew, and lashes out like an eager wind. Capricorn knows this song of better that most; this tenacious sign is better attuned to their potential than perhaps any other sign in the zodiac. Capricorn is adept at levying cost and reward, at weighing their odds and working them to their advantage. But practical though the Goat may be, at their heart, they are a visionary.
This lunation, allow Capricorn to steady you through your most reckless, radical, and imaginative visions for the new year, and lean on the budding energy of the new moon to coax out their roots. What would it mean for you to trust in your abilities, to honor your limits, and to acknowledge your potential without the burden of guilt, shame, or resentment? What self-imposed limits are you ready to cast aside,
so you can surge forward into the new year with confidence? The new moon in Capricorn is here to shine a spotlight old wounds and patterns, particularly those rooted in self-worth. Know that you are so worthy, babe—you always have been. Compassion isn't something you need to earn. Offer it to yourself now, as much as you can.
As you set
your intentions for the year ahead—how you want to grow, what you need to relinquish so you can make room for what your spirit truly needs—set your sights on Capricorn as a guiding light. Give your vision the permission it needs to take up space, to endure, to materialize. Don't be afraid to sink into the nitty gritty, to get your hands dirty, or begin the work of planning the future of your dreams. Capricorn is a willing teacher, and they'll be the first to remind you there's
no shame in admitting when you need help getting started.
January 25th is a Leo Full Moon.
This full moon is a spotlight, and it's shining down on you, babe. It's okay if your first instinct is to flinch away, to retreat to the safety of
introspection—but this full moon isn't here to interrogate you. A Leo full moon is here to offer praise, support, and on occasion a healthy amount of discomfort. The Lion of the zodiac is fearless, and anything but tame. Ruled by the sun, Leo's only desire is to bask—in their wildest dreams, in yours, and in the dreams of the collective unconscious.What would it mean to not only speak your dreams aloud, but to sing them? To make
desiring something just outside your reach beautiful? To make asking for what you want, what you deserve, seem so mundane that you don't need to fear it anymore? How can you use this to lean even further into the year of Strength?
This full moon is here to make your dreams come true—at a cost. To become a brazen,
beautiful, beastly creature, you'll have to give up the safety that comes with shallow admiration. Striving to become well-liked by those who have no idea who you really are is a waste of your precious energy, babe. When was the last time you gave up something you wanted or needed, because speaking up about your desires would put your likability at risk? When was the last time you felt proud of yourself when there was no one else watching? And when was the last time you took the
time to lavish yourself with affection and praise after a failure?
Don't retreat into the shadows this full moon. Allow the spotlight to light you up—get comfortable with the discomfort. Be honest with yourself, but not cruel. Take a hard look at what you need help with, but don't admit defeat before you've even tried. Gaze into the
mirror. Lay out the map of your desires. Roar at the moon. Then, allow yourself to soften.
