This is an excerpt of the New Moon Nuit Newsletter that I sent out for this month’s New Moon. If you are interested in receiving the full newsletter, please subscribe.

This New Moon occurs at 12° of the sign of Capricorn on Sunday, January 2 at 1:33 pm EDST. I consider this to be the best day to ritualize your new year — unless you prefer to wait for the astrological New Year on March 20, the Spring Equinox.

The Capricorn area of your chart has been lighting up for years now, with Pluto having gone into that sign in 2008. Think of your growth since then!

Capricorn is also where Venus is currently retrograding, and has been activated by touching Pluto. This dance continues and on Monday the 3rd of January the Moon activates Neptune in a blessing beam called a sextile; and then touches Venus, Pluto and Mercury. Whew!

This is a great energy to set some audacious goals that require hard work and discipline. It is a week to take some actions and initiate your manifesting powers through action!

This year is a huge year; you knew that, right? Please check out both my YouTube channel and my blog for lots of information about 2022. 

Capricorn New Moon Practices 

Ritualize the New Year. Complete your Maha Tarka. Go for an ambitious walk. Create a list of goals that are achievable by the Full Moon on January 17. Deal with your Daddy issues. Gather your tax paperwork. Set up a new budget. Get some Vitamin D. Give yourself an oil massage (abhyanga). Back up your technology (Mercury Rx is coming). Take responsibility. Invite your boss (or employees) to lunch.
