New Moon in Capricorn – Jan 8, ’16

Mercury Retrograde is active now, inviting you to slow down and review where you are, what’s working and what is calling for revision. At the same time, Jupiter (Higher Truth and wisdom) is Retrograde as well, inviting you to reassess your beliefs, truth, and alignment with your Higher Self in terms of who you are and where you’re spending your time and energy these days…

It’s easy to adopt an identity (an idea of yourself) and stick with it indefinitely, but the invitation is to look more deeply and feel into who you are now and who you are becoming. The energy is changing and so are you – and if not, you’ve stopped growing and you will be left behind.

Your core essence stays the same, but the way it expresses in the world changes as you evolve.

If you want to be awake, check your beliefs and attitudes because they color all your decisions. This is why I created the Frame Your Future teleclass – to help you align your current expression of Self with what is true for YOU.

The New Moon in Capricorn is on Sat, Jan 9th at 8:30pm EST and this is a reality check.

* Where do you need to get real (what are you avoiding)?

* Where do you need to take responsibility for yourself?

* Or are you overly responsible, caretaking  and disempowering others by doing for them what they should be doing for themselves?

Capricorn is the Lord of Karma, so you get back in equal measure what you put out.

* Where do you need to develop discipline in your life?

* Are you ready for a new health regimen, to budget your time or money more effectively, or to seek a new work opportunity?

Serious, security-oriented Capricorn rules commitment, goals, structure, methodical planning, boundaries, responsibility and achievement. This isn’t about being flashy – it’s about setting goals and then taking steps and doing the next right thing to make them REAL.

Powerful Pluto is sitting with the New Moon, coloring practical Capricorn with a transformational flavor by bringing up unconscious or hidden information.

You may be confronted by issues around power or powerlessness (yours or others). If so, it’s an opportunity to handle something that you weren’t ready to deal with before. Taking responsibility is how you learn to create what you want – and to stop tolerating (and creating) what you don’t want.

* Do you give your power away by seeking the approval of others?

* Do you dominate or do you give in as a survival strategy?

Saturn (Ruler of Capricorn) is with Venus this weekend, which supports manifesting creativity, owning your value, and practical relationships that meet the needs of both involved. Treat yourself and others as the precious gift(s) that you are.

Use the current energy to realign, clean up, reorganize and plan to move towards who you want to be in your life – and in your world. Hold the highest vision of yourself and your life that you possibly can. This will carry you forward in a beautiful way.

If a vision is in your consciousness, it is meant for you!
