We start this long-awaited New Year with the first New Moon of 2021 in the earth sign of Capricorn where personal responsibility to practical matters, including health, career and finances are well served. Merely days past a year we were relieved to move beyond many challenges continue. However, this New Moon rising in the dark sky, unseen but felt urges us to keep going, one step at a time; to look to the future and nurture the seeds of our great potential.

The New Moon phase supports setting intentions for new beginnings and Capricorn, a cardinal sign has a natural urge for getting started on some plan or project not yet realized. Capricorn with a strong will, living up to self-defined values is disciplined, logical and self-sufficient. Striving to accomplish “great work” and needing a certain amount of solitude, Capricorn’s steady focus on reaching goals becomes the shadow expression when workaholism, loneliness or becoming emotionally closed off takes over.
