New Moon in Capricorn

I really must tell you about a dream I had recently for it personifies what is happening at this time perfectly. Bowie appeared to me and he stood upon a stage, singing by himself. I heard "Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes.... turn and face the strain, ch-ch-Changes..." ring out over and over, like an echo in my soul. Why do I think this so appropriate now? Well, let's see, within a short 13 days we have:

Winter Solstice on Dec 21 ("Ch-") (for more info see below)
New Year Jan 1 ("Ch-"),
New Moon Jan 2 ("Ch-")
and Mercury Retrograde Jan 2 ("Ch-").
"CHANGES"

ALL of these great beginnings are routed in the cardinal energy of Capricorn. SO COME ON BABY LIGHT YOUR FIRE. The doors of opportunity, growth and CHANGE await you!

P.S. Look backwards before you look forward. See December's New Moon Magic and Total Solar Eclipse information (conveniently left below for you to ponder).  Clear that ground and plant your next season of growth. Use the energy of Mercury Retrograde Jan.02.03 through Jan. 22.03 to review, release, realign or reaffirm your position.

Full Moon in Cancer

Hey Moon Worshippers...Remember that Full Moons fulfill the potential of New Moons and allow us to balance polarities. Here we balance Capricorn and Cancer, career and family. Our professional responsibilties may clash with our personal desires. When looking at Capricorn and Cancer keep in mind that both these signs are cardinal energies.  Where Capricorn brings INITIATION, Cancer brings MANIFESTATION. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is the Mother of all Forms. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, can show us how to break free of our attachment to material forms so that we can become the very co-creators of those forms.  Combined, the motivation to manifest is accentuated and Capricorn brings the very structure and order Cancer requires to achieve manifestation.  So what the heck does this mean to you right now? If you are dissatisfied with the way your career life or family life have taken shape, use this Full Moon to initiate a change. Break the form and recreate your life under a new light.
