Hello,

And welcome to Through the Phases,

An astrological,

Intuitive moon journaling session for the Capricorn Moon Cycle 2021.

The dates are January 13,

2021 through February 11,

2021,

Universal Time.

We will focus on the eight common phases of the moon.

The New Moon,

Crescent,

First Quarter,

Gibbous,

Full Moon,

Disseminating,

The Last Quarter,

And Balsamic Moon.

The cycle of the moon represents the cycle of growth.

A good way to envision it is to follow the cycle of plant life from germination to flower to seed.

The cycle of darkness and reflected light is imprinted within all life on Earth.

The repeating patterns of light and darkness of the moon's phases invites a personal reflection on our inner knowledge,

Helping to experience a state of intuitive listening and alignment with the ever-changing cycle of nature.

A few details of our journaling together.

Astrological knowledge is not necessary,

Although helpful.

If you are new to astrology,

You will be learning as you go,

Developing and deepening your knowledge of astrology through self-observation,

Your journaling,

And engaging in your own life.

If you have more advanced astrological skills,

Bring your own resources and knowledge base to this focused work.

The sentences that you compose your intuitive journal entries can also be aligned with the tarot,

Your oracles or affirmation decks,

Prayers or spell work for further journaling for each phase.

The astrological degrees of the moon are calculated in tropical zodiac using universal time.

This makes conversion to your own time zone easy to do.

You can do this session with or without your own natal birth chart.

However,

Using your own chart offers a more personalized journaling experience by identifying the moon phase degree in the relevant house of your own natal chart.

To further personalize your journaling,

Knowing your natal moon phase offers an added personalization of your journaling too,

So you can focus your creative intuitive strengths during that particular phase every month.

Also noting when the moon revisits the same astrological degree as your natal moon degree can also offer a strong creative intuitive time frame.

A brief note about weaving intuition into your daily life.

Sometimes staying constantly in tune with intuition and empathic process can be overwhelming.

A system of grounding and balance is required.

So please find a grounding exercise that works for your individual needs.

This journaling process is not meant as a substitute for professional mental health or spiritual counseling.

So let's begin our intuitive moon journaling together.

Using universal time,

The new moon is on January 13th,

2021 at 5 a.

M.

At 23 Capricorn 13 minutes.

And of course,

Since it's the new moon,

The sun is also at the same degree.

So what is emerging for you this month?

What are you open to for the upcoming cycle?

What is entering your awareness and what does your intuition bring to you?

Some of the keywords for Capricorn are realistic,

Responsible,

Practical,

Goal oriented,

Successful,

Ambitious,

Professional,

Manifesting and disciplined.

So you can choose from those Capricorn keywords for your own journaling sentence.

Perhaps something like,

I emerge with successful and ambitious manifestation this month.

If you'd like to use your own natal chart,

Look for the 23 degrees of Capricorn in your natal chart and identify the house placement of that degree.

So for instance,

Let's say if 23 degrees of Capricorn lands in my first house,

I might add a noun such as my appearance or my projected image,

My soul purpose or my initial approach to life and my interests to add to my Capricorn sentence for what is emerging.

A journal entry may sound something like,

I emerge with successful and professional projected self image.

Moving to the crescent phase,

Which is January 16,

2021 at 2029 PM universal time,

The moon is at 11 degrees Pisces 56 minutes and the sun is at 26 Capricorn 56 minutes.

So that's a 45 degree angle between the sun and the moon.

The crescent moon phase is about a challenge or a promise that we make to ourselves.

What will I overcome that is worth letting go of?

What are my resources?

How can I prepare?

What change am I resisting?

Keywords for the moon in Pisces are spiritual,

Empathic,

Visionary,

Sensitive,

Psychic,

Vulnerable,

Intuitive,

Self sacrificing,

Indulgent,

Loving and artistic.

So you might find that the moon has moved a couple of houses or perhaps into the next house.

So let's pretend that it goes into the third house.

You might use some nouns such as my adaptability,

My communications,

My siblings,

My neighborhood,

Short journeys,

My curiosity,

And my thinking or search for knowledge.

So a sentence might be,

I challenge myself to a spiritual and artistic search for knowledge.

Moving to the first quarter,

It's January 20th,

2021 at 2101 PM universal time.

The moon degree is one degree Taurus one minute and the sun has now moved into the sign of Aquarius at one degree Aquarius 01.

So it's a 90 degree angle at this point around the zodiac.

The first quarter is about taking action.

What steps will I take toward accomplishing my goals?

How do I move forward in the next few days or long term?

It's an action outlook.

Our keywords for Taurus are sensual,

Physical,

Reliable,

Consistent,

Resourceful,

Deliberate,

Practical,

Financial,

Comfortable,

And valued.

And some keywords for Aquarius,

If you'd like to add that is humanitarian or collective,

Innovative,

Progressive,

Detached,

Friendly,

Generous,

Gregarious,

And unpredictable.

So let's say if we're using our chart by this time,

The moon may have gone into Taurus possibly in the fourth or fifth house.

So let's say we look at the fifth house.

For you it might be any other house.

This is just an example of how to start using your houses.

So the fifth house,

It's about my abilities,

My creative abilities,

Children,

Pleasures,

Willpower,

Romance,

Merrymaking,

Even a vacation,

My sense of affection and confidence.

So a sentence might be something like I take action on a comfortable sense of merrymaking.

The next phase is the Gibbous phase.

It's January 24 2021 at 2353pm Universal Time.

The moon degree is 20 degrees Gemini 13.

And the sun is now at five degrees Aquarius 13.

So the Gibbous phase is about developing structure.

Some prompts for the Gibbous moon phase are how do I stay on track?

What do I need to do to stay organized?

And what do I need to compromise?

This is a maintenance outlook.

Our phrase might start with I develop structure with or through.

And the keywords for Gemini are clever,

Versatile,

Agile,

Curious,

Articulate,

Alert,

Conversational,

Adaptable,

Lighthearted,

Happy,

Quick witted and cheerful.

So let's say for our example moving through the houses,

That degree of 2013 Gemini,

Let's say it goes into the person's sixth house.

So it might be about work conditions,

Or their pets,

Or health services offered trainings,

Work skill,

Workplace,

Different kinds of hygiene,

Nutrition and diet.

So our sentence might read something like I develop structure through conversational and lighthearted working conditions.

The next phase is our full moon.

The full moon is January 28,

2021 at 19.

16 pm universal time.

The degree of the moon is nine degrees Leo and five minutes.

And the sun is exactly opposite at nine degrees Aquarius 05.

So we reflect fulfillment at the full moon.

Some prompts for the full moon phase are how do I see myself functioning in my world?

What does it look like within me and in my day to day life?

It's a reflective outlook.

And the Leo keywords are self confident,

Dignified,

Generous,

Playful,

Dramatic,

Courageous,

Caring,

Radiant,

Romantic,

Loving,

Self centered and focused,

And strong hearted and brave.

So let's say if the house is now at nine degrees Leo,

Perhaps in the person's seventh house.

So we might have to focus on partnerships,

Relationships,

Our ability to receive love and our social skills.

We also might have contracts that we're dealing with.

So a sentence for our journal for the full moon on January 28 might read something like I reflect fulfillment with self confidence in my social skills.

The disseminating moon phase is on February 21 2021 at 7.

25am Universal Time.

The moon is at 27 Virgo 39.

And the sun is at 12 Aquarius 39.

For the disseminating moon phase,

We're thinking about sharing.

What can I share?

How can I share my experiences?

Where can I help others with my learning and my own experience?

Some keywords for Virgo are analytical,

Organized,

Efficient,

Health conscious,

Exacting,

Technical,

Healing,

Problem solving,

Scientific and time efficient.

So let's say for an example,

Perhaps the moon falls now in the example of the ninth house.

So the ninth house keywords are wisdom,

Justice,

Law,

Exploration,

Faith,

Religious and spiritual pursuits,

Higher education,

Foreign travel,

Legal action,

And seeking of the truth.

A journal entry for this Virgo moon disseminating phase might be I share my organized and efficient health conscious truth seeking.

The last quarter moon phase starts on February 4 2021 1736 Universal Time.

The moon is at 16 Scorpio 07.

And the sun is at 16 Aquarius 07.

Some prompts for the last quarter moon phase are how do I change or let go of the patterns that do not serve me or my community.

It's a reorienting outlook.

Some keywords for the sign of Scorpio are transformational,

Mysterious,

Sexual,

Erotic,

Secretive,

Musical,

Renewing,

Trustworthy,

Loyal,

And supportive.

What do we change our perspectives on?

If we think about using the house system,

Perhaps it would fall in the 10th or 11th house in our example.

So let's say it falls into the 10th house.

The 10th house is about accomplishments,

Authority,

Recognition,

Success,

Our reputation,

Our professional affairs,

Self fulfillment,

And our public life.

So a sentence might be,

I change perspective on my transformational self fulfillment.

The next and last phase,

The balsamic phase begins on February 8 at 454 Universal Time.

The degree of the moon is four degrees Capricorn 38.

And the sun is at 19 Aquarius 38.

The balsamic phase is about how do I resolve things or release things and plan for the future?

How do I resolve the past month and visualize plan for an upcoming process?

It's a pre-contemplative outlook.

The seed is planted,

Released to develop the next cycle and germination begins.

So some keywords again for Capricorn are discipline,

Realistic,

Responsible,

Practical,

Goal oriented,

Materialistic,

Successful,

Ambitious,

Professional,

And manifesting.

So if we were in the 10th house for the last quarter moon,

We may be in the 11th or 12th for the example of the house system for our balsamic phase.

So let's look at the 11th house.

It's about groups and clubs,

Groups of friends,

Political awareness,

Progressive thought,

New technology and inventions,

As well as astrology.

So a journal entry,

If the balsamic moon at four degrees Capricorn 38 fell into a person's 11th house,

I plan for realistic and responsible interactions with my various groups of friends.

Well,

That's our moon journaling for the moon cycle of Capricorn 2021.

And good luck with your journaling.

And I hope to see you for the new moon in Aquarius,

February 11th.
