Hello and welcome beautiful souls.
Today we're going to be journaling with the new moon in Capricorn.
There's a lot of good in the first new moon of the year and we're using Yasmin Bolin's Moonology to get a little more insight.
And she has this to share.
We always set our intentions at the new moon,
So even if you've already made New Year's resolutions,
This new moon is like a second chance.
And if you've made resolutions but have slipped up a little,
This is the perfect time to get back on board with your intentions.
So think about what you want for yourself in the next coming 12 months.
Do you need to restart when it comes to matters of your heart or your bank account?
Now's a good time to get clear on what you want,
Gaining clarity around your desires and needs lays the foundation for manifesting them into reality.
And as most of you know,
I'm a huge believer in manifesting.
I'm also a huge fan of new moons because a lot of the amazing things that have happened in my life have occurred right after journaling with the new moon.
So this is one of my favorite topics for certain.
And Yasmin shares that this new moon is powerful because it's making a harmonious angle to both Venus and Neptune.
Venus is the planet of romance and riches,
Which makes this the perfect new moon to set intentions around love or money.
Another interesting point,
The harmonious angle to Neptune is also super helpful because it allows us to dream.
And as we all know,
Dreams really can come true.
I'm a huge example of that,
By the way.
I often share during my live events how dreaming and scripting and writing things in my journals have led to some really amazing things in my life.
So I will encourage you always to continue dreaming.
And remember,
The new moon brings us into this quiet space,
A blank slate,
A reset point,
No pressure,
No forcing,
No urgency,
Just a moment to listen inward.
So close your eyes if that feels comfortable.
Breathe in gently.
With each exhale,
Allow the noise of the day to drift a little further away.
The new moon invites us into possibility,
Not with insensitivity,
But with curiosity.
This is a time for planting seeds,
Even small ones.
This is a moment to ask yourself,
What do I want to grow next?
Let that question float in your mind.
You don't need to answer it right away.
Just think about it.
Ask yourself gently,
What am I ready to begin?
How do I want to feel this month?
What energy do I want to embody?
What would most support me right now?
And I love to refer to Yasmeen's questions because these prompts have helped me tremendously.
So the first one,
My current biggest,
Most audacious goal,
Wish,
Or intention?
And you're going to fill in that blank.
And because I love using Oracle cards as well,
I pulled out her deck,
Moonology,
Messages,
Oracle,
Pulled us a random card,
And I got the Yang Moon,
Strength.
This card calls for you to draw upon your inner resources.
It's time for you to step into your power.
If someone or something has been making you feel less than,
Consider the possibility that this is actually a sole challenge to you from the universe,
Designed to urge you to believe in yourself more.
It's your time to shine.
You have everything you need to achieve your goals,
But you need to show the universe your resilience and your strength.
Now is the time for you to move out from the shadows and into the light.
There is nothing to be gained from cowering in the shadows at this time.
False humility won't get you anywhere.
Don't sell yourself short,
And don't even try to convince yourself that you don't have what it takes.
You really do.
The first step now is to think about all those times in your past when you got through big challenges.
Doing that made you the person you are today,
And you have all the resources you need to keep it going.
Some additional meanings for this card.
Don't be a wallflower.
Go first.
Transformation is possible now.
Be bold.
Make the first move.
And about the symbol.
The yang in this card can be seen to represent the masculine energies in all of us,
Versus the yin,
Which represents feminine energies.
And again,
The card is yang,
Moon,
Strength.
So this card definitely speaks to my soul.
My word for this year is shine.
And everything about this card is telling us to shine,
To stand in our power,
To stop cowering,
To stop playing the wallflower,
Something I did for a long time.
So my friends,
I have a lot to journal about.
I'm hoping you're going to be journaling a lot of good stuff with me.
Let's put a few minutes on the clock.
Let's listen to Blossom Violet's beautiful piano music,
And let's do some journaling.
All right,
My friends,
I can't wait to hear what you journaled about,
What your new moon intentions are about.
And also,
I'd love to hear later,
As time goes on,
How many of these things you've seen come true.
Because as I said before,
For myself,
New moon journaling has always been the most powerful for me.
And I'd love to know if it works the same way for you.
All right,
My friends,
Until next time,
I hope you continue to shine like the beautiful diamond that you are.
And I look forward to speaking with you again soon.
Next month,
We'll be working with our full moon again.
And if you're looking for a little more inspiration in the meantime,
Please enjoy some of the journaling and scripting tracks that I have made available here.
All right,
My friends,
Until next time,
May this new moon bring clarity,
Peace,
And gentle beginnings.
Thank you for journaling with me.
