Hi love,
So I've been watching people try to hold it together while the world around them clearly shifts, and there's this collective pretending that if we just keep going through the motions, things will somehow go back to normal. Like we're all sitting in a room where the walls are cracking and instead of talking about it, we're just rearranging the furniture.
We're holding on to something and that something is crumbling and we all feel it. This New Moon in Capricorn on January 18th is planting a seed toward whatever comes next. Not what we wish would come next. What actually comes next.
The 4 of Pentacles
This lunation lands at 28 degrees of Capricorn, the 4 of Pentacles in tarot. That image of someone clutching coins to their chest, white knuckling, and you can see in the card that they're not actually safe, they just think they are. They're frozen while the world moves around them.
That's what I'm seeing everywhere. People fantasizing about getting back to normal like we did in 2020, daydreaming about brunch and returning to whatever was before. But the grip, the resistance to actually being in the moment and doing something, that grip causes more damage than just accepting where we are.
The stakes are higher now. The window is narrower.
We've got Sun, Mercury, and Mars all in Capricorn emphasizing the seriousness of this moment, Venus and Pluto in Aquarius excavating system rot, asking us to break free. But we can't do that by anxiously holding on to echoes of an imperialist past.
What beast are you feeding? Where is your attention going? What are you supporting with your choices, your time, your energy?
The Support Available
Here's what's interesting: this lunation is sextiling both Neptune and Saturn in Pisces. Saturn and Neptune together is the dream with the blueprint. The vision with the discipline to actually build it. Without the dream we have no reason to keep going, but without the discipline the dream just floats into spiritual bypass while the house burns down.
Uranus in Taurus is trining this New Moon. Your body waking up and going "something is wrong here, something is not sustainable here, pay attention." Let that shock be fuel.
What to Actually Do
Get honest about where you stand and what you're supporting. Understand this will take time (the programming runs deep). Find your people who aren't performing normalcy. Listen to your body. Hold the vision and do the work, even one small thing.
I'm figuring this out same as you, some days clear and focused, other days overwhelmed. This isn't about being perfect but rather staying conscious during these weird times.
What This New Moon Asks
This New Moon is asking: what are you willing to build? It's asking you to be conscious. To recognize the moment we're in and make choices from that recognition instead of from the fantasy that things can go back to how they were.
They can't. That world is gone. The security is crumbling.
And underneath the grief and fear, there's possibility. The chance to build something that actually works. The chance to align with our actual values.
We want a better world. But do we really, really want it, or do we just want it to come easy?
I'll see you in it.
