A Moon of Initiation
The Final New Moon of 2022 will be in Capricorn - the sign of initiation. Capricorn is an energy that constricts. This can manifest as taking on more responsibility than you need to, feeling weighed down by the expectations of yourself (+ others) and finally it can manifest externally as a feeling of not being able to move or find a way out. In a way Capricorn is like a beautiful Boa Constrictor, it slowly winds itself around you until you get to the point where you feel you have no way out. The more you struggle, the tighter it winds. As such this is a New Moon to unclench your hands, to release your grip and to allow yourself to relax - even in the midst of what can feel like overwhelming chaos. This is a New Moon to return to the self, and realise that the constriction you are feeling is actually not something external but rather something you have created for yourself.
It's time to surrender and accept
This will be a Super New Moon - meaning it's energy is even more potent as it will have a bigger influence on the earth. It will bring with it big 'king' tides, and as you are also made of water this can manifest as deep emotion rising to the surface. Things that have been kept repressed from years, decades and even for a lifetime. This is a New Moon which is calling for you to lay new intentions around where you are ready to surrender further into life, what you are ready to let go of, and where you know you need to embrace destruction in order for new creation to take place. Just like a high tide sweeps away a beach, this New Moon is here to take from you what you can no longer hold. You know the stuff that is just too heavy. It's a Moon to be held, to surrender and to accept. To practice being like water. There's a beautiful quote in the Tao Ti Ching which sums this up:
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Get conscious of where you are complicit
Capricorn, in its unhealed form, represents the energy of the patriarchy or industrial military complex we are living within. Whether we want to admit it or not we are all complicit in this system, and at a divine level it is here to help us awaken. It is the form that the goddess Maya has taken in this time. It brings with it subjugation, hierarchy and an unfair distribution of resources. This is slowly changing (in a greater scale of time than just this New Moon). This is a New Moon (and coming 6 months) to get conscious of where discrimination still lives within you, where you judge as a means to create power, and even where you still crave status. It is by getting consciousness of this polarity of power you will come to know greater equality within you.
It's time for proactive action
The Capricorn New Moon will be aligned with the goddess asteroid Hygiea, and opposed Hekate. This suggests that there is a deeper need within all of us to rediscover the feminine. To not get so obsessed with order, that we stagnate and oppress ourselves + others. The feminine and masculine are designed to be in balance with one another. They represent the play of Cosmos (order) and Chaos. This New Moon is calling for you to take proactive action in your life, to move ahead of time and let go of the places where you control, order and even fear change. There's the sense you're being led to a crossroads in your life, and this New Moon is encouraging you to take the necessary steps in order to embrace greater surrender in how you show up...and even as a new path in life.
Let's go straight to the Root of the matter
This New Moon will be in Mula Nakshatra, which is an energy associated with endings and the beautiful period of time before something new begins. This is a place we might associate with the void, and it can manifest as a feeling of fear on behalf of the ego for it questions its existence when it's forced into this place. This is an energy that is calling for you to get to root of what has been happening within your life - particularly when it comes to the places you crave control. It's time to hold a magnifying glass up to this and see where this need comes from. It might not be something you can understand straight away but it will come to light over the next 6 months that this Moon Cycle is at play. the goddess Maha Kali is the ruler of this Lunar Mansion, and she calls for destruction and for awakening to your nature. If you notice things getting too intense or you're unsure of how to unburden yourself visualise giving it over to her.
