Building Structures.
The New Moon in Capricorn falls at 12º on January 2nd at 1:33 PM ET. As we enter this new year, we are given a fresh lunar cycle—one where we are called to reform and restructure. The New Moon in Capricorn grounds us as we embark on a journey toward growth. It supports, creating foundations and structures where there once was none. Standing like a mountain in the middle of the ocean, it is a shelter to keep us from drowning in the icy sea of Winter. This New Moon is concerned with where we lay our roots and set ourselves up, acting like a space of protection as we find our way. Here, we start to build toward something bigger than ourselves.
However, when we carve out our space on this mountain, do we lock ourselves in? When does a structure become too rigid, too restrictive? Saturn is the leader of this New Moon, where it redefines, restructures, and rebuilds all that has come into focus over the last year. We know that path isn’t always easy, but with hard work comes reward—every time. Saturn isn’t just the ruler of obstacles, but also where we reach the pinnacle of success. We have ascended up the mountain, made it to the top, but now we have a different perspective of life atop the peak. To rest peacefully on top of that mountain, we must be willing to let some things go. Saturn is gifted support from Mars, backing our ambitions with motivation. This is about calculated action and intentional movement—a reminder that even in the face of hardship we are immovable, unshakeable, everlasting.
This New Moon comes with a trine to Uranus, where innovation and releasing the shackles of old narratives light the way. We must understand the story of the Devil in Tarot, where excess and extreme scarcity leave us in the dark. We have to bring it back to a balance. Uranus is the Fool, pushing us to leap into new possibilities. This energy is backed by Mercury’s ingress into Aquarius, where we don’t just hope to embody this idea, we actually believe it to be our only way. Yet, in our moments of staring over the ledge, we are told to also seek support—especially as Mercury in Aquarius has our mind focused on collaboration. We are not alone as we free-fall into the unknown. Uranus will ensure we are rewarded through our willingness to have faith and take a chance on ourselves.
Venus plays an interesting role here, still retrograde from December, as it sits close to Pluto (also in Capricorn) and holds Neptune close in a harmonious sextile. It is from self-reflection and our ability to transform our inner world that we actually learn to ground our dreams into reality. All of this works together to support that Uranus trine to the New Moon, but it won’t come without a confrontation of the shadow.
Forgiveness and compassion lead the way toward greater self-acceptance. It is from here we can truly enjoy the fruits of our labor and sit in our success. The New Moon sets the tone for the year to come, so how will you work with this energy? This is a pathway built with long-term potential. Nothing is impossible–– when we have faith.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 8º to 16º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
NOTE: Since this New Moon falls near the calendar New Year, I have included Journal Prompts for each sign! Enjoy!

We begin the New Year with a New Moon, a phase focused on fresh starts and renewal. New Moons are when we plant seeds and open doors for new opportunities, perhaps even revisiting our previous goals in new ways. This New Moon is one that keeps us focused, grounded and not without a little excitement (thanks to Uranus).
The New Moon falls in your 10th House, focused on your career, life direction and your goals toward your personal idea of success. You may want to take a hard look at your life direction and career and decide if it aligns with you and where you want to go. You could seek out new jobs, promotions, change your line of work or even solidify your space in your career. There is a sense that you are being noticed now, too. The 10th House is a public house, one where your image is important. Authority figures and prominent people are watching you and paying attention to what you are doing.
Luckily, both the Sun and Moon are trine Uranus in your 2nd House. This suggests that there could be a little extra something financial coming your way. All of your hard work isn’t unappreciated. If you are out of work, you may find that you are putting out resumes, having interviews or even considering other avenues for your own personal next steps. Either way it does seem that money is there, and perhaps unexpectedly so.
Interestingly, Venus is still retrograde in the 10th House of your chart — and it will be for a few more weeks. You are really combing through what is important to you in your work and your career. Maybe old bosses, coworkers and important work relationships seem to bubble up at this time. You may have to renegotiate a few contracts or really take a hard look at how you are being valued in what you do and provide. Mercury moves into Aquarius the same day as this New Moon, and it brings the network with it. So, you have the right people on your side to support, if you just ask.
Use this New Moon to help you make the appropriate moves in your career or life direction. Pay attention to pathways that open up in front of you, and reconnect with people from your industry. Seek help for any pending projects or issues from professionals. Rethink what you want out of your long-term goals and make commitments to starting the process.
Journal prompts:

A New Year and a new phase of the Moon. We start this year with a fresh cycle where we start to consider that we deserve something different. The space where you allow yourself to grow is the one that takes flight, especially as this New Moon falls in a fellow Earth Sign.
The lunation peaks in your 9th House, where you are asked to reach far beyond and stretch toward new horizons. This is a time of learning, understanding and making time for your own potential growth. This, in part, requires you to take a few more risks. You could be taking on a new course of study, itching to travel, getting in touch with what inspires you, or simply just adjusting your mindset. This is a call to change your perspective a bit, too.
Uranus, sitting in your sign, trines the Sun and Moon suggesting that you may surprise other people with the growth you’re looking to undergo or with the new pieces of yourself that you are learning to embrace. Add a dash of spontaneity in your life and truly give yourself space to roam free.
Venus, your ruler, is still retrograde — sitting in that 9th House. This is perfect timing for this New Moon, as it feels like a bit of a turning point. You could be coming to terms with some of the things you are personally confronting. There are a lot of internal philosophical moments that you may be having, where you are almost forced to reflect on how far you have come and what steps in your journey still lie ahead. Venus asks for you to shed those old beliefs. Mercury moves into your 10th House, where space for fresh perspectives actually come from work and your life direction. Maybe the pondering you are doing is related to the work you do and where you see yourself in the next few years. This would be an ideal time to take to contacts in your industry and hold those important meetings. People are listening to you.
Use this New Moon to reignite the flame. Get inspired and reflect on all the wisdom you have gained in life. Practically apply knowledge from your past into the present moment, and allow your dreams to take flight. Growth is inevitable — so move with it, not against it.

A New Moon falls at the start of the year, and we are asked to consider new areas of growth or change. This is a new cycle for the Moon, but in some ways, also a new cycle for ourselves, as well. This is a time where we can begin to embrace what will be and what has come to a close.
I would say the word “cycle” is important to you, especially as this New Moon sits in your 8th House. The 8th House rules intimacy, cycles, magick, shared resources, death/beginnings, and the shadows. You are descending into the shadow, and you are asked to confront what lies beneath the surface. Resilience is key as you walk through fire and ice to get to the core of what keeps you in your holding patterns. Like a Phoenix, you can rise again, burning brighter, faster, and hotter than ever before — but it may require a personal confrontation to your own limitations first.
Luckily, Uranus supports the Sun and Moon from your 12th House, and there is a feeling of closure from the depths. You are seeking space for quiet, isolation and solitude. Maybe it is the post holiday slump, but you are finding yourself wanting refuge. There is a call to close doors and make peace, and Uranus will gift you handsomely for this. It isn’t always easy, but it is necessary.
Venus retrogrades in your 8th House and Mercury shifts to your 9th House. Venus has old lovers, partners and those you have been intimate with show up for you — or maybe your mind is just on those you have been connected with before. You seem to be making amends. Venus reminds you of your value and your worth as you have exited those old relationships and builds up new confidence for the current ones you have and the new ones you will forge. Mercury’s placement in Aquarius now also allows your mind to grow and move on. You are seeking different opportunities. If money has been tied up at all with courts, creditors or really with anything, expect to see that start to shift at the month’s end or at the start of February.
Use this New Moon to do some shadow work and confront your fears. Open yourself up to the changes in life without controlling outcomes. Focus on reconnecting with parts of yourself that you thought you had lost. Reclaim your power and call back your magick. Resilience goes a long way.

You are craving more balance right now. This is no secret. The New Year starts with a fresh lunar cycle that prompts you to seek harmony and find the peace in everyday life — especially in your relationships. Boundaries are more important than ever.
The New Moon falls in your 7th House. This is place of relationships and partnerships (romantic, platonic, business, etc). Here, we find ourselves in a space where we want and need to understand ourselves and others. There is a balance and a reciprocity here. Some of you may get engaged, married or take a relationship to a new level — commitment is the name of the game. Others may commit more to themselves and even walk away from more harmful or outdated relationships that stand in the way of personal success. Whatever it is, you seem to be making a strong pact — whether with you or someone you care about.
Uranus surprises you from the 11th House. It seems that you are in demand. People want to stay connected with you, talk to you, see you even. It feels like you are getting support from all over. Your networks are strong and you may have exciting news or surprises crop up around this New Moon. If you are single, Uranus could even bring an unexpected potential partner. If you are attached, do something spontaneous with them and try to get out and go on a little local adventure.
Venus is retrograde in the 7th House, so there are old hang-ups around relationships that do need to be confronted. Boundaries may be tested, issues with personal value may show up, but overall, this is a time for reviewing your place in the relationships you uphold. If you are feeling like you are not getting your share, now is the time to make those changes. Remember, this doesn’t have to be romantic — keep your eyes on all the other relationships you have, too. Mercury is now in your 8th House, having your mind dig deep to uncover any inhibitions or fears you may have around attachment or old patterns that need to be broken. Don’t be afraid to have those powerful conversations. The only way someone will truly know how you feel is if you actually let them know.
Use this New Moon to focus on your relationships, whether with yourself or others. Try to make connections that feel inspiring and exciting. Recommit to someone or something and restore a balance in your life. Re-engage with people from the past and rework a long term goal! You may have to be a little more patience than normal to see any of your intentions or actions develop from this lunation.

More than most signs, you may be more focused on your health, work or daily life walking into this New Year. This is no surprise, especially as we start the year with a new lunar cycle. This lunation is about long term goals and ways to commit to things that may impact your routines.
The New Moon in Capricorn highlights your 6th House of work, service, health, and everyday life. You could be looking to start a new routine, exercise regime, or even a new job. You may making changes to any of these areas of your life. Some of you may need to be more healthy, while others are finding new work routines and environments to start the year out right. You could also be welcoming a door closing in these areas, as well. The 6th house is about resolution, and it seems that is where you mind is at — even if you aren’t fully ready to commit to anything yet. You are better suited to make bigger commitments in February or March (after the Venus and Mercury retrogrades).
Uranus is VERY helpful at this lunation, working with the Sun and Moon from your 10th House of career. It isn’t so much that you may be changing your work environment, but also completing shifting your path in your career or life overall in some way. Uranus speaks to surprises in work front and with prestigious people. There are new opportunities unfolding, similar to a Fool’s leap into unknown territory. This frees up a lot of your personal time, and it restores a better sense of work/life balance (something you have been missing lately).
Venus has been retrograde in this area of your chart, so there is definitely a call to focus on what you value most in the work that you do. Venus will have your eyes on your health and how you care for you body in general, as well. This is a great time to focus on some more self-love and make amends with parts of you that you may have long tried to ignore. Venus eases up any rigidity, and it welcomes you to reimagine your routines. Mercury, now in your 7th House, spends some time helping this narrative through the idea of balance. Perhaps there are important relationships that need to be rectified or reconnected. Mercury has you more willing to share and create important dialogue.
Use this New Moon to make changes to your diet, exercise regime, and your routines. Maybe go back to a practice that you have not engaged with in a while. You could be reworking projects or paperwork at work, or simply rehashing old issues that arise — finally bringing things to close (projects as well). If you have had talks of a promotion or growth in your career, those will come back around now, too. Try not to control outcomes right now. Let it unfold and wait until the end of the month (or better in February) to make any major decisions— after Venus and Mercury are all in direct motion.

You start the year perhaps with a bit of creative flair or seeking to have a bit more fun than usual. The New Year brings a New Moon with it, where you are told that pleasure is important. Finding joy in the small things is more impertinent that it has been in a long time. This is just the start of some longterm projects, conceptions or ideas that you may have brewing.
The New Moon falls in your 5th House, which rules creativity, conception, happiness, and children. If you have been considering conceiving (an idea, a child, art, etc), then this New Moon will be for you. Even if children aren’t on the mind, I would consider that this is a good time to try new things. The 5th House is about joy, sport, fun and pleasure. Getting out and doing whatever it is that makes your heart sing. This is also an excellent New Moon to meet new people — romantically and otherwise. It sort of puts you center stage in a way that you haven’t been in a while. Are you willing to take up a little more space? Stand out more?
Uranus is very helpful at this lunation, in trine to the Sun and Moon (all in fellow Earth signs). This creates surprising circumstances — perhaps more you surprising yourself than anything else. Uranus is sitting in your 9th House, giving you some gusto on proving to yourself that you are worthy enough to take risks on. You know that you have some exciting opportunities that lie ahead, and it seems that part of that is giving yourself more credit and having more faith in the journey before you. The more you are willing to let go and leap, the better off you will be.
Venus is retrograde in your 5th house, where this New Moon will fall. Here, we see some questions come up around how you love yourself, how you show and receive love and how you are willing to give yourself space to shine a bit more. There are moments where you are asked to allow the self-doubt to subside but also get to the root of the relationship you have with yourself — perhaps making peace with any inner critic and self-deprecating dialogue. You know you have too much to offer to keep putting yourself down or allowing others to put you down either. Mercury, now in your 6th House, helps to keep your mind organized and willing to see the changes that lie ahead. You could be a bit more health-focused or diligent about the ongoing pandemic now, trying to maintain a better balance. Additionally, Mercury’s entrance into this area of your chart can make your work life a bit more busy and may have you caring for others — especially when it comes to health matters.
Use this New Moon to get back in touch with what you love. Focus on play, rest, and creating. Re-explore old hobbies and games. Make space for what makes you happy. Talk to your inner child and give love to the actual kids in your life, too. Remember that you keep the fire in your heart going. Even in the darkest moments, it can be a source of warmth and inspiration.

The start of the New Year has you a bit more nostalgic or focused on family. Maybe it is about gathering with those you love or just staying close to home. You are requiring a bit more rest or quiet, too. The New Year brings a New Moon, and there is also a call for new and personal traditions.
The New Moon in Capricorn turns your face toward your inner world, your emotional foundations, and your home/family. Especially as it sits in your 4th House, the area of roots. You may be looking to move, buy, sell, or rent. You could be redecorating or just making your house more of a home. Alternatively, you may be more active with family matters or looking to have a quiet entrance into the year after a busier holiday season. If you are doing anything home-related and the process is a bit slower, know that it will see a turn of events toward the end of the month as your ruler, Venus, stations direct motion.
Happily, Uranus trines the Sun and Moon at this New Moon, so there is a bit of excitement or unexpected news coming your way. You may receive a sum of money that is owed to you or a gift around this time that helps to create a better sense of security as you lay down new traditions or foundations. This is because Uranus is sitting in your 8th House. Keep in mind, if the money isn’t for you, it may be given to your partner — as this House also rules shared resources. Uranus is also seeking to bring you and someone closer together, and you may be surprised by the spontaneity that ensues as you open up a bit more emotionally. Know that this requires you to be real and honest with that person, however, and not just telling them what they want to hear.
Venus, your ruler, is retrograde in this 4th House. As I mentioned, some things may be under review or delayed around the home or with family. Perhaps you are reconnecting to old family members, having to go through mortgage approvals or even deal with financing for a remodel. Venus is holding money up, but know that it is on its way. Part of the process is making sure that you remain committed to whatever you are creating or building for your future. Mercury, now in Aquarius, sits in your 5th House. Your mind a bit more on the fun side to life and welcoming opportunities where you can create. There is a dreamy edge to this. Indulge a bit and allow yourself to wander — finding pleasure in the present. It will be a nice escape for you. If you are trying to conceive, kids will be top of mind — but February may be a better month.
Use this New Moon to focus on your home. Look for property. Put your home on the market. Move. Redecorate. Change your space. But with Venus’s influence, you may be going back to fix or change what you have already started. Family will figure strongly, as will your emotional foundations. Take care of your heart and spend time withdrawing. Answers come more clearly toward the end of the month.

Take time at the start of the year to be more intentional than you normally would be. This year begins with a New Moon that requires focus, diligence and stability since it falls in Capricorn. This is the start of a newer cycle but an end to an old one, as well.
This year has taught you so much — there is no question about that. As we enter this New Moon phase, you are now asked to apply what you have learned and find solutions to problems that have been pending. The New Moon falls in your 3rd House, highlighting communication, short distance travel, siblings, and your thoughts/ideas. Your words hold true power now. People are listening, but in all reality, you should be listening too. This is a time of gathering information and learning through your interactions with others. Consider that some of what comes up at this New Moon may be leftover conversations, ideas, and interactions from before.
Uranus trines this New Moon, luckily, from your 7th House. The most important conversations you will have will be one on one and with close relationships in your life. It no shock that any news you receive around this New Moon will be somewhat unexpected. You may find that a partnership, close friend or family member may surprise you (mostly in a good way) with what they say or tell you. This will spur you becoming closer to them. Uranus also asks for you to find new ways of communicating to those you love and being more spontaneous with other people. Old ideas or outdated mentalities need to be let go.
Venus will retrograde in the same house as this New Moon. Here, you will find yourself combing through past interactions you have had with others. You may be asked to repair relationships that are rocky and establish better foundations with ones that are important to you. Venus will ask you if you are really listening — to others, yourself and everything around you. You may not be hearing what you need to hear. Keep your eyes and ears open. Mercury, the planet of communication, will now be in your 4th house, where your mind will travel more with family and your roots. Expect to go through old memories and maybe reconnect with family in a new way. Alternatively, you could be making a personal amends with your own past.You are transforming from the inside out.
Use this New Moon to stop and listen. Interact with those close to you, and engage in deeper conversations. See others as a source of inspiration and open up a dialogue, even if it feels hard to have. Use your words as balm for you and others.

A New Moon falls at the start of the year, and we are asked to consider new areas of growth or change. This is a new cycle for the Moon, but in some ways, also a new cycle for ourselves, as well. You may be tasked with find more personal security and keeping yourself more grounded.
This lunation falls in your 2nd House, which rules material resources, self-worth, value, income, and morality. You could be seeking or finding new sources of income around this New Moon, or even just making changes to your financial picture in general. There is a call to focus on where you find security in your life and reimagining it a little more. Your self-worth does come into play here, as you may need to be creative and flexible in learning to see yourself in a new light. When was the last time you truly had pride in what you do and talked yourself up? Take a moment to really see how much more stable you are now than you have been in the last few years.
Uranus is very helpful from your 6th House to this New Moon. It brings up exciting changes to your routine and your work life. If you get a promotion or a new job, maybe it comes with more flexibility or just different responsibilities that give you more room for growth and change. Uranus wants you to free yourself from old habits, regimens and mentalities around work that don’t serve you. Alternatively, some of you may have an “a-ha” moment around your health or boundaries too. If something has gone un diagnosed or accounted for in some way, Uranus will help you now. Be good to your body right now. It will thank you.
Venus will be retrograde in your 2nd House, where the New Moon will fall. This will have you dealing with impostor syndrome. You may be unable to see how you are valuable to your work or those around you. This does you a disservice, as your talents are needed. Some of you may end up reconnecting with old co-workers or jobs. Additionally, you could be combing through your resources, transactions and finances. Venus will have you less likely to spend and ask you to save more, as this time of year sees funds are more tight. Mercury will be sitting in your 3rd House at this lunation, as well. So, you could be signing a contract (pay attention to the financial part and read through it carefully) or really just looking to talk with people. Mercury’s placement in this area is giving you an extra edge in communication and dialogue that you may not have had otherwise.
Use this New Moon to find a new source of income. You may hear back from an old employer or a place that you interviewed with previously. Old co-workers may come back around and unresolved issues with self-worth will be more prevalent. Work on establishing your value and redefining what security and success truly look like to you. Find comfort in where you are, who you are and what you have in the present moment.

We begin the New Year with a New Moon, a phase focused on fresh starts and renewal. New Moons are when we plant seeds and open doors for new opportunities, perhaps even revisiting our previous goals in new ways. This New Moon is one that keeps us focused, grounded but not without a little excitement (thanks to Uranus).
There is a spotlight on you, and you are coming into your own. The New Moon opens a doorway for you — perhaps even a few doorways. You may be caught in figuring out which direction is the “right” direction. The Sun and Moon align in your 1st House to re-inspire you and bring back lost motivation. The ask here is that you do what actually FEELS right. You can begin again and set yourself up for future success, but this may require a little introspection first, especially as Venus retrogrades in your sign. This is time to welcome more autonomy, seek out personal motivations and establish goals that you want to achieve this year.
Uranus trines the Sun and Moon in your sign. It adds a sense of excitement from your 5th House, reminding you how important it is to embrace what makes you happy. There seems to be some celebration — whether it is the holidays, a birthday or maybe just a sense of enjoyment. Some of you may find out about an unexpected conception, a new project, meet a new person of interest or even just feel creatively charged! Whatever it is, Uranus wants you to have fun and really just lean into anything that brings pleasure and adventure in your life.
Venus retrogrades in your sign, as I mentioned. Here it has you going through what you personal value and what you believe in. You may be questioning your own motivations and sense of identity. Venus is reminding you that a little self-love goes a long way. It is a time to re-establish a better relationship with yourself entirely. Mercury, now touring your 2nd House, reinforces a lot of this and also attracts situations of comfort. Mercury has your mind going through your finances or your resources, and you could make some changes in this area in the coming month.
Use this New Moon to dive into a world of possibility. Reconnect with your happiness and motivations. What fuels you? What gives you life? Work on re-engaging with your needs and setting your boundaries. Life is about living, and you are being reminded how important that can be.

A New Year and a new phase of the Moon. We start this year with a fresh cycle where we start to consider that we deserve something different. The space where you allow yourself to grow is the one that takes flight, but part of this requires release and closing doors for you.
The transits as of late have you withdrawing a bit more than normal, especially as your 12th House is being activated. You are working through emotions, feelings, thoughts, and connections behind the scenes. Distilling is a word that comes to mind. This New Moon in Capricorn will bring this to the forefront more than it has been the last few weeks. You seem to be finishing up a project, putting a past issue to rest, and preparing yourself to move on to the next phase. But before you can fully move forward, you have to let something go.
Luckily, Uranus trines the Sun and Moon from your 4th House. It seems that part of letting go is dealing with the past or maybe even something that you used to use as a point of comfort. Not all things can stay forever, and Uranus teaches you the power of leaping into the unknown. You may not know the outcomes of the year ahead, but you understand that you can’t continue on as you have been. There will be changes to your family or home life or your personal foundations, and with that, there will be changes to everything else. As we close a door, many more will open for you. 2022 leaves room for so much possibility and growth, especially with Jupiter in your 2nd House and Saturn continuing through your sign.
Venus is retrograde in your 12th House, where the New Moon will fall. Part of this retrograde is to help you build a better relationship with your intuition and make peace with personal closure. There is a sense of forgiveness in this transit. If mistakes were made, then give yourself grace. The past is in the past, it is time to move on. Mercury in your sign, sitting in your 1st House, helps you find the strength and motivation to drive ahead. It has you mind on your desires and knowing that you are embracing autonomy in a new way.
Use this New Moon to work through what has been left unresolved. Tie up loose ends and focus on regaining your personal power. Decide what may need to come to an end, but also celebrate the space for a new beginning. Take time to sit with your feelings and listen to what you pick up in the liminal space.

The start of the New Year has you a bit more future focused or dreamy than normal. Maybe it is about knowing that this year will feel different for you with Jupiter in your sign or maybe you are still feeling the holiday high. You are requiring a bit more connection than normal too. The New Year brings a New Moon, and there is also a call for new points of growth and opportunity.
You are finding yourself in a place where community is becoming more and more important to you lately. This could be that you are starting to branch out and connect with new people, or simply reinforcing the relationships you have already established. Whatever it is, people will be there to support you — if you ask for it. The New Moon in Capricorn comes to spend time in your 11th House, where your future, your goals, and your connections come into focus. This would be a great time to reach out to friends, plan out your year ahead, or even dream up what the next few years may have in store for you. You may be itching for a new experience, or to get back into a network or space that you were once a part of.
Uranus is in your 3rd House and working well with the New Moon. It reminds you of the power of your voice and how your words hold influence. Surprising news or new contacts can pop up now. You may feel busy or in demand in some way. Uranus is ensuring that you are finding the right people and the right words. Dialogue and conversations are a point of growth. Do not be afraid to share how you feel. There is an intuitive component to this as well, as Mercury sits in your 12th House. You may be looking to close doors on old thought patterns or seek closure behind the scenes. Make peace. Trust your feelings. Listen to your intuition.
Venus is retrograde in your 11th House, where the New Moon will fall. It isn’t so much that you are looking for closure, but also that you may be re-evaluating who your friends are. You may be rethinking who you align with or perhaps reinforcing the relationships you already have. Venus may also have you rethinking your goals or dreams for the future. Things shift and change, and Venus wants you to have a good relationship with your present self, as much as you hope to with your future self. Remain bright and keep your hopes high. Better situations are on the way.
Use this New Moon to come back to a community you may have left behind. Reconnect with old friends and re-establish yourself in the world. Reimagine your goals and focus on your future outcomes. Pay attention to how the present seems to inform your decisions. Venus needs you to reflect a little before acting.
