CAPRICORN Excerpt: "This period coincides with critical decisions where you may have to give others more freedom to avoid conflict or cut them loose altogether. ..." New Moon Message & Intention for Members Below: Under this Aries lunation, the call may be to deal with matters of a highly personal nature, where long-standing issues relating to home and family can often take an aggressive turn. Wounds stem back to a parent’s impatience (usually of the opposite sex) when you were still a baby. Every hurt and nagging annoyance, abuse or repressed anger now trying to rise out of you is deeply seeded in your family tree. The Aries lunation brings up matters of an intensely fiery nature. Sadly, it doesn’t leave enough room for you to express your true emotions to the point of self-recognition, understanding, and enough compassion to reach satisfaction. Commonly, this is because loud, warzone-like childhood homes, with lots of conflicts, constructive or destructive, give as much energy to the soul as they can take away. It’s what makes you so tough, even ruthless. Hence, your home can become a battlefield for emotional spats and where you may be prone to power struggles. This period coincides with critical decisions where you may have to give others more freedom to avoid conflict or cut them loose altogether. Ultimately, what’s going on in your immediate world needs to resonate with your own deepest instincts. ‘Liberating’ others may be harder than it sounds right now. In one sense, you are almost obsessed with keeping the facade of respectability, authority and composure to the world, even when everything around you seems to be falling apart. You may find it’s necessary to pull back from the exterior world, distance yourself and spend a little time in solemn contemplation or meditation before you set your intention on this New Moon. Between this Equinox New Moon and the Solar Eclipse of next month, unresolved issues to do with a parent, where you may have experienced a deep fracture in the relationship, wounding, or some sense of inadequacy may now surface, needing to be healed. Where the conscious attitude to the father may be one of idealisation or contempt, this lunation can leave you fixated or indeed perplexed in a struggle to identify the true nature of that relationship. Strong expectations or images of how we want to be seen in the world are often projected onto our father figure. However, difficulties arise if there is a risk, or fear of rejection or disapproval, particularly should you fall outside the desired image or disobey. Deep down, we each seek the approval and blessing of the father, and when this is denied, our soul becomes tormented, and we become heartbroken. This New Moon presents the opportunity to begin your journey to find ways to create a more secure foundation, connect to your personal history, ancestry, and the psychic and emotional inheritance upon which you build anything in your life that is to rise steadily above the ground. Your roots will ultimately nourish the inner core of your being, where you absorb the nutrients from the earth like a tree and where you anchor yourself so that you do not get blown away. When these roots feel torn or damaged, you feel deprived of nourishment, your capacity to stand your ground, feel anchored, and assert yourself out there in the world becomes diminished. Suppose you have suffered some degree of disconnection to the grounding of your parental ties, home, and family. In that case, this lunation will highlight difficulties in your relationships, particularly how you parent your own children or nurse your wounded inner child. Unconsciously you may become manipulative or emotionally explosive, spending much energy trying to control and suppress your feelings. Here, you will have to take some time to learn how to defend yourself against further emotional wounding, especially in relationships where issues of co-dependence come into focus. Creating order, safety, beauty, peace, and joy to any degree is important to your healing. A place to start is by clearing out spiritual clutter. Donate, sell or throw out articles of clothing you haven’t worn in the past two years and, especially, purge items that bring up negative feelings about past experiences or relationships. Making these shifts and changes in your living environment will positively affect your emotional well-being and recalibrate your experience of and relationship with what “home” can be for you today. Find ways to make your residence feel like a proper home. Healing comes from making your living environment a haven of love, peace, and tranquillity. This New Moon represents the beginning of a journey that is all about discovering and caring for the vulnerable, needy child within; when you become a healing mother to yourself, this ends with the search for acceptance from anyone. New Moon Intention I am releasing all negative emotions and past wounds related to my personal and family history and creating space for healing and growth. I embrace my true emotional nature and allow myself to express my feelings with self-recognition, understanding, and compassion. I am releasing the need to control others and giving them the freedom they deserve to avoid conflict and create harmony. I am spending time in solemn contemplation and meditation to connect with my deepest instincts and set firm intentions for the year ahead. I am acknowledging and addressing unresolved issues with my parent and freeing myself from negative projections or expectations. I am nourishing my roots to feel anchored and assert myself in the world with confidence and strength. I am creating a haven of love, peace, and tranquillity in my living environment, allowing myself to become a healing and supportive nurturer to my vulnerable inner child.
