January 09-10 ,2016: First New Moon in Capricorn: Transforming Our Gold
January 09-10, 2016 will be the first New Moon of the year and the New Moon in Capricorn will precede a magnificent alignment of Venus, Saturn and the star Antares.
Venus-Saturn conjunction January 9, 2016
With Capricorn being the last of the three earth signs of the zodiac its the one of the strongest in grounding, and the New Moon is the moon magic for calling in what it is that we want to flower in our life or planting seeds for next 30. 60 and 90 days. A New Moon can work powerful manifestation magic because the Moon is furthest from the earth and this frees the imagination from material limits. Magic should only be performed if you have truly deprogrammed yourself from mass media influence and have healed all your ancestral wounds. Otherwise, thought-seeds planted at the New Moon will grow, so be careful what you wish for!
Last night I took this image of the Waning Crescent Moon near Venus and Saturn.
As we are in the first full week of the New Year 2016 this could be one of the best time to make a wish or to say a prayer for whatever it is that you want. It does not matter if you are a water, air or fire sign because this energy works on everyone.
And finally, the star Antares with the alignment of Venus, Saturn. Antares is the star of cosmic desire.
The name Antares means “Rival of Ares,” or “Rival of Mars,” since Mars is the Roman name for Ares, the Greek god of war, and its red color gives it the appearance of the planet Mars. (These two are in fact conjunct every two years as Mars travels in its orbit along the ecliptic where Scorpio resides in the zodiac.) Red is the color of desire and this is the reddest star in the heavens; it symbolizes that red of desire underlying every manifestation of divine life.
