New Moon in Capricorn: Built to Last

“The one thing you can’t get back is time.”

--Ammachi

With the new Moon in Capricorn on January 11, it’s time to plant the kind of seeds we want to build on for the long haul -- especially when it comes to work. Capricorn is the sign that reminds us that anything worthwhile takes time, sustained effort and patience. We are reminded that time is of the essence, and time is our most precious commodity -- and therefore should never be wasted.

This is our first new Moon of 2013, and because it’s in the sign of get-things-done Capricorn, if you haven’t already implemented your New Year’s resolutions, here’s your second chance! Plus, the energy behind this new Moon is the strongest for resolutions and commitments of all the new Moons because of Saturn’s staying power (Saturn rules Capricorn). 

Watch how your intentions take form over the next six months. Make sure you have a clear focus, and commit to working hard to achieve your goals. If you do it right and play by the rules, this new Moon will surely bring great rewards by the full Moon in Capricorn at the end of June (the culmination of this lunar cycle).

Capricorn rules career, so it’s time to take professional aims to the next level over the next six months. This is a time of great discipline and giving structure to your ideas. This new Moon is also working with Mercury, the planet of ideas, commerce and messages, which brings amazing efficiency and brilliance to this very focused lunation. Seeds planted now will endure the tests of time.
