Dear Friends,

Have you started to think about your New Year’s resolutions yet?

With just a few days left in 2022, you might be wondering and imagining what 2023 will bring…

But instead of waiting until New Year’s to voice your desires and intentions for the year ahead, you might want to get started a bit earlier.

That’s because on December 23rd, the New Moon in Capricorn will bring a perfect opportunity to lay the foundation for success and prosperity in 2023.

Self-mastery, achievement and discipline are the keywords of this New Moon.

However, with Mars currently retrograde and Mercury slowing down to begin its retrograde on December 29th, you may want to focus on planning your future rather than taking immediate action.

The New Moon in Capricorn will be challenged by Jupiter in Aries, which will push you to adjust your goals in a way that makes room for new experiences and personal growth.

So give yourself time over the coming days to reflect on what you’re committed to and what kind of legacy you want to start (or continue) building next year.

The New Moon in Capricorn is unlocking a powerful potential for success that you can harness over the coming days.

And your future is in your hands, so let’s take a look at exactly what you can expect during the last New Moon of 2022.

Planning Your Next Big Move

During the New Moon in Capricorn, you may be overflowing with enthusiasm and feel eager to get started on a new venture that excites you.

But chances are it’s not quite time to spring into action yet.

You might feel like a racehorse waiting for the gates to open… restless, energized, and full of confidence.

The Universe, however, is asking you to be patient.

The upcoming New Moon in Capricorn is a time to take things slow, plan ahead, and chart out the course you want to take in the new year.

Jupiter will re-enter Aries on the same day as the New Moon, awakening your raw inspiration and passion for exploration.

However, your task is to use this passion to envision and create a real-life structure that will allow you to accomplish your ambitions.

Financial planning, a well thought out schedule or timeline, and maintenance of your valuable tools and resources are some of the things that can set you up for success in the new year.

Do you feel a need to change directions or adjust your career path?

The New Moon in Capricorn is urging you to reflect on your roles and responsibilities, release what’s no longer serving your growth, and get clear on which passions you’re dedicated to developing over the long term.

You are being urged to do the responsible thing right now…

But it doesn’t need to crush your spirit.

Jupiter squaring the New Moon asks you to be responsible in ways that free you to follow your inspiration and explore fresh opportunities in the coming months.

If you take time to think ahead and plan for your future now, then early next year everything will be in place for you to move ahead more quickly with fewer detours or bumps in the road.

And this is a wonderful thing, because you may also run into tests over the coming months that push you to grow and challenge your confidence.

Are You Healing?

There’s a lot of cosmic commotion happening this New Moon.

Not only will Jupiter finally re-enter Aries, and the Sun and Moon enter the first degree of Capricorn together…

Chiron, the planetoid of wounds and healing, is set to go retrograde.

Chiron has been in Aries for what seems like an eternity… and will continue to move through the sign of the Ram until mid 2026.

This means that during the next few years, you will continue to be cosmically guided in healing any wounds around risk-taking, following your instincts, self-confidence, and believing in yourself.

Since the New Moon in Capricorn takes place on the day Chiron turns retrograde, whatever new ventures you initiate now could help you heal from past traumas related to asserting yourself.

Maybe you jumped into a project or relationship head first in the past, got burned, and since then you’ve been afraid of taking a risk and possibly failing.

Well, the New Moon in Capricorn is here to tell you that you can’t afford to hold back anymore.

Capricorn’s wisdom and long term vision brings a reminder that you can learn from your mistakes and plan calculated risks that will help you break through fear and scarcity, into greater abundance.

The plans you have for your 2023 may challenge the old version of yourself… and that’s a good thing.

It’s time to heal from the wounds that have damaged your self-image, and release whatever doesn’t resonate with who you are becoming.

Your Future Is In Your Hands

The New Moon in Capricorn will be a powerful time to seriously consider what you want to dedicate your energy to in 2023.

The coming days bring a wonderful time for reflection and planning practical steps to achieve your dreams.

Remember that you don’t need to be defined by what happened in the past.

You’re wiser now, and with some thoughtfulness and planning, your goals will certainly be within reach.

So as we enter the final days of the year…

Take a moment to evaluate where you are in your life, what you want to leave behind in 2022, and what you want to bring with you into the new year and beyond.

Wishing you a happy solstice and holiday season.

With Joy,
Luna Dragonwell
