using tarot in the new year: January new moon
Happy New Moon in Capricorn! As we start our new year in 2021, we start off the year in the sign of Capricorn. This earth sign will help to keep you grounded. We will experience a New Moon in Capricorn on 1/13 at 12:00 AM EST. When tapping into this earth energy especially on a new moon you will be able to harvest the energy of getting things done and helping you to stick to the facts and put your emotions aside. This is a great time to set some intentions, start something new and get re-connected to aspirations.
When creating space for tapping into the earth element, think of your bare feet standing on concrete, in the sand, or in the dirt. This is the earth element at its best. Feeling the earth beneath you. The earth element is helping you to align your energies from the bottom up.
A great way to kick off a new mindset or a new intention, is by starting with a clean slate. There are many ways to “clean your slate.” The most important clean slate is your headspace. This may require you to schedule more sleep, set aside some alone time, write in your journal, go out in nature, exercise and or get on your meditation pillow. The mind needs to be focused and present to tap into that earth energy that is available to you.
Another great way to “clean your slate,” is to physically clean your space. With so many of us working from home, the home space has also become the office space. Our personal space, where we lay our heads down at night or where we strengthen our spiritual practice, can have an impact on our consciousness and or our sub consciousness. In preparation for the new moon coming, spend the day or the days prior to, getting your home cleaned up.
Rid your space from things that no longer serve you. Set a goal for yourself and challenge yourself to throw away at least one thing, one item. Either throw it in the trash and or donate it. Remember when you start this kind of practice you stir the pot for the magic to begin. When you rid your space of a physical item and or items, you are creating space for something else to be held. This practice is literal with the physical items in your home but there is also the spiritual version of this practice. Both are equally as important in creating the grounded energy needed to have us performing as out best.
Remember to not only clean your space but remember to take one step towards your new moon intentions or new goals. Set these intentions for yourself in advance. Wake up on the 13th and take one step towards your intentions. The energies are that much stronger on the day of and it helps to give you momentum towards that change.
Peace and Love,
Jenine
