━═★ New Moon Blessings ★═━

The New Moon in Capricorn on Thursday 29^th December 2016 has its zenith at 4:53 pm (Brisbane Time, Australia).  For our friends overseas, the New Moon occurs on 30^th December.  Those who have Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn as their sun signs or ascendants will feel this new moon particularly.

━═★ What does that mean for you? ★═━

Long-term plans and organisation are the key words for this new moon.  This gives you an ideal lunar energy to create your New Year’s resolutions with the full support of the Universe.

However, you may notice over the next four weeks and especially across the next 72 hours, some interesting behaviours and experiences arising.

Capricorn energy brings stubbornness, discipline and resources – couple this with the Mercury Retrograde’s energy and BAM!  You start looking backwards rather than trying to shake off this dust of this past year and looking forwards.

You will notice situations and emotions which require some tough love and a willingness to finally acknowledge you cannot change a person and/or situation.  Luckily, the energies also support a heightened intuition and wisdom.  It is important at this time to focus more on you, yourself and your situation rather than the drama-mongers which may be in your life.

You may also notice a feeling of wanting to ‘just get on with it’ yet you feel detached or fuzzy and also not being sure of exactly WHAT you should be getting on with! Try not to allow your frustration and restlessness to rattle your cage.

All new beginnings, whether they be mundane or momentous, are able to benefit from the Capricorn New Moon – so don’t delay, harness the energy and use it.  Capricorn energy encourages us to create healthy boundaries and rules for living which encourage less stress and chaos.

Focus on immediate long-term goals.  Now that may be as simple as creating a list of things to tackle in your household : clearing your desk, balancing check books, buying, starting a new journal, tackling the sales to buy Christmas cards for next year.

━═★ Appropriate Releasing Ceremony ★═━

For those who wish to release 2016 and encourage a prosperous, healthy and wise 2017 may like to complete a simple ceremony during the New Moon.

Choose a wish candle (these are small candles that burn for approximately 20 minutes) – any colour which is attractive to you is suitable however there are some colour guidelines: brown for grounding, green for abundance, pink for love, red for passion, blue for peace/communication, yellow for joy and clarity, orange for clear emotions and of course, white covers everything!

Hold the candle to your heart and breathe deeply (yet comfortably) three times.  On each out breath say: I release the shackles of the past.

On the in breath say: I welcome a wisely chosen future.

Light the candle – placing it in a bowl filled with sand/dirt or a candle holder so that it may burn safely.

While the candle burns, use that time to write a list of not only what you wish to achieve this coming year but also how you wish to feel!

 ━═★ Suitable Crystals for Gridding ★═━

If you are gridding, suitable crystals to work with this New Moon include: ruby, agate, amethyst, garnet, quartz, turquoise, blue lace agate, black tourmaline, magnetite/lodestone, peridot, smoky quartz, tiger eye, idocrase, azurite, blue aragonite, malachite, ocean jasper, fluorite, chalcopyrite.

━═★ Capricorn Moon of Dreaming ★═━

Capricorn Moon– Seeking new heights

Send my fears away in flight

Renew my duty to my soul plan

To persevere across my life’s span.

 ━═★ Capricorn Magick ★═━

When the Moon is in Capricorn, you may feel incredibly sure–footed, focused and ready to take on the world to achieve your goals and dreams.  Alternatively, you may feel like a knock–kneed kid left trembling on a high mountain with no way off.  Magick, during a Capricorn Moon, is best when you rely on your tried and true methods.

A perfect time to buy or bless any magickal tools involving pentacles or objects you associate with Earth.

The Capricorn New Moon is beneficial for magick concerning:

• Starting a new business or project
• Dissolving delays
• Grounding or stabilising energy
• Re–doing a spell to strengthen its magick
• Enhancing skills and abilities
• Mission setting
• Deciphering life purpose.

Animal Totems – Butcherbird
The Butcherbird is a bully – with a beautiful song. Are you forcing or feeling your way? Are you beating yourself up because you are not perfect? Butcherbird asks, is it time to step up and out of a state of victimhood? Alternatively, Buthcherbird energy can signal a time to apologise with a fair and honest heart. Ultimately, Butcherbird asks you to consider whether you are operating from a space of conceit and arrogance or whether you are in a state of service to others – defending those who are persecuted or victimised.

Meditation with Caithe
Meditation is designed to increase your focus and your ability to expand your awareness. In today’s modern world, we are encouraged to be BUSY. This isn’t conducive to meditation! In our meditation circle, you are encouraged to meditate for only a short period through active visualisation provided by Caithe. If you are distracted, bring yourself back to the task by focussing on your breath. Whether you meditate for 15 minutes or 1 minute, your body will thank you for the peace!

You can listen to the Council of Wisdom Meditation HERE.

A Reading a day develops intuition in a superior way!
Use your journal for recording your readings. For this activity, select a deck and clear it. Ask: May I, Can I, Should I? This not only seeks Universal permission, it also confirms whether you have the skill level to read at THIS moment for your PURPOSE. Look at your card – what symbols and signs ‘jump out’ at you? What do they mean to you? Write your observations down to read and reflect on again at a later date.

In closing:
We thank all the positive energies and entities for providing guidance and insight today. We thank each of you for this opportunity to spend time with like-minded people in a space of honour and light. Whenever you are in that place in me, and I am in that place in me, we are One. Namaste
