On January 2nd at 1:33pm EST, we enter the peak of the New Moon in Capricorn. This is one of my favorite moons to work with. The Capricorn New Moon has a focus on getting stuff done. Working with this Moon helps us see the daily steps we can take to get us closer to what we want to create. 

New moons carry the energy of intention setting. They are a perfect time to plant the seeds of dreams to come. When we get extra quiet during these times, we can hear what our true soul wants. This helps us figure out what we want to create and how we want to feel.

Part of what is so amazing about Capricorn energy is that it helps keep you committed and disciplined on the journey to get the thing you want. The reason this is so important is because the journey of creating the things we want to create will always—yes, ALWAYS—include steps we don’t want to take. 

There’s a saying that got popular a few years ago: “If it’s not a f*ck yes, it’s a f*ck no.” And I deeply disagree with that sentiment. Not everything is going to be a f*ck yes, but that doesn’t mean it’s not part of the path forward to the life of our dreams. And so, Capricorn energy is really helpful for accessing the discipline it takes to do the things we don’t want to do—but that we need to do—to get where we want to go. 

Now, this doesn’t mean everything about the path forward is unpleasant. You should absolutely feel lit up by most of the steps you’re taking. But because we live in a world of polarity, there are going to be some steps we have to take that aren't going to feel amazing. 

Do you want to take the time to meditate every day? No.

But you do want the clarity and peace you get when you do meditate.

Do you want to work out every day? No.

But you do want the health and vitality you feel when you do work out.

Do you enjoy doing things out of your comfort zone? No.

But quite often that is where your next manifestation lives.

That’s why the f*ck yes culture of “everything should feel good” can be so misleading, especially when you’re setting your intentions for the new year.

The journey of creating the things we want to create will always—yes, ALWAYS—include steps we don’t want to take.

And for most of us, the thing that trips us up—the thing that keeps us from stepping into a more purposeful life of clarity—isn’t setting our intentions. It is sticking to them, on the days that are challenging.

It is doing "the things", even when we don't want to. It is showing up, even when we are still in self-doubt and don't feel "ready". It is taking the steps and committing, even when we feel unsure.

You see, buying into the idea that all our steps forward should be a f*ck yes is often what keeps us stuck. It gives us an excuse to stop what we are doing whenever friction or discomfort comes up.

But moving THROUGH the friction is part of the journey we need to take to create what we most desire.

Capricorn energy keeps you in a place of discipline. And discipline is what keeps you committed to the daily steps you need to take to reach your end goal. Discipline is what will keep you committed to honoring your end goal more than your “right now.” 

The thing is, we can have different energy around “doing the things we need to do to get where we want to go.” We can be glad when some steps are finished. And with other steps, we can enjoy the journey. In fact, it's really important to enjoy the journey. That's why working with the moon's energy to create intentions is different from making resolutions or setting goals. 

With setting goals, we decide what we want and create a plan to get there. To succeed, we have to follow that plan and reach that goal. The process is rigid, not fun and doesn’t account for the way our goals and the path to them naturally evolve as we take steps to achieve them.

Setting intentions with the new moon is different. Each month, we get quiet to connect with want we want to call in and—more importantly—the feeling we want to have from that creation. Then we’re led by that feeling to the next steps we need to take. 

Since we're tuning in each month, we're constantly being honest with ourselves about what we really want. And that’s important because every big thing we want is actually made up of lots of tiny choices that help us get there. So each month, we get to intuitively fine tune the tiny steps we’re taking towards achieving our goal, instead of staying committed to a plan that no longer takes us where we want to go.

In my group coaching program, SHIFT, I encourage members to keep a special Moon Journal to track their intentions and the steps they need to take to reach those goals. Each New Moon, they can look at the intentions they set the previous month and ask clarifying questions that help keep them moving toward what they most want to create.  

It’s the tiny choices we make every day that will bring us to where we want to go. That’s why the quieter you get and the more intentional you are—every single day—the more the life you dream of will be connected to the life that you're living. 

So let’s make space for something new to grow and welcome in the transformation that is available to us with the powerful energy of this dreamy and expansive New Moon. Tap into the energy of the Capricorn New Moon and step into your own transformation with my latest prerecorded virtual workshop.
