“Intention is infinite.” Carlos Castaneda
The Moon waxes new Tuesday January 16 at 26 degrees of Capricorn. The symbol of Capricorn is the mountain goat – which tenaciously aspires and perseveres to reach the heights at the top of the mountain. If you have ever been around goats you probably know it is best not to get in their way. They can be very strong willed and determined animals.
Capricorn is Saturn’s sign and as Caroline Casey has written, “Saturn lays the tracks for the Reality Train to follow.” The New Moon bodes well for intention setting while committing to the work , discipline and self restraint required which will result in a positive long term outcome.
At the time of the New Moon Mars will be making a harmonious aspect to Chiron – the asteroid of the Wounded Healer. This indicates that the ongoing process of healing inner fragmentation and moving towards a more whole inner vision can be a powerful asset in actualizing your aspirations.
One of Sabian symbols for this New Moon is, “A mountain pilgrimage.” Another is,” A nature spirit dancing in the mist of a waterfall.”
