New Moon Energy


Waning Half Moon - First Quarter: February 5th


This week, we’ve experienced a powerful transition—the midpoint between the solstice and equinox. In the North, it’s Imbolc, and in the South, Lammas—both fire festivals symbolizing transformation and growth within the wheel of the year. Many of us have also tuned into the energy of the Chinese New Year—Year of the Snake, further enhancing this week’s call for integration and awakening.


With so much stirring within and around us, this week offers an added gift: your inner light. She is sharing something meaningful, a gift of wisdom that only reveals itself when you slow down enough to feel her presence. Remember how she feels, so you can come to trust her and allow her to guide you.


This flow state or surrender may challenge preconceived ideas of how things "should" look, but that’s part of its magic. Trust the unfolding. I hope this week’s moon forecast will support you in embracing that trust, as you move forward with clarity and intention. 🌕✨


The Energy of the Waxing Moon


The waxing half-moon aligns with the energies of spring and the Maiden archetype. This time marks our emergence from the inner underworld, a return to the light following the deep introspection of the dark moon. We carry forward the wisdom gained, ready to integrate it into our lives for personal growth and the collective good.


The waxing moon, connected to the rising sun in the east and the air element, brings a breath of fresh energy. It calls for intentional reflection on our words and thoughts, encouraging us to cleanse our energy through prayer and ritual. This is the moment to send heartfelt messages into the universe, trusting in the process of manifestation.


Implementing Dark Moon Insights

This phase invites us to take the insights gained during the dark moon and apply them practically. Whether they were revelations about our inner world, relationships, or creative endeavors, now is the time to plant those seeds and nurture them.


What actionable steps can you take this week to bring those realizations to life?


Here's a list of my favorite activities during this phase:


  • Dancing in the breeze

  • Singing or chanting

  • Exploring new places

  • Cloud watching

  • Journaling my thoughts

  • Trying new tea blends

  • Filling my space with uplifting scents


Take a moment to reflect on your own list. What small moments of joy can you infuse into your daily life to keep this energy alive?


Moon Meditation



Sidereal Astrology


Sidereal vs. Tropical Astrology

Sidereal astrology uses the real positions of the stars in the sky to create your chart. It differs from tropical astrology. Because the Earth’s position slowly shifts over time, sidereal astrology reflects where the stars actually are today, while tropical astrology keeps the zodiac signs fixed to the seasons. As a result, your zodiac sign might be different in sidereal astrology compared to tropical astrology.


Sun in Capricorn: Earth Element

Sun in Capricorn: Earth Element - Building on Long-Term Foundations

The Sun’s presence in Capricorn brings an earthy, grounded energy, encouraging us to focus on creating lasting foundations. Capricorn teaches us patience, trust, and the importance of aligning with the natural cycles of creation.


The Sea Goat—Capricorn’s symbol—is a mythical creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. This duality represents a unique blend of ambition and mystical wisdom, reminding us to balance practicality with spiritual insight. It speaks to the dedication and persistence required to climb life’s mountains while remaining connected to the flow of intuition and the depths of our emotions.


Right now, you’re being called to step into your power. This energy invites you to claim your strength, remember your wildness, and trust in your ability to grow.


No one can control you, for you are connected to your inner light—untamed, free, and liberated. This is a time to challenge limiting narratives and examine the contracts you’ve made with yourself and the world.


Reflections for Growth:


  1. Where are you being asked to step up? What areas of your life require your commitment, ambition, and trust in the long-term process?

  2. What aspects of your life are you engaging within an unaligned way? Where are old patterns holding you back?

  3. How can you shift these connections? How might you approach these areas with maturity, patience, and the wisdom of the Sea Goat, blending ambition with intuition?


Daily Practices for Alignment:


  • Get familiar with your North Star: Think of this energy as building long-term strength for the journey ahead. Capricorn guides us to tune into our purpose with clarity. Take time to reflect and put clear, meaningful words to your guiding light.

  • Daily check-in: At the end of each day, pause and reflect: Were your actions aligned with your purpose? If not, what held you back or created resistance? What small adjustments could you make tomorrow to realign with that guiding light?

  • Acknowledge the lessons of the day: Whether they came through successes or challenges, give thanks for the insights you’ve gained. Release any tension or self-criticism and trust in the process of growth and realignment, knowing that each step contributes to your long-term vision.


Capricorn's energy reminds us that progress happens gradually, and each day presents an opportunity to strengthen your foundation and recommit to your journey.


Moon in Aries - Taurus

Transition from Aries to Taurus - From Vision to Grounded Action

As the moon transitions from Aries into Taurus, we experience a shift in elemental energy, moving from the fire of Aries to the grounding earth of Taurus. This transition offers an invitation to integrate the clarity and life force we received during the fiery Aries phase and anchor it in practical, stable ways.


Aries Energy - The Ram: The symbol of Aries, the ram, represents determination, courage, and a readiness to forge ahead. As a fire sign, Aries fuels us with bold, sometimes explosive energy that clears a path for fresh ideas and breakthroughs. You may have experienced a clear vision of where to pour your energy or undergone a significant shift in perspective, releasing mental tension and unnecessary attachments in the body. This is a time to receive space and clarity, collecting the gifts of vitality and presence through practices that make you feel alive, present, and sensual.


Taurus Energy - The Bull: As we shift into Taurus, symbolized by the grounded and steady bull, the energy becomes focused on sustaining and implementing the insights we’ve gathered. Taurus, as an earth sign, offers the stability and patience needed to bridge the gap between the spiritual downloads we received and their practical application in our physical reality. Where Aries ignites inspiration, Taurus holds and nurtures it, ensuring that our energy does not leak but instead builds toward something tangible.


Taurus energy helps us slow down, savor the moment, and engage in intentional actions that nourish our long-term vision. The bull teaches us how to remain grounded while maintaining inspiration, creating a harmonious balance between movement and rest, spirit and matter.
