In this first 2022 installment of our monthly salons on the New Moon with astrologer Carol Ferris, we’ll explore the archetypal essence of Capricorn through myth and modernity and learn about the astrology of the month ahead.
Our New Moon in Capricorn: double dark – the darkest time of the year, the darkest time of the month — the intense inward turning of life, the conservation of the light inside the dark is the preoccupation now. To begin the New Year, the Sun, Moon, and Venus join Pluto in dark feminine earthy Capricorn, and we are instructed to be careful with our energy. The deep inner quiet of winter’s center – exacerbated by our long journey through covid, confinement, restrictions of movement and growth – asks for more patience and containment.
Even as expansive Jupiter enters Pisces and urges a big creative leap into the world’s ocean currents – a surge; even as Mars in Sagittarius continues to take us on a rocket ride of imagination and inspiration; even as Saturn and Uranus square off again for another year of arguments about who’s in charge, what will change, who gets to say what will change – even with all that, time asks us to stay well in deep quiet, to conserve our qi, to be ready when the light returns in February and March.
