Capricorn New Moon

This is our New Moon candle. Every New Moon we light this before dinner, and give thanks for all to come in the month ahead. It's a great way to connect as a family on our wishes and intentions. This is on top of our daily prayer before dinner giving thanks for all we have. It creates a really nice energy, and again is a few minutes in the day where we stop and appreciate life. It really puts things in perspective especially during times where maybe it's been a week full of bills or an emotional day.

Today's New Moon is in Capricorn, the steady mountain-climber of the zodiac. You may have a list of goals and dreams for the year, if not now is a great time to write it. From there, Capricorn is all about the action steps: how are you going to get there?

With each of your goals or dreams take a few minutes, eyes closed, and ask what do I need to know in order to make this happen?

Your attention might be drawn to a belief that needs shifting or a habit that needs changing.

Eyes closed again, ask what do I need to do? Write down any action steps that come to you, ignoring any critical or judgy inner voice.

Use this as a guide forward this month picking one or two do-able steps! 🌟🌟🌟

Energy and intentions overriding your words

Here is a great example of how our energy and intentions are overriding our physical realm right now, more than ever!

Last weekend I had arranged to meet with a friend for lunch. She asked me to choose a place as it was for my upcoming birthday. I looked for something half-way between our homes, and kept gravitating to this gorgeous cafe by the river. It had the kind of view I loved - looking out onto the water.

When I clicked on the photo's of it though, it looked like someone had set a shipping container down in the middle of nowhere, and all I could see around it was dirt as far as the eye could see. Hmm..nice view, but where were all the grass and trees? 

So I found another place, described as being in an enchanted garden! Happy with my choice, I emailed her the details and we decided to meet at 1pm the next day.

I parked, just as she called saying she was parking. Great!

"I'm parked right next to the playground." I said.

"So am I!" she replies.

"I'm staring at the red spiderweb climbing thing."

"Umm, I'm looking at a white one"

"Are you near the cafe?"

"Yes it's to my left."

"It's to my right, I'll walk around. Are you looking at the river?"

"What river?? I'm in a garden!!"

After a lot of confusion and texting each other the local "Where am I now" map, it turned out that she was at the cafe I had originally wanted to go to! It was 5 kilometres (3 miles) away!

I asked her how on earth she had ended up there - I hadn't even mentioned that I had been looking at it. She said "That's just what popped in my mind when you said the name of the cafe, it's where I thought you meant."

"Well I did want to go there because of the view, but I'm really not sure about all that dirt for miles around it."

"What dirt? There is a huge park, playgrounds, a walkway, a waterpark, it's gorgeous!" Clearly it's an old photo on the site!

I LOVE that her energy responded to my energy, rather than mere words in an email - meanwhile my energy obviously thought 'This is the place you really want to go to, trust me there's grass and trees as well as the view!"

So aside from yet another lesson in: "follow your first intuition" it was such a clear indicator that people, and life, are responding now to our energy and intentions more than ever. Logic and words are taking a back seat to what your heart truly wants and needs for you.

Have any of you got a story like this?
