December 30th Capricorn New Moon of 2024, My Chiron's Back And There's Gonna Be Trouble9˚ Capricorn, 5:27 pm EST
This Capricorn New Moon cycle will be an exceptionally trying one for all of us. Things like gender, race and station will have no bearing on the changes that are forced upon us. No one will be spared.
The planet Chiron squares the Moon (and Sun) for this last lunar cycle event of 2024, in the Gregorian Calendar. The examination of our methods of time keeping and our understanding of the very nature of time are at the crux of our understanding the 'gifts' of this transit. (The 'gifts' of the moment feel more like a sentence to be served and endured under house arrest, ie. 'not a lot of fun'.) Chiron is a planetoid that orbits the Sun, between Uranus and (sometimes inside) Saturn. As it was discovered in 1977 and named after a unique Centaur in Greek Mythology, it is often associated with self healing - or healing in capacities unrecognized, under-valued or just invalidated by conventional 'healers'.
Just as we all possess the capacity to nurture, we all possess the capacity to heal. These are not mutually exclusive things, but nurturing and healing are two different acts of giving care. Because of how slowly Chiron moves, orbiting the sun every 50 years or so, it has returned to the area of the heavens where we first found it. It's relationship to other heavenly bodies has been examined for 50 years, roughly the life span of a self actualized person that has experienced many, if not most of the trials and tribulations of this world. Some necessary, most - not. Life is to be lived with joy, not as an insurmountable challenge set by some collectively ill-concieved sadistic entity, hell bent on destroying any semblance of security, joy or belonging in our lives. We need to pull the proverbial thumb out of our mouths (or our asses) and get back to #keepingitreal.
Our lives have been fantasized, created and lived in a false bubble of our own making. We consume only what is necessary to continue our personal disillusionment - never taking the time to stop, reconnect with ourselves, reassess and #reclaim what is necessary to regain control. Well, maybe not all of us - but enough to cause serious issue and conflict within the human condition. Too many of us live their lives of disillusion; working too hard, at a job that injures their bodies and minds; trying to earn the 'wealth' that the security of home and family provide, never realizing it already exists all around them. We continue to start and fight unnecessary wars - sacrificing lives, love, precious minds and souls for a cause that is broken and empty. This is the unbearable sadness, anger and grief of our lifetimes. These are the 'wounds' we are destined to 'heal' today, starting right now - (especially if you haven't started already. Hey, maybe you don't have to because you're free of these constricting ideas of life and love. If so - GOOD FOR YOU!).
It starts with you. If you can not or will not do this - for yourself - you will be dragged into the future in ways that still feel chaotic and leave you feeling disconnected and alone. The change begins with honoring what you are, who you are and how you love. Trust that loving and honoring yourself and who you are will be enough. #YouAreEnough This is the true meaning of life kiddies - learning how to love. Love is EVERYTHING. Screw everything else pushing, pulling, cramming you into a space you don't or can't fit into. Be your bad ass self. #LiveInFullColor #LaughWithAbandon #LetGo of what or who ever is keeping you from the #truth. #LoveRadically If you can do it, maybe someone else can too. Start with yourself.

New Moon Medicine - How to Examine And Assimilate The Energy of the Moon
When considering energy of the New Moon and how it relates to you, examine the following things:
• What house does the New Moon fall within? House placement should indicate where the focus of this New Moon may fall for you. This includes the energy of the dispositing planet; the planet that rules the sign of the Moon Phase.
• What is the closest planet to the Moon? This planet also gives energy to the message of the Moon Cycle. Keep in mind an eclipse cycle is nine months. So what ever it is you're thinking about initiating in your life at this time, much of your manifesting may not even begin to occur until nine months later. The Eclipse cycle is a time when you can check back on what intention you set in the New Moon Phase.
• Look at other planetary influences - on the Moon, but also on your personal chart. These aspects could give you better understanding of what it is you are feeling and thinking.
Navigating New Moon energies can be very challenging. Be patient. Take every aspect of the situation into consideration. If there are aspects too numerous to follow, or navigate, perhaps the situation should be simplified. Focus on what is best for you. We all need to cultivate the six aspects of wellness; physical, spiritual, emotional, social, intellectual and occupational. Every person is unique in astrological make up and the circumstance of their environment. All of these variables should be considered when examining the gifts (or Medicine) of the Moon.
Even when everyone else around you questions your personal path, sometimes your best option is to jump back on it and #JustKeepGoing. If you don't no one else will. If you need a little humane guidance, I am here for you. May you drink deeply from the well of your own soul's truth. Here's to more self actualization in 2025 - personally and collectively.
