As we enter the New Year, it’s time for us to set intentions for what we want to achieve in our lives. A new moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, and it’s the perfect time for us to reflect on our inner selves and make plans for the future. The first Sidereal New Moon of 2024 falls on January 11th at 4:57 pm MST, and it’s an opportunity for us to renew our energy, focus on our dharma and purpose, and clear out any blockages that may be holding us back.

The new moon is in Sagittarius, in the Purva Ashada Nakshatra. The energy of this Nakshatra is represented by Apas, the goddess of water, which signifies emotions, purification, and rejuvenation. 

Have you been feeling stuck or stagnant in your emotions lately? Well, it’s a wonderful time to re-commit to yourself, your goals, and your purpose. Re-structuring your priorities and focusing on what really matters to you will help the waters and your life force energy to flow freely, setting you free to achieve what you truly desire.

Mercury, the planet of communication and connection, merchants, and business, moved into Sagittarius on the 9th in the 9th house of dharma and purpose. This new event is significant, and it’s the perfect time to reflect on our deeper emotions about our beliefs. We need to use discernment to get clarity and ensure we move in the direction that aligns with our heart. Are you moving towards your desired direction? If you’re not sure what your personal dharma or purpose is, take advantage of this time to do some clearing through ceremony or shadow work to move forward. By doing so, you may find yourself reaching new heights you never imagined. Next week on the 15th, I will be releasing information on my Revitilazing and Renewing Spring Cleanse!

It’s important to watch out for self-doubt and confusion, which can hold us back from achieving our goals. If you are unsure about your career path or life in general, use this sidereal new moon as an opportunity to get quiet, listen to your intuition and take necessary steps. Remember, Mercury’s energy helps us to communicate better and develop merchants’ and businesses’ strategies, so it is time to commit to growth and success in our chosen fields.

The waters of our emotions can be powerful, and it to make sure they’re healthy and flowing freely. Take the time to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul during this sidereal new moon season. Get rid of any emotional baggage that is holding you back. Hire a coach, get into counseling or deep meditation to support your goals by connecting with your intuition and inner wisdom. By aligning with your heart and setting true intentions, you have the power to open up to new opportunities in life and inviting growth.

At the beginning of the month, Jupiter went direct, denoting a period of positivity, wisdom, identity, passion, and independence. This is a time to lean into your inner wisdom and take action towards your dreams. It is essential to identify what’s preventing you from stepping into your true potential and align your head and heart. Don’t wait for perfection, use this energy to take inspired action, and grace will follow.

Mercury and Mars are conjunct during this time, making it a powerful time to stand up for your highest good and align with your passion and truth. Take practical steps and fulfill the seeds of hope and desires planted at this time. Remember, action speaks louder than words, so don’t overthink, take inspired action towards your dreams.

The sun is in Sagittarius, giving us a powerful opportunity to seek inspiration and leadership in our lives. Tap into your intuition and seek counsel from mentors and guides. This is also a great time to sow the seeds of abundance and cultivate a garden of prosperity. Take action towards your future wealth and watch your dreams materialize.

Saturn is currently in Aquarius, a time for energetic healing and a great cosmic pouring of love and light onto humanity. This is a time for transformation, releasing old patterns, and healing. Tune into the healing energies around you and remember to extend this healing to the world around you. You have the potential to make a difference, so embrace the energies of Saturn, and unleash your inner healer.

Venus is in Scorpio until January 18th, connecting us to our inner artist and deepening our emotional waters. Don’t get stuck in the emotions but allow your sweet, truthful waters to soften and flow. Embrace the power of love and connection and let your creative juices run free.
