We tend to think of the New Moon as a kind of wish-granting tree; if we make a wish, certainly the phase of the Moon that sees a deep potential will grant us our wish… right?
We also make wishes when we see a Full Moon.
The Moon holds such fascination and hope for us that whenever we get the chance, we look up, with hope in our hearts and a wish in our minds.
Today, our Moon is in the astrological sign of Capricorn, where the sun also resides for a month.
The interesting thing about the New Moon, rather than the ever beloved star of the cosmic spectacle, the Full Moon, is that the New Moon is not about results; it’s about wanting, wanting…desiring.
This New Moon in Capricorn can make us want more than we have, as it is the transit that conjures up the idea of limitation. It is today that many of us accept what we cannot do or have. And on some level, that has to be OK.
So today can be tough for some zodiac signs. We don’t like to think that we have limits or that we might not get what we want out of this life, but we also know that this kind of acceptance brings peace.
The less we need, grab, reach out, or hunger…the better. We are becoming simpler people, and while the result is stellar, the journey can be difficult. We are “on the road to find out”.
Zodiac signs that will have an approximate horoscope on December 23, 2022:
1. Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
There are so many elements at play here and plenty to distract you. We examine the idea that you feel good about yourself, only to recognize that you are about to enter a situation where not everyone else feels as good about yourself as you do. You can also imagine it, because today’s lunation will make you doubt all that you are worth.
The New Moon makes you feel like you can’t do anything, and something can be as simple as walking into a room full of strangers. What usually seems a little daunting is much more than you can handle today.
You don’t want to move forward because you fear what will happen. You project questionable conditions where there are none. Think before you condemn your actions, Cancer. You’re not as ‘off’ as you think.
2. Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
Right now you’re trying to balance the idea that you’ve been told something amazing and not knowing if that amazing thing can happen. It’s like the biggest tease, and it bothers you, Virgo. It does. On this day, you will receive auspicious news… but the reality of it depends on things you cannot control, which will drive you crazy.
New Moon energy, especially in Capricorn, makes you see the end, which is bad news. Now remember, it’s all in your mind: you’ve decided to see the outcome as mediocre. If you hold out hope, you’re only prolonging the inevitable disappointment that this whole experience feels like.
The truth is, you don’t know if this will end well or badly… can you imagine it all going well, Virgo? Hmm, maybe it’s worth trying to look at it that way, especially during a New Moon.
3. Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
From time to time you experience total polarity in how you feel about the future and yourself. On this day of December 23, under the New Moon, you will only see the dark side of yourself, leaving you to believe that only betrayal awaits you. Sheesh, you can be dramatic sometimes, Libra.
But, nevertheless, when you get into full drama, it’s usually during a New Moon, so blame it on the universe and its crazy antics. This day is difficult for you because you are in one of those “share and share alike” moods, otherwise known as “misery loves company”.
Today you reach out to friends to complain, ask questions, and share your nihilistic view of the future. While everyone is wrapping presents, you are sharing the gift of negativity. You’re not the Secret Santa someone had in mind!
