The moon will be new at 4:27 pm Central Time in the sign of Capricorn today, Monday, December 30th.
It’s a rarity to have two new moons in one month’s time, the first one was on December 1st. That it happens as we concurrently crest into New Year’s Eve makes it seem all the bigger like the entire month of December was a Universe in and of itself, and now we’re headed into a whole new one.
I like the thought that December was an outlier. It has felt like the world has been holding its breath, as we wait for Trump's inauguration and the potential of what may follow. I’ve also noticed some denial in myself and others as we’ve just tried to focus on the moment and live our lives, but the hesitation to do even the smallest of things is apparent as I observe humanity right now.
I got an email from a business owner who shared that her sales were down 25%—30% from their regular levels at this time of year, a season in which so many in the retail and service industries are dependent upon an influx of cash to help them make it through the cold and slower winter months ahead. Of course, I am speaking of those independently owned businesses and/or the employees on the ground of the corporate behemoths.
I don’t know how any of us regular people are surviving right now. I feel more and more pushed to my limit as I think many of us are, not only where money and the fulfillment of basic needs and wants come in but across the board in all areas. I wonder how much more pressure we can all take before we find ways to release it.
The release is key in receiving the new, and today is an excellent day to throw into the trash heap what we can, heal what we are able to, and open ourselves up to the new, the more, and the sparkle that still exists even as the patriarchal forces try to dim our light. I can think of no better moment than a second-in-one-month new moon in Capricorn to work this magic.
Jon and I will be sharing food with Theresa and Vasken tonight as we make magic and intend during this new moon energy. Spellcasting with loved ones makes the spells stick even more due to an increase in joy, and tonight’s meal comes on the heels of one we had yesterday afternoon with dear beings and their wonderful children.
I’ll try to avoid eating more cookies as I feel my entire body is now made of cookies.
How are you??!! Please drop me a comment below and let me know.
Jon has released the latest in his series of new musical pieces coupled with subliminal affirmations. Prosperity and Abundance is now available and you can listen to an excerpt below. The entire series is here on my site.

I too am trying not to think about it. I don’t know what to call what I am doing, but it is what I have to do to move forward with any spark of warm-heartedness and to be able to put one foot in front of the other.
I also feel like my body is made up of cookies and cheese and chocolate and a bit of alcohol, but am not ready to swear any of them off just yet.
It feels a bit like these are days out of time and I am enjoying that and doing some dreaming about how love might show up in the days to come. ❤️🦋💓
That means twice in one month we get to see a phenomenal night sky, alive with the magic of New Mexico clear high elevation air alive with twinkling stars!! Now that I have a new eyeglass prescription, I am excited to see what I see.
A dear friend who passed away, was the keeper of reminding us of each new moon. His husband tries to keep up.. I'll call him tonight and we will talk about Alex ( the deceased).
I am reminded to pray each morning, prayers of kindness and love and to be living in the world I want to live in. This is heightened by our political situation, but not too different than what I've been doing for years. I hope your new moon magic dinner is full of love and good eats!
