This New Moon with 7 “planets” in the sign of Aries is stacked up in the fire sign with harmonious aspects to both Uranus at the cusp of Taurus/Gemini and Pluto in early Aquarius.
The main theme of the New Moon ties to the Chiron conjunction within a one degree orb.
The area where we are wounded is also the area where we heal. The focus on this New Moon is around new beginnings, but Chiron has a history and legacy of abandonment. Chiron can heal others.
Let’s examine the areas in our own lives where we can set the intention for the deepest layer of healing around the abandonment of Self. How can recover those pieces that fragmented through trauma and division?
You might want to spend some time reflecting on new ways of relating to your own process of discovery and initiation. What triggers the spark of innovation in your own consciousness? What catalyzes the process of returning and being in reunion with thyself?
I’ve been meditating on many Buddhist practices with patient acceptance, tranquil abiding, and karma along with Advaita experiences of non-duality and investigations into witnessing awareness.
Our actions (Mars and its ruler Aries) are fundamental to how we express and experience the “call and response” of life and form. What is it that witnesses even before form or attention arises? When we make deliberate attempts and set our intentions on peaceful states of mind, can we witness our own becoming in the deep emptiness of an open and spacious sky?
Self inquiry, meditation and contemplation might not be for everyone, but healing deeply and reuniting aspects of the realization of oneness seems a worthy way to use this spark of life. Chiron can show us how our original pain points can be just the alchemy we need to put many profound spiritual practices into action, and transform the lives of ourselves and others through pursuing liberation and Bodhichitta.
May all beings be happy and free from misery and suffering.
Whatever you do in life in earnest, do it with a certain focus and a determined intent– this precision of mental focus mixes with reality, and profound magick is the resultant matter.
A new moon in Capricorn gives us a sincere opportunity to bring the best of our magick 🪄 into the making.
It’s a potent New Moon in the bone-wielding and earthy stabilizer of Capricorn. Capricorn is a sign with tremendous grit. This Earth sign is ruled by Saturn, the “archetypal “bone mother.” We can build with this energy, emphasized by the newness of the moon and the structural potential of Capricorn. It’s an auspicious beginning, one with grounded potential. It also comes at the END of Saturn in Pisces and after a long series of “28” degree planetary symbolism. This new Moon taps the 28th degree of Capricorn as Saturn “peaces out” Pisces from a 2+ year stay. Neptune also leaves Pisces after @ 14 year stay (Feb 3, 2012).
The 28+ degree is linked to that anaretic “29th” that is echoing in all these lunar patterns, with the real emphasis being on both Saturn and Neptune having been lingering at the 29th, anaretic degree in Pisces. Here’s a list with lunations tied to this similar anaretic pattern: recent and upcoming:
🌑 New Moons at ~28 degrees
September 21, 2025 — New Moon / Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo at ~29° (≈ 28–29°) — an eclipse lunation hitting that late degree threshold.
October 21, 2025 — New Moon in Libra at 28°21′.
November 20, 2025 — New Moon in Scorpio at 28°11′.
December 19, 2025 — New Moon in Sagittarius at 28°24′.
January 18, 2026 — New Moon in Capricorn at ~28°44′.
February 17, 2026 — New Moon / Solar Eclipse in Aquarius at ~28°49′.
March 18, 2026 — New Moon in Pisces at ~28°27′.
This is an unusual pattern and it definitely stands out.
Saturn is also known as Cronus in Greek myth, and Chronos by later philosophical and esoteric conflation. The way we work with time can be magickal. That being said, this New Moon is part of Saturn’s exit from Pisces. Since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, there’s that link again to Saturn’s “last breaths” held in the space and grace of Piscean magickal intention, (and mind-bending.) Pisces rules the imagination and pre-structural realm.
Pisces and Saturn together have created a formal link that is getting more “heated” as it is transitioning into the February Saturn/Pisces-ruled Neptune conjunction in Aries, punctuated with that eclipse in Aquarius (28+ degrees) within days of the conjunction—coming so soon—and ushering in the new pattern of eclipses in Leo/Aquarius that will gradually build in the new directions of the North and South nodes of the moon. How perfect that this February lunation will also bring in the year of the Fire Horse. 🔥 🐴 (to be discussed in future posts). Back to the nodes, then back to NOW.
The nodal change is the indicator of the new thematic trajectory of the past and future continuum.
The New Moon’s energetic charge here, on the 18/19th of January is so concentrated. It’s even moreso with the recent Venus star point activation, during the superior conjunction of the Sun, having happened just days earlier. Days before that with both Venus and Mars in conjunction to the Sun!
This is special and unique astrology.
Again, this lunation chart has such magickal potential written all over it.
If all the above wasn’t enough, I see Mercury conjunct Mars stand out. Applied willpower is steeled via the mental plane (in its highest expression) and made to affect matter— those very structures existing via Saturn and Capricornian order and expression.
In fact, the only “not centered” planet, in this potently energetic “ Capricornian New Moon” stellium-dominant chart, is Jupiter, pulling an opposition to the Mercury/Mars conjunction in Capricorn from the sign of Cancer. To my eyes, this serves to reinforce the focus of the already potent patten in Capricorn. I see Jupiter’s 8 degree orb within interpretative range to act as an amplifier of this aforementioned magickal potential. Like Jupiter is the virtual “wand” pointing right to the Mercury/Mars conjunction, wielding further influence to bring about an effectively focused and positive outcome…
Please read the Science of Magic by Dean Radin.
This new moon has all the possibilities and potential of Psi (the field of non-local mind to matter influences). Please check out Dean Radin’s legitimate and helpful scientific research that confirms many mind over matter experiments that support the existence and application of Psi. Most of the experiments were done with random number generators, designed with double-blinded, gold standards.
My final words for this New Moon in Capricorn: potent, potential, possibility (for Magick!)
-**
Above all is the power of love and its gift is pure magick 💗 Pisces (the sign of the current North Node) is representative of Higher Love, the transcendent love that knows no space nor time. Marvelous endings usher in marvelous beginnings and this New Moon is a glimmer of hope that you could sew in as golden seeds—for it will have lasting impact with proper intent.
Happy New Moon! Use your magickal potential wisely!
This New Moon might feel a bit awkward. The reason is that it’s looking like an interesting aspect pattern, forming what is known and called a “Yod.” It’s like an isosceles triangle with two quincunx/inconjunction 150 degree “legs,” separated from 60 degree sextile aspect between (in this case) Neptune/Saturn conjunction, with a harmonious aspect to Pluto; but, both of those legs 🦵 form an inconjunction to this New Moon at 0 degrees of Virgo. ♍️ In essence, it looks like a skinny slice of pizza 🍕 with the center point landed right on the tip at the New Moon in the mutable sign of Virgo at ground zero.
It’s considered to be awkward because the energies flowing from the Saturn/Neptune (dreams and idealism vs reality and limitations) meanwhile colliding with each other, and the awkward Uranus in Pluto in Aquarius — novel ways for human evolution—both point to the New Moon in Virgo in aspect pattern referred to as “finger of God.” It’s a finger of God because it means this is the MAIN POINT a “fulcrum” for making the biggest adjustments needed to harmonize the celestial energies. Fulcrum is moreso a metaphor here but the “gears” can be perceived with that mind’s eye, 👁️ making the experience mutable or movable.
The point-blank interpretation here is that it’s time for new habits for the mind and body. In order to really “step into” of the ideal state/dream (Neptune) in a sustainable way (Saturn) thus making the dream real (as opposed to the nightmare) and therefore bring in a transformed humanity worth its salt (Aquarius in Pluto), the consciousness needs to focus on the mutable sign of Virgo and set new patterns and habits of mind and body—and make that new health a part of its regular, daily work.
For me, it’s just been hard to write about this New Moon, or quite frankly to find the time to compose the thoughts and express the patterns. I’ve been a bit busy.
Throughout, I’ve been reading an excellent book called: The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain, by Annie Murphy Paul. I brought it with me on the plane and am reveling in the scientific support for why our brains do better with movement, how using the insular lobe to improve interoception makes us better at pattern recognition and performance in even the stock market and trading; and overall, we are more efficient when not working from the paradigm of brain centrism. Ironically I think I just lost the book tonight. I’m in a hotel and preparing to rest now for a very rigorous day tomorrow, joining my colleagues for another milestone in our careers.
So, this will be a brief message, and has been a brief, albeit more than one bite-sized message, so far!
Suffice it to say, we are too early in the Virgo season with all eclipses set up for next month. This new moon is at 0 degree Virgo. The word on the Astro Street is that so much newness is at the forefront. But I think you GOT THAT. With all the major planets changing signs this year and the world coming apart at the seams in a grand “take apart.”
What can this particular New Moon mean for you?
Free your mind from any mental constructions that are forcing your mental-hand to re-volunteer to suffer again and again, non-stop. I’m reminded of Joe Dispenza’s book and body of work around “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself.”
What ways have you over-identified with suffering and gotten your brain chemistry to be too familiar with the recipe for enacting the habit and “install suffering program,” press “repeat,” “repeat”?
Wishing you all a “good enough” new moon and hoping you decide to shed any perfectionist tendencies and fears for undotted “i’s” and uncrossed “t’s” for the duration of the celestial show, and maybe even a little bit longer than that.
I might come back and edit this post after I’ve emptied my brain of much deep and deliberate study, full-on with my fellow friends as we walk unified yet individually. In the meantime, keep afloat, keep afloat. I will never give up on your dreams. Why should I give up on yours or mine? Plus, I will never forget our shared heart! ♥️
With love and compassion and a really strong appreciation for all your efforts and your presence in this life, and for reading this post that was so hard to write! Yikes!
Someone convinced me to start recording YouTube videos. I have been reluctant to do this for years, but since I just finished up my last group class around reluctant shamanism, it’s time for me to also share my recent video here:
Everyone knows me as “Ka” that is my real name. Ka is resonant for me. All other names aren’t really as resonant for me. I received the name “Ka” in Hawaii back in 2011. Then I published my first book under my first spiritual name “Ka Malana.” Since then I have acquired: “Sees through water” and “Dechen Llamo.” Shamanic and Buddhist names respectively. It’s just a part of my magickal life!
Anyways a friend and coach convinced me that I needed to make my voice heard, because people need to hear it.
It’s taken decades for me to be convinced of this and so I basically just gave up the fight. I don’t need to believe it; I’m just doing it, instead.
The whole purpose of my life is basically to “reach” people. I’ve been doing it since being a child— offering those select, appropriate words to help catalyze another to their next level, or to lend compassion and support.
So I stepped out and started this channel, and I make weekly videos with zero preparation. I do this to just “get it done.” I have no idea what I will talk about until after it’s said.
This one happened to be about the summer solstice. My images aren’t self-flattering because I have put zero energy in to making them look pretty, so I hope ya’ll can get past that! Maybe they will get better as I go, because I sure am not gonna be “ready” first.
Happy Summer Solstice!
Leave a comment and let me know what you think. I love feedback. Just say “hey” and let me know you were there and are part of my beginnings 😃
May your light ☀️ shine bright like the sun, and you be full of vitality and love!
Now this one was satisfying. One of the reasons is I took one of my favorite “for kids” supplies and I stretched it beyond its ‘given’ capacity. I mixed it with grown up tools and water and boom 💥
This one also has “legs” which to me means: some mysterious life of its own.
I dedicate this one to Vipassana and all the learnings gained from sensational awareness as the object of meditation.
