moonscope for the week of 1/8

this week, with the sky growing darker and the moon placed in a waning crescent until thursday, your inner sky and energy could feel dimmer than usual. do not fret — this is normal! the new moon is the lowest energy point of the lunar cycle. a common symptom of waning moon energy is discomfort; feeling as though you are walking aimlessly in the dark with no clear destination in sight. throughout this week it could be helpful to remind yourself that in order to flourish you must first be nourished; rest is productive. lean on the routines and structures that help you feel your most grounded and supported. come thursday, the new moon in capricorn could act as a cosmic reset, an opportunity to get real about the sustainable steps necessary to get! your! goals! if overculture's "go go go" new year energy hasn't resonated with you, this new moon could feel more aligned in giving that fresh slate feeling. what will you call in? let's dig in:

 

monday (1/8) and most of tuesday (1/9), the moon will be placed in the free-spirited fire sign sagittarius. sagittarius knows no bounds - it is ruled by jupiter, the planet of expansion, purpose, and luck. combined with low waning moon energy, it's possible you could feel as though there's so much you'd like to do, see, and explore but not enough time or energy to do it all; potentially leading to firey frustration or overwhelm. it could be challenging to focus. on these days it could be helpful to mindfully practice being gentle with yourself, allowing yourself to work with - not against - natural ebbs and flows. if routine feels too rigid in this moment, welcome flexibility whereever you can. furthermore, while discipline is important, don't completely resist your lust for life. consider quenching your curiousity by seeking out "micro-adventures" and glimmers of wonder, spaciousness throughout your day. take a new route on your daily walk! chat up a stranger on your coffee run! turn your trip to the grocery store into a quest! adventure is a mindset; open to it

 

with the waning crescent moon in capricorn, wednesday's (1/10) energy will likely feel very low. with the new moon around the corner, and the sky growing dimmer, you could feel called to spend more time alone, to enter full-on introspection mode. you might also pick up on a more serious, focused undertone to this day, as though everyone is in their own bubble, deep in thought, strategizing. astrologically speaking, this day will likely be most supportive of deep, juicy reflection rather than initiation

 

are you ready for a reset? if so, now is the cosmically-aligned time! the first new moon of the new year, happening on thursday (1/11) will be placed in ambitious, practical, earth sign capricorn. new moons are times of new beginnings, like fresh slates, blank canvases. they are also the best time of the lunar cycle to set intentions. placed in the "daddy" of the zodiac, capricorn, which is ruled by saturn - the planet of responsibility, long-term goals, and structure - this new moon will be super supportive in helping you plan the path you'll need to bring your purpose to life. as aforementioned, capricorn is grounded in long-term game plans, sustainable strategies, and commitment. to work with this energy, you might consider asking yourself: how can i reach my goal(s) without burning out? what systems will i need to have in place to make this dream a reality? what boundaries will i need to establish with myself and others? what are realistic expectations and timelines to set? what are the steps necessary to see this through? commit to consistency! ground into your goals! watch breakthroughs come your way!

 

at 10:02 pm est thursday (1/11) the moon will gust into visionary air sign aquarius. remove filters! push boundaries! embrace change with open arms! get a little weird! aquarius is ruled by uranus, the planet of innovation, technology, originality, and sudden change. thursday through saturday evening, you could feel more drawn than usual to stimulating conversation and thought, especially on the topic of social progress and values. community-centric activities could also be a focus at this time. under aquarian skies, everything is a statement, an opportunity to voice what you believe in. you could naturally find yourself thinking outside of the box and challenging the status quo, asking questions, and conducting research. don't be surprised if you find yourself deep in a group chat, multiple tabs open, diving deep into how you can be the change you wish to see in this world

 

expect ethereal energy to begin flowing around 10:29 pm est saturday, when the moon wades into neptune-ruled water sign pisces. sensitivities can run high with the moon in pisces. over the weekend, you might consider using this energy to anchor into heart-to-heart connections with loved ones, or your own inner knowings. you might also consider channeling this superpower sensitivity into a creative project, journalling, or simply swimming in the waves of your imagination. romantize everything! go with the flow! as always, the choice is yours
