How To Use The First New Moon Of The Year To Manifest An Epic 2022

Add heavy doses of innovation to the game plan! This new moon trines genius Uranus, calling for out-of-the-box solutions that could change the world. 

One caveat: While you're speculating on all those "wouldn't it be crazy if…" ideas, remember that they still do have to abide by the laws of physics and our material universe. You don't have to be the buzzkill in the room, telling people that their dreamy new moon wishes will never work. But do plan to run every disruptive idea through a set of tests before you go live with them.

If at first you don't succeed, then try another method for achieving your result! Unassailable Capricorn is symbolized by the persistent Sea Goat tirelessly forging up the mountain—or diving underwater to pull up magical and visionary ideas. None of this is easy, but the end justifies the means.

Fittingly, it can take some righteous fortitude to get through Capricorn season (December 21 to January 19): recovering from the holiday hangovers, the lack of sunlight, the buzzkill of having to get back down to business after all the celebrations. Thankfully, the grounding earth sign energy of the 2022 Capricorn new moon keeps you focused and determined.

Just don't get frustrated if creative efforts don't immediately draw a round of funding or millions of TikTok followers. Instead, use this lunar lift to tighten up your game plan and ensure that you're building plans on a stable foundation. Even if the project you're working on has no end in sight, keep your eye on its long-term gains. And when the job is eventually finished, be sure to reward yourself for all your hustle.

Capricorn is the eldest of the three earth signs (a trio that also includes Taurus and Virgo), and these moonbeams sound a wake-up call to conserve and protect natural resources—especially after the holiday season's waste and excess. Climate change assessments continue to underscore the urgent need for large-scale change.

Remember that there are things you can do to cool down your corner of the planet like eating a (more) plant-based diet, walking or biking instead of driving everywhere, and—since refrigeration is a top climate destabilizer—running the air conditioner as little as possible (if at all) during hot months.

In the race to the top, Capricorn is the marathon runner, not the sprinter. Instead of stressing over the little things, try taking the long view. Envision where you'd like to be this time next year. Working backward, start jotting down the simple, practical steps you'll need to take to make this dream a reality. Then, appoint yourself the CEO of your life and get busy on your "business plan." And how about a vision board to go along with that?
