The New Moon in Capricorn will take place on January 11 at 3:57 AM Pacific Standard Time and 6:57 AM Eastern Standard Time. It is the first New Moon of 2024, and it presents an excellent opportunity to start visualizing goals and taking incentive to create opportunities for the year. The New Moon happens to occur with 1/11, which numerologically signifies 111, a time of hope, fresh starts, and the power to embrace our dreams. This is a cosmic moment when the universe is giving us a chance to make significant changes in our lives that we have long desired, as well as inspiring us to evolve.

With Uranus, the wild card planet of the zodiac, moonwalking in Taurus, and Neptune, the visionary, currently in Pisces, this lunation aspect presents an opportunity to explore unconventional ways in manifesting our deepest desires. By thinking outside the box, we can transform our dreams into reality. This is the time to tap into our purest and most raw desires and channel them into something tangible. We might be moved to create something that gives hope to others and allows them to grow. The Nodes of Fate square the New Moon, urging us to step up and do the work that is required of us to move towards enlightenment — also, our calling and destiny.

The asteroids Juno (fairness) and Pallas (wisdom) aspect the New Moon. The dwarf planet Eris (desire), centaur Chiron (teacher and healer), and Black Moon Lilith (mystic and rebel) also connect with the New Moon. These energies combined with the fixed star Dheneb, allow us to evoke and awaken our passions in an effort to cultivate projects that speak to us on a soulful and spiritual level. Therefore, it's our time to manifest greatness!

 

WHAT TO MANIFEST DURING THE NEW MOON?

New Moons are a time of new beginnings, which is why it's best to start with a way to cleanse our auras to bring freshness, excitement, and inventiveness to our lives. Light a red candle to evoke your desires and write your aspirations on a bay leaf (they are amazing to help manifest wishes and creativity, as well as attract positive energy) with a permanent marker. Then, light the bay leaf on fire with the candle to bring your hopes to fruition.
