#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: `In the veneration of the #NewMoon for protection we can see the admixture of old pagan beliefs with Christianity. A seventeenth century German writer wrote: “The wild Irish have this custom, that when the moon is new they squat upon their knees and pray to the moon that it may leave them vigorous and healthy.`

Today’s New Moon in Capricorn forms a Mystic Rectangle with the Lunar Nodes, emphasizing the need for patience as we learn to navigate the collapse of old structures this winter and prepare to seed a new reality with the spring.

The New Moon in Capricorn encourages us to ground our feelings in what is practical, recognizing our limitations and resting in the Lunar darkness, so that our bodies can go the distance when we need to. We can’t make real progress on our long-term goals if we are worn out and despairing. This darkness too, shall pass.

My friend and fellow astrologer Liz Muschett brought me back on her show The Astrology Star Sisters to talk about it all. Please give us a listen and let us know what you think!

From the Inked Grimoire:
New Moon in Capricorn – January 18, 2026

Welcome to the first New Moon of the year! Capricorn is the workhorse of the Zodiac: ambitious, grounded, focused, and unafraid of hard work.

#NewMoon #Capricorn #Goals

🌓 Reflections:

- Where am I tempted to accept confusion because it avoids a harder truth?

- What agreement needs a definition before I keep investing energy?

- What routine keeps me calm when conditions change?

Tend the flame. Don’t feed the fog.

The cool thing about it being The Darkest Time is that it can only get brighter.

#Solstice #NewMoon

There's such a tiny sliver of New Moon above the western horizon in the fading light! I'm glad I was here to see it, rather than out running errands. 🌚

(I mean, I still need to run at least 1 or 2. But I'm so glad to have seen this.)
