New Moon in Capricorn - December 26, 2019

New Moon in Capricorn - December 26, 2019

December’s new moon in Capricorn is a clue from the universe to prepare yourself for an energy boost toward working on yourself and your goals. This is the moon to use for working to mature in many ways, organize your life and goals, take responsibility for your life and goals and allow your ambition to run a little wild.

This moon is connected to Jupiter, so expect luck, growth and expansion to be part of the energy you are working with.

If you worked with shedding baggage and blocks during the December Cold Moon, then you will now see how to fill in those spaces you created in your journey. You’ll want to prepare yourself for all of these things as well as the energy found at the end of this year.

Expect to be busy with projects and goals during this new moon, while building toward the next steps in these areas. Remember to take time for self-care so you don’t wear yourself out before you’re finished with the work.

Keep success at the forefront of your mind and it will be yours. That’s what this moon is about, bringing success to fruition in your life.

Crystal Grid for the New Moon and Success

You will need:

Aventurine for Opportunity

Sodalite for Truth

Citrine for Success

Clear Quartz for Amplification

Rose Aura Quartz for Mood Lifting

Green Fluorite for Stabilization

Tiger’s Eye for Protection

I’ve done a more free form grid for this moon. Arrange your stones however they speak to you. I like circles, but you can truly make your grid any shape you like.

Once you’ve completed your grid, don’t forget to empower it and energize it. The photo below is of my empowered grid for success, wealth, and abundance. If you can’t make a grid of your own for whatever reason, please feel free to use mine. Add your energy and intent to the photo and use it in place of a physical grid.

Finished Grid

As you can see, I’ve placed a clear quartz point at the center and along the center line. All of the points are pointing into the center to bring these energies into your life. The Rose Aura Quartz is the rest of the inner circle. The next circle alternates citrine and tiger’s eye with the sodalite finishing out the center line. The outer ring alternates aventurine with fluorite.

I recommend setting up your grid the night of the new moon and leaving it up until the next full moon so it can continue to work while you act in alignment.

Full Moon in Gemini - December 12, 2019

Full Moon in Gemini - December 12, 2019

The full moon in Gemini for the December Cold Moon will occur at 12:12 am on 12/12/19. This will be an emotional rollercoaster kind of full moon with the emotional baggage and clock clearing energy it carries. Be ready to be unsettled and emotional. Prepare for the moon by deciding what you want to leave behind when it’s over. It’s key to be prepared and ready to shed whatever is no longer serving you because this Full Moon is also about expansion. You need to make room for all the great things you are bringing to your life in this cycle.

I recommend using the Full Moon Worksheet I’ve prepared for you to help you stay focused on what you want to use the energy for during your ritual. I offer two free worksheets for working with the New and Full moon. Please click HERE if you’d like to get these free worksheets.

For this full moon, I prepared a crystal grid to help me release the blockages and baggage that will be so energetically active during this full moon.

Full Moon Crystal Grid

You will need

Amethyst for releasing emotional baggage

Aquamarine for calm reflection

Blue Topaz for confidence while working through emotional baggage

Citrine for releasing negativity

Rainbow Moonstone for easing pain

Rose quartz for releasing fear and resentment

Kunzite for removing blockages

I used the Seed of Life with Star of David Grid for this grid. I have very little space in my home right now so, I’ve been using this grid, inside a cigar box, to keep the grids from being disturbed while they work. You can, of course, use whatever grid you like to make yours.

What to Do

The amethyst is in the center, then the aquamarine is placed above and below it. I only own two small pieces of aquamarine, so if you have more, use them!

I then filled that circle with pieces of blue topaz. Yes, they’re tiny (they came from one of those gemstone bottles you can get at touristy places), but the size or perfection of a stone doesn’t affect the efficacy of the energy in it.

The next circle alternates rainbow moonstone with citrine.

The outside edge alternates rose quartz and kunzite.

The next step is to empower your grid with your purpose and intent. This is why the worksheets are so helpful. They’ll help you plan out your purpose and intent before you begin your work.

If you are unfamiliar with empowering grids, objects or stones, I do offer a FREE mini course called Energy Work for Everyone. If you’d like to enroll in this course, please click HERE. There’s no catch and no cost. Just click the link and fill in your name and email address. You’ll receive the link to the course in your email within a few minutes.

Once the grid is empowered, I do recommend sitting it where it can be in the moonlight over night, but this is not critical to your success.

Your next step, then, is to take action. Go back to the Full Moon Worksheet and review your action steps. What will you DO to take action on your goals and purpose? Remember, a goal without action is just a wish.

Set your grid where it won’t be disturbed until you dismantle it at the next new moon.

Crystal Journey Visualization

I also recorded a crystal journey visualization to help you shed your baggage. You can find it on my Podcast in the the first episode.

Full Moon Banishing Crystal Grid

Full Moon Banishing Crystal Grid

The Crystal Grid

I created a crystal grid with black tourmaline, black onyx, smokey quartz, hematite, clear quartz, pyrite, and copper. I used the Seed of Life with Star of David Grid for this crystal grid. I alternated the black tourmaline and onyx on the outside points with copper in between each of those. The next circle is hematite. The next circle is clear quartz points, facing out of the grid. The center is a ring of pyrite under a center stone of smokey quartz.

I chose these stones for their ability to repel and clear negative energies. The copper was added to boost the power of the grid, and the pyrite added to bring prosperity and positive energy in after the negative has been banished.

The weird shadow on the left is from the cigar box I am using as a temporary altar. Our last move put us in a very small space and I haven’t found an appropriate space to set up my altar and grids. It’s just a reminder to me that no matter what, magic works when you invest in it. Just because the situation isn’t perfect, don’t let that make you feel like your magic is less than perfect.

The Ritual

I charged the grid, empowering it with the energy to reduce negative energy and influences, making room for positive energy and outcomes.

You can use this grid by sitting with the photo and allowing the energy to flow from it into your own life.

If you'd like to add your energy to this work, here is the incantation I used.

As the Full Moon wanes, so too will the negative energies and influences wane from my life. As the negative energies and influences wane from my life, those spaces will be filled with positive energies and outcomes. As I will it, so shall it be.

Repeat the incantation once each day before you go to bed for the three days of the Full Moon. Envision all the negative and stressful things in your life flowing like water down a hill, away from you. Then picture those places where the negative energy used to be, filling up with positive things.
