What really matters in life

As a new order of things emerges, we focus on values ​​and relationships that will effectively provide support, progress, quality and substance in life.

How the distillation of past experiences can become the foundation for our goals and enhance our self-esteem.

What is the value of confirmation, recognition and social acceptance in our relationships and personal goals.

This New Moon is particularly significant as it is in conjunction with Venus, and is the first New Moon in Capricorn after Saturn’s Ingress in this sign. Venus has to do our values, what we love, how we relate, how we evaluate, and Saturn with structures and the time we invest to build or support them. This Lunar Cycle will emphasise the theme of how we invest on what is of value. This concurrence marks a new beginning that will not only describe the next 29 days, but also highlights the importance of Saturn’s current transit in our lives; the results of which will be assessed in 2020. The last degrees of any sign are about the completion of a field of experience and expression, and here at the same time we observe the birth of an intention that coordinates us with the final phase of a process. We realize that some things have served a purpose, and now there is a distillation that predisposes for changes that either enter our lives or should be cultivated by us. Continue reading
