A new moon is always a powerful moment in astrology. It’s when you may find yourself letting go of things you’re no longer responsible for and releasing yourself from so much negativity. It’s also when you might notice that another adventure is just beginning. After all, a new moon is the starting point of the 28-day lunar cycle. As the moon rests behind the shadow of night, it gives you an opportunity to simply contemplate where you stand and begin planting the seeds for something new. Sometimes, a new moon can represent a major turning point in your life. And if you’re one of the zodiac signs who will be affected by the January 2022 new moon in Capricorn the most — Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn — then you’ll want to take full advantage of this opportunity.

2022 has only just begun and it’s already promising you a whole new start. The next new moon takes place on Jan. 2 at 1:33 p.m. ET, paving the way for a journey that is both serious and rewarding. After all, the upcoming new moon takes place in practical, realistic, and hardworking Capricorn. This cardinal earth sign is all about recognizing what needs to be done and forming a plan that will help you get there. Set some guidelines, acquire your materials, assemble a team, and stay dedicated. With a solid blueprint to work with, what can’t you accomplish? Even the tallest mountain can be scaled with enough discipline, and with the energy of this new moon bolstering you toward success, you’re already getting a head start.

If you happen to be a cardinal sign, this new moon will be especially meaningful for you. Here’s why:

You can’t expect your relationships to be perfect, but you can use this new moon to improve them substantially. This new moon will reveal the patterns that have been leading you toward more drama than it’s worth. It will also give you the courage to work on letting go of these patterns and work toward creating relationships that leave you feeling fulfilled in your heart and supported in your dreams.

Libra: You’re Nesting And Nurturing Your Sacred Space

If your home doesn’t feel like a safe place, that lack of support has the power to negatively impact every other aspect of your life.
