The First New Moon of 2024 Is Here

On January 11, 06:57 AM EST, we experience a New Moon at in Capricorn, the first New Moon of 2024. This event offers us an opportunity to get clear about our visions, intentions, and aspirations for the year that just started. New Moons are for setting intentions and goals to manifest. The Capricorn New Moon marks a powerful time to begin building and creating something we aspire to keep developing for the years to come. The powerful energy of the new moon is thought to heighten the manifesting power of one’s intentions and desires. In recent times, a lot of successful people have manifested career advancements, harmonious relationships, and improved health on the new moon day.

The start of the year can bring up many emotions, including pressure to declare resolutions. As you work with new Moon in Capricorn energy, know that it is an opportunity to form a lifestyle for yourself that holds space for your visions to evolve. Nothing is carved in stone and you are free to change your intentions at any point. You do not need to have it all figured out right now. Just focus on how you want to feel over the next year, and the details will fall into place.

Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is the steadfast sea goat who can traverse any land or sea. This energy reminds us that with the right focus and determination, we can accomplish anything. Nothing is out of our limits. Throughout its season, Capricorn inspires us to commit fully to everything we do and can set the tone for the next twelve months. Capricorn is all about commitment and focus. Direct your energy to your mission every day. Even if it’s something small, do something each day to recommit yourself and remind your energy what it is focusing on. Capricorn teaches us that one of the most important pieces of remaining focused is learning to say no to distractions. The most important aspect of this season is to find and commit to what is worth your energy. We all have a mission or purpose in this lifetime. The soul knows when it has found alignment. We know what alignment feels like, and we know how it feels to lose it. This season is about finding what aligns most with your soul. It’s about finding your life’s work and committing to it each day, no matter what other distractions come your way.

Traditionally, Capricorn is associated with our career. This energy, though, is so much more than what we do for a paycheck. It’s about finding the great work our souls were put on this earth to find. It’s about our legacies and what we will be known for after our physical bodies are long gone. It’s about finding the work that merges body, heart, mind, and spirit. This work may take the form of a career, but it may also be a hobby, raising a child, or volunteering for something you believe in. Your life’s work can take many forms, but no matter what shape it takes, it feels good to your soul. It does not feel limiting, confining, or dull. It feels exciting, freeing, and motivating. Yes, at times, your life’s work will need a hit of inspiration. It will always feel like you are exactly where you’re meant to be. It will always feel aligned with your core essence and energy.

Finding our life’s work can take years. Unfortunately, most of us were not taught to pursue it. It requires experimentation on our part and the courage to take some leaps of faith. These leaps are strengthened by our resolve and deep trust in ourselves. This trust is cultivated through hearing our intuition and following our inner compass. Capricorn is the sign of solitude. It encourages us to go inward this season and spend time alone. It’s in this space where we can truly hear our hearts and inner knowing without the influence of others.

Most of this change occurs through daily explorations of feelings, thoughts, and energy. Furthermore, this is ultimately what we want—small shifts that we can process, integrate, and solidify. When we change too much too quickly, it can rattle our systems. Consequently, some of those changes don’t take hold permanently.

New Moon Affirmation: I cleanse myself front and back, I cleanse myself front and back. I release the energy of the year gone by. I release the energy of the year gone by. I open myself to receive. I open myself to receive. Many blessings are now coming my way. Many blessings are now coming my way. I am one with myself. I am one with the Universe. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” As I make this commitment, the confidence, strength, and wisdom I need to follow through on it slowly filters into my being. I ask to remain open to the solutions, next steps, and actions needed to solidify this commitment in my life. I ask to be gentle with myself in the process.”

Now write down your new moon manifestation

I am ready to commit to (                                                                               ).

What are Abundance Checks? 

Abundance checks are a tool we can use to create more abundance in our lives. They are written within 24 hours after a New Moon.  Surprisingly, you really don’t even need to believe that the check will work when you write it. You will however be amazed at the results, as you will see increased abundance in your life, in some life area. It is not always financial, but certainly in an area that you need.  Abundance is so much more than ‘money’. Perhaps a friend invites you to lunch and pays. Perhaps you are at lunch with a friend and they offer their expert advice on some area of your life. These are simple examples of Abundance. Abundance comes in many forms.  Be GRATEFUL for all that comes into your life. 

There is a traditional manner, which has been handed down. If you do not have a checking account you can draw a check on a piece of paper and fill it out the same way – the results will be the same, more abundance for you. New Moon Abundance check writing is a ritual for manifesting, using the energy of the New Moon each month along with Astrology and the house the new moon touches on for you!  This ritual has been handed down through so many people that its origin has become unknown. 

Write the check for whatever you want to manifest.
