“Don’t just tell me your dreams show me.”
Wisdom Body Notes for Dec. 29-Jan. 10 by Samantha Cameron
This year ends poetically with a ‘Black Moon’ holding much synchronistic information, guidance, and ‘dark offerings’ that illuminate the coming year. Its Black title simply refers to it as being the second New Moon in a calendar month. We began December under a fiery New Moon in Sagittarius. We end December with the Moon in earthy Capricorn, asking for boundaries and structures of power re-do in step by practical step practices. The fire fills us with passion and inspiration. The earth demands we proceed in a grounded, practical fashion. We also began last year, on 1/11/14 under a Capricorn New Moon, connected to chaotic, revolutionary, disruptive Uranus, and the karmic nodes that challenge us to choose the right path. Sound about right to you?
As with all New Moons, we are offered ‘threshold energies’ to integrate into coming 28 days. Visualize the imagery of the Moon (the feminine, the emotional body) as black, a non-color in a dark sky, a void waiting for potential to fill. Does this offer you a deeper calling? As this new moon is also ‘out of bounds,’ meaning she plays by her own rules. Perhaps offering us a synchronistic moment to ask ourselves what rules are we playing by? Who set those rules in place? You know that new moons are a time to plant seeds of intention, to slow down and sit within the dark, visualizing the creative light you wish to bring into the world. They are thresholds for planning and listening to dreams. This Capricorn birth, dark as she is, offers a ‘sacred geometry’ of support and enlightenment to use in 2025. Take time to sit with seeds of intention, held in your palms, at your heart so that you might breathe life into bigger dreams of possibility. Out of this year’s struggle, frustrations and disappointments, you have created new muscle for wholeness, with intentional power and courage to execute from greater empathy As this New Moon heralds New Year intentions, its pivotal timing asks we pay greater attention to formulating dreams, visualizing them from ‘the meta and the minor.’ (From the unseen metaphysical to practical daily habits.)
Capricorn, and its ruler, Saturn, inform us to take on challenges to climb unknown peaks, perhaps in partnership with Capricorn’s symbolic Mountain Goat guidance. The job is to advance, be successful, and discover what is really important to us. Consider if you have been following instructions that do not work for you; that what is correct for someone else is not good for you. Saturn, known as ‘father time or the grim reaper,’ reminds us to get to it – as our time on earth is limited, and we took birth to achieve something. It’s a powerful time to charge spiritual batteries and dream a higher potential.
Saturn deals with reality and materiality, but during his journey through the watery mysteries of Pisces, from 3/7/23 ~ 5/24/25, he brings metaphysical reality into greater use. You may have noticed that you are more open to visualization, meditation, intuition and the creativity of ‘altered states.’ While Saturn transits these spiritual waters, he weaves reality into the sacred and subtle, offering opportunity to release fears of working with the unknown/unseen ‘meta world’. Saturn asks we become our own authority, but in Pisces this ask includes releasing wounds of martyrdom, addiction, and blame in order to be our own best boss.
Arriving at the perfect moment of ‘NOW’ is the wounded healer, Chiron in a ‘stop-station’ of influence. Its move forward beneath the black ‘out of bounds’ moon infuses opportunity with healing possibilities. As both an asteroid and a comet, Chiron symbolizes a bridge between the spiritual and physical, human and nature, instinct and reason. It is like Yoga in being a bridge, a ‘yuj’ that connects. (The meaning of the word “Yoga” is “union”- derived from the Sanskrit root “yuj,” (pron. “yug”) meaning to join.). Chiron’s bridge connects to our shadow, our childhood wounds asking for healing. While it has been retrograde in Aires, signature of the warrior, it has called us to grow more courageous, to accept our warrior self, to own our power and use it advisedly, not over others, rather over Self. This fits in perfectly to the birth of the Moon in Capricorn as both ask us to reclaim and re-define Self, to expand heart-goals, and honor life experience. Chiron asks we use the muscle built from despair to lead us onward with strength ~ to become healers, teachers, and philosophers.
Adding yet more complexity and collaboration to this rebirth is the asteroid Pallas, as well as fixed star Facies, and centaur Pholus, all of whom embrace this lunation! This is a lot of energy to pour into the earth’s new birth, as well as energy to support our own re-birth. Pallas was one of Jupiter’s daughters, ranking second in power to him. In legend, she sprang fully formed from his head, carrying the feminine powers of creativity, wisdom and healing. She is often shown in full armor holding an owl and a snake. (Wisdom and transformation). As 2025 is the year of the snake, how synchronistic to invite Pallas in, armor up, grab our owlish wisdom and transformative powers to march into the unknown.
The fixed star Facies is ancient, located near the center of the Milky Way, and known to the Persians, Egyptians, and Sumerians who considered it a star of ambition, and focus. Because it is in the constellations of Sagittarius, there is a need to not only be ambitious but aim beyond what is, going for a higher truth. (This information is thanks to Stephanie Austin, With the new moon at 9 degrees Capricorn, She also conjuncts the centaur Pholus, known for unexpected revelations. This centaur reveals abuse and deceit, therefore like Saturn, signals the need for resilient boundaries, especially emotional ones.
This now not so quiet New Moon lasts a very short time as on Jan. 3rd it runs into the passionate mayhem of Mars opposing Pluto. Whenever these two confront we often have ‘bully-boy’ face offs of anger, unconscious frustration, and fear. They are the major/Pluto, and minor/Mars, expressions of wounding that all too often trigger bad behavior. But it doesn’t have to be violent! We always have choice, and this wildly energetic face off also offers support of new intentions, fearless choices and determined hopes ‘to do the right thing.’ It is also an opportune time to review our unconscious patterns of fear and fury. Is there a pattern to our over-reacting? Can we recalibrate the reactions to responses? Can we see old programming of unconscious fears and open them to the light of consciousness? Do we always understand our motivation? With Mars retrograde in fiery, creative Leo, finding ways to express joyfully, and share with friends is the high road for this ‘excessive face off.’
