HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The new moon is a super-charged day (astrologically speaking) to write down your  intentions/wishes/goals for the month ahead as everything starts ‘anew.’

This month’s new moon is in CAPRICORN. For those of you in the Pacific time zone, it occurs tonight, Thursday, Jan. 14, 2010 at 11:12 pm PST. For those of you in the Central and Eastern time zones, it occurs tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 15, 2010 at 1:12 am CST and 2:12 am EST.

Since many of you reading this are focused on career and life success, use this day to pause and write down what it is you want to achieve. Even if you don’t believe in astrology, the new moon is a good reminder for us all to do a ‘monthly renewal’ or ‘check-up’ on your goals and dreams.

This month’s new moon is important for two reasons: 1.) It’s the start of the New Year and Capricorn emphasizes new beginnings and, 2.) This month’s new moon is combined with a solar eclipse, which makes it an even more powerful time to write down your goals and wishes. Since Mercury is retrograde, be careful to make sure your goals and what you really want and that you want to keep them written down (be clear).

A few tips…

• It is most powerful to write your intentions within the first 8 hours (the 8 hours after the new moon) but they are still strong within the first 48 hours.
• You can write up to 10 intentions… Any more than that and the energy gets a bit ‘displaced’ or ‘watered down’
• It’s most powerful to hand write them (vs type them or think about them)
• Remember to state them in the positive (in other words, don’t write about what you *don’t* want or you’ll get that faster than you can say ‘don’t').
• It is powerful to write new moon intentions in the area that has the ruling sign that month (i.e. – Capricorn) but you can write new moon intentions for any area of your life so don’t feel limited.

I get all of this info from a great book/author called: “New Moon Astrology” by Jan Spiller.  She also has a website that details more of her thoughts on this month’s new moon at: http://www.janspiller.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1865 (it has more details on powerful times to write your intentions).

You can write new moon intentions in ANY area of your life. However, as we move into the various astrological signs, each sign emphasizes certain areas of life. So, if you want to write new moon intentions in the follow areas, it’s a powerful time to do so.

Capricorn rules:

• Future needs, including: time, making decisions, maturity, retirement, old age
• Responsibility, including: self-discipline, adult behavior, keeping commitments, competency, public image
• Goals, including: ambition, defining goals, using opportunities, professions, hard work
• Success, including: accomplishments, recognition, social status, achieving goals
• Management, including: following protocol, delegating responsibility, being in charge, respect
• Authortiy, including: fathers, bosses and other authority figures, tradition, reputation
• Excessive Contnrol, incluing: lack of joy, sternness, fear of new approaches, pessimism, inflexibility, self-justification
• In matters of restoring health, Capricorn rules: bones and joints, arthritis and rheumatism, gall bladders and gallstones, knees, skin, psoriasis and itching

May this be a wonderful year filled with lots of success!

As we all start a new year, we often stop to assess our success in the various areas of our life: health, family, friends, finances, home, and career.  While everyone has mixed feelings on ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ and whether they work for them and/or whether they create the results they want, I do believe the new year is an opportunity for everyone, worldwide, to stop, take a breather, and to re-energize their efforts to create lasting success.

As a Career Coach, I’m always talking to people about what makes them happy, unhappy, passionate, frustrated, successful, lethargic, etc. when it comes to career.  Career is such a central part of our life. Whether we work for someone else or work in our own business, it is something that not only fulfills our financial needs but also gives us a sense of ‘being in the world’ through providing a service and/or product that impacts others.

As you head into 2010, ask yourself:

• What am I doing to ensure my career feels passionate, successful, results-oriented, connected, meaningful?
• What am I doing to make sure I’m living a balanced and healthy life (so that ‘work’ doesn’t take over in an imbalanced manner)?
• What’s next for me in my career success (next quarter, next year, next 3-years, next 5-years, next 10-years, and beyond)?
• What is going well (really well) in my career and what is not going so well and may need attention? Why?
• What resources and tools do I have to ensure continued career success and satisfaction?

These are some questions that will help to get focused and gain clarity with the goal of ensuring more and more success over the coming months and years in your career.  We all know the saying, “If you don’t know where you’re going, how are you going to get there?”… make sure you super charge your efforts to have a clear course.

I often find that folks who are clear with themselves about what they really want, tend to achieve it. My theory is that they, “put it out there” so they are more likely to attract opportunities that match what they want and/or they are more likely to recognize the opportunities when they present themselves. Either way, clarity is when the magic happens.

Let me know if I can help you in your career success in 2010 and beyond! Here are some New Year packages I put together to help you ‘Get Your Career In Gear For the New Year‘.

As always, I welcome your questions and comments.
