• It is very powerful to set intentions within 8 hours AFTER the new moon (after the new moon occurs). Within 48 hours is still powerful.
• Write up to 10 intentions (any more than that and the energy gets kind of displaced).
• It is best to hand write them (vs type)
• Each month, the new moon is ruled by a different astrological sign which rules certain aspects of life. Writing intentions in these areas is very powerful but you can write your intentions in ANY area of your life.
• Write your intentions in the positive… In other words, state what you want (don’t say what you don’t want or may just get that!).

• Inventions, including: innovative ideas, brilliance, eccentricity, understanding how things work
• The Future, including: new trends and unconventional approaches, high technology, long-range goals, following your heart’s desire
• Humanitarianism, including: seeking outcomes that are good for everyone involved, identification with humankind, interest in others, operating from a larger worldview 
• Revelations, including: excitement, unexpected results, surprises, revitalizing experiences, freedom
• The Big Picture, including: objectivity, seeking knowledge, tools of divination (astrology, numerology, tarot, I Ching, etc.), humor, manifesting dreams
• Friendship, including: friends, groups, networking, open/friendly approaches, forthrightness, giving and receiving platonic love
• Detachment, including: cold aloofness, fear of involvement, erratic or shocking behavior, inflexible opinions
• In matters of health, Aquarius rules: ankles and calves, circulation, cramps and spasms, and varicose veins

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
