December 2022: new moon in Capricorn
Tarot spread, journaling questions, an astro-tarot forecast and an exploration of the the Sabian symbol for this new moon.
As we approach the end of 2022, I want to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me on the Numinous Stardust. I hope these moon by moon astro-tarot forecasts and tarot spreads have been helping you to check in with yourselves and keeping you aligned with your beautiful goals and dreams.
To help you with your new year planning, you will find links to the Visioning Workbook and a year ahead tarot spread included in this month’s new moon write-up.
The Visioning Workbook is designed to help you to reflect on the year gone by, choose a word of the year, and set some intentions and plans for the year ahead.
The year ahead tarot spread is not your standard 12 or 13 card spread. This gloriously big, messy, juicy spread combines oracle and tarot cards, and can be easily tailored to your tastes and your own unique oracle card collection.
I hope that these resources serve you well.
And now, for a couple of creative invitations:
For all the artists and creatives out there, I’d like to extend an invitation to a Solstice Painting Party hosted by my art mentor, Effy Wild, tomorrow. This is a free, live event {with a replay available} that you can sign up for here.
Planner aficionados, you will absolutely LOVE the Sweet Thrash Journal workshop coming up in January. “Smash” in all of your art, written journaling and photographs, along with your planner, life documentation, and more right into one gorgeous journal. You’ll start with a cheapo composition notebook, that slowly turns into treasure as it ‘blooms’ with everything you smash into it! Effy’s running a live 3-day workshop {with lifetime access to replays} in January. If journaling, planning, and life documentation are your thing, or you’ve been wanting to start, you won’t want to miss this! Check it out here.
Wish you and your loved ones a beautiful holiday season, and I’ll see you here again next year! {Scroll on down for the Capricorn new moon write-up.}

Shinjini
The December 2022 new moon falls in the sign of Capricorn. Symbolized by the mountain goat, which maintains perfect balance while it climbs over precarious rock ledges, the Capricorn archetype is one of disciplined and dogged determination towards the attainment of our worldly desires.
This new moon also highlights our sense of purpose and belonging. The ways in which we show up for ourselves and others. The things, great or small, that we accomplish for ourselves or within the wider world. It also highlights our partnerships — the people and ideas we collaborate and partner with, learn from, create with.
To throw some more light on the December new moon astrology, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The Capricorn full moon falls in decan 1, which is represented by the Two of Pentacles. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with The Devil, which is associated with Capricorn.
You’ll find the tarot spread and journaling questions, as well as links to the Visioning workbook and year-ahead reading on the website.
An invitation for a year of art witchery & community
Are you interested in learning art witchery, establishing your own art witch practice, and using mixed media art as a spiritual tool? Join me on Moonshine 2023 - a year-long journey into the realm of moon-based art witchery in all its glorious forms, hosted by Effy Wild!
You will be joining a coven of art witches, some of whom {including me} have been in the program since its inception in this format six years ago!
Here’s what you get:
Membership in this year’s Moonshine Coven + Lifetime membership in Moonshine Cafe (both on Facebook).
Lifetime access to the course materials.
A monthly PDF of written musings, including an art witch primer with suggested activities and resources that, when collected over the course of the year, forms a complete training system in art witchery. Included within the course materials are art witch tips, new essential oil blends, astro-tarot forecasts, oracle reading layouts, herbal lore and crystal lore.
A full-length monthly painting tutorial (downloadable video + PDF walkthrough).
Documentation for each full and new moon, both of which include astro-tarot forecasts and oracle reading layouts.
A new painting demonstration for the new moon (filmed live on Zoom so we can paint together + offered as a downloadable replay for those who can’t attend live).
A new painting demonstration for the full moon (offered as a downloadable pre-recorded speed painting) with notes on how I’m engaging the current energies.
A live activation gathering on Zoom in the first week of the month (also offered as a downloadable replay). In these gatherings, we read the content together, do Q&A, check-ins and draw a tarot card to establish our ‘coven work’ (optional) for the month.
A coupon code for $90 off for next year’s Moonshine 2024.
This experience is meant to give you deep training in art witchery AND mixed media art as a spiritual tool with an emphasis on establishing your own art witch practice based on thorough, scaffolded guidance that will get you sound, self-possessed, and in pursuit of your most deeply held desired outcomes.
