January 2022: New moon in Capricorn
Tarot spread, journaling questions, an astro-tarot forecast and an exploration of the the Sabian symbol, as well as some resources for this new moon.
Hello loves,
Wish you a very happy new year! I hope you had a beautiful holiday season with your loved ones, and had some time to relax and unwind before the turn of the calendar.
Here’s the write-up + tarot spread for the first new moon of the new year.
The January 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 the home and hearth — both physical and psychic. Coming right on the heels of the turn of the calendar, this new moon is a good time to set some practices that will support and nurture you through the year.
Also look at how you can fluff up your spaces to make them feel more nurturing and calming. Family ties, and relationships with friends and loved ones also get a sweet boost with this new moon.
To throw some more light on the January new moon astrology, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The Capricorn full moon falls in decan 2, which is represented by the Three of Pentacles. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with The Devil, which is associated with Capricorn.
Are you joining me on Book of Days 2022?
The very first lessons of Book of Days have released — and boy, they absolutely luscious! This year long mixed media art journaling deep dive is hosted by my mentor, the wonderful Effy Wild.
In the year that we’ll spend together, we will focus on all the ways that working with journal art can enrich and enhance our lives. The lessons are suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced journal artists, and will help you create and maintain a nourishing practice of meeting yourself on the page.
Every month, you will get:
two in-depth art journal lessons from guest teachers on Book of Days
one full-length journal art tutorial from Effy Wild OR an invitation to join her live on the 15th of the month for a painty party.
a beautiful full-color printable workbook filled with prompts designed to be engaged in a written OR art journal
As part of this course, you will also have access to:
The Journal Jam Permanent Replay Archive: an ever-growing library of Effy's mixed media art journaling demonstrations
Book Of Days Boot Camp: an intensive immersion in mixed media art journaling
and more!
As a self-taught artist with no previous art experience {not even art classes as a child!}, I was very lucky to find a handful of art teachers who had a massive impact on my art journey. Effy is one of them.
I've been part of her community almost since the start of my own artist's journey, back in 2013/2014. Since then, I've taken at least one of Effy's courses almost every year. Her style of teaching gave me the confidence to be bold; to be willing to experiment, make mistakes, and try again; to take a set of instructions and interpret them in my own way.
No matter where you are on your art journey, I'm confident that this course will help you grow tremendously as an artist. Effy's focus on ‘process’ over ‘product’ is what helped me to experiment fearlessly, while building the skills and learning the techniques that enabled me to create a body of work that I am proud of.
To sum up, the class includes lessons from 25 artists {including one writing coach} + over 33 lessons + monthly workbooks + three live Zoom gatherings with Effy.
Oh, and all of this comes with lifetime access.
I hope to see you in the classroom!
