Are you feeling ready to set some new intentions ready for 2023?
There is an exciting surge of planetary energy in store this month of December, as the final weeks of 2022 come to a close.
We have the Winter Solstice fast approaching on the 21st December, followed in quick succession by a Super New Moon in Capricorn on the 23rd.
Both occasions are perfect for some deep reflection and healing, as well as a chance to start creating the future that lies ahead of you in 2023.
The Winter Solstice means the sun is leaving the vibrance and dynamism of Sagittarius season behind, and rooting itself in the grounded, determined sign of Capricorn.
The Winter solstice is officially the shortest day of the year and the first day of Winter (in the Northern Hemisphere).
In the Southern Hemisphere, this date marks the longest day and the first day of Summer.
Depending on where you live, you will be reflecting upon the darkness of the shortest day of the year, or celebrating the light of the longest day.
But no matter your geographical location, the Solstice marks the occasion when our planet releases potent energy, creating a magical moment for all of us to connect to the energies of the Earth.
The Pagans and Celts saw deep spiritual meaning in this transformational time of year which they called Yule.
They paid tribute to the energy of the Goddess (Moon), believing that the light would always return with the rebirth of the sun.
We can see this reflected in our own soul journeys through life.
Just as the days following the Winter Solstice grow gradually lighter as they lengthen, we too are always given the chance to open ourselves to more light.
The cycles of nature show us that there is always a chance to begin again, no matter how dark things may have gotten.
The planet of abundance and positivity, Jupiter is also very active around the Solstice.
It moves into Aries on December 20th, where it remains for the majority of 2023.
That’s great news as it represents huge potential for new beginnings, positive fresh starts, expansion and wiping the slate clean for the year ahead!
Jupiter in that cosmic placement also magnifies the Solstice magic for all of us, increasing those special vibes and setting the tone for an atmosphere of sheer abundance and deep expansion.
By the time we have this powerful New Moon in Capricorn on December 23rd, the scene is very much set for wonderful new beginnings to take place.
The energy of Capricorn is all about goal-setting and making long-term plans for the future.
It’s truly the best sign for helping you to get very clear on what you want to manifest and being dogged and disciplined about it.
Think brand new mindsets, huge creativity, innovation, independence and the motivation to make it all happen!
There is a strong entrepreneurial energy about Capricorn, so if you have been longing to create structures that will help you to generate income from your passions, now is the ideal time to focus your attention on those projects.
Setting New Intentions
You can channel the energy of the Winter Solstice and this New Moon to set some bold and brave intentions prior to the New Year.
Think of yourself as a powerful dreamer, and the dream you create now is how you decide 2023 will manifest for you!
You are a magical co-creator of your life experience, you can work with the divine Universe to literally manifest what you imagine into reality!
But before you rush to set your new intentions, it’s important to get very clear on what they really are.
What are the most authentic and genuine desires held by your soul?
Using a journal to brainstorm and uncover your intentions is an amazing way to get guidance from your inner self.
Here are some prompts to help you as you visualize your dream for 2023:
- What deep desire am I still holding in my heart that I do not dare to bring out into the light?
- How can I step out of my comfort zone to get closer to what I truly want?
- What calls my soul to dance and light up with excitement?
- If I were unafraid to express my truths to the world, what would I say?
- If my future self in 5 years time were looking back at me now, what would they want to say to me?
- How do I know that my desires are truly mine and coming from my unique soul’s path?
As you write and visualize from these prompts, you will get a much clearer image of who you are and who you can be in 2023 and beyond.
Once you set your intentions you can write them down in a notebook or on a piece of paper and refer back to them every single day to remind yourself of your vision.
So many people make a big deal about setting their intentions, but how many people truly understand what’s required to make them become a reality?
You must do all you can to remain in a high frequency, connected to the belief that you can have what you desire!
Remember to trust your path as it unfolds.
Love the process, and know that you hold everything within you required to make your life the best, and most beautiful reflection of you it can be.
