Rock Your Resolutions With These 5 Classes

Here we are in 2024 when we will learn how to embrace the idea of transformation and understand the importance of releasing the clutches of old security. This new moon in Capricorn on January 11 will be the essential cosmic ingredient we need to take ownership of our goals while living the most authentic way.

If you lack motivation or are just getting out of the fog of this past holiday season, I've got good news for you. This new moon will catalyze you to power up your 2024 resolutions. Think of Capricorn season as the guiding force for you to become ambitious while holding onto a dash of humility. Remember when Mercury retrograde happened last month? The good news is that the messenger planet is officially direct, and the new moon will clear the way for you to see what is stirring your passion while giving you the grit to power up your plans.

There is a lot of planetary action happening in the skies on this day, and the good news is these planets are fully supportive and magical for this lunation to be supportive. Whether you are ready to fuel your endeavors, ignite momentum into your life purpose, or have the courage to say hello to your crush or renew the fires of your relationship... you are ready for this! Let's dive deep and see what is in store for you.

What's Happening in the Skies during the New Moon in Capricorn?

• Moon conjunct Pluto
• Moon conjunct Part of Fortune
• Moon square North Node
• Moon sextile Uranus
• Venus trine Chiron
• Mars trine Jupiter
• Saturn sextile Jupiter

As a part of the new moon event, this will require you to let go of what is weighing you down the most. This has been a recurring theme with the last few new and full moons because Pluto has been taking the main stage. Today, you will see the clearest of what needs to be done to expedite the changes in your life. With the new moon in alignment with Pluto, this will be the stepping stone in you seeing clearly what needs to be released. New moons are the cosmic source for you to plant seeds and manifest, but the part most often overlooked in these practices is that it requires letting go. Pluto will be on your side as it will help you cleanse your mental, spiritual, and physical space to make room for your desired shifts. But this requires you to work hard, or this involves you to make a significant decision. Pluto requires an edge of sacrifice. Even though it may feel scary, think of this as an opportunity for you to rewrite your story (like the song "Unwritten").

There will be a stroke of luck in alignment with this new moon as the point in the chart known as Part of Fortune will grant grace to your next steps. This takes unwavering optimism and courage on your part to support your venture. You will see a sliver of promise and even an outrageous idea, but it seems to work as you lean toward it with trust and belief. Just go with it.

The new moon will also intensify as it faces off the North Node, the guiding light in our dharmic path and, as I call it, the uncharted territory in your life. These two cosmic forces will feel like a pressure cooker, which will involve reviewing security and taking ownership of your life. Saturn, the moon sign ruler, in a supportive position with Jupiter, will reveal the solution for you while helping you feel grounded in alignment with your next move. You do you.

The new moon in Capricorn will encourage you to pay attention to your dream life or goals while helping you understand what is required to see it take root. Guess what? You will receive a boost of inspiration and channel in your ability to invite your desired goals with the Moon and Uranus in a supportive position. Uranus will enable you to become original, embrace the idea of liberation, and learn how to become detached from the outcome. Enjoy the process and become the artist of your life. Becoming open to change will help you be in the right place and time. Chance encounters or synchronistic events on this day will likely happen as you become receptive to the Universe's message.

Finally, there is a message for you regarding your love life during this cosmic event. The love and sex planets Venus and Mars will play an integral part during this new moon. The great news is that if you are contemplating rekindling the fires of your relationship, this will heal your love story. Lamenting on past losses will only hold you back from experiencing personal growth and strength. Investing in yourself by going through inner work with love will allow you to attract meaningful connections that result in harmony and restoration. This new moon will also breathe life into your will to achieve your love goals. Single or taken, you will feel a pull to initiate spice into your love life. It can be by designating date nights or going to more singles mixers to boost your chances of meeting bae. The new moon in Capricorn promises an outlet of powerful changes in love as you stray from settling-get off that couch and begin to chart out your ideal love life. This time around, the magic will begin.

To understand how this cathartic new moon in Capricorn will impact you, read on for your sun, moon, and rising signs.

Aries:

You stand between your past and future during this new moon in Capricorn. Explore your potential and take steps forward guided by your passion involving work and your legacy. For you, achievement is often tied to being unapologetic rather than impressing others. As you map out your path for this lunation, focus on what fulfills you, disregarding outside expectations. Make your mark, staying true to yourself amidst external pressures.

Taurus:

With Jupiter direct in your sign, it's a call for you to live up to your promise. This could mean pursuing a dream, broadening horizons, or making concrete plans. The new moon in Capricorn urges you to ignite your dreams while undergoing substantial growth. Revise outdated goals that left stagnant results. Ask yourself what changes you desire, and review what steps will help get you there.

Gemini:

Navigating a cloud of uncertainty since last month, Mercury's retrograde threw curveballs in your romantic or partnership dealings. The new moon in Capricorn encourages you to boldly look to the future, letting go of expectations and creating achievable goals. Look deep within and analyze your inner state of beliefs. This new moon will enable you to clear out and understand what you need to cultivate tangible results.

Cancer:

The new moon in Capricorn will help elevate your relationship status or initiate changes in your love life. Get out of your comfort zone and name your terms! Step up and initiate that desired spiciness in the bedroom-it will deepen the intimacy with your partner. Measure the state of your energy as you collaborate with others, and use this moment to see who supports your ventures.

Leo:

Focus on organizing your life and work surroundings. This new moon will illuminate the state of your progress involving work. See what is hindering you energetically. Observe your immediate surroundings and assess what is lowering your vibration. Detox, visit a metaphysical shop, or try a sound bath for balance.

Virgo:

Mercury's retrograde last month may have left uncertainty regarding your home life plans. The great news is that the new moon in Capricorn prompts commitment to plans despite past concerns. Focus on loved ones and what truly brings you joy. It is a fertile time to expand your family or plant a seed leading to incredible creative ventures.

Libra:

This new moon will highlight the need to clarify what fulfills you emotionally. Reconnect with your inner self while confiding with those who make you feel safe. Focus on deeper commitments concerning home, family, and honoring your roots. Build a ritual commemorating your past heartaches or those you have lost to help you become stronger.

Scorpio:

There will be an upsurge of ideas during this lunation, and grounding your dreams requires discipline and focus. Mars in Capricorn will extend that support to you, leading by your passion and not holding back. Use this time to plan, organize, and take practical steps toward your goals. Focus on improving communication, honing skills, and open-minded to new ideas.

Sagittarius:

Jupiter's sextile with Saturn offers an opportunity to bring your vision closer to reality. Consider investing time and resources into priorities that align with your future vision. Budgeting and mindful spending will ensure success. Focus on sustainability and believe that you have what it takes to succeed.

Capricorn:

As the new moon falls in your sign, it's a chance for a fresh start and self-reflection. Appreciate the changes you've undergone and envision loftier goals. Embrace transformation while being true to yourself. Use this time to set an example by embracing your unfiltered self.

Aquarius:

The new moon in Capricorn urges reflection and letting go of what no longer serves you. This year, Pluto entering your sign hints at significant changes. Reflect on outgrown aspects of your life and seek alternative ways to cope with current circumstances. Review and clear out your subconscious patterns by beginning journaling, therapy, or meditation.

Pisces:

This new moon in Capricorn will help align your aspirations with practicality. Jupiter's sextile with Saturn emphasizes making dreams achievable. Consider your heartfelt hopes for the future and translate them into practical goals—power up your manifestation game by visualizing your dreams taking shape seamlessly.

Meghan Markle is officially returning to our TV screens, but it's probably not what you're thinking. While everyone wishes that she was somehow re-joining the cast of Suits for a reunion season (still secretly hoping that will come true), or giving us another part to Harry & Meghan, she's actually starting a brand new venture. After dropping her ever-exclusive jams, Meghan's now set to star on her very own cooking show! She and Prince Harry — alongside their production company — are heading up this exciting new show, and we wanted to give you all the deets on what we know, when it will air, and what exciting guests will be on it!

Meghan Markle is doing a cooking show, and according to Deadline we'll get to "see The Duchess, otherwise known as Meghan Markle, celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship." We love the sound of that! And with Harry and Meghan having quite a lot of famous friendships, we think there could be possible celebrity features! Maybe a Suits reunion? Or Tyler Perry feature? Maybe even Serena Williams? Given that Meghan's podcast Archetypes features a star-studded celebrity cast, then we have no doubt that's exactly what we'll get here, too!

Why is Meghan Markle doing a cooking show?

Meghan's seemingly always shown a passion for cooking and homemaking since her days of The Tig, a blog dedicated to all things in that same vein. Alongside that, she's also written her own cookbook (the proceeds of which went right to charity), and she also just released a jam from her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard. So since this brand is going to be selling things like tableware, linens, and cooking items, we could see this cooking show really tying together all the different parts of her passions she's shown us over time.

Who will be doing the Meghan Markle's cooking show?

Deadlinereported that Sony Pictures is producing Meghan's show. They said, "It will be produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation, which is behind series including Hulu’s The D’Amelio Show and A&E’s Leah Remini: Scientology & the Aftermath."

They also reported that Archwell, Hariton and Aaron Saidman, and Eli Holzman for IPC will executive produce this project as well. It will premiere via Netfliix like all of the other projects Prince Harry and Meghan have done! We can't wait!

Where did Meghan Markle's new show film?

They actually filmed Meghan Markle's cooking show at a house just 2 miles away from the family's residence in Montecito, California. Prince Harry and Meghan seem to draw a lot of inspiration from where they live since Meghan's brand American Riviera Orchard was also inspired by the lovely Montecito, CA. Plus, they apparently wanted to keep production close by, which we can only presume is because of their sweet little kids.

When will we get to watch Meghan Markle's cooking show?

The series unfortunately doesn't have a release date yet, but it's in the "early stages of productions" according to Deadline. Hopefully we'll find out more — including the actual name of Meghan's show — very soon! All we know is, whenever it does come out, we plan to binge the whole series ASAP!
