New Years Resolutions But Better
I’m still really having a rough go of it but I wanted to take a second to put an idea out into the world that I’ve been using some over the last year and had decent results with.
Instead of setting New Years Resolutions, I start a habit or project with the corresponding new moon.
What do I mean by corresponding? Well the method I’ve been using is seeing what natal astrological house a new moon falls in.
So my rising sign is Capricorn and I use Whole Sign Houses so it is also my first house. The first house is associated with the self, face, body, and other themes of incarnation. When the new moon in Capricorn happens in a few weeks, I’ll see about starting any projects, goals, or habits I’ve been meaning to around skin care, makeup, clothes, or any health issues I need to work on.
When the next new moon happens in Aquarius in my second house, I’ll set financial goals and see what resources I need to shore up. And so on.
What I see so often with folks is trying to do too much at once - I’ve been guilty of that. By focusing on the new moon and where it falls in your houses, it’s narrows your focus and points it toward what new beginnings are supported by your natal promise.
Important note about eclipses: I agree with the traditional interpretations of eclipses as malefic events and have seen their effect in my own life. I do not set new resolutions in the houses impacted by eclipses as I’ve not found it well supported. I recommend remediating those eclipses as you see fit and just know you’ll circle back to that house and those goals eventually. You can’t do it all in a year or two. It’s a process.
Also note - I’m talking about the houses NOT signs. If you’re not sure what the significations of the houses are there are a ton of good resources that both summarize and go deep out there. Google should begin to turn them up, but I recommend the Astrology Podcasts double episode on the topic if you’ve got the time.
So if this interests you, it might be worth trying out. I’m honestly not sure how to adapt for non whole sign house systems so that could take some tweaking. But basically I just look up the new moon dates, find out what sign they’re in, and jot down what goals might be most appropriate. Then in the days before the new moon, I just pick one to three of them and figure out how I’ll follow up on it. Managed to greatly improve some interpersonal goals I had as well as cleaning and moving around more.
If you give it a try - I hope it works out! Happy New Years!
