Goal setting with integrity
Today's New Moon in Capricorn offers a reminder to approach goal setting from a place of purpose and integrity versus from a place of urgency, fear, or lack. This means connecting with your inner wisdom (your truth or intuition) to set the foundation for your year. So, if you're so inclined, experiment with this process for goal setting for 2025 and beyond:
  1. Gather all of your favorite pens and paper and brainstorming materials
  2. Take a few deep breaths where the exhale is longer than the inhale
  3. Consider the stories you tell yourself about progress and success - do they feel true for you, or does something feel off (like unrealistic expectations are running the show)? Is there a story (or belief) about success that feels like it fits easier (where your breathing is easier, your body relaxes, or you feel bigger/more expansive, and the energy feels abundant)?
  4. From that truer belief about progress or success, write down (or diagram or draw) three things you'd like to experience or accomplish over the coming months and years.
  5. For this exercise, choose one of those three goals and, with curiosity and boldness, write down three to five steps you can take that will move you closer to that goal.
Over the coming days and weeks, do the same for the remaining goals (and any other goals that come up—keep reassessing and reprioritizing if something feels more expansive and true for you).
This is about authentic, deliberate, sustainable action toward the goals that are important to you. Life is going to happen, and there will be emergencies and urgencies that test your resolve. Remember to handle yourself and your goals with care: say good things to yourself, take a breath, and bring yourself back to center as frequently as you can. Notice the small and big things that happen in your favor.
You are here to master being authentically you (refer to your natal chart reading for reminders if you're not feelin' it).
When you're struggling with a decision about what next step to take, return to your goals and ask yourself which step helps you stay aligned with your true self.
You can use this process whenever you're setting goals; it just so happens that Capricorn season is a perfect time to do some personal planning (your Solar Return (on or around your birthday) is another ideal time). I'd love to hear what you think of this process and, if you try it, what you experienced.
Sending you my best for a new year filled with whatever energy you want and need. ✨
