New Moon in Capricorn Tarot Spread
So how can a tarot spread help with all this? It can help you decide which resolutions will best serve you over the year. Therefore, eliminating the resolutions that will only make you feel bad about yourself or that aren’t worth your time.
Look at the tarot card associated with Capricorn, The Devil card. Capricorn’s low vibes can be seen as a controlling energy and one that will stop at nothing to get what they want. in the Devil card, two people are chained to a horned beast.
The beast can be represented as the cruel Capricorn’s tendency to control and manipulate people to suit its gain.
The two chained people are captives as long as they don’t realize they can escape. If only they take a closer look at the situation. They’d realize they could be free if only they slipped out of the chains.
What am I trying to say?! New Year’s resolutions need balance. It’s a great thing to reflect on yourself and determine areas that you’d like to improve. However, it’s not okay to set lofty unachievable goals or beat yourself up if you don’t reach them by the end of January.
Don’t be a slave to your goals and don’t give up on them either.
- Keep your resolutions to a minimum.
- Keep them specific and have actionable steps that you can break down
- Be kind to yourself. If you slip up, you can start over and it’s okay. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about reaching your goal over time.
