New Year with the Waning Moon: can you order or just say thank you?

the year of 2022 starts with a Waning Moon. It circulates through social media and in conversations that because it’s the Waning Moon we shouldn’t make our traditional New Year’s intentions. Is it really true? New Year with the Waning Moon: can you order or just say thank you?

astrologer Vanessa Tuleski confirms that we will start the year on the Waning Moon, which is a phase of reflection, elimination, completion of cycles and cleaning (see the meaning of each moon phase here), in Sagittarius, a happy and festive sign, and with the Moon conjunct Mars, bringing a desire to act. But classifies the rumor as a “overkill“.

“The Waning Moon does not invalidate wishes. People can vibrate with hopes. It’s not forbidden and it won’t hurt. It is human nature to have desires and aspirations, and these desires are not invalidated by any lunar phase,” says the astrologer.

According to her, perhaps it is not the most suitable thing to do a great mystical ritual of new airs, but, apart from that, the formulation of goals for 2022 is free. To help, also read the predictions for the Signs in 2022 and the collective astrology predictions for 2022 to see your opportunities and challenges in this new year.

Another piece of information that has been circulating around — again, as the same thing happened on the Virada Waning Moon from 2018 to 2019 — is that the best thing would be to “make requests in the opposite way”, something like: “I want to eliminate poverty” instead of wish prosperity.

“By thinking about what you no longer want, in a way, you will be pulling what you want. So I don’t see any problem making requests and saying goodbye to the year. In addition to everything, there is a powerful collective energywhich is why it’s natural to vibrate in what you aspire to for a new phase that begins”, says Vanessa Tuleski.

To reinforce your desires, the astrologer gives a special tip: as on January 2nd, the phase of New Moon of the year (see the full 2022 lunar calendar here) in the sign of Capricorn, do a ritual to reinforce your wishes for 2022.

“The New Moon has greater power for new beginnings, so take advantage of the 2nd to redo and reinforce what you want for the new year”, pointed out Vanessa.

She also remembers that the New Moon will be in Capricorn, which is the sign of commitment. So, then, you can think about how committed you are to your desires to help them happen.
