✦ Capricorn New Moon Grounding Ritual ✦

‘Grounding Before the Great Shift’

This ritual is designed to work with Capricorn energy in a simple, embodied way. No elaborate tools. No performance. Just honesty, structure, and presence.

 

You will need:

• A quiet moment
• A notebook or piece of paper
• A pen
• Optional: a candle

• A stone, crystal, or even a small handful of earth

Directions 

Step 1: Arrive in the body

Sit somewhere grounded. If you can, place your feet flat on the floor. Let your shoulders soften. Take a few slow breaths and allow your body to settle.

This New Moon isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about arriving in it.

Step 2: Name the weight

 

Without analysing or over-explaining, write down what currently feels heavy.

Ask yourself:

• What feels like a responsibility that has become a burden?
• Where am I carrying more than is actually mine?
• What commitment feels draining rather than sustaining?

Be factual. Capricorn values clarity over drama.

 

Step 3: Get honest about structure

 

Now write down the structures in your life that are meant to support you.

This might include routines, work patterns, financial commitments, relationships, or roles you hold.

Ask:

• Which of these genuinely support me?
• Which feel outdated, inefficient, or rooted in guilt or fear?
• Where am I saying “should” instead of responding to what’s true now?

Step 4: Choose one place to stabilise

Capricorn works step by step. Do not try to fix everything.

Choose one area of your life where stability would create the most relief or support right now.

Write one clear, realistic commitment you are willing to tend over the coming lunar cycle.

Keep it honest. Keep it sustainable.

Step 5: The Rooting Spell

As you read the spell out loud, imagine the weight of the stone anchoring you downward..

Let its heaviness remind you that you do not need to carry everything at once.

As you read the Rooting Spell, keep the stone in your hands.

When you reach the line “What drains me, I lay down,” place the stone on the floor.

When the spell is complete, pick it back up and hold it close.

Let it anchor your intention for the cycle ahead.

✦ Rooting Spell ✦

I choose what I can carry.

I release what asks me to betray myself.

I honour my limits as sacred.

I build slowly, steadily, in truth.

What I commit to, I tend.

What drains me, I lay down. 

(gently place the stone on the floor or earth)

My foundations are strong.

My boundaries are clear.

I am allowed to grow without hardening.

And so it is.

Step 6: Close

Place one hand on your chest and one on your lower belly. Take one final breath.

Remind yourself that devotion does not require you to burn out. Slow, steady growth is still growth.
