Saturn, the planetary ruler of Capricorn, represents cosmic flux and flow. If you have a goal that requires a solid foundation to make it happen, this New Moon is the perfect time for laying the groundwork. To start, have ready one red candle, an obsidian stone, pow-dered milk thistle herb, a square of black fabric, and some red thread. Think often about your goal throughout the day. Come midnight, light the candle. Holding the obsidian in your left hand, gaze at the candle while formulating your purpose into a concise mental image. Bundle the stone and the herb into the cloth, and bind it with the thread. Go outside and bury the bundle in the Earth.
