Capricorn, a very practical and grounded sign, encourages you to create structures and systems to achieve your greatest hopes and desires. Capricorn is also the ultimate goal-getter and that is the energy you’re going to want to carry with you throughout the year.
Remember, Capricorn is an earth sign and the New Moon in Capricorn lunation is very practical. It’s a cosmic reminder from the Universe that being steady, persistent, and deliberate is the surest path to success. You achieve your goals one step at a time.
And, as the Sea Goat reminds us, there's no mountain too high or ocean too deep to stop you from reaching your goals.

Collect items that represent abundance and prosperity to you. Some common items you could include:

Keep your abundance altar clean and organized. Dust and rearrange the items periodically to maintain the energy flow and reinforce your intentions.

Spend time in front of your abundance altar regularly, especially during moments of meditation or reflection. Visualize and feel the abundance you wish to attract into your life.
7. Gratitude:
Express gratitude for the abundance you currently have and for the prosperity that is on its way. Gratitude can amplify the positive energy around your altar.

Building an abundance altar is a process that requires time and patience. Trust in the power of the universe, your intentions and the positive energy you are cultivating.
