Today is the New Moon in Aquarius, here on the East Coast of Massachusetts, we finally are seeing some sunshine and blue skies…..fresh energy. Perfect timing.
February 9th The Aquarius New Moon is exact around 5:57PM in square aspect to Uranus in Taurus….Square energy has a feeling of friction,conflict or stress encouraging us to act or do something to alleviate the discomfort.Squares help us get unstuck and move ahead. New Moons are symbolic of the dark quiet Moon, completing the past lunation cycle and starting to look ahead by planting new ideas. Maybe you have started something new today, that you weren’t sure of how it would turn out? Uranus can awaken us to a different level, shake us out of stagnancy and inspire new paths. The Square aspect from Uranus to this Aquarian New Moon, gives an added unexpected or unusual flip to the day.Plans or ideas can change on a dime, in hindsight, the change can turn out to be a good thing! .
Future goals are baked into the Aquarian New Moon, which is also the start of the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Dragon!! Dragons are a mythical beast, this year be open to opportunity and magic.I’m sure we have some Dragon Year people tuning in,this is a big reset for you!
Dragon Medicine: Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
February 13thMars enters Aquarius and conjoins Pluto at 00 Aquarius,these two planets can bring a strong action and intensity to whatever you are doing.Aquarius has an independent energy that may clash a bit with other agendas, be mindful on this day that everyone is feeling the rush.Same day~Neptune in Pisces sextile Venus in Capricorn,can support the urge to indulge in escapism. To sidestep the Mars/Pluto dynamic, by tuning into music, movies,nature, romance ect. Finding peace in a storm kind of feeling.
February 16th Venus enters Aquarius and conjoins Pluto at 00 Aquarius. When Pluto & Venus meet up the intensity rises and relationships can feel this, for better or worse.It can highlight the ebb & flow of finances, something very helpful entering or a debt coming to collect. Venus/Pluto keywords obsession, passion, depth of a relationship, recycling of possessions, transforming love,renewal,powerful attractions, hyper focus on creative projects, intense social interaction, secret love, jealousy.
Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius and Uranus is the modern ruler. Saturn=Restrictions Uranus=Freedom. Both hang in the balance.
Same day-Mercury in Aquarius Square Uranus in Taurus~Our mind is open to new ideas and solutions, we may get excited by unexpected change that helps us move forward mentally with an issue.
February 16,17,18th Moon in Gemini Trines the very busy Aquarian House-Pluto,Venus,Mars,Mercury and the Aquarian Sun are in compatible communication with a very curious and super busy moon.Good day for people with like minds to get together. Social activities can be quite lively and unique. An abundance of communications and discussions pointed at future plans and new ideas flourish.The Gemini Moon will go “out of bounds” for the weekend, sending the moon’s energy to high activity levels, sometimes too far out.. Be cautious while travelling or going about busy weekend errands.
Friday the 16th Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. Another reason to be flexible, go with the flow and slow the pace.Unexpected changes can pop up, or impulsiveness may hit.Pump the brakes! A good day for creative projects ,as your thoughts can be full of quick solutions or ingenious ideas.
Looking forward to the ever-interesting Chinese Year of the Dragon!!!!!
