The New Moon always calls us to soulfully craft a fresh new beginning; where intuition and emotional focus guide us towards our future happiness and wellbeing. With six planets in the sign of Aquarius including Jupiter and Saturn, this Aquarius New Moon phase is the emotional charge and evolutionary calling of this season to release what no longer rightly fits us. Like the snake sheds it’s outgrown skin, we are preparing to peel away the layers of what has been to find what could be.
This New Moon is complex with multiple aspects that encourage as well as compel us to grow through difficult choices. With the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Aquarius squaring Mars in Taurus, we discover new desires, ideas, relationships and opportunities that are forward focused and different in some manner. This challenges our collective drive for security and comfort based on consistency; feeling safe in what we’ve known. Although personal and collective shifts are called for, Mars defends a slower more cautious approach to change.
Mercury retrograde in Aquarius provides needed awareness concerning our desire for new beginnings with greater freedom to be ourselves and the ample possibilities that show up in our lives. This current retrograde strongly suggests a period of deep reflection, honest, open communication and measured action, giving time to sort through options and understand all details within the bigger picture. Issues with technology will be an active part of this retrograde requiring greater patience and mental focus.
Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus creates a feeling of restriction that increases growing pressure for some level of needed change. When Saturn and Uranus interact, what is stuck will begin to move. Use wisdom and self-control in dealing with these frustrations and activate your personal power by anticipating any fall out with a well-developed, practical plan. Work with Mercury retrograde as a guide in any sudden or significant adjustments in the direction you’re seeking. Envision desired outcomes.
The sweet spot is Venus in an exact conjunction with Jupiter; a divine connection where the opportunity for love, romance, money, desired growth and abundant hope are strong possibilities. Someone or something outside of your normal vision may appear, leading you to break with well-worn traditions for new and more innovative personal connections and life experiences.
Work with this New Moon and do some mental house cleaning. What have you been doing or being that is beginning to feel stale? The soul lesson is to break with traditions that keep you closed off from yourself and open your mind and heart to a new future based on your personal uniqueness standing true and strong within our shared humanity.
