The 2022 party is about to get started, and the Aquarius New Moon on February 1st is the launch point.
Venus just turned direct, Mercury will turn direct a few days after the New Moon, and then ALL the planets will be moving forward for the next two months. Clarity and momentum are on the rise!
Aquarius season is the time of QUICKENING – the light is increasing and the life force is stirring as we reemerge from deep Capricorn hibernation. At the Aquarius New Moon – Lunar or Chinese New Year – it’s time to break free from the past and step into a new story.
Expansive Jupiter – strong in its home sign of Pisces – harmonizes with revolutionary Uranus, stirring up big dreams, the urge for freedom, and excitement about the future. The Jupiter-Uranus sextile calls for clearing out old beliefs and illusions so we can expand our minds in creative new directions.
Yes, there is still some sluggishness, resistance and mysteriousness… But Saturn’s primacy at the New Moon encourages us to take charge and commit to creating the future we want to live in. We can harness Saturn’s focus, dedication and determination to persist through discomfort and challenges and keep taking steps forward.
The New Moon occurs on February 1st at 12:45am Eastern/January 31 at 9:45pm Pacific, at 12 degrees of Aquarius. For more insight into what this New Moon means for YOU, find the house in your chart that contains 12 degrees Aquarius.
The areas of life signified by that house are where there's an influx of exciting new energy, and where you're invited to:
look for and lean into the big-picture perspective;
break free from the past to make space for a fresh start;
activate your radical individuality and creativity;
tune into and trust your inner truth;
take steps to experience more freedom, clarity, community and friendship.
The best times for setting your New Moon intentions (all times in EST) are: Tuesday, February 1, 12:45am to 6:01am; Wednesday, Feb. 2, 5:59am to midnight; Thursday, Feb. 3, all day and night.
I go into all the Virgoan details in my 45-minute New Moon recording, with astro-navigational guidance for making the most of this new lunar cycle.
We cover: Venus moving forward, Venus and Mars (the cosmic lovers) together for the next month, Mercury retro conjunct Pluto, Jupiter sextile Uranus, and much more!
