There’s a lot of WEIRD energy approaching this New Moon - a tension between a ramping up of speediness, restlessness, the urge for radical change - and the call to slow down, pause, reflect and focus on your deep inner world. Slowness wins!
Action planet Mars is retrograde, Uranus and Jupiter are both stationary (standing still) and three planets plus the North Node are having a party in Pisces.
Translation? This is a time for stillness and spaciousness, for holding the buzzy, electric energies in your body and letting them expand you from the inside out, for RECEIVING higher guidance and soul wisdom through your feelings, intuition and dreams. As Uranus and Jupiter start moving forward again, on January 30 and February 4, respectively - revelations can catalyze your momentum into new life chapters.
Aquarius is the sign of the future, the prophet and visionary. Mass media - also ruled by Aquarius - is attempting to entrain our minds in the direction of an AI-dominated, transhumanist and technocratic future - a digital prison in which humans are merged with machines, and individual will and freedom are subsumed into the hive mind.
As the Sun and Pluto came together in Aquarius for the first time in our lives, Trump and his Big Tech buddies announced “Project Stargate” (sounds so Aquarian…) - a $500 billion dollar initiative for AI infrastructure to build a future no sane human actually wants.
Saturn, traditional ruler of Aquarius and dispositor of Pluto, is in Pisces - the sign of dreams and the imagination, as well as delusion and deception. The greatest illusion is that the future is a foregone conclusion, that we as individuals have zero input as to what the future looks like, and our only option is to acquiesce to “smart” everything, give up our natural humanness for synthetic biology, and become “hackable animals” instead of sovereign souls.
The higher expression of Saturn in Pisces is to stand in the authority of your infinitely powerful human consciousness, and focus your imagination on the future you want to live in. At the level of consciousness, every human being is equally powerful. When enough humans take back their creative power and focus their attention in the direction of a positive dream for the future, and act in integrity with that higher vision, we can build (in the words of Charles Eisenstein) “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.”
The Aquarius New Moon invites you to turn inward and feel into where your aliveness and excitement are calling you, and plant YOUR vision seeds for the future. Aquarius is the rebel, the weirdo, the creative genius who is willing to go against the grain and speak the truth. When you take the risk of sharing your authenticity and uniqueness, you attract your tribe - those who share your values and vision, those with whom you can co-create the more beautiful world.
For more insight into what this new moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 9° Aquarius.
The areas of life signified by that house are where there’s powerful energy for a rebirth, and where you’re invited to:
detach from what no longer feels aligned or authentic;
connect with what’s sparking your excitement about the future;
take the risk of expressing more of your individuality and creativity;
tune into the big-picture perspective and your inner truth;
and take steps to experience more freedom, community and friendship.
