NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS

NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS

Here we are with the new moon joining all the other planets in Aquarius - 6 of them to be exact and they line up all next to each other. The last time this happened was back in 1972.

The beginning of a new moon cycle is where we look within to discover what the new cycle is all about and set our intentions of what we would like to achieve or manifest over the upcoming 28 days.

This particular new moon is quite potent with a great emphasis on Aquarian energy, which I have mentioned previously is all about the collective energy, change and reform, freedom and liberation and group experiences of all kinds, business, political and social.

This new moon is an excellent time for us to connect and reconnect with your 'tribe', your chosen family, the people who share your unique and special interests or a cause that you are aligned to.

If you have a particular project that requires assistance, this is the perfect timing to ask for and seek help from others who share your vision.

This energy is also about harnessing connections with those people, politics, systems and causes that are moving toward a new and larger vision of the future.

Aquarius energy is also about looking forward to our hopes, wishes and future visions and making improvements, tweaks and changes to bring us closer to our vision, ideals and ideas about the future. Given Aquarius is also about science and technology, using new methods or a new piece of technology to help you achieve your goals, is enhanced here. Do remember that Mercury is retrograde until the 20th so perhaps set your intentions but don't press 'install' until after the 20th….

This new moon is very much about reflecting on what we are 'called' to do especially toward a larger collective purpose. Is there anything that is 'calling' you at the moment or that you have perhaps been ignoring? Now is the time to look forward and discover what you may feel your calling truly is and how you can plan to achieve it.

This is also a period in which you can examine how you work personally within group dynamics. With so many planets in Aquarius, the energy is dense, offering us an opportunity to assess if we are too focused on what the group or the collective wants at the expense of our individuality and uniqueness. Do you speak your truth in the collective or group sense or just go along with the flow? How are these dynamics working for or against you at this time?

On a more extensive and collective sense, this abundance of planets asks all of us to examine what and where we wish to see change and how we might go about achieving it. Aquarius is the sign of revolution, of rebellion. One of Aquariuses greatest assets in my mind is the energy push it offers to open up our minds and accept change, diversity, integration of the disenfranchised and how our systems support or hinder this essence for the future.

There is tension supplied by Mars in Taurus making a square aspect to all this Aquarius about our past vs our present, restriction vs freedom, establishment vs start-ups. All these 'themes' will be heavy and evident in our personal and collective space over the next 28 days.

Venus and Jupiter are also lined up in Aquarius during this period. It offers us the potential to find agreement, common ground, and focus on moving forward, both collectively and personally.

Additionally, with Saturn in Aquarius, we can ask ourselves what the structures, rules and disciplines we require to where we want to head?

Use this full moon energy to meditate on these things and set your intentions for the next 28 days. The most potent time to set your new moon intention is after 6.23 am on the 12th Feb until about 4.00 pm on the same day. Australian Eastern Standard time.

Happy New Moon in Aquarius

Mercury Goes Retrograde in Aquarius. Jan 30th Feb 20

Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Aquarius today.

What does this mean?

Basically it appears as though Mercury is moving backward in the sky. On a symbolic level this means the areas Mercury usually rules over, such as communication, intellect, connection and technology don’t function in their usual way. These areas are now more internalised.

On a practical level mercury moving retrograde can place a serious disruption on how we manage and deal with these aspects on a daily basis. However Mercury retrograde also offers us the opportunity to reflect and internalise this energy rather than actively use it.

When Mercury goes retrograde, we need to be aware that what we wish to communicate may feel restrained or potentially be mis-communicated.. I encourage you therefore to ensure your messages are well thought out, clear and understood by the recipient. This period is rife with the potential for misunderstandings and given it is in the sign of Aquarius, this could certainly manifest with friends and groups.

Technology can frustrate us more than usual with Mercury retrograde. This is the period in which your lap top decides to have a malfunction, the software you rely on suddenly has glitches and you experience delays in all manners of transportation. I highly recommend checking your car is in good working order at this time.

Being aware of these energies can lessen our frustration as we are certainly in line to experience all kinds of unexpected and unplanned events, the best advice is to attempt to just go with the flow of it all.

If you can avoid signing contracts at this time, it is advisable. If you can not then ensure you go over the fine print again and again and ask plenty of questions.

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo so for these signs, it can be a significant disruption as it can for the other air signs, Libra and Aquarius. However it is not all bad as Mercury retrograde offers us opportunity to access more of our intuitive mind rather than logical mind. It is a particularly potent time for heightened dreams, so take note of what your dreams are telling you during this period, there are often messages delivered to us in our dream states now.

Reflection and deep thinking such as meditation is an excellent use of the Mercury retrograde period as our mind turns inward. There is much wisdom that can be delivered to us now for us to then put to use once it goes direct. Being in the sign of Aquarius we could experience some flashes of insight, thoughts and ideas that seem to come out of the blue and are certainly out of the box.

LEO FULL MOON JANUARY 28 2021

This is not your average Leo full moon. The moon is being illuminated with the Sun conjunct expansive Jupiter and restrictive Saturn in Aquarius, whilst make square energy to Uranus and Mars in Taurus.

This combination will most dramatically affect the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

When the full moon is opposite the Sun and conjunct Jupiter, it is traditionally considered very lucky. With Mars and Uranus's activation, this full moon could bring blessings, luck, and surprises out of the blue.

It is a beautiful time to manifest some big and hopeful wishes on a more psychological level, primarily focusing on you and what you want. What are your hopes and desires, and mostly how you wish to express yourself honestly and what gifts you can bring to the collective?

Given the world's craziness and the seemingly constant focus on the collective, society, politics and how we connect to our fellow humans, this full moon is asking us to spend some time focusing on ourselves. Leo is an expressive, energetic fire sign, and Leo moon energy is very much about' the self.'

We are not being asked to turn our gaze away from the collective and the more significant needs of society at this time, in fact, the very opposite as there is so much energy in the sign of Aquarius, but this full moon reminds us we are connected but equally independent. So, take some time to ask yourself, what do YOU want right now? What is true for you?

Leo rules the heart, so this energy is all about connecting with what is in your heart, expressing your hearts desires, love and wisdom. Use this energy to get in touch with your love for yourself, honour yourself and the magnificence that is you.

On the day of the full moon, do something that celebrates you. Express your creativity, get in touch with your inner child, play a little, whatever it takes to applaud you for you, is what Leo full moons are lovely for.

The Aquarian energy in opposition to the Leo full moon is also asking us to look within, discover what you are being called to do regarding the collective, and shape a new and forward-moving society. What expressive, creative and abundant energy can you bring to this time's collective power, what unique gifts do you have to share with the world, that can genuinely make it a better place?

The abundance of energy we have in the sign of Aquarius is also an excellent time for generating new ideas, innovations and sparks of genius. With Saturn and Jupiter joining the Sun in opposition to the moon, it is possible to set the groundwork and structure to activate some rather revolutionary and evolutionary ideas, both for society as a whole and on an individual basis. Saturn, in particular, is asking what will you be taking forward with you, what are you building that can bring love ( Leo) and change ( Aquarius) to the future?

There are undoubtedly forces for change at play, an awakening of sorts. This could manifest on both personal and collective levels. Signs that will feel it the most are the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo and Scorpio and Aquarius. These are all signs that don't really like change, but there is awakening energy, liberation energy of throwing out the old to make way for the new being asked of them right now. This energy could manifest as something you thought of that was certain, which is now literally being thrown up in the air. The trick is to go with the flow, embrace and get used to it. This will be much easier in the long run than battling against this energy at the moment.

If you have one of these signs predominant in your chart, be proactive, not reactive, take some time during the full moon to examine those habits, or thought patterns that no longer serve you and then spend some time releasing them. Personally, during a Leo full moon, I like to work with fire and write down that which I want to move away from and then burn it…..safely of course.

So this full moon accentuates the astrological energy that has been dominant since the beginning of 2021. This is period where both personally and collectively we are being forced to grow. Uranus is a cosmic awaken-er- bringing forth a blast of fast-moving energy and our emotional selves have to adjust to all of it during and around the period of this full moon.

What you thought was certain might be thrown up in the air. The good news is this is fast-paced energy that can move us forward quickly rather than having a long drawn out process.

None the less many will feel exhausted and potentially overwhelmed at this time, with so much happening so remember to take deep breaths. Mostly, the energies are here to open us up to new pathways, support new ventures, and help bring about new successes.

On a more mundane level, this is also an excellent time for meeting new people and forging new relationships, especially with groups or types of people you would not normally associate with.

Despite the fact there are many restrictions ( Saturn) worldwide right now on physically meeting people, the internet and technology offer us a portal and opportunity to connect with people in a new way. ( Aquarius).

Similarly, the Leo full moon in opposition to Aquarius asks us to honour our 'tribe'. The full moon offers us celebratory energy to honour 'our' people. Unlike traditional family, these are the people who make us genuinely feel great about ourselves and love us for who we are. The full moon energy offers us an opportunity to acknowledge and remind them of our love for them.

Remember, you are being asked to be true to yourself, during this chaotic period and find an inner strength, courage and open hardheartedness that you can share with the world when you are ready. Things to help you do this during the full moon include, getting in touch with your inner child, expressing yourself creatively, playing and having fun just for the sake of it, reciting positive self focused affirmations in the mirror, releasing elements of yourself or within your life, that no longer serve you.
