NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS:
The New Moon falls on Saturday January 21st at 3:53 P.M. EST at 1 degree Aquarius 33 minutes. Any aspect that occurs when a planet is in the first 2 ½ degrees of the sign it is traveling through has a more pronounced effect. We subdivide the signs into twelve 2 ½ degree sections, each sub-ruled by a sign. The first section is the strongest of the sign the aspect is occurring within. So a New Moon at 1 degree of a sign will have a more powerful effect creating an increased energy that sign implies. Here we have a New Moon occurring in erratic, unpredictable Aquarius, itself an intense, exciting and changeable placement. Having this occur at 1 degree simply increases the energy it will emit. We can expect some unusual ideas, events and actions.
This is a time to be adventurous and to look for new and unusual ways of expressing yourself. It’s a good time to try new things or to explore different ways of looking at your situations and problems. You may discover a unique and hitherto unconsidered possibility. But it does require some caution, as this sign is so unpredictable. There may be a number of opportunities or ideas coming to you, and it could be difficult to ferret out what it best. If you keep your eye on the ball and aim your energy and attention where it will do you the most good, you may discover a new path that might just lead you where you need to go. This can be a very optimistic and exciting time. Or it could be upsetting and confusing. Which will it be? A lot depends on your attitude and how easily you can adjust to new input. Stay as open-minded as possible and don’t reject out of hand that which might seem alien. If you’ve been stubborn and holding on too tightly to your usual routine this energy could rebel. If you are able to experience a different perspective, it just might give you what you’ve been seeking.
