Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon this month on February 2nd is in your sign, Aquarius, and will particularly meaningful if your birthday is within a day or so of February 3rd, in which case it will also be a major part of the coming year as it will also reflect in your solar return. A New Moon typically brings something new into your life and this will be at a very personal level. This New Moon includes a close conjunction with Mars as well as Neptune and the asteroid, Chiron, both in your sign as well. Mars will be particularly relevant, providing a significant amount of drive and energy to your efforts at this time. This trio is trining Saturn in your 9th house of higher learning, legal matters, other cultures, travel to unfamiliar places, religion, politics, and your beliefs and expectations toward life. Saturn went retrograde toward the end of January, an event that typically starts stirring things up in the house of transit which usually are only at the subconscious level. You could be entirely oblivious to these rumblings other than to have a vague sense of anticipation or sense of missing something. By the time he goes direct in mid-June you'll have it figured out and whatever it is in this part of your life which requires restructuring should be taken care of by late September. Saturn retrograde generally institutes delays, particularly with regard to anything related to the government, authority figures, or the status quo, making it difficult to move forward.

Venus is in Sagittarius, your 11th house of friends, networking, groups, organizations and goals and squaring your sign ruler, Uranus, lingering in the final degrees of Pisces, your 2nd house of finances, possessions, values, needs and pleasures. This implies a conflict or challenge that relates to these two areas of your life. A very simple interpretation would be that a disruption or unexpected event related to your finances keeps you from pursuing something you want to do or perhaps a friend, associate or group will bring about an expense you weren't expecting. Jupiter in Aries, your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, siblings, neighbors and familiar journeys, may likewise be affected by your goals or other 11th house matter. Pluto in your 12th house of angels and demons, the "woo-woo" house of dreams, visions, spirituality, institutions, seclusion, hidden enemies and self-undoing, may be affecting your efforts as well. Pluto is going to be in Capricorn for several years where he will be rooting around looking for anything in this part of your life which needs a major overhaul and/or elimination. This will include your spiritual life, dreams, any self-defeating behaviors or escape mechanisms, and ways you conform (or don't) to the forces around you.

Mercury is also in Capricorn, just about ready to leave, but for this lunation's sake also in your 12th House which will facilitate thoughts, ideas and information in this part of your life. Be on the lookout for a sudden breakthrough, perhaps in the financial area or some other need, that relates to your higher self. This doesn't necessarily mean you'll take everything you own to the local thrift shop and become a missionary in some Third World country, but it could. What you value and demonstrate through your possessions and material wealth are a reflection of who and what you are spiritually and with Mercury connecting with your sign ruler, Uranus, in Pisces via a favorable sextile may bring an opportunity for further insights into this part of your life and how to derive true satisfaction.

The Full Moon on February 18 is in your polar sign, Leo, which is also you 7th house of close relationships and competitors. If your birthday is right around this day the lunation will oppose your natal Sun and also reflect throughout the coming year via your solar return. The typical meaning of a Full Moon is that of an ending or culmination which can also manifest as a shift to a new phase. Aquarius is loaded with planets for this lunation as well and includes Mercury, Mars, Neptune and of course the Sun, all of which are opposing the Moon. This implies there could be some interesting confrontations between what you want to accomplish in this coming year versus those who are close to you. They may be overtly against your plans or they may innocently represent an obstacle, which could be the case if financial obligations to your children keep you from pursuing your own path. This can also manifest as a matter that oscillates between your head and heart. Being an Air Sign, you are usually logical in your decisions, even though your sign ruler, Uranus, may make this logic a bit unique or different than others can see.

Pluto is squaring Jupiter in Aries, your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, neighbors, siblings and familiar journeys which implies that something inside you that needs to be reworked is holding you back as far as expanding your thoughts, interactions with neighbors or your brothers and sisters or even keeping up with the various errands and so forth you take care of each day. The implications are that something deep inside of you may be holding you back, like driving with the brakes on. Give it some thought as Pluto continues to help you eradicate whatever it might be. Venus, also in your 12th house, is squaring Saturn, your ancient sign ruler, over in fellow Air Sign, Libra, your 9th House as previously noted. This will undoubtedly relate to Saturn's work in that part of your life which relates to such things as legal matters and higher learning. Between Saturn's restructuring activities and Pluto's remodeling, which may sound quite similar but really aren't, you can expect to make some serious progress as far as personal growth in the coming year. This will be a good thing.
