This month’s New Moon occurs on February 8, 2016, at 7:39 am Mountain Standard Time. The Moon is in the sign of Aquarius, the sign of the revolutionary humanitarian. The New Moon is generally a favorable time for new beginnings or putting things in motion; however, this Moon is being challenged by Mars and, to a lesser degree, Uranus. What this boils down to is this: begin if you must, energy will be there, but watch for resistance and/or surprises that you may not have anticipated. Also during this time old issues may be up for healing, so if the day feels like “OMG, I thought I dealt with that a long time ago!” acknowledge the issue, honor it, and let it go. Communications and power plays within groups may come to the fore, bringing with it unexpected challenges and limitations. These can, with hard work and due diligence, be overcome.
Elsewhere in the skies – on the 10th we have Venus playing nice with Jupiter. It’s quite easy to overspend and splurge at this time; please use caution. The 13th brings Mars into an alliance with Jupiter; tempers may flare, but things get done. Also a good day for action – especially intellectual- as Mercury moves into Aquarius, lightening things up a bit and giving us a look at the bigger picture. On the 16th Venus follows Mercury into Aquarius, which can lighten up our outlook on relationships as well as money issues. On the 18th the Sun moves into watery Pisces, encouraging us to go with the flow and up the creative ante.
Until the Full,
Namaste!
