The new moon in Aquarius and the Chinese New Year both
occur on February 8, 2016. This is major
stuff folks, as we usher in a period of huge transformation and change. The Chinese New Year is the Year of the
Monkey, which promises a year of ambition and adventure coupled with a sense of
humor. Many of us have felt like our New
Year’s resolutions were on hold due to Mercury retrograde, so we now have an opportunity
to get back on track with the official start of the Chinese New Year of the
Monkey. The monkey is associated with
Sagittarius in Chinese astrology, so we will get a jolt of fire energy and
enthusiasm to blast us out of our inertia and winter doldrums.
The new moon occurs in 19 degrees of Aquarius at 9:39 a.m.
on February 8th. Uranus in 17
degrees is smiling on this new moon with its sextile to both the sun and moon,
ensuring that change can happen lightning fast.
Mars in 18 degrees of Scorpio is squaring this new moon, giving it a
rather edgy vibe. Don’t be surprised if
these changes feel as if they are forced upon you. But Mars is also sextiling Pluto in 16
degrees of Capricorn. This aspect tends
to center us and fuels our determination and courage. This new moon will encourage us to take risks
because avoiding change is not an option these days.
I don’t think that I will be exactly snoozing through this
new moon myself. I have still been feeling the effects of Mercury retrograde in
shadow: I literally can’t wait until February 14th when it is
FINALLY out of the shadow and we have a complete green light to move
forward. I have been experiencing problems with my astrology
software, the sound on my tablet, and yesterday our fire alarm blasted for over
two hours. I’ve also missed connections
with some clients. So this shadow period
is very real and personal for me. As for
the new moon in Aquarius, it falls in my 5th house but conjuncts my
Mars in the 4th house. A
boost of creativity is always nice, but there are also some home improvements
underway at my house. And Mars is
conjunct my Sun in the 2nd house, so perhaps there will be a little
boost of energy to secure additional income or resources. Of course, this new moon is also squaring my
Scorpio sun, which should provide more edginess and impetus for change. In recent weeks during the official Mercury
retrograde, I have been contemplating teaching Reiki and perhaps starting a
weekly astrology class. I definitely
have been feeling rather impatient and restless, so this new moon on my Mars
and transiting Mars on my sun in the 2nd house may jolt me into
action.
There will be a pretty intense planetary buildup to this
new moon which is set in motion on February 6th. The moon is still in Capricorn on that day
and both Venus and the moon conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, which is definitely
not for lightweights. This is
accompanied by a square from Uranus in Aries which can deliver more surprises
and conflicts. Strong emotions regarding
relationships, finances and value may erupt.
Venus and Pluto interacting always tend to generate their fair share of
drama. The moon enters Aquarius on February 7th, and the Aquarius
Sun squares Mars in Scorpio. What a
fitting aspect for Super Bowl Sunday with all of that offensive and defensive
energy!
We are also still benefiting from the ongoing alignment of
Jupiter conjuncting the north node in Virgo as it guides us intuitively on our
path. The north node in Virgo has an underlying theme of service to
others. In that spirit of pursuing my
path as a healer, I am channeling that north node and Jupiter in Virgo energy
by offering my Reiki services. If you are in the Boston area, please consider
getting a Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to
destress, revitalize and remove blockages to healing. It’s a perfect way to start your weekend
off. Reiki is the most profound
treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.
