The Aquarius Spirit rises with a New Moon, Mercury, Sun, Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius
We have some very special days coming up with a New Moon, Chinese New Year, and the start of the Year of the Tiger, as well as Valentine’s Day ~ celebrating love and connection.
In Western astrology, this week is all about the energies of Aquarius with five planets in this innovative sign. If you remember the song from the musical Hair: “This is the dawn of the Age of Aquarius,” you’ll know that Aquarians are such original, revolutionary, and maverick thinkers that they reshape the world for the better. They are not interested in how things have always been, but in a world of freedom and equality for all. They always have their eyes on the future, not the past. The cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s epitomized Aquarius’ need to rebel against the established order and generate a new vision. I loved that musical when I was a kid! Somehow he was mysterious and uplifting, that was all that mattered to me.
Aquarius is the sign of the eleven in the development of the zodiac. It is considered masculine and represents the air element, even if it is represented as a woman carrying water. That may seem strange at first glance. But water is associated with nurturing, and Aquarians are fundamentally caring humanitarians, with a deep interest and genuine concern for other people. They are willing to volunteer their time to serve humanitarian organizations because they really care.
Prepare for a new orientation within your mind (Mercury), some impatience (Moon) and new ideas about who you could be at your highest potential (Sun), open to new healing technologies or a new angle for your personal well-being or healing. (Chiron) and deepen your feelings of unity and connection with life and others (Neptune). This is hard to swallow and will obviously last for more than a week, just consider it the start of a longer period of meeting the Spirit of Aquarius within you. You can take advantage of consciously aligning with this flow and find that rebel within you. Think about where your life has gotten stuck and needs a little shake up…
You can read the following information as a weekly forecast or you can use the descriptions of the different astrological information independently because they describe astrological wisdom beyond the quality of real time at the moment.
These are the specific constellations for this week:
o Mercury sails to Aquarius with a quincunx to Jupiter
o Mercury opposite Mars
o Venus enters Pisces
or New Moon in Aquarius
o Conjunction Sun, Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius
o Moon in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius
Uranus rules Aquarius
Uranus rules Aquarius and, with Saturn, the 11th House (Friends and Vision) and enacts the values and qualities of Aquarius in their outrageous and riotous ways. In the body, Uranus rules the nervous system, mental disorders, and the pituitary gland.
Although, of course, order and balance are important in the world, the other side of the coin, change and evolution towards greater love, freedom and well-being for all, is just as important. Human society could not evolve and expand unless there are individuals who challenge the established order. We need them! Uranus is a progressive visionary and humanitarian who has no special respect for authority; he exercises his will over authority in his idealistic pursuit of freedom, justice, and opportunity for the weaker members of society.
Uranus is the opposite of brother Saturn: where Saturn worries about limitations, Uranus rules our expansive and creative intelligence, calling us to inspired thought and action, and to uniqueness rather than conformity. Those qualities derive from our connection to universal intelligence. Change is a code word for Uranus, it always changes for the better, and the faster the better, towards expanded life and the higher realms of consciousness. The Uranus principles describe our best leaders and role models.
As you can see, Uranus and Saturn make a strong couple and somehow belong together in their seemingly opposite roles.
The big square T
It sounds like the Big Bang and some people expect it to act a bit like that. We are in the midst of a serious shake-up of the old that will continue throughout this year.
And, of course, our friend Uranus, as well as Saturn, is involved in the so-called T-square, which is much talked about in the astrological community due to its far-reaching implications for our present time of change. Saturn’s opposition to Uranus occurs five times between November 8 and July 2010 and is activated by a square to Pluto in the T-square 3 times between November 2009 and August 2010.
There is a global impact of all of this that shows up as a major cultural turning point, a challenge, and a beginning in the unraveling of the structures of our society that we have all feared since the financial markets began to collapse and the economy began to decline. crumble. But there is also a very personal impact that each of us faces as an individual and we are called to action with adjustments in our personal lives and this week is a good week to align more with it.
Mercury Sails to Aquarius with a Quincunx to Jupiter
Uranus and Aquarius represent a very strong intellect, and intellect combined with wit makes great discoveries in science and the most impressive artistic creations. But with Mercury settling into the very intellectual and aloof sign of Aquarius, we could end up “becoming bright but cold Mr. Ghost,” as astrologer Jeff Jawer put it. If it weren’t for the optimism of Jupiter and loving Venus making her new home in Pisces, we could lose ourselves in the righteousness of the general revolution and kill our own children and a bright future as happened in the French Revolution that was ending. in a great bloodshed of all killing all.
Uranus is not for sissies and can easily get carried away thinking that the ends justify the means.
Mercury in Aquarius Opposite Mars in Leo
Opposition Mercury Mars can fuel New Moon impatience and make us more easily frustrated, irritated, or angry than usual. But their connection also carries the potential for immediate action and the implementation of new ideas. The solution can be found where Aquarius and Leo balance Leo’s ego need for self-gratification, applause and admiration with Aquarius’ integration of considering others, the larger group, family or society.
Venus enters Pisces
Venus, the goddess of love, is exalted in Pisces, which means she is at home in the all-encompassing and transcendent sign of Pisces. Loving Venus softens the raw edges of the week with all the impatient energy of Aquarius and helps us keep in touch with what life really is, our inner connection to all that is, life in all its forms. Venus in Pisces points us to our vision and dreams of unity and true love and that is the first necessary step to get there. I love this quote from Abraham-Hicks: “Sometimes people say, ‘Well, Abraham, shouldn’t I face reality?’ We say, no, never do that! Never face reality unless it’s perfect in every way.”
This is certainly different from what I have been taught. But think about it. Nothing has ever been created without the idea or vision first. Each house had a blueprint and an architectural plan first before being built. How can you hope to live a more fulfilling and fulfilling life in any way if you don’t allow yourself to dream of it first and then take action to achieve it? The trick with the manifestation thing is to keep your attention on the vision and not dwell on the lack of manifestation that hasn’t happened yet. Be patient in the constant flow of development and the endless creation process that you will never end with. You might as well enjoy the ride and keep your eyes on the prize. And use any excuse to be happy and feel joy along the way.
New Moon in Aquarius
The New Moon of each month is traditionally a magical time when the old ends and the new is ready to emerge. It is a time to go in and take a look at your month and how it has been for you and since its completion to visualize the cycle of your next month. I think of the New Moon space a bit like New Year’s resolutions. The New Moon is on Saturday and you may be able to make the time to sit down with your journal and do your inner work. Write down your desires and where you want to go, have or achieve this coming month. Be specific.
When I do vision work, I use a crystal to store my visions and keep it on my altar or meditate with the stone. It works like an anchor, multiplies and strengthens the energy of my visions and keeps me more focused and grounded with it. If you like to read exactly how to use quartz crystal to manifest your dreams, I have written more articles about it.
The New Moon in Aquarius could make us more impatient than usual. My natal Moon is in Aquarius so I will be especially in tune with this New Moon. I am planning accordingly and will have time with my friends doing fun things together. We’ll go dancing and then have a spa day with infrared sauna, steam and hot tub, just the thing to do with your sisters at heart.
Cleaning yourself and preparing yourself physically, emotionally and psychically honors the spirit of the New Moon.
Sun, Chiron and Neptune conjunction in Aquarius
This conjunction widens our horizon again to include others in our considerations, feeling part of something bigger than our small individuality and ego. We can find satisfaction and fulfillment in being a helpful and contributing member of our circle of friends, the people we work with, or society. We can heal the estrangement and anxieties we may have with groups and learn to engage with our community in a new way.
I really want to know how you spend your New Moon and Valentine’s Day. I hope you enjoyed the article, have a wonderful inspired week, aloha and many blessings Shakti.
