New Moon in Aquarius, Lunar New Year - Wood Snake
On January 23, Mercury in Capricorn opposes Mars retrograde in Cancer 23º and trines Uranus retrograde in Taurus at 23º. We are being asked to look at those new but practical perspectives that have been coming online as possible options for the way forward. Are we truly open to letting the new come through? Mars retrograde may point to where we are fighting old patterns that are getting in the way. This aspect can highlight arguments, resentment, and exchanging cold words if we need to confront an issue within ourselves or with another, but Uranus is lending support through keen and intuitive hits about the future. Listen to the hits.
On January 25, Venus in Pisces trines Mars retrograde in Cancer at 22º. Ah, the cosmic lovers in harmonious aspect. Finally, we have a moment available for resolve and compassionate connection. Today the latest tensions have the opportunity to relax. A great day for creativity, balance, and deepening our connections to both our relationships and to spirit itself. A day where the water element is especially powerful. Water activities are encouraged. Feelings can become unstuck and flow with more ease today. Creativity is more accessible. We are able to be more open and vulnerable in relationships.
On January 26, Venus in Pisces sextiles Uranus retrograde in Cancer at 23º and this aspect is active as Venus trines Mars. The aforementioned creative openness, flow, and willingness to be vulnerable is supported by making new choices and trying new ways of relating. Uranus is encouraging that we innovate our tools and resources, especially our inner resources, those that we lean on for stability. The freedom to do our own thing is both attractive and useful now. How can we implement a sense of freedom and autonomy in our connections? We may truly be bold enough now to imagine new options in relating, to follow unconventional desires despite fear of the unknown.
On January 27, Mercury in Capricorn sextiles the North Node in Pisces and trines the South node in Virgo at 28º. When Mercury aspects the Nodes, fated information has a tendency to come through. Pay attention to signs, symbols, paperwork, conversations, and thoughts that strike a chord. Important information for the way forward surfaces today, information about what is ending and what is just beginning.
On January 29, Mercury moves into the sign of Aquarius until February 14, and the Sun and Moon meet for the New Moon in Aquarius at 9º. At this time, Neptune is applying a conjunction with the North Node. This aspect is not exact, but because it is slow moving, can be felt all week, and is a strong influence under this new moon. It is worth mentioning as well, that Mercury is still within orb of a conjunction with Pluto. This is an intense Aquarius party. Aquarius is the sign of innovation, rebellion, humanity, and the future. This can be a very empowering time for those willing to embrace new chapters, and a more challenging time for those clinging to the past. What old thing still needs to be destroyed so that the new can emerge? We have a serious, intellectual call to make. A potent day to set intentions for what we would like to see grow in the coming weeks, and what we no longer wish to continue. Make the distinction. This is also the day of the Lunar New Year, the year of the wood snake. Some might say this is the real beginning of 2025.
