The Lunar New kicks off today and, along with a new moon, brings the fresh breeze of a Fire Horse Year. The Fire Horse is closely associated with the planet Jupiter so expect some beneficial outcomes this year and an expansion of your view this year. Of course it can be a wild ride at times. The New Year coincides with an annual solar eclipse so today is an important day to be mindful as it is influential in establishing/magnifying personal themes (astrologically speaking) until the next annual solar eclipse.

A canter is the cure for every evil.~ Benjamin Disraeli

The Moon is Void of Course in Aquarius from 7.01am until 9.09am. Avoid signing legal/contractual documents. Don’t over-think things at this time. Remember to breathe!

Theme: Insight and completion

The Moon is nearly in its last waning phase signaling completions, endings and providing a more reflective space. It’s an in-between but powerful place to be before the new Moon tomorrow. Saturn has finally moved into Aries and into a more comfortable sign for it’s material expression. Not so Neptune in Aries. Change and some upheaval is inevitable with these planetary placements. The Moon is conjunct Mars today so lots of activity, but not always easy.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.~ Kierkegaad

Theme: Powerful Emotions

Especially in the middle of the day the connection between the Moon and Pluto is very strong, indicating powerful emotions that will lessen later on. It is an excellent opportunity for insight in to ones self and others. Saturn has joined Neptune in Aries, which should provide more grounding in terms of our actions. With the Moon in Aquarius for a few days we will be more cool and detached except during the middle of the day, today.

We need a sense of the oneness of the 7 billion people alive today…. We all share the potential for positive and negative emotions, ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today until 1:18 am EST. Do not make any major decisions until after this time.

Theme: Slowing Down

Not only is the planet indicating communication and thought in a dreamy, ungrounded sign, Pisces, but Mercury is also slowing in the sky as it will go retrograde on 2/26. All the other planets except Jupiter are moving forward now so there is still a bit of time to get things done with some speed. Mercury is harmonizing with Jupiter for several days which enhances all mental efforts, especially making plans for the future and getting organized.

What if practicing peace is slowing down and realizing there’s more to see? ~Morgan Harper Nichols

The Moon is void of course from 8:33 pm today until 1:18 am the next day EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Inching Closer

Saturn is inching closer to being right on top of Neptune in the 2 dimensional sky that we work with in astrology. This enhances the tendency to look at life from the worst point of view. Be aware that things are not as bad as they seem. In a couple of days Saturn will join Neptune in Aries. This is not a good place for Saturn but it should help ground and limit warring tendencies. The Moon opposes Jupiter in the evening which will bolster our mood.

So of cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more of it remains. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Theme: Insight

With Mercury still conjunct the North Node, you can continue to take advantage of this insightful time where contemplative meditation can be very helpful. Also, your mind is generating ideas for where you can most fruitfully head next. Until Saturn moves into Aries this is still an important time to restructure your inner world through psychological examination, reflection and identifying deeply ingrained habits that prevent you from moving forward.

There is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.~ Goethe

The Moon is Void of Course in Sagittarius from 2.28pm to 2.44pm. Avoid signing contracts. Take time to breathe in this space.

Theme: Finding balance

The Sun and Moon are in good aspect bringing more flow, energy and upliftment to your day. The asteroid of healing Chiron, is well placed to help with the inner energy flow and repair: support from others is also helpful in the emotional healing process. With an even number of planets in both Aquarius and Pisces there is both a strong wish to commit to beneficial social change and yet be guided by your heart.

This is the beautiful truth about peace: when you give it away, it doesn’t diminish—it multiplies. When you share joy, you don’t lose it—you create more of it.~ Walk for Peace Monks

Tuesday by Wangmo

Theme: Communication and Contracts

With Venus/Mercury/North Node conjunction pay attention to positive developments in communications and contracts that can set you on the right path. It’s a time to find your True North whereby your life destination can be better aligned at this time. Venus and Mercury are now in Pisces encouraging you to connect with your heart to guide your way. The Moon moves into Sagittarius today: freedom, expansion, and re-igniting the spark beckon.

La Bella Luna! Where ever she is in the sky she is an inspiration to all who can receive an inspiration.~ HE Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course in Scorpio from 2am to 2.22am EST USA – almost a blink of an eye. Nevertheless, avoid signing contracts at this time.

Theme: Energy subsides and increases

The Moon is in its last quarter and with the waning phases it’s a good opportunity to complete tasks and projects and take time for reflection about what you can best accomplish at this time. The Moon is in Scorpio bringing your deeper, habitual self to the surface. Find time to do some inner psychological exploration. Four planets remain in Aquarius and the energy is a little contradictory – seeking social change and justice and yet there is also our resistance to change.

Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.~ Mark Twain

Theme: Irritable and Rushed

For much of the day we are hurried and prone to needless disputes. This is because the Moon is square to Mars. It is best to have a physical or intellectual outlet today. Beware of any situation where an accident can occur. In the evening the danger passes and the Moon is trine to Jupiter, which gives us a sense of well-being. It will be particularly rewarding to help others at this time. This is also a day when we can be lucky in relationships.

Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you and you show anger in return the result is a disaster. ~H H the Dalai Lama
