Into the Mystic

The New Moon @ 13°54 Aquarius occurs on February 2nd, 2011 @ 9:31 pm EST, Feb. 3rd 2:31 am UT.

Independent, visionary and ingenious, Aquarius is co-ruled by Saturn and Uranus and when well functioning is capable of bringing into today’s reality forms that offer a bridge to the future. Though the co-rulers of this sign may seem odd bed-fellows, Saturn provides the perseverance and grounding energy that is necessary to implement into a material world structure the cutting edge insights of Uranus. As the natural 11h sign of the Zodiac, Aquarius also serves the function of aligning like-purposed individuals in order to advance societal development through their collaborated endeavors.

******************

The specifics of this New Moon:

Applying aspects(indicating future events) include the Sun/Moon tightly conjunct Mars while co-ruler of the lunation, Saturn,is  applying trine to the conjunction trio. Saturn is nicely aspected for this New Moon by quintile to Venus, the ruler of Saturn’s current residence. Venus also is applying to an out of sign square with Jupiter in early Aries.

Separating aspects(representing past events) include a semi-square from the Sun/Moon/Mars trio and the lunation’s second co-ruler Uranus. The Venus-Uranus square is also separating.

The Sabian Symbol for the Sun/Moon @ 14° Aquarius is: “A Train entering a Tunnel” and for Mars @ 15° Aquarius: “Two Lovebirds Sitting on a Fence Singing Happily”.

These degree’s illustrate a transition into harmonic collaboration and are beautifully descriptive of the nature of this New Moon.

With Uranus and Jupiter in a separating conjunction spanning late Pisces(endings) and early Aries (beginnings), and Uranus due to reenter Aries in March, we truly are in a stage of transition and now we have the benefit of Mars assisting our transition by lending drive to act upon opportunities that will foster harmonic collaborations in our lives.

Saturn transiting Libra has been evaluating and strength testing our relationships for some time now, as well as mentoring us on where we ourselves could(and probably should..smiles!) make improvements in the manners in which we conduct ourselves within relational matters. Due to the supportive trine applying with Saturn and the New Moon our personal relationships will play into the current lunation dynamics to some degree.

With the Saturn in Libra influence in this lunation I feel we see not only the group markers in play by Aquarius but we are also looking to our most personal relationships of mate’s and business partners to determine how they fit into our Aquarian roles and if our, and their, paths are similar or at least somewhat compatible for our future roles.

Though Aquarius is strongly resonant with individuality(as is Aries) it also fosters collaboration through group endeavors where as Aries tends to express it’s individuality in a more primal nature and is not overly concerned with the approval nor assistance of others. Aquarian individuality is therefore an essence of being able to maintain one’s individuality while being part of a larger group and this most often is achieved in groups where a similar cause/purpose is present that supercedes concerns of a lower ego based nature that would prevent individuals from working or socializing together.

Once again considering the Saturn-Libra influence on this lunation I believe we are reminded that it can be very difficult to maintain a more personal relationship in a healthy form if the humanitarian viewpoints and/or future objectives of the individuals within said relationship are not compatible  and/or if one, or both parties, are unable to reasonably respect the personal importance to their partner of their individual friendships and group participation’s.

***********

This New Moon offers a lot of promise in assisting one to align with others of similar/same interests and to also help to identify where any current relations may not be conducive to one’s goals/intentions and a change of course in some manner is needed.

Obviously we need to be clear and in-tune with ourselves as to what is of importance to us and where we wish to be in the future so that we are singing the proper tune that shall align us with others we can find harmonic resonance with. Due to the separating aspects of this lunation I feel most have at least some idea of who(m) or what they are not harmonizing with.

The months ahead are favorable for socialization so it is time to work towards getting ourselves with those we wish to be enjoying some pleasurable times with. 🙂
