Today’s New Moon in Aquarius is the first lunar reset of the year; the Lunar New Year. Aquarius represents innovation, transformation, and collective evolution, inviting us to pull together the unseen connections. Occurring in a trine with Jupiter, this New Moon is broad-minded and confident. Pluto, the planet of extremes, is also newly settled in Aquarius and made an exact conjunction to Mercury on January 28th. These transits are edgy for sure, but they signal an initiation, one that can awaken us to our ability to do alchemy. “Aquarius’ gifts to humanity are certainty, intellectual rigor, and an aptitude to see the forest and the trees. This sign is unflinching when it comes to truth. A visionary, Aquarius isn’t one to wear rose-colored glasses, or get lost in the comment section. It has the fortitude to make up its own mind through a deep and intensive analysis of any topic.” (Astrologer Chani Nicholas’ interpretation is just too good not to share here.) It is clarity that we receive today, whether we want to see Truth or not. We’re being offered a chance to start the year off on a high and chase our dreams; however, in order to achieve this, we must relinquish the obstacles that are holding us back from fulfilling our desires. If we don’t take action, the universe will, and in an intense and dramatic way. Venus’ pre-shadow begins on January 28 and the retrograde commences on March 1, allowing our insecurities and relationship issues to come to the fore. We’ll be more aware of the problems as they haven’t changed or improved. Self-care is a must at this moment. Don’t overconsume your mind with other people’s drama or nonsense. If you choose to do so, be careful. Mars retrograde is still in gear until February 23, resulting in repressed sentiments coming out in the open. Have the conversations, make the moves, declutter the house, send the message, take the initiative to make the change you’ve been waiting for. A certain darkness is needed in order to accurately shoot for the stars.
