New Moon In Aquarius—Think “outside-the-box” to achieve success!

The Sun and Moon meet in the futuristic, freedom-loving sign of Aquarius at 6:07 p.m. (CST) on Friday, January 27, 2017. There are no major aspects influencing this New Moon in the sign of the water bearer. The closest aspect in effect at this time is Venus in Pisces “squaring-off” with Saturn in Sagittarius. This is not a “warm and fuzzy” aspect as Saturn can restrict the loving energy of Venus. We may feel distanced from others or find it difficult to express love and affection. Saturn’s influence may also cause us to think seriously about our relationships and commitments at this time. This could mean a “make it or break it” time for some relationships.

Venus rules both love and money. In Pisces, the Goddess of Love is living in a romantic dream world, wanting to gloss over truths that might burst idealistic bubbles surrounding lovers or finances. Authoritative Saturn in Sagittarius is ready to do just that by shooting a few arrows of awareness at those glittery bubbles, forcing us to face reality. We may see the harsh truth of our financial situation, or wake up to uncomfortable understandings within relationships. This is a time of testing, where we must look at relationships or finances and deal with any issues realistically. We can no longer sweep things under the rug hoping they will go away. Now is the time to create an action plan! With the New Moon in visionary Aquarius, we are blessed with favorable energy to “think outside-the-box” as we embrace new ideas or develop fresh solutions to any difficulties.

Jupiter in Libra helps soften relationship conflicts with benevolent diplomacy, lending support and optimism to any careful plans hatched under the influence of “task-master” Saturn. Yet, we may feel an increased need to break free from restraints as Jupiter opposes rebellious Uranus in courageous Aries. Communicator Mercury in Capricorn is moving toward a conjunction with Dark Lord Pluto giving us the opportunity to dive deep in search of solutions to problems, revealing any flaws in our thinking or delivery that may be contributing to conflicts with authority figures. As long as we choose our words carefully, leaving bullying or manipulation behind, we can negotiate powerful “win-win” solutions that will benefit all, expressing the best side of this configuration.

Eccentric Aquarius, ruled by Uranus and co-ruled by Saturn, has the ability to see far into the future. Those born under this progressive sign intuitively understand the distant potential of innovative systems, inventions and societal structures as they channel visions of a future society where the needs of the many are served over the greed of the few. With a faraway look in their eyes, they are usually found dreaming a new world into being—one that many may not yet understand or be ready to embrace.

We can tap into the visionary energy of Aquarius at this New Moon—creating innovative beginnings in our own lives based on collaboration, justice and freedom for all.
