New Moon in Aquarius

“Many hands make light work” John Heywood
February’s New Moon is Monday the 8th at 19 degrees of Aquarius. This New Moon provides excellent timing to commit or recommit to important goals or initiatives that may have stalled out during the month of January. The sign of Aquarius speaks of the enlightened collaborator. It is a good time for strengthening bonds with people and organizations that share your aspirations.
There can the tendency towards impulsiveness at this time but it is better to commit to incremental, slow, steady steps to get where you want to go.
One of the Sabian symbols associated with this New Moon is, ” A large white dove bearing a message.” Another is, “A parrot listening and then talking repeats a conversation he has overheard.”
In this time of information and opinion overload it is wise with the influences to consider how you listen, who and what you are listening to and the authenticity and quality of what you are saying.
 As with the Queens and Kings  of old, an Astrologer or Tarot Card Reader should be a trusted ally on your life’s path.

February as the New January

“Central to the art of leading a magical life is the task of weeding our garden, choosing which thoughts we want to blossom. Mercury’s discriminatory function reminds us to monitor our thoughts in regard to how they make us feel.’ Caroline W Casey
There is a lot of talk in the astrological community about how this year “February is the new January.”- a quote from Kelly Surtees in reference to New Year’s intentions which often are set on or around Jan 1. This year better timing for getting off to a good start with intention setting occurs on the New Moon of February 8.
Mercury’s retrograde transit in January as well as the conjunction with Pluto have both indicated a time of review or a time of rethinking how you use your mind and your thoughts rather than a time of proceeding with a new agenda. So if you have felt disheartened, February’s New Moon brings a new start.
This week as Mercury slowly moves out of Pluto’s territory and Venus finishes up her dance with Pluto after the 6th , things will begin to lighten up as they both move towards a good alignment with Jupiter – the planet of expansion and optimism.
