January 21st, 2023 New Moon 1 Degree.
We are on fertile ground astrologically speaking. There is a conglomeration of planets making positive aspects with one another. Time frame is Jan. 18- 31st+, at least! It’s New Moon/New YOU Time!! Let’s think of ourselves as farmers with a bucket full of celestial seeds that we plant in ourselves and others!!! It’s a win/win/win all the way around!! With the Sun and Moon in the air sign of humanitarian Aquarius it asks us to harness the power of the mind and be innovative. Take a chance, be forward thinking!! Here is your opportunity to think outside the box, even if it is only for the next 10-12 days.
If you’ve been itching for a celestial clean slate, your wait is over. The new moon in Aquarius is giving us the chance for a fresh start, both personally and in the collective sense.
Like any New Moon it is time to throw out the old and ring in the new – Aquarian-style!! This New Moon will present just like the people who are born January 21-February 20th – freedom lovers whose energy facilitates inventions of all kinds and cutting edge concepts. Think about anyone you may know born during this time frame. Aquarians create their own rules, fight city hall and deliberately break tradition. Usually what they set out to do will affect the masses and is in the name of freedom!! Those of you with Aquarius rising can relate to what I am saying because you are marked by intellectual ideals that break up the status quo thinking that can bring about even shocking change!
Rebellious sun-sign Aquarians, (and those of you with Aquarius Moon and Rising sign) this progressive lunation is encouraging you to embrace your unique individuality with hope and courage. Although, in the midst of soul searching and perhaps redefining your purpose, it’s important to consider the bigger picture, as the essence of Aquarius reminds you that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This means who you are today is a result of who you were once upon a time, considering your version of reality.
However, this New Moon is here to shed light on who you really are at an individual level, despite the conditioning of society and perhaps your upbringing. What happens when you walk to the beat of your own drum? Your soul’s frequency is unparalleled; don’t hesitate to tap into it. There’s no such thing as another you.
Lively Uranus is also a key player who is rock’n the clock during this new moon. Not only does the planet rule the event itself, since it’s the ruler of Aquarius,but it will also form a tense square to the new moon. This aspect could stir up anxiousness, but it just might get you off your seat to perform some innovative inspiring actions. You’ll want to rebel against the status quo and break free of anything that feels restrictive or conventional.
But speaking of restriction, the most powerful connection the moon will make is to taskmaster Saturn, the planet of limitations, boundaries, but also commitment and diligence. The Aquarius new moon as well as Venus will sit close to Saturn, making this a moment in which you’ll be motivated to begin ambitious projects. But it could be more about feeling pressured to do so, because whatever you need to get to work on is intertwined with your responsibilities. Uranus’ pull to act independently could add to the struggle as well.
With Mercury is no longer retrograde at the time of the new moon — and Uranus (quick, sudden, inspiring change) is about to turn direct later on Sunday, January 22nd — it’s possible that diving full-throttle into an ambitious game plan could be right under your nose!.
Uranus’ influence assists us in leaving the past behind while Saturn’s guidance helps us lay a new foundation for ourselves.
If you’re a Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, you’ll be feeling an especially harmonious and positive effect from this new moon.
So, during this winter time where it is dark and quiet, (for us northerners) plant those seeds of new beginnings. My Aussie/ New Zealand friends are basking in the summer sun!! Either way – Don’t be afraid to affect change! Act on your beliefs and watch these seedlings take root in your favor. The first 24 -72 hours after the exact new moon is the optimal power window to invoke assistance for help with communication, multi-tasking, research & networking.
