As I write this post on Jan 20 the Sun entered Aquarius and the Earth entered Leo early this morning at 3.30 am EST. They have activated the Tarot Constellation of Strength: courage and self-esteem.

The theme is courage of your convictions, discovering your inner strength, courage to be yourself, and strengthening your connection to Source. For me that is Creator and Great Mystery. That is also the theme for this Aquarius New Moon cycle. In Esoteric Astrology these are 5^th Ray signs, knowledge and healing, with Archangels Raphael, the Shinning One who heals, and Mary, acceptance and unconditional love. Healing and Love is also the theme.

Aquarius is the sign associated with friendship, group ideals, and Collective Consciousness. It is also individuality and innovation. It connects us to Cosmic Consciousness. Being open to the messages from the Universe to guide us is very important. Here is a recent personal experience. My family had been considering adopting a new dog to join our pack (a dog and two cats). Last week we found a ten month old German Shephard who needed a new home. Our resident dog is also a Shephard Mix. Last night as we were talking about bringing home the new Pup today we all felt a little apprehensive. As we were expressing our concerns a song popped into my head. “This is my message to you…Don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright”. This is a Bob Marley song called “Three Little Birds”. Although I know his music it was unusual for me to hear the lyrics. Message from the Universe for sure.  Today our new animal companion arrived and everything has been “alright”. This is my affirmation for this Moon cycle. What is yours?

Spiritual Aquarius is our hopes, wishes, dreams and the gifts of healing we have come to share with the world (5^th Ray). Even if we do not have any planets in this sign we all have Aquarius somewhere in our natal chart. This Aquarius New Moon cycle is about sharing our gifts. The Sun/Moon are at 01 degree Aquarius 32 travelling with Pluto at 28 degrees Capricorn 20 (transformation of society and opening our path to giving our Soul gifts). We can see this as an initiation for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius on March 23. The New Moon is sextile (new opportunities) Juno and Jupiter both at 04 degrees Aries (new inspired relationship vision). Jupiter is the Soul Centered ruler of Aquarius and supports us to grow and expand our spiritual vision. There are other planetary pairs that also emphasize this.

The traditional ruler for Aquarius is Saturn. He is at 24 degrees Aquarius travelling with Venus at 23 degrees Aquarius. Together they support us to strengthen our foundation based on harmony and balance. They are guided by Uranus Rx at 14 degrees Taurus (breakthrough to the new) who is working in harmony with the Goddess Hygiea at 13 degrees Capricorn (healing ourselves and the world). Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius so breakthrough is also a theme for this Moon cycle. He has been retrograde (inner breakthrough) since 24 Aug 2022 and moves direct on Jan 22/23 (breaking free). The other significant pairing is Neptune at 23 degrees Pisces (illusion or enlightenment) travelling with Vesta at 22 degrees Pisces (our commitment to the spiritual path). They are guided by Jupiter (higher consciousness) and the Soul Centered ruler of Pisces, Pluto (transformation).  

The release point of the YOD is Sagittarius (higher consciousness). The Royal Star Antares is at 10 degrees Sagittarius (transition and transformation). Again this energy is with us until early Feb. It is the opportunity to heal and release the past.

The Clan Mother who guides us in this Aquarius New Moon cycle is Wisdom Keeper. She is the Mother of friendship, Planetary Unity, and Mutual Understanding. She teaches us to honour the truth. She is the guardian of Ancient Knowledge and Wisdom. For the Earth in Leo we are guided by She Who Heals. She is the Keeper of the Healing Arts and the Intuitive Healer. She teaches us how to serve the truth. (The 13 Original Clan Mothers by Jamie Sams).

Our Animal Totem guide for the Aquarius New Moon cycle is Otter, companionship, friendship, and sharing. I love when River Otters sleep they hold hands so they don’t float away. Maybe that is where “A helping hand” comes from. For the Earth in Leo we are guided by Salmon, courage and determination to create the new. They are reversed for the Southern Hemisphere.

We are a little late in posting this but our new family member needed attention. But as Bob Marley’s song said “everything is ALLRIGHT”   

Namaste and blessings,

Dale
