We greet our first new moon of the year with open arms. Aquarius, despite being ruled by Saturn, still steps to his own beat. He takes something original and electric and brings it forth to the collective as a gift, one we don’t always understand.
Moon and Sun conjunct at 1 degree aquarius after grazing over Pluto at 28° while making his last few steps in Capricorn. Pluto adds an almost exfoliating quality to things, removing things to allow expansion and freshness, though this process is almost never comfortable or easy. It helps us to create space.
Sun and Moon make positive aspects to Jupiter in Aries and Mars in Gemini. Expansion can be painful, think of growing taller… expansion can also be exciting. There is life to this new moon, less stagnancy then the previous months have held. More forward motion. An air of swiftness. If you intend to start new ventures this moon is a great time to start planning, and putting action and energy behind those plans.
Saturn sits at 24° Aquarius and Venus at 23° Aquarius
We see some sort of pay out to situations that we have applied ourselves to. The opposite can also be true if we’ve been dragging our feet, where we see a restriction placed on things we’ve been avoiding. Whether that is in our relations, or our belongings.

If Neptune in Pisces has had us down the rabbit hole and Pluto is actively working to dissolve structures that we’ve outgrown while it’s still in Capricorn, this can be a painful process. Where delusion or addictions are held Pluto wants the structure to break, Pluto in Cap wants us standing on solid ground. Not daydreaming, with our head in the clouds. Get realistic, put your feet on the ground.
Mercury in Capricorn 8 ° trines Uranus in Taurus 14 ° Square Jupiter in Aries 4° Our best ideas sometimes come from breaking our structures and branching out into territory that is unstable or uncertain. Try new paths that feel right for you. You don’t have to consult others when you are following your intuition.
