Hello friends,
Happy Lunar New Year! This week ushers in the year of the Wooden Dragon in Chinese astrology, as well as the season of the New Moon in Aquarius, in the western school of astrology that I (usually) practice and teach. It’s juicy, fun and cheerful. . . a GREAT time for setting intentions for development and growth.
The Chinese zodiac consists of all real animals. The ONE that isn’t real is a dragon. It inspires mythical, inspiring and imaginative dreams and encourages you to go beyond the ordinary limits!
The Sun and the Moon meet on Friday, February 9, 2024, at 20 degrees and 40 minutes of Aquarius: on the day of Venus and the hour of Mars. We find a take-action-to-your-dreams chart with the Arabic part of plays activated, and an exalted Mars in Capricorn forming a sextile with Neptune in Pisces. Saturn is in the Seventh House of Partnerships, right on the World Point at 7.5 degrees Pisces, encouraging us to make relationship choices that are dignified and wise. Who do you REALLY want to work with and why?
Get your ducks in a row! Ceres, the asteroid of the Mother Goddess, is located on the World Point at 0 Capricorn. Creative projects undertaken now can have a big, big impact. Focus your attention on what you really love and keep believing in it. We are entering a new era.
It is true that the Goddess of Love is in a somewhat challenging position, balancing the two Nodes of Destiny in Aries and Libra. HOWEVER, the nodes are working extremely well together at the moment: the North Node in Aries answers Mars and the South Node in Libra answers Venus, and Venus and Mars are getting along extremely well and are approaching a conjunction in Capricorn. You can use all the unruly parts of yourself and use them for your big goals.
The last Wood Dragon year was 1964, a moment of significant progress toward equal civil rights in the United States. It is up to us to maintain the vision. Change DOES happen! It’s a powerful moment, our first New Moon since Pluto changed signs for the first time in 16 years. Say hello and welcome him to the Aquarius party, where there’s room for everyone. Forward!
If you would like to learn more about the energy of this week’s New Moon and how it enters YOUR birth chart, I invite you to join my Webinar for the New Moon Manifestation Circle on Wednesday, February 7 at 7:30 PM Eastern.
Here’s to our clear visions!
