The 8 lunar phases

 

The 29-day lunar month is divided into eight phases.   Each phase has its own energy and expression and lasts three days.  I break down the phases for each month, and I also lay out the astrological aspects that are unfolding during that phase (most of which I provide background on in my report above).    Because the moon moves so quickly, I do not provide the lunar aspects unless we are in an extra charged period. For daily moon aspects I suggest going to Café Astrology and search ‘this week in astrology’.   I also recommend Honeycomb Collective for your own personal astro almanac.  Not too expensive and you will be using it all year.  

 

 

Aquarius New Moon

(28 AQ 49)

 

New moon: Plant seeds, make calls, activate, start projects.   Activate something that will ideally lead you to more results.  This is the phase where INTENT is critical.  Even if the results are not immediate, the intent is there.  You may not have all the answers or road map, but you should put out your Intent.   This new moon is an eclipse.  

 

This focus:    Who are your groups?  Who are your friends?  Are they in alignment with how you tick?   What abstract thing are you working on that has importance to you?  Who can you connect with and work on it together?   What is important to your community?  

 

Planetary notes:

 

2/17: Venus conjunction North Node.  (8 PI)  Find love of humanity.  Choosing kindness brings rewards.  

2/18: Sun enters Pisces

2/20: Saturn conjunct Neptune (00 AR 45)  

 

  

 

Crescent Moon Phase

Crescent:  We will receive information, we will research a bit more, perhaps get feedback on stuff that we planted on new.  Perhaps get some information that will help down the road on a seed we planted a while ago.  We can collect some data now.  Even if you think you are not getting information, stop, and re-look at everything.  Who called you?  Even the silliest things when they come up during Crescent are noteworthy.  A parking ticket.  An argument with a spouse?  A refund check from the phone company?  No matter how mundane it arrives, consider it as message.  How can this information help you?

 

Focus on: What are we learning about self-agency?  How are we being informed about our inner warrior?   What information are we gathering where we are both independent but have a connection with like-minded groups?    

 

Planetary notes: 

 

2/22: Mars sextile Chiron (23 AR) Fresh ideas that are helpful for new endeavors and new self-agency.  

2/22: Venus trine Jupiter (15 CA).  Joy, love, values get pumped up.  Cozy and mystical inform philosophy and beliefs.
