New Moon in Aquarius, Feb. 13. Chinese New Year, Feb. 14 ~ The year of the (Metal) Tiger!
~ Take time to really think, then write down your goals and visions for 2010. Leave the door open for the Universe to provide for you in divine and perfect ways :)

New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting seeds, and setting intentions. This month the Sun, Moon, Chiron, and Neptune all conjunct Neptune’s discovery degree. The planet Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846 at 25 degrees of Aquarius. The call for compassionate service, understanding, and unity becomes even more important. Mythologist Joseph Campbell said “Survival is the second law of life, the first is we are all one”. Let us invite the healing dance between Chiron and Neptune into our medicine bundle.

This New Moon, along with Chiron and Neptune, all activate the U.S. Moon in the Sibly chart. For many, the ideal of the American dream seems to be eroding or more elusive than ever. With the alarming rise in home foreclosures, inaccessibility to health care and the current credit crisis, the once held ideal and value of the American dream has turned into a nightmare. The New Moon is in opposition to Obama’s natal Uranus at 25 degrees of Leo! This clearly suggests that President Obama needs to make a radical shift with many of his current policies. The progressive wing of the Democratic party feels abandoned and betrayed by his promise to bring real change to Washington. His aloofness and detachment (Aquarius) in the health care debate left many in a
state of shock and disillusionment.

The degree for this New Moon from Zodiacal Symbology reads: Three fires blazing above three triangular hills, a cross sword floating above. Denotes one of mystic and reformative leanings who may be impressed by invisible forces for certain work on earth, but who may not be conscious of the part he is called to play. Venus conjuncts Jupiter in Pisces from the 14-16th (Valentine’s Day) offering blessings from the love goddess. A most favorable time for expanding social circles, spiritual pursuits, and financial generosity. Faith and trust brings fulfilling relationships. It’s a good time to make amends with someone you love.

Mars retrograde since December 20, 2009, goes direct (forward) on March 10, 2010. Mars turns retrograde only once about every two years. The Mars retrograde cycle is symbolic of the warrior laying down his sword in order to re-group before the next battle. In Mars retrograde we tend to think about ways of acting rather than pushing forward. Personal concerns and issues are always on a slow-burn during Mars retrograde periods. As Mars moves direct the warrior picks up his sword with a renewed sense of confidence and courage. Facing things direct and head on rather than through deflection becomes his new battle strategy. With Obama’s Sun in Leo and Mars moving direct, we hope he will regain a new sense of courage and act like a lion not a lamb!

New Moon Solar Eclipse at 25 degrees Capricorn, January 15, 2010

New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds, and setting intentions. This is one of the more powerful lunations for the New Year as a partial Solar Eclipse. In general, eclipses are a New Moon or Full Moon on steroids and always carry an extra punch! Eclipses are like “Wild Cards” in the deck of life often signaling endings and new beginnings. More importantly they are harbingers of illumination and new revelations.

With the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Pluto, and the north node in Capricorn, this is a most favorable time to solidify new opportunities with our career and business plans. Capricorn is a sign of ascension, as it wants to scale mountains and reach the summit of life. This New Moon conjuncts Venus, helping us take responsibility and value commitment within our important relationships. Venus in Capricorn always demands respect! The last solar eclipse at this degree was back in January of 1991! What was going on in your life then? What’s happening in your life now?

One of the mythic archetypes for Capricorn is the myth of Hephaestus. He was the unloved and unwanted son of Zeus and Hera. Because he was born disfigured with a clubfoot they threw him off Olympus to die. He was adopted and raised by two sea nymphs, Thetis and Eurynome who nurtured him for nine years but still felt his rejection and woundedness keenly. Hephaestus learned to be a craftsman making beautiful jewelry for his adoptive parents. He also built the palaces for the Olympians, created Zeus’s thunderbolts, and built the winged chariot for Apollo, God of the sun. Hephaestus became the great artisan of the Olympians. The myth of Hephaestus is symbolic of the wounded artist archetype.

The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon at 26 Capricorn reads: A nature spirit dancing in the iridescent mist of a waterfall. Keynote: The ability to perceive the hidden and creative spirit of natural phenomena. Mercury begins to move forward on the 15th and conjuncts Pluto. It’s time to move ahead with new ideas and plans that were on the back burner. Never underestimate the power of words! Crystallized thinking brings results. Mercury crosses its shadow point on February 3-4 at 21 degrees of Capricorn.

Fiery Mars is retrograde until March 10 when he moves forward in motion and stays in Leo until June 6. Mars retrograde is not the best time to initiate new projects or take definitive action. This is a good time to re-ignite our creative fires through confident resolve. Find the courage within to allow you to become immersed in a slow burn of creative incubation. Mars retrograde conjuncts President Obama’s descendant as he meets with stiff opposition from many sources. When Mars moves into Virgo on June 7th, he can gain strength and get his Mojo back!

By Kerry Fezza 2010

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wow! What better way to start a new decade than with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Cancer?

Astro Activities:
