21st January New Moon in Aquarius

Hi everyone!  Tired?  It’s going to start looking up this year!  Breathe and wish!

Well, we’re into 2015 with the Cancerian Full Moon/Capricorn Sun welcoming us to the new year with a major letting go of memories and karmic residue which have been keeping us in a holding pattern for far too long. 

What’s been happening: 

Full Moon 5.1.15:    Download, Upload, Offload!

Along with the big ‘let go’ at the Full Moon, we experienced a realignment as we experienced a download, offload and upload. all at once!  The waves of change washed over us from before the Full Moon right through the next week, stirring up so much in our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual beings. 

It was a crossroads of change guaranteed to shift the most resistant of energies and move us onto our divine pathway of higher truth, love and fulfilment.

The Full Moon on 5th set in motion a chain of changes which continue as I write.

It’s been push to shove getting this update out to you.

From 12th to 18th January:  

A series of astrological changes and transits - shifts and changes! 

Mars entry into Pisces:  Releasing and upliftment of blocked emotional and spiritual energies in our bodies.  Cleansing and renewal of the physical. 

Venus and Mercury meeting in Aquarius:  

Alignment and new beginning for head and heart connection!

Heart and head uniting in the sign of idealism, humanity, friends, community,  higher purpose hopes and dreams.

Venus and Mercury in Aquarius triggered by Uranus in Aries:  

Sudden heart attack or simulated heart attack!

This was a huge wake up as Uranus has been sitting in close proximity to the South Node of the Moon in Aries, generally associated with memories and coding we’ve brought in from past lives, from family, from ancestors.  

Ancestors covers everything that’s ever existed on this earth.  So if you’ve been feeling as though you’re channelling the lost souls, unresolved energies of the earth and its peoples through your mind/heart connection, you won’t be far wrong.

I know a number of people have been experiencing personally or have witnessed in others the sudden awakening, jolting of the heart energy.  It was happening before Christmas when Venus moved into Capricorn, sign of earth’s karma and coding. Now, it’s more of a release and realignment energy.  With this, some of our number are passing on from the earthly plane.  Safe journey and bless!

Mars in Pisces in square to Saturn in Sagittarius:   

The physical body releasing karmic bonds, ancestral and earth memories, outdated/genetically embedded belief systems.

If you’ve had to stop, take to your bed, the sofa, stay home and rest in the past week, you’re not alone.  For those who’ve had to carry on with working situations during this time, I trust that it’s all part of the journey.  Sometimes we need the triggers that come from work, family or relationships to release these energies. 

12th January:    

Mars moved into Pisces at 9.20 pm AEDT

...taking to the cleansing waters!

until 20th February

Mars, our fire and drive, our physical body takes to the Pisces waters!

Slow down Silver!

Mars is our horsepower and our horsepower is taking us through the waters in a purifying and cleansing of the emotional energies held within our physical bodies.

Yes, it is slowing us a little even though these horse are taking to the water with verve and gusto, we know once they get to deeper water, they’ll be swimming to keep their heads above water.  So, until after 20th, no pushing and shoving.  Just let the water cleanse and carry us all!

The past 2 weeks:    Resolving unresolved energies!

Maybe you didn’t consciously feel emotional but more than likely, any unresolved emotions, unresolved spiritual forces within our being have been squeezed out of our bodies like a sponge being squeezed dry.

With Mars entry into Pisces, we had the opportunity to release blocked emotional and spiritual energies from our physical bodies.

Clearing the emotions from the bodies:

Mars, our physical body, is being soaked in the waters of the collective unconscious, in the waters of spiritual renewal and cleansing.  In all likelihood you may have been experiencing emotional energies emerging from the body, whether through physical illness, depletion of energies, feeling like a soppy sponge needing a good squeeze. 

The power of physical illness:    Getting back to the spirit of things!

Sometimes, we can be taken down physically just so our bodies can release these energies which are festering within us.  When our physical bodies are challenged, more often than not, emotions arise whether feelings of weakness, fear, insecurity, inadequacy etc.  We count on our physical bodies for a sense of empowerment and when they’re weakened, our attachment to that physical empowerment is challenged.  We’re called to reach for a power beyond the physical.  It doesn’t matter what you call it.  It’s ‘the force’ of spirit!

A culmination and completion of Mars journey around the astrological wheel:  Finishing off, being finished off!

Pisces is the final sign in the astrological wheel, the sign where connection with all, transcending small mindedness and egotistical focus on self gains momentum.  It’s a culmination of energies every time a planet moves into this sign.

Refreshed and renewed from this week on:  The Aquarian Sun and New Moon helping us to dry out!

As Mars moves through Pisces, we’re likely to start feeling refreshed and renewed.  The full impact won’t come through until he finishes his time in the ‘car’ wash on 20th February, the day after the next New Moon in Aquarius!  The Sun and New Moon in Aquarius this week will do heaps to help us dry out all the emotions and squeeze our physical sponges dry!

20th January:     Mars meets/conjoins Neptune in Pisces, the sign of the collective unconscious, spiritual transcendence!

When Mars meets with Neptune today, he starts to experience a fresh start, a new beginning with the Neptunian transcendent energies where the small ego, the small ‘I’ recognises he’s part of the bigger picture in the greatest road trip of all time.  There he is above running with the other horses as one of a pack!

Transcending the ‘little’ self and joining the collective road to evolution:

When we’re at odds with our higher selves, we are at odds with the masses and end up in a traffic jam where no-one’s going anywhere fast!  The image I like is the horses, running together in the spirit of movement as one.  We are all heading in the same direction, even when we’re in conflict with ourselves and the greater whole. 

What’s coming in:

20th January:    Sun moves into Aquarius
at 8.44 pm AEDT...a leap of faith!  The final test!

The light of freedom calls:    
Accessing the bigger picture with a clear mind! 

Aquarius offers a strong mental focus and an opportunity to step back from the emotions, particularly overwhelming in the past few weeks as we’ve been mopping up after the Cancer Full Moon along with the body immersed in an overwhelming cleansing process. 

Expecting the unexpected:  
The Sun joins Mercury and Venus in Aquarius...party power!

Uranus is ruler of Aquarius so the Sun in Aquarius brings the spirit of surprise, the unexpected along with some original thinking offering new solutions to old problems.  Aquarius asks us to seek the ideal for humanity as a whole, to unify through a common vision and to find solutions to this unification process through unusual, entirely new ideas coming forward from humanity.

One heart, one mind:  Our world community aligning with higher ideals!

With our minds and hearts already travelling together in Aquarius, we’ve been working with the realignment and reworking of hearts and minds in the sign of idealism, of humanity working as one community.

Breaking free and breaking out:  Radical solutions take us forward!  
A break out!

Aquarius energy will not be confined by the bounds of tradition or the old order.  We’re getting a real shot in the arm at this time as Aquarius uplifts our mind, our thinking and our thought processes out of the historical and traditional energies of Cancer/Capricorn that have been with us over the past month. 

Emerging from the Cancer/Capricorn historical and karmic ties:  
Release of the status quo!

The Cancer full moon was all about release and renewal of family history and memories and the Capricorn Sun has been shining a light on our physical presence on and embodiment of planet earth and it’s traditions and karmic ties.

Setting the goals for this month:  Freedom calls!  Look, no strings!

What does freedom mean for you?  The fulfilment of our highest potential is a win/win for us and for the planet.  This next month or two offers a huge uplift for us all to reach for that hope and dream for our own fulfilment and happiness on earth.  Aquarius offers the leap of faith and we now have some weeks where this energy is offering itself to us with two new moons and Mercury in this sign until mid March.  That offers mind liberation and upliftment.

21st January:    New Moon in Aquarius at 12.14 am AEDT at 0 degrees 09 Aquarius

Make a wish upon a star, reach for the stars and take a stairway to the stars! 

These are all phrases, sayings, lyrics with which we’re all familiar.  We associate Aquarius with the star energy as it’s our chance to connect with the element of air, the mental energies which rule Aquarius.  Of course, all the signs have their particular associations in the skies, the cosmos.  So, look to the stars!

Speaking to the stars, the planets, the cosmos:    ‘Aliens’ united!

Aquarius joins the dots between us and the cosmos, opening us to interplanetary energies in a whole new way.  Think science fiction and we’ve got a glimpse of the potential of our inner Aquarian energy.  Why else did we cry in ET?  We got the connection, the feeling that we’re aliens in an alien land. 

Being in the cosmic community:

We’re actually living as earthlings this lifetime.  But the call is to bring in those ‘alien’ connections from within our memory banks and allow ourselves to experience that knowledge from beyond earth’s domain and join the cosmic community!

Planting the seeds of change:  
A very new beginning at 0 degrees Aquarius!

The Sun and Moon aligned at the very beginning of Aquarius signify a very fresh start, just as we’ve been experiencing for the last few new moons at 0 degrees.  Connect to and call in your hopes and dreams at this new moon!  Reach for your own personal,  unique star!

The focus for our new seeds will fall within the Aquarian governance of the unification of humanity and community, with aligning with the ideals of freedom, radical revolution, connecting with hopes and dreams. Idealistic motives and altruistic actions will take root.  If it’s good for me as the highest expression of myself, it will be in the interests of humanity.

Blooming of our garden after 19th February:  
Following New Moon in Aquarius on 19th and Venus and Mars moving into Aries on 20th February!

With Mercury about to turn retrograde in Aquarius on 22nd, chances are we won’t be seeing the full growth of our new seeds of possibility until after the next New Moon on 20th February when Mercury will be moving out of shadow retrograde. With Venus and Mars both moving into Aries on 20th February, we’re getting a strong message that we’ll be ready to get moving on those seeds planted at this New Moon this week.  Take time to tune in and rework what needs reworking, retuning and refining. 

Powerful forces for upliftment and change: 
Two New Moons in Aquarius, January and February

That next New Moon falls in Aquarius too at 30 degrees, the very end of Aquarius. Two new moons in Aquarius, a month apart is a telling story adding extra weight to the Aquarian energy at this time.  The New Moon in February marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year of the sheep/goat. 

Keep the focus on your star and keep shining it up!  
Get ready for the leap of faith!

If you’re not sure of your hopes and dreams for your fulfilment, there’ll be plenty of time to mull over, work through and discover the best pathway forward.  We cannot fail with these energies.  The universe is lifting us up out of the soil of our past history into a new picture of life on earth.  Sure, there will continue to be trouble and turmoil on the earth.  The question must be how well we can hold and maintain the energies of the light and the higher ideals, the bigger potential for ourselves, for us all.

  

22 January:    
Mercury stations retrograde 
at 17 degrees 05 Aquarius at 2.54 am AEDT

until 11th February

Our outer world of physical existence has time out:  
Rebooting and renewing goals and aspirations!

A period of review and renewal as the outer world of our physical existence slows and reboots. This is not the best time to initiate new projects and directions.  Rather a time of working with existing, ongoing energy whether it be in a commercial endeavour or in personal plans. 

Our inner world of understanding has a growth spurt:  
New insights, clarity and development spiritually!

Retrograde periods give us a time when there is the opportunity of immense inner growth.  We can’t see this happening because it’s all happening deep within our psyche as our spirit realigns with our soul’s purpose. 

Mental housecleaning:  
Be still, time out and tune in!

With Mercury retrograde in Aquarius there is a deep call to listen to the messages which will uplift our thinking, which will bring amazing new ideas.  All we have to do is listen. 

Mercury in Aquarius:    Elevating our thinking, our mind, our beliefs!

Mercury in Aquarius offers enhancement and upliftment of our mental capacities and our mind’s approach to our lives and the world.  Aquarius is an idealistic energy ruling hopes and dreams, the most evolved wish for ourselves and our lives.

Aquarius offers a detached perspective:    Getting our ducks in a row

This retrograde period offers us a new perspective without clouding by the emotions at the expense of the mind power. Ingrained belief systems come forward for examination and necessary releases where required.
  

We’re getting our mind out of jail!  Get ready for the leap of faith!  It’s coming!

Sabian Symbols for the New Moon From Lynda Hill: 

The full planetary report for the Sabian Symbols at:    http://sabiansymbols.typepad.com/

The Sabian Symbol for the new Moon is Aquarius 1: An Old Adobe Mission In California. 

Keywords: Spiritual retreats in natural surroundings. Finding new areas to work with spirit. Creating civilization out of natural elements. Hard work to create places of sanctuary and learning. Places once revered now tourist attractions. Forging links to new worlds. Missions and missionaries. Bringing faith to the “new world”. Brotherhoods. Places that house and protect.

The Caution: Dogmatism. Pushing beliefs and ideas onto others. Believing one’s spiritual and religious beliefs contain all the answers. Taking over others' lives. Moving in and taking control. Monuments to the past sagging and fading. People moving in on others. Cults. Indoctrination.
