THE SECOND TIME AROUND
On Wednesday, February 18th we'll have another New Moon in Aquarius. The first one was at zero degrees of Aquarius (on January 20th), and this one is at the very end of the sign (29 degrees). It's like the cosmos is giving us a second chance to get it right. If you started something with the first one, but ran into obstacles along the way, then this time you'll be energized to get it done. We've had a retrograde Mercury along the way, but Mercury went direct on the 11th, so there's no excuse (smile). Usually New Moons are all about beginnings, but this one has a completion or endings energy.
AQUARIUS ROCKS!
I've always loved the sign Aquarius. It's the 11th Sign in the Zodiac, ruled by both Saturn and Uranus. It's also a fixed air sign, with the keywords "I Know". Many inventors were born under the sign of Aquarius, because of inner need to change things for the better. Aquarius people are basically intellectuals because they have a natural energy to explore and to gain information. Aquarius rules the 11th House of friends and large organizations in the astrology chart. They are known for their volunteerism and ability to organize diverse groups of people. That is because Aquarius usually knows people from all walks of life. They also love to travel and find it easy to mingle with people who might speak a different language. Many of my friends are Aquarians. I love them because there's no pressure in our relationships. We can be out of touch with one another (because we are always so busy) and when we reconnect it's like we never were apart. They are great conversationalists because their knowledge is so vast. What I love about them is the if they don't know a thing, they will do the research and educate themselves. Aquarians are humanitarians by nature and while some think of them as cold and aloof, I love the fact that they aren't the feely touchy folks who just need to have you around. I'm thinking the phrase "if you won't there's others who will" must have come from an Aquarian.
SO WHAT DOES THIS 2ND NEW MOON IN
AQUARIUS MEAN?
For one thing is means we need to move from our "me" "me"
consciousness and move it up to "we" "we". It's time for all of us to think in terms of how we can use our gifts and talents to benefit others. We all breathe the same air and drink the same water so it's time to consider what we're doing to free Earth Mother from pollution, not only for our own well being but for the generations to come. The other thing is we need to connect with others, form groups and focus on eradicating racism, poverty and violence. It's easier today to communicate with groups of people, through the internet, facebook, twitter, etc. etc. We wouldn't even know about Eric Garner if it wasn't for a man with a smartphone who knew how to upload a video on social media. The consciousness of the people is changing, hopefully for the better. We need to help one another and the Law of Karma says if you help someone else you'll really be helping yourself. We need to get back to caring and sharing and loving each other unconditionally. We could start in our own individual families and the move it out to the people in our neighborhoods. The circle of Light will expand exponentially, as we use it. On the individual level we need to clean up the pollution in our minds. We can do this by monitoring our thoughts and our words, eliminating hate speech, criticism and gossip about stuff that doesn't matter. I was blown away when a friend told me about the hate messages on twitter and facebook about the Bobbi Christina situation. People sending out hate who don't know her and who probably will never ever meet her. We need to check ourselves when we feel the need to comment negatively about someone who is in crisis. When we say negative things, our bodies are listening and we're damaging our cells. When we come from a space of love and joy we're healing our bodies. Regardless of what media is saying you don't have to sit there like a robot and take it all in.
Use the remote and remove yourself from the danger of ingesting negativity. The veils between the planes is getting thinner every day. Take advantage of this cosmic phenomenon and monitor your thoughts and words. As Rev. Charles Barker used to say "think what you want, but want what you think".
THE WEIRD THING ABOUT THIS
NEW MOON
This second New Moon in Aquarius happens on the 18th at 6:47 pm, at 29 degrees of Aquarius. Then at 6:48pm the moon moves into Pisces. The 18th is also Ash Wednesday, a Christian event signifying the 1st day of lent. Every year when I was a child we'd make our resolutions to stop a bad habit during lent. But just like our New Year's resolutions we'd soon lapse into that old bad habit in a few weeks. This year I'm promising myself that I'll not say another negative word about the weather, which has been brutal this year. I'm not going to complain about getting up early to clean off the ice and snow on my car. Instead I'm going to silently give thanks that I have a car, due to the generosity of the good people I know.
CHINESE NEW YEAR
OF THE GOAT
On the 19th, one day after the New Moon, we celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Goat. I think of the goat as the symbol that connects to Capricorn, the sign that is success oriented (climbs higher than any other). I'm not an expert on Chinese Astrology, but I'm thinking the energy is on being successful this year. The goat is a climber that loves to climb to the top of the mountain. Maybe the energy is to work on your specific gifts and talents to move it to a higher level? At any rate Gung Hoy Fat Choy (Happy New Year) I wish all of you much success in your life and more joy, love, happiness and prosperity. You deserve it. Peace & Love, Ayesha
