How is your New Moon treating you?

[omega minimo]

Last moonth we were between eclipses, the New and Full kicked my a** how about you and this one looks to be as moving.

The recent movements -- in all sorts of ways -- on this board, the challenges and reprioritizing seem to be a common theme, among us and among the starwatchers.

From Maya Del Mar's Daykeeper Journal:

We are still focused on healing ourselves, but often without knowing how this will happen or what to do about it. This is the time for informed faith in our own ability to find a way through, and surrender to the mystery of life. We live in an abundant universe, and we need but open our hearts to it in order to unblock the flow. We are headed into the Great Unknown, where miracles and accidents can happen, the excitement of Uranus enticing us forward.

3. The Full Moon on March 10 aligns with the ongoing Saturn-Uranus opposition. Any underlying conflict between new programs and more conservative plans reaches a peak. Those with natal planets in this degree area (17º-23º of the mutable signs) are under the most pressure to make radical changes in their lives and to find the balance between consolidation and innovation.

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 24
The Moon enters Pisces at 5:00 am, giving us a dreamy lift as we rise. We'll be able to ground better as she approaches her sextile to Pluto, its placement in Capricorn lending structure and pragmatism to our glowing idealism.

At 5:35 pm, we hit the "refresh" button as the New Moon occurs at 6°35' Pisces. The planets continue to be bunched together, adding a growing Pisces tone to the Aquarian emphasis. We are still focused on healing ourselves, but often without knowing how this will happen or what to do about it. This is the time for informed faith in our own ability to find a way through, and surrender to the mystery of life. We live in an abundant universe, and we need but open our hearts to it in order to unblock the flow. We are headed into the Great Unknown, where miracles and accidents can happen, the excitement of Uranus enticing us forward.

In Washington DC, the New Moon comes at 8:35 pm, placing 9?30' Libra on the eastern horizon. The Aquarius-Pisces cluster falls in the 5th – 6th houses, drawing national attention to sports, children, leisure pastimes, and entertainment, with continued focus on the nation's work force and adding health care to the mix. The Senate will finally have its full coterie of members, with Al Franken, the Democrat from Minnesota, finally in their midst. The Saturn-Uranus opposition falls in houses 12 and 6, suggesting a stuttering start to the projects that are supposed to be the new engine of the economy. There could be a cold or flu bug that disrupts productivity and reignites concerns about public health policy.

The Sabian Symbol for 7 Pisces gives us an image of upliftment: "Illumined by a shaft of light, a large cross lies on rocks surrounded by sea mist." Amidst the fog of the unknown future that we face, a ray of wisdom leads us forward. This could come in the form of a miraculous event or a transcendent speech that lifts hearts around the world. The only way we know that this is true, real, and worthy of our faith is by whether it resounds with echoes of truth in ourselves. We might expect at this time that our leader(s) will have to buck the trend of public opinion and take unpopular actions that in the end will prove to be correct. Rudhyar calls this a "spiritual blessing."

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 25
The Moon continues in Pisces, finally reaching the current bane of our existence, the Saturn-Uranus opposition. The Moon reaches Saturn first, then Uranus—both late in the day. We will wax eloquent in spite of the challenges, because Mercury is making a sextile to Venus. Communications will go well if we are not too wrapped up in our own little pity party. Although the Moon enters its void of course period after 10:09 pm, in Jupiter-ruled Pisces, she still performs, so get your game on!

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26
Although the Moon is technically void of course until 1:24 pm, we can still take effective action while she is in Pisces. She enters Aries at that time, and the tension increases immediately as the Moon applies to a square to Pluto in the early evening. It may not be necessary to act as quickly as you think.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 27
A day of harmonies awaits us as we wake to this Venus-ruled day. The Moon in Aries is putting on a show, sextiling Jupiter, conjoining Venus, then sextiling Mercury and Mars. These contacts start at noon and finish near bedtime, so their influence will be felt all day. Enjoy!

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28
The Moon goes void of course at 9:52 am, ending its activity in Aries on a note of possibility, as it sextiles Chiron and Neptune. This is the only planetary event of the day, although the Moon's entry into Taurus at 7:33 pm promises a feeling of contentment to finish things off. Use the day to play and relax—that's part of what makes life worthwhile!

1. Thanks for this information

"It may not be necessary to act as quickly as you think"---wise words I needed to hear today.

2. well the bad news is

I just realized I have less cash than I thought, so that lit a fear fire under my butt.

The slightly better news is I have an idea for some small e-books and have started writing.

4. must have been a strong void moon!

I talked to my daughter in Tokyo. There was huge news about some river in Japan actually running backwards because of the tidal force of the new moon. Nobody had predicted that, it seems. I asked for an English link, but, alas, I don't think any English language sources reported it.

Anyway, since they made such a big deal about it in Japan, my daughter assumes that is the first time it had happened.
