Aquarius New Moon 1/23/12 - Inner Calling

2012-01-18T13:43:00.000-07:00

Following your inner calling, for your-Self, your business, or within a country can be like a renunciation as though a deserter in the Navy just put down the gun and said, "Enough!" You are liberated to create a new paradigm for your Self without the instruction manuals.

This New Moon in Aquarius provides a similar energy for you to follow the calling of your own heart. Check in and see how true to your-Self, innovative, independent, psychologically courageous, or progressive you really are. See where you might need to detach yourself from irrelevant circumstances, add new sparks of thought, or connect with like-minded individuals. Other energies are at play in this eye opening New Moon so read further...

Active Aquarius New Moon friends and asociates includes Mars in Virgo, planetary ruler of the third chakra directing your Will inward for re-orientation in how you seize your day. The fiery planet cools with a station retrograde on 1/23/12. Consider it a time for digesting, processing, and distributing the nutrients of your life choices until Mars stations direct on April 13, 2012. During this time, you might also revamp the way you serve or find more efficient and healthier ways to martial your Will.

Saturn in Libra, stations retrograde at the Full Moon, 2/7/12 until 6/25/12. Saturn is trine Neptune in Pisces at this station retrograde. This takes you by your Root chakra, directing you inward for re-testing and re-aligning in how you support yourself, how grounded you are in reality, and how you manifest your interpersonal relationships. Neptune being involved can make things divine or blurry.

Feel your way through this period while the weaker elements fall away within relationships, laws, consulting practices, or limbs within artistic endeavors or beauty pursuits. Evidence of flourishing after the pruning will be seen externally after Saturn stations direct.

Neptune enters the ocean of Pisces on 2/3/12/and will remain there until March of 2025. Neptune's chakra assignment points to the crown chakra, your connection to universal awareness and visionary capability. Neptune represents the masses. Logic is not the main feature here for good or bad. More will be written on Neptune and the sign of Pisces next month.

In a Nut Shell…

Your actions brand you. Unify your Self during the Mars and Saturn retrograde periods and take advantage of working alone behind the scenes when the time is available to do so. Follow your inner heart calling while claiming greater self-worth and others so you have team support. Gather in Aquarius energy with like-minded colleagues to manifest this New World. Travel Light and be gentle with yourself during your journey.

Capricorn New Moon and Eager Manifestations

12/24/11

Humanity is days away from launching into the ominous New Year of 2012. It carries the beginning of a new 26,000 year cycle for our solar system. For now, the New Year of 2012 carries the promise of continued rapid changes in governmental systems, parental or marital commitments, corporate changes, earth changes, changes in personal responsibilities, commitments, reputations, breakdowns and powerful breakthroughs. Hard work is being done to create a new paradigm.

During the first quarter of the New Year, there is a powerful eagerness to manifest greater sustainability on many levels including in body, mind and spirit, while at the same time needing to respond responsibly to unexpected circumstances. Crisis will fuel action, decisiveness and determination in this upcoming year as well as drop many people into their heart center. This New Moon sets the stage for the first quarter so read further...

Capricorn New Moon Administrators of the First Quarter in 2012

Pluto in Capricorn merges with the New Moon in a conjunction. It will bring the gift of mutation and transformation, though at times uncomfortable because of the psychological undertones. Pluto corresponds to power in whatever form that is for you. It is the fertilizer that supports rebirth and regeneration for the New Era you will participate in creating.

Uranus in Aries is the reformer, inventor and pioneer. This energy may show up as a friend, a teen, or an unexpected circumstance that challenges you to come up with or incorporate the radical. Never say never with Uranus. It is square the New Moon.

Jupiter stations direct in the sign of Taurus on December 25, 2011. Your definition of 'abundance' and 'faith' has been revised. Jupiter is trine the New Moon. This station direct, is a powerful window of opportunity to initiate something new concerning money, your values, and self worth.

Chiron in Pisces brings the opportunity to support developments with holistic approaches, and a dose of vision and compassion. Otherwise the energy becomes wounding. It is sextile the New Moon, meaning it takes effort on your part to go cash in the Chiron gift certificate.

Saturn in the partnership and relationship sign of Libra, contributes to your new year by suggesting you work together with others to create new frameworks in whatever house Saturn travels through. Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn and in flow with Chiron by trine. That means it would be easy to ignore working things out in a holistic way OR it will be just as easy to work together to do so. Either way, Saturn continues to require effort to negotiate and compromise in relationships at this time before reaping the rewards.

Mars is currently traveling through the sign of Virgo until July 2012. The reason it will be in this sign so long is this planet stations retrograde at the end of January, during the first quarter of the New Year.

Warrior Mars in Virgo is square the nodal axis in Sagittarius and Gemini at this New Moon and becomes the key to synthesis for the first quarter. Learn to pick your battles. Notice the forest and not just the trees. Take gathered information and put it into a larger context. Take it one day at a time.

At best this energy is good to focus on organizing, creating greater efficiency at work or home in grounded practical useful ways. Self-help, exercise, a skill or project that you can do on your own, or health are all good uses of this energy. Mars rules the 3rd chakra, your 'Will' energy center that propels you to seize the day and governs your intestines. Mars in Virgo will make you busy trying to get the job done and needing to be more selective with your physical output.

At worst, the Virgo energy is externalized as lack of action due to self-doubt, or underestimating your ability, making assessments of the imperfections of others and endless finger pointing.

At worst, the Virgo energy is externalized as lack of action due to self-doubt, or underestimating your ability, making assessments of the imperfections of others and endless finger pointing.

Mars retrograde will create a crack in your personal cosmos to consider new and better uses of your 'Will' and you will have the entire first quarter of 2012 to do it. Mars stations retrograde at the Aquarius New Moon on January 23, 2012 until April 13, 2012. More details at that time so until then, be gentle with yourself and others during your journey.

A Meditation Journey to Saturn

2009-12-16T10:16:00.005-07:00

I followed a path along a cascade of natural springs gurgling from two miles deep within the belly of Gaia, Mother Earth. I pondered about the newly discovered larger ring around the planet Saturn. Smelling the fresh crisp earthy clean mountainous air I thought how interesting a new discovery concerning Saturn comes at a time when Gaia...

I thought I was going to publish this in my new blog and found out the same day it was destined to be seen elsewhere. For the rest of the story please see the Meditation Journey to Saturn in the magazine The Mountain Astrologer, Oct/Nov 2010 issue.
