NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS “It was my letting go that gave me a better hold.” Chris Matakas There will be a New Moon at 09°51’ of Aquarius (antiscion 20°09’ Scorpio), a fixed, Air sign on the 29th January, this is the third in a series of five New Moons in a row at 09° of the relative monthly sign. The lunation has Moon peregrine in Aquarius and Sun in detriment in the sign, looks like neither head nor heart know exactly what to do (leaders and people). The two lights are separating from a conjunction to Mercury (also peregrine) perhaps there might have been some arrogant [...]
MERCURY ENTERS AQUARIUS Abstract ideas or unconventional truths? In Aquarius, a sign co-ruled by Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (modern), Mercury is even more thirsty for knowledge, always in search of new ideas and technologies but ready to reject or even abandon them as soon as new (Uranus) becomes normal (Saturn). Mercury in Aquarius will give us new visions, make us aware of new possibilities, allow us to envision an ideal world or society, which might be great as a theory, but much less so as a practicality. Aquarius is a fixed Air sign so here Mercury is at home in the [...]
OOB FULL MOON IN CANCER ON 13-14 JANUARY 2025 the mooniest Moon…. On 13-14 January there will be an OOB Full Moon at 23°59’ Cancer (antiscion 6°01’ Gemini), nurturing qualities could be at their best or, on the contrary, at their worst. Full Moons are when matters climax, they are “now or never” moments regarding any projects we have initiated or intentions we have set at the preceding New Moon fourteen days ago. The OOB Moon is applying a conjunction to a retrograde OOB Mars which is also running to meet the Moon. Moon is in dignity in its own sign, Mars is in [...]
LUNAR NODES ENTER PISCES-VIRGO AXIS ON 11-12 JANUARY 2025 The transiting nodes are reality checks on our soul path… On January 11-12th, the Lunar Nodes will enter the Pisces/Virgo axis after having been in the Aries/Libra polarity since July 2023. So, the modality will change from Cardinal (Fire-Air) to Mutable (Water-Earth). With the North Node transiting the sign of Pisces this could be a good moment to relax and just go with the flow (in the area of your chart affected by the transit). In short: remember that it may be difficult to let go (South Node in Virgo) but you need to dive [...]
MERCURY MOVES INTO CAPRICORN 08 JANUARY 2025 AND THEN GOES OOB Seriously? Mercury barges out of Sagittarius with the usual bluntness and awkwardness that often characterises his sojourn there and bounces into Capricorn. It’s OOB status will started only a few hours later on January 09 and end on January 20. After fun-loving Sagittarius this will certainly hit him with force, dampening his mood and deepening his thoughts and encouraging all of us to think, plan and talk in a much more serious fashion more so during the OOB phase which lasts for the major part of Mercury’s stay in [...]
