Welcome to Aquarius season! This weekend, the sun and moon will meet up at 1 degree Aquarius, where they’re in close range of Pluto (in late Capricorn).
Venus and Saturn are huddled together over in late Aquarius, well over the 10 degrees’ distance that we’d normally consider a conjunction, but still qualifies as a “sign-based conjunction,” being in the same astrological sign. Swimming in the same water, but not playing the same game, so to speak.
There’s a lot of Aquarian energy in this chart. 2023 is the year where Pluto will dip its toe into Aquarius, then return to Capricorn, before beginning its 20-year transit through Aquarius in 2024. The sign of the genius and rebel is the new land on our collective horizon.
A new moon is always about planting a seed for something new. Aquarius brings out themes around self-expression, thinking differently, ingenuity, freedom, emancipation, fairness, and equality. Pluto adds to the equation empowerment, authority, regeneration, and depth. This is a moment for setting an intention for powerful ideas—toward the greater good. A rising tide lifts all boats.
One of my favorite psychology books, the conflict resolution classic Nonviolent Communication, explains that once you get down to the underlying motivation behind the “demand” each side is making, the solution is often surprisingly graceful. We have to be willing to ask questions instead of defending our turf at all costs. When we see things differently, it’s like flipping the light switch on. Suddenly, the way forward is illuminated.
Because of Venus and Saturn crossing paths this weekend, there is also a restriction, clarifying, and solidifying around relationships. Saturn tests, to preserve what’s meant to last.
I’ll be meeting potential pet-sitters this weekend for my little angel Bambi (chihuahua) for a meditation retreat I’m going on in March. It’s taken some inner work to get to this point, in accepting that my family isn’t equipped to support me in this particular way, but I can invest in a professional, because of the high value of the meditation retreat, and high value of peace of mind that my dog will be comfortable (this new moon will be in my 2nd house of money/values).
