New Moon in Aquarius: A Conference of Planets

Thursday, February 11th, 2021 (at 2.06 pm est - 23 deg 17’)

Greetings from Sarolta at The Lilith Zone!

How are you all faring? Hanging in there, in spite of it all?

If you’re a human on earth right now, you’re reeling from the many changes that are all around us, witnessed at every corner of the globe. We just don’t know what we’ll be waking up to every morning, which is both exhilarating … and exhausting.

We are living in historical times; astrologer Chris Brennan (@chrisbrennan7) recently tweeted on Twitter: “Make Astrology Less Literal Again.”

Yes, a more nuanced, “symbolic” astrology would be a welcome relief now!

Though 2020 was all about the breakdown of existing structures, the work in 2021 to rethink, reimagine, and rebuild will continue for our foreseeable future. Things will never go “back to normal.”

This New Moon brings us six planets in the sign of Aquarius: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn: six of the seven classical planets.

We haven’t seen a stellium in Aquarius such as this since 1962 when all seven of the classical planets were in the sign of The Water Bearer.

The historical “great conjunction” of Saturn and Jupiter on the Winter Solstice marked the end of a roughly 200-year cycle and the beginning of a new one. The house that in your natal chart that housed the conjunction is highlighted now; a door is ready to open. How do you want to welcome the possibilities?

Aquarian energy is about authenticity; futuristic, revolutionary, and reforming, Saturn and Jupiter in this sign represents rethinking current structures, making them more equitable, egalitarian, and humanitarian.

Now, we can take a deep breath and focus on embodying the changes we know we must make to live our authenticity. What rigid structures or beliefs are you ready to challenge?

This revolutionary energy is supported by a few other aspects:

Mars, the planet of war and severing, and Uranus, the planet of revolution and unexpected changes, are both in the sign of Taurus, and in a “square” aspect to all of the planets in Aquarius. The square aspect is a “call to action”, and with those two planets facing off with the Aquarian stellium, the time for change is imminent.

On the day of the new moon, however, you may feel more like retreating than jumping to action.

The moon is void of course immediately after the exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon at 2.06 pm est, when energies are nebulous, dreamy, and meditative.

Instead of jumping to it, take time to journal, meditate on the themes of this lunation, and dream about what the door that is about to open looks like for you. You have a few days to dream; there’s a ritual included in your forecast to help you manifest what you come up with.

Envision the change you want to be in the world, remake it in your own image, and embody the authenticity of your true self.

The forecasts for your sign will give a clue to where the energies will tend to manifest, and how you might best channel these energies to move with the changes that are coming into being.

See what resonates with you and expand on the themes by writing down your impressions at this time.

This may very well be one of the most significant New Moon periods of the year, especially for those with significant astrological placements in the sign of Aquarius.
