New Moon in Aquarius: Emerging from the Depths
Tuesday, Feb 1st, 2022  [at 12.46 am est - 12 deg 20’]

20% on consultations through Valentine’s Day!

This New Moon in Aquarius can have us feeling like we’re slowly crawling out of a cave of self-reflection.  

While Venus was retrograde in Capricorn [from December 19th through January 29th] we had the chance to dive deep into our desires, as she merged with Pluto, the god of the Underworld.  

What shadows did we uncover?  What parts of us are ready to be restored in the process?  

This healing journey is akin to soul retrieval, a shamanic practice, a process of reclaiming parts of ourselves we may have given away.

Mercury is still retrograde for a short while, also in Capricorn, and will turn station direct on February 3rd [at 11.13 pm est at 24 deg 23’ Capricorn.] 

The Capricorn sector of our charts is being excavated, as we sift through the treasures, saving only the pieces that hold our hearts.  

That same area of your chart is ripe for moving forward constructively, after all the inner work over the last few weeks.  Mars is now exalted in Capricorn, meaning that the energies of the warrior planet are buoyed and heightened when Mars is in this sign.  What are you ready to handle now, in a measured and energized way?

This New Moon gives us the new start we’ve been waiting for.
The Sun/Moon conjunction is closely aligned with Saturn in Aquarius [at 15 deg 31’] and squaring Uranus [10 deg 54’ Taurus], where we can now have new insights on ways to be innovative regarding reform, restructuring, or facing barriers and limitations. 

With Mars so active this month, we can be confident in taking the practical steps needed to manifest the insights the Venus retrograde brought us.
