The NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE occurs on Thursday, February 15, 2018, at 4:06 PM EST. On Thursday afternoon, the New Moon occurs in the sign of Aquarius. As a Solar Eclipse, its effects can impact the coming six months. In the sign of Aquarius, friendship, fellowship, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group can be in sharp focus, prompting new beginnings with these matters.
A New Moon a moment to halt, spend time within and focus on our desire for the next Full Moon.
A new moon gets us to prepare for it by emptying out everything that precedes it.
This event, like all astrological occurrences, are cyclical ones. In preparing for the next go around we can lay down what we think we should do in order to make space so that we might be more attuned to what our lives are asking us to do. We lay down our small will in order to reconnect with the larger one that guides our life.
It’s good to put the ego on hold.
Actually it’s completely necessary. And what better sign to teach us this than Aquarius? The opposite sign and the antithesis of sometimes self-centered Leo, Aquarius comes to cool the fires of identity and moves the attention towards the collective. The water-bearers among us get extra opportunities to kick-start their vital signs and rededicate themselves to all they wish to bring forth this birthday year.
Aquarius is a sign that is after clarity of thought, innovative ideas and distinguishes itself by its ability to articulate the most difficult of concepts. Aquarius is brilliant, concerned with the collective and a little unwilling to do warm and fuzzy. Aquarius wants to know how the masses will get the collective machine moving but doesn’t necessarily need to stop and get emotionally enmeshed with the personal details of all involved. This is a big picture sign that wants to understand the intersecting realities of life and how to make manifest a fair and just world for all.
A new moon in this sign is the cracking open of our own personal innovation. This moon is asking some poignant questions about how we view our lives, how to review them and how to make the necessary changes without getting too emotionally messy.
Our meager minds tend to think that life should flow in a linear fashion, that things should work out in the ways we expect them to and set them up to do. But they don’t.

There is magic in the cycle.
