New Moon in Aquarius

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.

New Moon In Pisces Solar Eclipse

March 8th New Moon in Pisces / Solar Eclipse

From Molly's Astrology.com

The New Moon is the beginning of the waxing phase of the Lunar cycle, or the two weeks when the Moon increases in light. We can use the energy of the increasing light of the Moon to plant seeds, both literally and figuratively. We start new projects, buy new things, make new contacts. Things we start in the world outside during this time tend to grow. Farmers use this time to plant above-ground crops.

A Solar eclipse is a very special New Moon. Things that are begun between the eclipse and the next Full Moon (about 2 weeks), seeds we plant, projects we undertake, contacts we make, and intentions we set, take on added significance 6 months down the road.

With the New Moon being in Pisces, this may also represent a sensitive period to the spiritual world. According to Stars Like You:

When the Moon is found in Pisces, your emotions are likely to be pronounced. Pisces is the final sign of The Zodiac, and has much to do with sensitivity – to oneself, to other people, and to the mysterious, unseen forces that shape our world. With the Moon in Pisces, you are likely to be strongly influenced by the compassionate, creative, imaginative, romantic and idealistic aspects of life.

On an instinctive level, you may have a natural affinity with the abstract or intuitive. This affinity can be a blessing, or a curse. The quality of your journey will have much to do with how prepared you are to recognize these sensitivities, and give them the respect that they deserve. You are likely to be able to sense the hidden or energetic levels of life, soaking up atmospheres as if you were a sponge. Your feelings about people and situations are likely to be immediate, accurate and intense. Understanding that your feelings provide valuable information, but can lead you astray sometimes, means that you will need to learn to recognize the difference between an intuitive response to something, and an emotional reaction that is based on your opinion of whatever is going on.

There is also good news, however, according to Crystal B. Astrology, this is a SUPER-super charged New Moon - so follow the emotions as the blessing, not the curse. Focus on what you want...if you ask, you shall receive. However, if you simply just wait/wonder/lament about the things you don't have, the cycle will continue, and more of what you don't want will come to fruition.
