Today's Aquarian New Moon happened as the Sun and Moon met at 20 degrees of Aquarius. Mercury (communication/information processing/logic) and Pluto(transformation/power) are also in Aquarius and Mars(yang energy/personal drive) and Venus (how we relate to important others/values) will be joining them next week, so Aquarius energy is amplified.

There has been a lot going on in the sky these past few weeks. This past Saturday, 1.20, the Sun made its annual conjunction with Pluto. That's nothing unusual. The Sun meets up with each planet throughout the year. What makes this conjunction unique is they met up at 0 degrees of Aquarius.

The first New Moon of the year is tomorrow morning at 6:58 (EST). The Sun and Moon meet at 21 degrees of Capricorn. Capricorn is the cardinal earth sign. It is practical and industrious, ambitious and serious. In the natural chart, Capricorn is located at the top. It corresponds to noon, when the daylight is at its peak. Capricorn energy is meant to be seen by the public.

It's a little hard to believe we are at the final lunation for 2023. On Tuesday evening we will have a Full Moon in Cancer. The Moon at nearly 5 degrees (4 degrees 58 seconds of arc) of Cancer will be bathed in the light of the Sun at nearly 5 degrees of Capricorn. The timing, of course, is perfect; it offers a moment in the middle of the festivities to pause and recenter yourself on what matters to you.
