“New Moon at 26 Degrees Aquarius on Feb 13th – 14th – By My Valentine”

Every New Moon is in a different sign, and its; energy and message is always different, but it is always the right time to rethink what we have been doing.  Do we need to rethink our direction for the coming month, or reaffirm our direction?  This is the time to throw out those things that are no longer vital and to redirect our thinking to those that will benefit us.  This New Moon at the end of Aquarius and conjunct to both Chiron and Neptune is indicating our healing will come through our ability to have the vision that by uniting and working together as one, will we survive.  We can no longer see you and me as separate, but us as a unit in working towards a better future.  The New Moon, Chiron, and Neptune are entering into Pisces where Venus is conjunct Jupiter inspiring faith, trust, consideration and compassion with humanitarian efforts for the world.

“The Sabian symbol for the 26th degree of Aquarius is taken from “The Sabian Symbols in Astrology by Marc Edmund Jones”, and what follows are my comments.

Aquarius 26  A hydrometer  This is a symbol of the powers of immediate analysis which enable man to achieve his commonplace or practical goals.  Here he has full assurance of an intelligence and order to be found throughout the world of everyday realities, and he comes to see that a very real cooperation of natural conditions and forces may be enlisted for any project of special concern.  The individual learns that when he will take responsibility for events he may shape them to his own convenience, and thus find ways to capitalize on any difficulties that arise.  The keyword is efficiency.  When positive, the degree is exceptional ability in manipulating the fundamental complexities of living, and when negative, self-defeating worry over trifles.

What I find very interesting with this New Moon is that it begins right before Valentine’s Day and the start of the Year of the Tiger.  As a child in grade school, Valentine’s Day was where you told the whole school who were your best friends and those you wish to socialize with.  It was what you might now call the social networking of our time.  As we got older we realized this day was for your sweet heart or sweet hearts.  With this Aquarius New Moon it is telling us we need to social network and work for the good of the whole.  The Sabian symbol is telling us to use all the modern conveniences like the blogs, Twitter and Face book to mobilize for the good of the whole.  At the same time we need to take responsibility for our decisions, actions and how it affects us individually and as a global society.  The message of this New Moon is that we can no longer think of me, but as we, and we need to welcome Aquarius with open arms as the sign which brings innovation and friendship into our lives.
