The Lunar Pulse:
Aquarius New Moon - January 23, 2012
In general, the annual Aquarius New Moon is the time of year best suited for putting the focus on networking, friendship and new technological initiatives. This year those activities are supported by great originality and bold ideas, yet growth is constrained by resources and by stubbornness in negotiations. As the month goes on, it may become harder to move forward since mechanical breakdowns or renovations and a need for tedious tending to details are indicated. A good approach would be to keep the group well-being foremost in mind and to capture those amazing inspirations for discussion and later use, but in action, don't stray far from practicalities. The more realistic and practical you can be during the next few seemingly stalled months, the better shape you will be in later in the year when action takes on a dizzying intensity.

New Moon, 2 Pisces |
New Moon: The Pisces New Moon is accentuated by its conjunction with Neptune, the ruling planet of Pisces. A dreaminess descends. The mystical beckons. The imagination takes flight. Open yourself to the spiritual side of life but last month's need for focus on the practical and detailed functioning of things is still strong and highly supported. Inner peace is practical and listening to your inner guides on matters of self and lifestyle improvement is too. Enjoy the transcendent but keep yourself grounded on planet Earth. |
