Aquarius New Moon February 1st: Prepare for Take Off!
February starts with a rocket-fuelling New Moon in Aquarius at 05:46 on the 1st conjunct Saturn and square Uranus. This strikes a chord with the Saturn-Uranus square and the ongoing debate around restriction versus freedom that’s rocked the world. Decide where you stand.
With Mercury still retrograde, , we’re still in a process of deep review as February enters, re-examining matters practically and rationally, both from political and scientific perspectives, to make a decision.
Time to make a tentative fresh start - based on new, still incoming data - ready for take off. Get into position in the runway of 2022.
With Chiron also chiming in, this is a good time to revisit matters of health and healing, as well as any hurts that still plague your thoughts.
