With whooping 6 planets in Aquarius, we can anticipate a very unconventional St Valentine’s day. The timing of this New Moon, new beginnings, just a couple of days before the celebrations of love undoubtedly draws our attentions to close relationships. This does not only favour the newly fallen in love but existing old relationships can get a renewed energy on their tired, stale vitality. Let us look into it in detail to find out what is to come in the long-honoured months of romance. If you have personal planet(s) in fixed signs such as Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius you will be feeling this energy strongly.
As all New moons, this one as well carries the energies of new beginnings, plans, ideas in the sign of Aquarius the friendliest and most unconventional signs of all. This talks about innovations in terms of friendships, social circles, networks, communities. How will love come into the picture? Aquarius is not at all romantic. Well, we have Venus as a part of stellium of 6 planets in this sign, the planet of love and relationships. Not only she is here but aligns with jovial Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance. Does this mean that we will have a month of bathing in sweet love? Maybe not quiet exactly how we are accustomed to it but there is certainly lots of emphasis on relationships. Here Aphrodite (Venus) loves unconventionality and Jupiter is only going to enlarge that need.
The rebelliousness and uniqueness of Venus is lavishly amplified.
We don’t want to follow the rules and very much want to break off from traditions. Mercury is approaching this union by backtracking towards Jupiter. Mercury with Venus wants to say sweet words, but will you be able to talk about your emotions? You might do but could be misunderstood, as the planet of communications not quite at the right direction. And Saturn, good old Saturn in the early degrees of Aqua does not make things easy, as he never does, so anything new here whether is a friendship or loveship has to go through the test of time and hard work. His square to Uranus throughout the year highlights the wanting to detach from the old, innovate the ways of existence. Feisty Mars in Taurus moving slowly, challenging the New moon, suggesting there will be some emotional turbulence in our close relationships.
It seems good, friend, but it will not be easy. There are going to be issues to work hard on, and it might take some time in fixed signs. Usually, the new moon’s energy gives us 18 months till it reaches the culminations in the same sign (full moon in Aquarius). For a more personalised interpretation look at the house position of Aquarius in your chart, and you might have an idea where things have a good initial, innovative spark. By the time Mercury will reach the New Moon’s degree, 23rd of Aquarius on the 10th of March we will have revisited and made our amends that were necessary.
