As we admire the lush images of the Leo Eclipse Moon, we enter the time between the Full Moon and the New Moon to come, a New Moon that arrives with Imbolc.
Throughout these two weeks, Uranus in late Aries continues to square the Nodes of the Moon, and Saturn and Neptune sextile each other from mid Capricorn and Pisces. Keep your eye on the middle degrees of the signs. Lots going on there.
The Disseminating Moon on Jan 24 is about sharing what we learned. This Moon brings forward many voices. Which do we accept? Which reject? Listen to inner as well as outer voices.
The Last Quarter Moon on Jan 27 brings deep understanding. The Sun & Mercury have lots of bright ideas. The Moon says, let’s not miss the depths or ignore the shadow. What is hidden?
The Balsamic Moon on Jan 31 is a time to release the old, preparing for the new. Often a quiet time, this Moon, this year, is full of Fire: conj Venus, trine Uranus, Eris, & Mars. Deep, dramatic release can happen if we don’t run away from something we need to face.
Imbolc, ancient Celtic festival of Bride, arrives on Feb 3 just before the New Moon. We begin to feel the stirrings of shift into a new season.
The New Moon in Aquarius on Feb 4 asks what our vision is for the world ahead. Conjunct Mercury, this Moon is filled with ideas. Can we balance our dreams with reality? Are we prepared to work hard to create a better world?
