New Moon in Aquarius: Social Ease, Social Pressures. The February New Moon in Aquarius occurs at 20º Aquarius on February 9, 2:59 PM Pacific time. This New Moon features a Grand Air Trine as well as a square. This Aquarius Moon may require us to consider the need for sensitive, gradual approaches to structural change.
New Moon in Aquarius: Rising Above the Emotional
The Moon in Aquarius is in an interesting position. The Water Bearer gracefully pours water from her vessel into the collective stream. Because the Moon is in this cerebral Air sign, she does not want to get her hands wet. As such, the Moon in Aquarius remains aloof from emotions, preferring to direct them into dry, intellectual ideals that benefit the collective.
In this Fixed Air sign, the Moon yearns for freedom, humane conditions for all, and an almost post-human expectation of emotional control. For example, she’d rather float above or ignore the more primal hues of the emotional spectrum: jealousy, hate, greed, competition, insecurity, or even sadness and anger.
The Moon in Aquarius has a profound need for friendship and belonging in a group or a community. Therefore, you may find yourself going out more and mingling with the groups you feel most aligned with during the February New Moon. Furthermore, you find it easy and delightful to align with the group’s shared ideals. Additionally, you may find it easy and appealing to fall into a group momentum, or to agree with the group. Schooling with your tribe of fish can feel good during Moon in Aquarius.
Additionally, the Moon forms a trine to Vesta in Gemini. Therefore your ability to stay open, detached, and curious in dialogue with others will help the flow of social ease.
New Moon in Aquarius: A Tendency Toward Consensus
The New Moon in Aquarius also aspects the South Node in Libra, completing a Grand Air Trine. The South Node in Libra tugs at our collective tendency toward codependency. Thus, you may find it easier to agree with the opinions of the group, without fully acknowledging or exploring your own beliefs as an individual. Of course, the shadow of the South Node in Libra is people-pleasing, and hiding who we really are for the sake of peace.
The North Node in Aries shows that collective growth is rooted in your ability to be independent and in touch with ourselves and our own perspectives. Moreover, the New Moon in Aquarius is sextile to the North Node in Aries. Although it may not come to you as innately as diplomacy and agreement, staying grounded in your own intellectual viewpoints and ideals will ultimately strengthen the power and potential of the group you are a part of.
Chiron’s presence near the North Node suggests that there is a collective wound in the area of selfhood. You need to stay in tune with your own beliefs and individual needs. However, this lunation gives you an opportunity to heal this wound, and find your individual voice, allowing it to resonate in harmony with the group.
