New Moon in Aquarius 2022: Building a Solid Foundation

As February unfolds, on the first day, we have a New Moon at 12.45 a.m. EST.

The Sun and the Moon are coupled up at 12 degrees of the fixed air sign of Aquarius.

It’s also the Chinese Lunar New Year! It’s the year of the Water Tiger.

In China the Tiger is the king of all beasts as it symbolises immense power and courage. This year is promising to be the year of risk taking and bold moves that are destined to pay off in a big way.

Back to our New Moon… It’s a very serious New Moon – it’s happening in close proximity to the planet of hard work, restrictions, and dedication Saturn.

We are building a solid foundation and making plans on how to achieve our long-term goals in the New Year and beyond.

Aquarius is co-ruled by Saturn.

Saturn is the planet of boundaries and practical application. We are going to feel inspired to find the most practical, down-to-earth solutions to our problems at the time of this New Moon.

We are setting personal boundaries through a new beginning that involves building up for the future.

The Cosmic Weather Report

This New Moon is happening next to its co-ruler Saturn, which makes this energy familiar.

However, the Moon itself doesn’t feel happy when it’s coupled up with the lord of obstacles and delays. Its vibes are just too harsh and restrictive for the sensitive, nurturing Moon.

This uneasy energy is intensified by a pretty exact square to Uranus, the planet of awakening, sudden changes, breakdowns and breakthroughs. Aquarius is ruled by both Saturn and Uranus.

Saturn is the past and Uranus is the future. These two major players have been in a challenging aspect with each other most of 2021.

This notorious Saturn – Uranus square has some pretty major influence on the cosmic weather in 2022, even though there is a wide orb of separation now.

It looks like we are asked to build a new structure that may be shocking to others.

However, it’s not being done out of sheer rebellion.

There is a logic behind it. It’s just too innovative to be accepted by the masses. 

Don’t be afraid of any breakthrough ideas you might be channelling around the time of this New Moon or any negative feedback you may be getting from others.

It may be an unlikely solution to a problem. But if you approach it in a practical, down-to-earth manner, it can most definitely be a total winner.

Pluto – Mercury conjunction in Capricorn

Mercury is still in retrograde, about to station direct just after the New Moon on February 3.

It is also approaching exact conjunction with mighty Pluto in Capricorn.

Pluto rules over what is buried and hidden, power struggles, our deepest, darkest secrets.

Mercury is how we communicate. Things can get really intense when it comes to communication of all kinds.

Some serious drama could play out here. 

Don’t forget Mercury is still in retrograde. It means we don’t have all information.

Step back, go within, and re-evaluate the situation through the sober lens of Saturn before you make a big decision.

This aspect can also indicate the rise of investigative journalism.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the global wealthy and elite may be exposed in the press for the hidden and even unethical and corrupt dealings around the time of this New Moon.

Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (or Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope. 

The Moon sign represents your emotional and psychological imprint and is worth checking out as well, especially if your primary focus at present is on matters of the heart. (Related article: Big 3 in Your Birth Chart: Why It Is Crucial for Unlocking Your Destiny )
