On January 24th, the New moon in Aquarius awakened our urge to lift up and out of stagnant situations. If you have not taken the nudge, you may just get a shove. With Uranus square this new moon we are all feeling the pressure to release and renew. Initiate to evolve. The time is now. Not when. Not then.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. It is a big thinking genius trailblazing energy. After the stodgy energy of serious Capricorn, Aquarius comes along and says. Let’s make it new and unique. We can tap into otherworldly ways. We can swim around in the cosmic soup of all this and create something wonderful. Something that benefits each individual as well as the whole.

This New Moon has a square to Uranus in stubborn Taurus. These two energies are not a match. There don’t get each other on fundamental levels. The Uranus Taurus energy is still trying to figure out how to bust up the status quo when staying the same is it’s specialty. The square energy can have us dealing with situations at cross purposes. It can create sudden unexpected events designed to shake it up.

It’s best to find a way to express the repressed within you. You need to let it out as carefully as possible but it must come out. If not, Uranus has a way of forcing us through situations we did not see coming until it’s too late,accidents and unexpected outbursts that change the terrain for good. It’s better to choose to make your moves with a conscious mind.

How do you want to grow? Is it pain and struggle or joy and adventure? Choose joy and you will find the courage to take each next step towards a more well lived life. A life where you fully express your inner genius in ways that benefit all. Tap into the brave rebellious part of yourself. It can be counted on. It will show you the way.

One thing to watch for with this new moon in Aquarius is being too detached. It’s great to tap into our cyborg selves when we need to get out of sticky situations but real relationships are not so easily left behind. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

If you have a perfectly good thing going and suddenly feel crowded, it may just be Aquarius needing to assert its freedom. Tread lightly, be aware of consequences.

As with all new moons this is your chance to seed your intentions. Take time to get clear about what it is you want to create and make your plan. New moons give us a wonderful influx of energy. Ride the wave of creation-your life is your work of art. Live!

About the author: I get such lovely feedback and attract very Light conscious people, feel blessed. I was told in 2005 while at a group channeling session, that I was one of the early indigo Children, at the time I was only vaguely aware of what that meant.I was 32 and it was true. Such a gift to find that out and begin to understand my differences were common among people with similar wiring. I have been studying astrology for 21 years, teaching and practicing professionally for 14 and speaking and writing for the last 6. I am also a Mum of a 14 year old unschooled daughter and the life partner to her Dad. It’s a grand little life and I want to help other people exit the matrix and live a life of Love and Light too. My offering is the connection to the energies of the planets and the understanding of our birth charts, our blueprint for our life plans. Please visit Hillory Skott International Holistic Astrologer.
