<\/dt>\nAs regards the western civil calendar you most likely use, two luminary conjunctions in January mean no New Moon in February. Symbolically, that leaves February open-ended.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Thursday’s Aquarius New Moon opens a new yearly cycle for many Asians — a Year of the Horse, which is a very different energy from the Year of the Snake now concluding.<\/p>\n
As Gerry McGuire-Thompson and Shuen-Lian Hsaio put it in The Guide to Chinese Horoscopes<\/em>, the two signs (Snake and Horse) have “wildly different natures” with a Year of the Horse introducing “wide-open spaces” compared to the “contained” nature of a Snake year.<\/p>\n As with all things in astrology, there is a double-edge to the implication of an open ended period, whether it be a month or a year. Open ended means more potential for solutions. It also means a greater chance of chaos, or at least needless waste.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The potentially chaotic period being opened by the Aquarius New Moon is reinforced by the luminary conjunction’s sextile to the Aries lair of Uranus. That’s because planetary constituents in sextile aspect (a separation of 60 degrees on the zodiac circle) are interpreted as working to support each other.<\/p>\n To have a unified collective consciousness (represented by the luminaries conjoined in gregarious Aquarius) supporting the widely galvanizing energy of Uranus in the most wildly fiery of signs is an open question in and of itself.<\/p>\n The answer to the open question may be significant collective advances, such as the inclusive group marriage ceremony<\/a> that concluded the Grammy Awards on Sunday. Or the answer could express through previously coherent groups coming crazily apart, such as the Arizona chapter of the GOP censuring John McCain<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n How to recognize and address similar open ended situations in your life is instructively advised by the larger, composed aspect of which the sextile from the New Moon to Uranus is a part — a yod.<\/p>\n A yod is a Y-shaped aspect composed of either three or four points. The fourth object, if present, converts the Y-shape to something resembling a peace symbol. Thursday’s yod is auspiciously of the peace-symbol variety. The sextile from the Aquarius New Moon to Uranus will form the spread-out part. The axis of the yod, extending to split the spread out part (making for a peace-symbol motif) is the opposition from Chiron to the asteroid 2 Pallas.<\/p>\n For several years Chiron has been traversing Pisces for the first time since the peace-symbol days of the 1960s, with several more years to go. Hence, it is appropriate that Chiron should be positioned equidistant between the Aquarius New Moon and Uranus while\u00a0opposing the Virgo position of Pallas.<\/p>\n Asteroid 2 Pallas is named after the ancient goddess Pallas-Athena. She was a passionate champion of justice, as well as a master of arts and politics, and a kick-ass warrior who repeatedly defeated Mars himself.<\/p>\n The opposition between Pallas and Chiron, as part of the Aquarius New Moon yod, indicates potentially open-ended conflicts between would-be allies. Such conflicts are needless, wasteful, tragic, and usually arise from extremism.<\/p>\n Extremism has its origins in a passion for justice, but leads to injustice, undermining the peace, unity and broad vision situationally anchored by Chiron in Thursday’s Full Moon yod.<\/p>\n The solution, should you find yourself in the midst an open-ended, needless, wasteful and tragic conflict is to be open with yourself. Start by acknowledging your own contribution to the situation rather than taking sides to cover for complicity. By working first for resolution within, you can prepare to model a solution for others with whom you would justly be allies. It will probably not be easy or quick to find such a solution with others, but it will be important.<\/p>\n Which is how the Aquarius Full Moon will function to serve you should you choose to work with it consciously. By serving either to help you conclude with coherence or begin exploring an extended period of open ended potential, Thursday’s luminary conjunction will be there so you can show the way when others get lost.<\/p>\n Wherever the Aquarius New Moon does not correlate with a conclusion, it will be an open-ended beginning with no scheduled end, but rather the chance for a the best possible ending for all involved no matter how long it takes. It will take strength, restraint and a clear head to sustain with no end in sight, which is how you have come to be here now. We all have our work cut out for us. Please be on the lookout for how to do your part to bring justice and peace together again as allies to benefit all, and as the best, highest use of the Aquarius New Moon.
