New Moon in Aries - You Hurt, I Hurt

New Moon in Aries 

Both the Sun and Moon are square the Nodal Axis. This New Moon carries a super intense energy. First and foremost, Aries is the Sign of initiation, initiative, spontaneous urgent response, without much thought given to consequences. New ideas are put in motion as well to solve the hot problems at hand. The initiatives challenge the status quo, and makes us look to a future of safety. It is possible that not all considerations and implications are taken into account when taking actions. However, the Sun's recent entrance in Aries has signaled the Spring Equinox (at least Springtime in the Northern Hemisphere), so, there is a sense of New Beginning vitality, an energetic impulse that renews hope with promising projects.

New Moon conjunct Chiron

However, this New Moon conjunct Chiron adds a hurting 'flavor' to this new beginning, and with an obviously good reason. This promised new life hurts. The seeds planted around the time of the Winter Solstice, are now sprouting from the darkness. In December, the first news about Covid19 were barely coming out from China with lots of secrecy and confusion. Remember the Christmas Solar Eclipse? Then, I wasn't fully aware what I meant when I wrote, "turning the last page of your old life". Now that this New Moon squares the Solar Eclipse degree, we clearly see the fate that it set up for us. 

The Aries self-confidence, determination, impulse, and pioneering energy are thwarted, inadequate, feel incongruent, and hard to implement. We are constraint to work with what we have and nothing else. This is definitely and surely a fated new start.


The New Moon square the Nodal Axis

But wait, that's not all. The North Node is at the exact degree it was on September 11, 2001. This may bring back that painful 'flavor' in addition. In any case, the new start asks us to learn from the past and re-orient ourselves to the future having assimilated the lessons. We cannot discard the resurgence of similar themes, like extremism, violence, war hints, or simply having troops patrolling the streets to enforce social isolation. Especially because Mars, the ruler of this New Moon is in a meeting with Pluto, his associate in cruelty. Remember that both planets rule Scorpio, the stinger predator of the Zodiac.

Mars conjunct Pluto and Jupiter

Mars Jupiter Pluto activates July 16, 2019 Lunar Eclipse @ 24º♑️. The themes in the news that day: federal executions are back, immigration irregularities in ICE facilities, restrictions to migration, migrant children issues, migrant shipwreck in the Mediterranean, climate change issues: overheated summer in EU, wildfires in Alaska, Trump opposes all fuel efficient targets proposed by automakers. The political news related to the Russian interference. And Epstein is found dead. At this time there may be a revisit to any of those issues.

Presently, Mars is supercharged of energy from the 'atomic' power of Pluto and the expansion of Jupiter. This New Moon ruled by Mars is like having a new start on steroids, a racing car at the kickoff accelerating in neutral gear. 

Moon Sextile Saturn 0º♒️

The New Moon also sextiles Saturn in Aquarius, opens an opportunity to establish new social structures, implement new social restrictions, including in communication, internet, information, and science. For more details, visit my Saturn in Aquarius article.

Moon semisextile Uranus

Since the Moon is balsamic (right before conjunction) Uranus, this is not so good of an aspect. Some people (symbolized by the Moon) who disapprove of the governmental impositions by authorities, and challenge the status quo, may become irrational due to the perceived repression of their individuality, and their idea of freedom. I've ran into really alarming news of certain groups whose members are encouraged to use the virus as a weapon to spread the illness among another group they 'hate'. I'd like you to be aware that not everybody is willing to cooperate in this crisis and sacrifice themselves in service. On the contrary, some already have a defiant and provocative attitude against the restrictive measures. Still others' attitude verge on shocking perversion. 

Venus in Taurus applying trine to the Capricorn team

Venus is not only applying to the Capricorn multiple conjunction and the Saturn Pluto conjunction 22º. She is about to meet Eris, the Goddess of the Discord! This may indicate rapid developments and the implementation of market regulations for the global economy, affecting trade, banking, and taxes. Will people be forgiven the taxes payments, at least be allowed a delay for a period? 

Venus sextile Neptune

Well, the good news is that Venus sextile Neptune makes for an increased creativity in financial matters. You may be making or spending money in creative activities, like entertainment, art, romance, charity or spiritual endeavors. This is a hopeful energy that not only stimulates imagination, but promotes compassion and sacrifice for the victims of the virus. Thank you, dear healthcare workers!

Saturn in Aquarius

Chronos, Lord of Time- public commons picture
Saturn in Aquarius

Saturn is happy in the humanitarian and social Sign of Aquarius because it’s the traditional ruler. As the Lord of his House, we can expect him to put some order in it. Saturn brings social organization, new structures and regulations to society to ensure security and the protection of all.

This will be a time of economic recession or depression, when economic progress and development will require much patience, hard work, and social maturity. At the same time, Saturn always requires integrity, practical common sense, and a higher level of social responsibility. The only way to breakthrough the challenges will be an overhaul at all levels of society. We can expect new educational, economic, healthcare, production and commercial systems with the use of cutting edge technology. Saturn in Aquarius favors manual and mechanical work, scientific and technological innovation, and values intellectual advancement.


What can we expect?

Just one week after Saturn enters Aquarius, Mars joins him. Actions are subject to the regulations, constrictions, and delays imposed by authorities.

From chaos to factual information

The Internet and social activity at large will submit to severe restrictions, rules, and probably surveillance in many places of the globe. Otherwise, people will assume the consequences. We would be held accountable for our social activity and expression, be it in person or virtually.

Change of values, change of desires

The crisis of covid19 has dramatically opened people's eyes about what they really value. As Saturn applies to the square to Uranus and makes it exact in 2021, our values in general will continue changing, and so will our desires and decisions.

Freedom instead of dissolution

We are now required to discipline ourselves, to assume personal responsibility, to be our own agents of authority. We are finding what authentic rebellion means, because we will have a real cause to rebel. Social changes will require our maturity, and understanding that 'my right starts where the right of other people begins' (J. P. Varela). We finally understand that we cannot do whatever we want. Not only what I do affect others, but like a boomerang, later turns also against me.

From pyramidal to horizontal 

We have already realized that authorities, even the elected ones, do not represent our interests in the least. Then, people are ready to recover their own authority, take responsibility and work for the issues they have been asking for such a long time. Individual initiative and innovation will replace our bad habit of waiting for the 'father figure' of the day to do it for us.

From international to local

The square to Uranus in Taurus is helping us change our economic values as well. Now, we understand the unsustainability of the global economic system built through the Era of Industrialization and Globalization, while Jupiter and Saturn conjoined in Earth Signs. As the supplies don't come from China as usual, we understand how vulnerable the market has been. It'd be necessary to build small self sufficient  communities with local production and transportation of merchandise if we are to survive.

Cooperation instead of competition

Aquarius is the Sign of alliances to defend a cause, and cooperatives for a specific social or material benefit. Saturn favors the formation of grassroot like minded unconventional associations of mutual support. In times of scarcity, neighbors gather resources together to share, practice informal commerce, swap goods, pitch in, and exchange services to overcome poverty, achieve goals, and make dreams come true.

Saturn Jupiter Conjunction

700 years ago, the Pluto Saturn conjunction happened in December 1284, 26º♑️. Just a year later, in December 1285, Jupiter and Saturn met in 7º♒️ Aquarius, just as it will happen this year. It was the start of the Renaissance in the Western Civilization. Direct result of the Crusades, the Renaissance was born out of the new knowledge brought back from their travels to the Middle East. Islamic countries had kept many classical Greek and Roman texts that had been lost in Europe, and they were reintroduced through returning crusaders. (Wikipedia)

Then, with Saturn and Jupiter conjoining in Air Signs, the evolutionary transition took a couple of centuries, it is said that the Black Plague of mid 1300s set the stage for the Renaissance, by creating a complete chaos and vacuum of authority.

Intellectual and scientific studies soared, Universities were created, the fine arts were perfected, all of which had been relegated during the Middle/Dark Ages. There was new concern with healthy living, cleaning, and lightening up of the spirits.

In a sense, since 1802 when Saturn Jupiter started meeting in Earth signs, people had gone back to the dark ages of materialism. With industrial revolution, humanity developed heavy machinery, to exploit material resources. Until today, progress was synonym of material wealth.

Now, that Jupiter Saturn meet in Air signs for the next 200 years, progress will be synonym of scientific, cultural, and intellectual wealth. The fine arts are coming back, inspirational music, poetry, performing arts are on the rise. Scientific and intellectual development will serve Humanity as a whole, promoting a higher stage of evolution and civilization.

Within a year of the present Saturn Pluto conjunction, we will have the Jupiter Saturn conjunction in Aquarius. Another new beginning, a new Renaissance of the Mind, and its intellectual capacities. At our level of evolution, the transition will probably happen faster than then, but still this Air period will last about 200 years.

2021 Saturn Squares to Uranus

Saturn and Uranus are enemies from time immemorial. The Greek Myth tells us that Saturn rebelled against his father, Uranus, and castrated him. In Astrology, Saturn represents tradition and the past, Uranus innovation and the future. With three squares in store for 2021, we can expect clashes between the status quo and the urgency for change. Since both Aquarius and Taurus are stubborn Signs, both planets will be slow to give in, if ever. People will have the tendency to be opinionated and oppose changes, thinking that we still have the possibility to go back to the old ways.

There will be a clash between revolution and stability. Old ideologies may be banned or relegated, but new scientific discoveries or inventions may be rejected or opposed. People may resist taking individual responsibility, embracing changes, in a state of anxiety and fear of an unknown though promising future. Those used to unjustified privileges will have to make sacrifices. Some people still attached to the past may be pessimistic, and have a negative approach because they find it hard to adapt to the changes.

We will have to remember that with this new Saturn and Pluto cycle, we are still working on the demolition and reconstruction of our civilization. We made this chaos, because we are to evolve, develop and grow as a Human Species. Embrace the New Dawn of Humanity! Let's make it together!

Sat Nam.
