Realistic Expectations - Moon in Aquarius 1/13 - 1/15

Entry: Tuesday, February 9th at 8:20 pm EST/ Wednesday, February 10 at 1:20 am UTC

Departure: Friday, February 12th at 2:23am EST / 7:23am UTC.

Moon in Aquarius: Peregrine. Without any essential dignity and not supported by a sectmate, the Moon is generally less stable. In Aquarius, humanitarianism and ideals come to the fore. Self-growth and personal development for the greater good is a theme here. Your own thought processes and emotional needs may become harder to access as they are eclipsed by other bigger picture considerations which privilege the whole over any individual part.

Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Fixed Air. Fixedness indicates prolonged activities and an overall steadiness in people’s moods. The Moon in fixed signs makes activities more stable and their duration longer. The air element promotes mental stimulation and any activities which involve communication and language, and an air Moon tends to be very chatty and conversational, preferring discussion and the medium of language to anything else.

Moon’s ruler: The Moon is conjoined to her ruler Saturn. This indicates great support for grounding the Moon’s significations and carrying them through to completion. This is an excellent time to work towards the big picture and chase your dreams.

Relationship to the Sun: The Moon is averse to the Sun in Capricorn. This is a neutral placement. Your environment and surroundings will not take you down, but they also won’t go out of their way to support you.

Aspects

  • Conjoined Mercury in Aquarius. Communication can flow freely, and dialogue between people and the exploration of thoughts and ideas will happen with less struggle and resistance.

  • Superior Fixed Square to Mars in Taurus. This will create strong amounts of tension and frustration. Push-back from other people will be strong, and internal negative programs can become quite loud and intense. The fixed nature of the square indicates some kind of consistent tension on the back-burner throughout this period.

  • Conjoined Jupiter in Aquarius. This will bring in great emotional buoyancy and optimism, as well as potential for financial expansion and abundance and growth. The mood will be brighter and more uplifted, and help is likely to come from teachers and authority figures.

Summary: This period has the potential to bring a lot of good, helpful, long-term results. We have the Moon conjoining her ruler, Mercury, and Jupiter, all in a fixed sign. You can go far during this period, especially if you engage in very Mercurial or Jupiterian pursuits as part of your work or career. However, the Mars square will bring a definite amount of difficulty and struggle here, as the natural heat of Mars and the intensity of the square will off-set some of the potential brought about by the conjunctions. Moreover, though the Moon’s conjunction to her ruler is a good thing, this is a still a conjunction to Saturn, and Saturn essentially dignified will be guaranteed to provide a lot of struggles and challenges, which terminate in difficult, yet helpful, lessons. I would try and be honest and realistic about what you can accomplish. If you set your mind towards groundedness and realism, you will be successful in what you try to do, even if it isn’t as glamorous as you would like.
