"The past has no power to stop you
from being present now.
Only your grievance about
the past can do that.
What is grievance?
The baggage of old
thought and emotion."
— Lao Tzu
Blessings Beautiful Cosmic Soul,
Are you ready to embrace change?
Are you ready for a massive reset?
Welcome to visionary Aquarius Season!
Last Lunar Cycle we utilized the energies of structured Capricorn and nurturing Cancer to lay down our foundation and re-parent ourselves.
Now those structures are put to the test to see if they can hold up when the unexpected arises. We can utilize Aquarius’ forward thinking and innovation to refine and adjust our systems as needed.
This particular Lunation in Aquarius amplifies New Beginnings with a Super Moon and Lunar New Year.
This Super New Moon 1° of Aquarius takes place on Saturday January 21, 2023 at approximately 1:53PM MST.
The meeting of the Sun and New Moon happens at one degree, the karmic point of New Beginnings.
Innovative Aquarius, ruled by the “Great Awakener” planet of rebellion and change, Uranus, is ready to shake things up!
The Sun which represents Self moved into the zodiac sign of Aquarius on Friday January 20th where it will reside until February 18th, illuminating themes revolving around Hope & Progress.
A Supermoon occurs when the Moon is at its closest point to the Earth in its elliptical orbit. This happens only a few times a year and amplifies the energy of that specific New or Full Moon.
New moons are times of new beginnings, planting seeds in true alignment with your individual values.
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, is on Sunday January 22, 2023.
Tied to the lunar calendar, the holiday began as a time for feasting and to honor household and heavenly deities, as well as ancestors.
The New Year typically begins with the first new moon that occurs between the end of January and spans until the full moon arrives.
Each culture celebrates the Lunar New Year differently with various foods and traditions that symbolize prosperity, abundance and togetherness.
Houses are thoroughly cleaned to rid them of inauspicious spirits, which might have collected during the old year.
Cleaning is also meant to open space for good will and good luck.
2023 is the year of the Water Rabbit.
Both the element of Water and the Rabbit are associated with the Moon which represents our dreams, emotions, and the subconscious.
The Rabbit also symbolizes fertility, creativity and intuition
- more energy for new beginnings!
Aquarius encourages us to let go of old ways, move forward, re-evaluate friendships and endeavors.
We can harness this energy to be Bold and Inventive!
Aquarius encourages community.
While the Sun is in Aquarius try making one new business or network connection.
Stay connected to your vision.
If you have a vision board, meditate on it, if you don’t, start creating one.
While the Moon is in Aquarius January 21-23 connect with a greater community and create a vision for the future.
Affirmation: “I Envision A Better Future”
