New Moon in Aquarius
2/4/19 1:04 PM (PST)
Whole Sign Houses
A New Moon occurs when both the Sun and the Moon simultaneously occupy the same degree of the same sign in the zodiac. As you can see from the above chart, the Sun and Moon both occupy 15 Degrees Aquarius on 2/4/19 at 1:04 PM making this a New Moon.
The Moon Represents What is Happening
Occurring approximately once every 28 1/2 days, new moons denote the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new cycle. New Moons are a great time to initiate any kind of change or to begin attracting anything that is needed or wanted. Due to the fact that the moon is associated with our emotions, this is often seen as a new emotional cycle.
Some keywords associated with the moon include, but are not limited to, the following:
- "I Feel"
- emotions
- feelings
- family
- change
- instincts
- reflection
- imagination
- subconscious
- nurturing
Aquarius Represents How it Happens
The Astrological Sign in which the New Moon occurs can indicate how this emotional renewal may express itself. Some keywords associated with Aquarius include:
- "I Know"
- detached
- rebellious
- erratic
- original
- futuristic
- impersonal
- altruistic
- inventive
The Moon in Aquarius
A good way to better understand the Moon in Aquarius is to put these keywords side by side and blend them together. For example
The Moon Aquarius
emotions detached
feelings rebellious
family erratic
change original
instincts futuristic
reflection impersonal
imagination altruistic
subconscious inventive
So with the Moon in Aquarius, we might be feeling altruistic, yet emotionally detached about the future. We may desire change or freedom but only subconsciously or intuitively know what it is that we want and are willing deviate from the norm to get it. If we cannot find some way to utilize our creativity and originality to invent the desired change, then we may become restless and frustrated.
The House is Where it Happens
The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Aquarius to play out. Since the February New Moon occurs in 15 degrees Aquarius, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 15 degrees Aquarius occurs.

A Practical Example
New Moon in Aquarius and the 4th House
You may feel (the moon) that your home (4th house) looks or appears impersonal (Aquarius) and therefore your house does not feel like a home to you. At the outset of the new moon (ending / new beginnings) you may wish to get a new home or renovate, remodel, or rearrange the home you have. In remodeling or re-arranging your home, you may deviate from traditional design ideas and draw upon your own creativity and inventiveness (Aquarius) so that your home is more reflective of who you are as an individual.
With the moon (feelings and emotions) in Aquarius (detached) transiting the fourth house (home and family) you may feel more introverted and so staying home alone or with your family makes you feel more comfortable than going out out the town. Your familial relationships may become more warm and friendly, you may experience feelings of nostalgia, and feel more motherly and nurturing towards your family and yourself.
A Deeper Look
You can get a good idea of how the New Moon in Aquarius will affect you with this simple technique. However, if you wish to go deeper, then, in addition to the Moon Sign and Natal House you may also wish to look at any aspects the New Moon is making to other planets at the time of the New Moon as well as any aspects the New Moon is making to your natal placements.
Nonetheless, this is another subject entirely and will be the addressed in a future blog post. It is important to remember though that the aspects the New Moon make to the other planets at the time of the New Moon will affect everyone, while the aspects the New Moon is making to your Natal placements will apply only to you.
Where is 15 degrees Aquarius in your chart? How will the New Moon in Aquarius manifest for you?
