Aspects to look out for
New Moon sextile Neptune in Pisces at 29 degrees conjunct Saturn in Pisces at 27 degrees
Neptune and Saturn are both direct once again in Pisces. These two energies are still working together to implement emotional and spiritual boundaries, while developing a process which enables one to create new processes. This can aid allowing one to develop their creativity, emotional discipline, and acknowledge another person’s emotional state without taking on those emotional traits. As the New Moon is moving forward in creating security, Neptune and Saturn sextile creates an opportunity for everyone to gauge the situation and acknowledge others’ opinions with becoming those opinions.
New Moon Trine Uranus in Taurus at 27 degrees

As we utilize the energy of Uranus in Taurus settle in with the idea and identity of who we are now, the New Moon promotes the need to maintain and protect this version of whom we’ve become.
Venus in Aquarius at 1 degree conjunct Pluto in Aquarius at 3 degrees
Venus in Aquarius at 1 degree will be looking to shift the ideas of harmony and beauty. It may step back by removing itself from the equation to identify what equality and equity truly look like. Venus in Aquarius will identify beauty in the most unique and innovative ways.
Pluto at 3 degrees may bring up the ideas of who we were. Those buried aspects of self that we may have mentally locked away and the pain associated with them. These maybe energy we’ve invested in community, different social settings, and/or the side of ourselves that we wish for others to acknowledge and accept.
These two energies working together in Aquarius may draw attention to shifting the way we see beauty and balance within the collective. This energy can also be the strange attractor to the mysteries of the world. These energies working together may also encourage the desire to control the outcomes of society and reshape the idea of humanitarianism and the societal collective. If you feel this energy during the New Moon, pay attention to what surfaces before you decided to implement new processes. This conjunction can be a potent energy. Just be careful and aware of the movement you may begin.
