New Moon 29 Jan 2006 at 9° Aquarius 32’
Usually I start to feel the effects of a full or new Moon about 4 days before it's exact. All of a sudden world processes are noticeably different -- people are more abrasive or rash, coordination is out-of-synch or people start ranting. These conditions reach their apex when the opposition or conjunction is exact, then begin to taper off. Sometimes the altered circumstances have no lasting results and just fade away, sometimes they do have results, results that last a lifetime or at least the memory of them.
For example, on Tuesday or Wednesday last week, on my way home from work, three times drivers came in from behind on the right and cut in front of me, one driver making a left turn from the middle lane, while I was making a left turn. "What the hell?" I said to myself, then it dawned on me to check the phase of the Moon.
Seeing that the New Moon would occur on Sunday, I decided to do a chart on it and try to formulate an image to sum up what I found (lengthy, wordy interpretations can be dreary for the writer as well as the reader). So, if you click on the link above, you will see the chart. It uses Greenwich, England, as the locus (GMT).
My image for this new Moon:
The king and queen (Sun and Moon, "Sol et Luna") are sequestered with their court, flanked on the right by the Minotaur (a bull-monster in the labyrinth) and on the left by jovial knight caught in an undertow. The king and queen appear to be under the sway of a dour merchant, a real scrooge, who denies and obstructs their every attempt to be free. But in reality, he is their means to success, if they will only see it.
Of course, there are other views of the significance of this New Moon in Aquarius. Here are two:
- New Year Begins at Crossroads in the Heavens
- Candle Moon — a time for divination
