' The New Moon on February 2nd at 13 degrees of “liberating” Aquarius (9:31 pm EST) is more powerful than the norm because it conjoins “initiator” Mars, ruler of the aggressive urge. This could propel us into more of a “manic” phase or launch at warp speed. A “do, do, do” mode. Mars represents the physical energy in the body. Remember, too, that expansive Jupiter is in Mars-ruled Aries which can also raise up our activity level and get us wanting to conquer new frontiers. Aries is very pioneering and does not want to be restrained.

'We now enter the final chapters of the cardinal crisis. Four of the five outer planets have transited the solstice and equinoctial points this past summer. It is now time for the lunar nodes to cross these same points. We now begin a period where the World Axis will be forced open, ejecting its inner contents and forcing all the world to become aware of the loss. This is because an eclipse is essentially a rip in the fabric of time.

The new moon a couple of days ago at 25 degrees Aquarius has activated a part of the sky which has had a lot of attention in the last 9 months. The triple conjunctions of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune have all been around this degree, in May, July and December of 2009. The last of these conjunctions is 17 February 2010 with Chiron conjunct Neptune. There have also been retrograde stations of these planets here, and Chiron and Neptune station direct around 25 Aquarius in early Novemeber 2010.

"The New Moon falls at 26 Aquarius on February 13, 2010, 6:51 pm PST, 9:51 pm EST, 2:51 am GMT on February 14. The New Moon conjunct Chiron and Neptune will shine a light on the Jupiterian beginnings of these energies that began a few weeks ago. We'll all have the ability to show how we can demonstrate some form of higher power.

This is a very long article packed with a lot of valuable information, so if you're ready, let's go into the mystic!

"A reader asked me what it meant that the recent New Moon in Libra fell conjunct their Pluto. That got me to thinking, and you know what that means....
While forming the answer to the query, I realized that at certain points in the year, a series of New Moons and Full Moons in fact do stimulate many of the "generational planets" in our charts. Whether Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto, there are a sequence of Lunations that trigger these outer, invisible, "transpersonal" energies, allowing us to face spiritual lessons that evolve us in major ways."

"When the astrologers of past centuries made forecasts for the year starting at the vernal equinox, Nature's year, they paid the most careful attention to a chart erected for the last New Moon occurring before the beginning of spring. They used this chart as the basis for their world-predictions far more than charts cast for the exact minute the Sun entered the zodiacal sign Aries in various parts of the world.

"Each human embryo as it develops within the womb is said to recapitulate very briefly the series of biological evolutionary developments of life forms in the "biosphere" — i.e., within the very narrow space extending above and below the planet's surface. Once the embryo has become truly "human," it can be assumed that in a less obvious and perhaps unrecognizable manner it passes through the stages which led human races to the level of a biological development characterizing present day humanity.
