Note From Phoenix...
As you read this New Moon report I would like to remind you that the Iraqi War (invasion) started in the spring of 2003 and the introduction of the New Iraqi Dinar and the artificial program rate for the new Iraqi Dinar began in the spring of 2004.
And now with this New Moon ... we end this era ... once and for all.
All I can say is let's light this candle!

This year’s Aquarius New Moon marks the end of an era. It is the last of the type we have been experiencing since 2004, the last with an energy that blends electricity, genius and individuality with higher love, other-worldly inspiration and an awareness of the inter-connectedness of all being.
Instead of encouraging us to bask in that blending, thought, this Moon is telling us to get on already and shoving us out of it onto our solo journeys.
This New Moon in Aquarius is the last one in our lifetimes that will occur with Uranus (the ruler of Aquarius) in Pisces — and the last with the ruler of Pisces, Neptune, in Uranus’ home base of Aquarius. This mutual reception between Uranus and Neptune is responsible for the electric/misty blending that has simultaneously zapped and engulfed us since Uranus entered Pisces in March of 2003, and that has colored every Aquarius and Pisces New Moon since then.
Their mutual reception is coming to an end, with Uranus moving into Aries this coming March and Neptune entering his home in April.
As a result, though a New Moon sets a cycle into motion, this one has a definite wrapping-up vibe.
A look backward to the spring of 2003 and beginning of 2004, when Uranus was embarking on its travels through Pisces, gives clues about what’s wrapping up.
(Note: Spring 2003 was the start of the Iraqi War and spring of 2004 was the start of the new Iraqi Dinar and the artificial program rate.~ Phoenix.)
That time started us on a voyage of self-discovery, learning more about who we are on a core level and bringing that being more and more to the surface. It’s become harder and harder to live in any way that does not allow your true being expression.
At the same time that we’ve been exploring our individuality, the mutual reception to Neptune has been instilling an innate awareness of the commingling of our energies with others (and with all of life), an ability to pull guidance out of the air as if via lightning rod, and a greater experience of connection to forces that can’t be physically grasped, such as compassion, artistic inspiration and spiritual enlightenment.
What affect have these energies had on you? Think back over the past six or seven years in terms of them. They’ve played a role in how life has unfolded for you. It’s visible now, or at least where it’s landed you. Uranus and Neptune are in a close growth aspect, which provides a vantage point for seeing how you have learned to live more true to yourself and more in awareness of your connection to others.
Other aspects of this New Moon say it’s time to move on. Mars, the planet of drive and motivation, is in a close conjunction with the Sun and Moon. His proximity kickstarts the decisions, seeds and new growth that begin under this New Moon, and he is pushing each of them forward consistently with our unique and individual style. Mars in Aquarius isn’t particularly caught up in the emotions of the activity. His is a more intellectual expression of force, which can be passionate in its own way, though that’s likely to be more about the concepts than any particular person. So there could be a rough-shod quality to the activity he inspires, so focused on concepts and individuating that it loses sight of the effect on others.
The urge to get moving is also coming from Venus, the goddess of what we value — relationships, money, possessions and aspects of ourselves. She’s in a tight action-demanding aspect with the Moon’s ruler Uranus, and the pressure generated by this pair will break us from people, situations and attitudes.
(Expect to see changes and departures of people from your situation, circle or household)
Some departures might be ones that our Mars-in-Aquarius focus instigates; others may be the seemingly wild card, random snaps that only Uranus can bring. As always the influence is good medicine. We may not like it going down (although we may welcome it), but it’s taking us away from people, situations and attitudes that don’t line up with our values and/or (likely both) aren’t coming along for the next stage of Uranus’ journey.
This New Moon has yet another enormous arbiter and force of change. The Nodes of the Moon are exactly squaring Jupiter, down to the minute. The new 12-year cycle that Jupiter launched on January 22, full circle from 1999, is where we are to go, and how — boldly, without hesitation (or forethought, for that matter) and enthusiastically. It’s time to let primal life force erupt within you, no matter what the temperatures are outdoors, and leap into your new direction — your personal, independent direction.
What starts as a small motion has the power to catch fire and blaze a trail far beyond your expectations. The flames this sparks will kiss your closest relationships….and either ignite them or burn them out in the process.
Here is Lynda Hill’s interpretation of the Sabian Symbol for the New Moon at 14 Aquarius, reprinted with her kind permission from her book The Sabian Symbols As An Oracle, the Special Edition:
A TRAIN ENTERING A TUNNEL
Commentary: ‘A Train Entering a Tunnel’ shows the ability, in these modern times, to take the shortest and most direct route to a destination or an outcome. Years ago, we would have had to go the long way around a mountain, but now we can use many pathways, methods and “shortcuts” to get where we want to go quickly and expediently. Often, though, going into a ‘Train Tunnel’ can be a weird experience; the sunlight suddenly disappears, and it can feel as though we are hurtling through the earth to some unknown destination. This can be exciting, but also often rather disconcerting as the ‘Train’ speeds towards its destination or goal.
Oracle: You may feel the need to cut through any obstacles you encounter and to go straight ahead, regardless of any unseen hazards on your way. It may be necessary to examine whether you are operating at cross-purposes with someone. There may be a need to check the ‘Trains’ signals, to make sure that there’s not a collision with people, or complications, coming the other way. This can be particularly true if this feels like a “one-track” journey. Perhaps the situation feels like it’s never end going to end, like you’re stuck in a ‘Tunnel’, but it’s certain that it will. You are likely to have a great deal of drive and it’s probable that others are with you, or people may be depending on you, so plough on through. However, this can be a lonely journey that you’re on. It may feel like you’re going through a dark ‘Tunnel’ all by yourself, and there can be a sense of isolation. Whatever the situation, there’s a need to cut to the heart of the problem, without stopping to consider every single detail. If you feel that you’re heading down the “right track”, quickly adjusting, changing or making up your mind about some issue or problem can lead to swift conclusions and solutions. Getting stuck in the various details of the situation will probably just add to a much longer outcome than is needed. You, or someone close to you, may need to just go for it. Look to ensure that you’re not missing out on the joy in the journey though, perhaps you’d really rather go the long way around rather than through the ‘Tunnel’?
Keywords: Deep penetration. Cutting through extraneous or stifling detail. Persistence. Shortcuts to a desired end. Heart bypasses-physical, emotional, spiritual, etc. Cutting to the chase. Seeing and going for the objective regardless of side issues. Working at getting something finished or done. Near-death experiences. The need for track maintenance. Dropping all distracting considerations. Fallopian tubes. Hurried sex.
The Caution: Being overcautious. Taking the long way around OR taking shortcuts that inhibit deep penetration of a matter. Cutting through the crap. Tunnel vision. Cutting people off. Not listening to others. Having a one-track mind that doesn’t allow for detours or deviations. Severe changes in pressure. Railroading and bulldozing.
