It's giving "you're my only hope."
It's 14:58 PST, on February 9th, and there's a New Moon in Aquarius
Hey y’all,
“The Good, The Bad, and Everything In-between” is a lunar horoscope of the monthly variety. Why lunar? Well, simply put, the Moon is for the people. And, most importantly, the Moon is for the streets. If you’re looking for musings ridden with purple language and astrological DIY, look elsewhere. My goal is to be as clear and unruly as possible. The world’s already so . . . meh. Maybe this will help? Today’s forecast is giving “you’re my only hope.”
Sincerely,
E.Y.
P.S. Curious where the New Moon is new mooning for you? Look below at “Where’s the New Moon fucking up?” to find out. Again, for those who aren’t familiar, the houses speak to areas of your life.
The Good: A week or two ago, the Sun and the Lord of the Underworld entered Aquarius hand in hand. Pluto hasn’t been there, it’s worth mentioning, since 1798. Back then, the world was alight with scandal and change: see the French, American, and Haitian Revolutions for details. She’s all about the masses. And I’m curious if the same will be true in 2024. Like Princess Leia smuggling cries-for-help into R2-D2, Mercury, having just bed Pluto, is smuggling cries-for-revolution using this New Moon. She’s got a renovate-or-eliminate kind of vibe to her. Use it strategically.
The Bad: So, broadly speaking, the New Moon, having just escaped Pluto’s clutches, is hurling toward Saturn, which, categorically speaking, doesn’t look, well, good. Even on a great day, those two don’t see eye-to-eye. Day versus night: Saturn is to mastery as the Moon is to experience. Their just-around-the-corner collision accentuates their struggle and their paradox. You can’t have one without the other. And yet, wading in Pisces, Saturn will see the Moon retreat, and remain goofily unscathed. Today it’s mastery over experience. Better luck next time, sweetie.
Everything Else In-between: Now, if you’re wondering why I’m talking about the Moon-Saturn conjunction in Pisces, you’re right to wonder. There is a method to my madness! First, the New Moon phase begins in Aquarius and ends in Aries late Monday evening. Second, this particular Moon-Saturn conjunction is brief yet injurious to the Moon. Third, Saturn and Saturn’s aims are concretized by his closeness to the Moon. Also, the young lunation is exacerbated by a rather galvanizing run-in (read: square) with Uranus. There’s an air of disruptive unpredictability here. It’s giving “rebellion and revolution, you’re my only hope.”
