New Moon in Aquarius: January 24, 2020: Effects By House

The new moon in Aquarius will take place, midday on Friday, January 24th. Uranus will square the new moon and enhance it’s effects.

This new moon should be dramatic, in part because it’s coming on the heels of the Saturn Pluto conjunction; part of large stellium in Capricorn that was sustained for six weeks. Most people have been bound in some way. It might be due some heavy responsibility, some restriction or merely their own fear.

This new moon signifies change. Uranus / Aquarius is said to liberate but the word that comes to mind for me is, loosed. This is because “liberate” is a word means different things to different people. It’s picked up connotations over the years. “Loosed” is more straightforward.

Saturn binds.

“Loosed” according to Dictionary.com:

1.free or released from fastening or attachment:
a loose end.
2.free from anything that binds or restrains; unfettered:
loose cats prowling around in alleyways at night.
3. uncombined, as a chemical element.

You can expect your feelings (moon) to change at this time. Your character (sun) may change simultaneously. If this happens, it will happen very fast. Not a month or a week or even a day. More like the time it takes to flip a switch.

You’ll probably have to make an effort to nail down a gain. It’s this way for me, at least. I get the idea or the insight or the grace or opportunity. If I don’t follow through, the good thing has been wasted on me. I’ve learned grab the lightning!
