New Moon in Aquarius

New Moon in Aquarius 11^th February 2021

Introduction

The New Moon in Aquarius is all about detachment and logic, inventiveness and forward thinking, and humanitarianism and connectedness. Now is a good time for a logical, pragmatic approach, but also for being true to yourself and who you are, for connecting with like-minded people for a higher, humanitarian good. It also marks the start of the Chinese New Year, which for 2021 is the Year of the Ox. The attributes of the Ox are strength, reliability, patience, methodical and trustworthy.

This four card spread is designed to help you focus on the key energies surrounding the New Moon in Aquarius to guide you towards the best steps to take to become aligned with this celestial event.  

1. Where do I most need to show gratitude this month?

Six of Pentacles

This is a card about charity, about give and take and about having balance with those transactions. Be grateful for any charity you may receive, financial or otherwise, or, if you are called upon to be charitable be grateful for the opportunity to support and help.  

2. How can I best be true to myself?

Five of Swords

This card suggests now is the time to come out from behind the rock, to show yourself and take steps towards achieving success. Don’t be afraid of showing your true colours, your skills and abilities, your dreams and ambitions.  Make sure you have planned accordingly, as careful planning will support your ambitions and protect you from traditionalists and nay-sayers.  

3. Where can I show humanitarianism and charity?

Eight of Swords

Security and protection are at the heart of this card, suggesting you have a secure situation and can extend this protection to others. This could be physical, emotional or mental security.  Providing support to people who are vulnerable in these areas (eg. homeless, abused, mentally unwell), or supporting organisations who help people in these situations will benefit both you and them, promoting good karma.

4. Where can I be most inventive?

XVII The Star

This card shows the stars as the guiding force towards your true purpose. It’s a card of hope and inspiration, spirituality and renewal. It suggests meditation as a tool to stimulate inventiveness, and the focus of that inventiveness to be on spiritual matters, reconnecting you to your true purpose.

Summary

The Six of Pentacles, the card of charity and give and take, suggests a charitable attitude is the best approach this month.  Now is the time to show your true colours, and step out from behind the rock, (Five of Swords), and reveal your dreams and ambitions, skills and abilities, and plans for the future. You are in a more secure position than you think, and benefit from the protection of others (Eight of Swords). Make sure you in turn pass on opportunities to provide security and protection. Trust in the universe (and the stars) to guide you towards your true purpose and stimulate sparks of inventiveness along the way (XVII The Star). Now is the time to make the most of your ingenuity and unique ideas. Don’t let traditionalists or nay-sayers hold you back.
