New Moon-Fe.4,2019-Washington, D.C.

This new moon is another dramatic one with the nodes of the Moon forming a challenging aspect to Mars, Planet of action, and Uranus, Planet of unexpected dramatic change. On the chart of Washington, D.C. the Ascendant at 28 degrees of Cancer, the sign of nurturing and emotions, is aligned with the North Node of the Moon highlighting this time as a very emotional one. As with the last full moon, it is close to Trumps Venus and Saturn conjunction indicating that his insecurities will continue to be aggravated by things happening around him. There will be more unexpected events and revelations.

On the brighter side, there is a nice Trine between Jupiter the Planet signifying adventure and good luck in its own sign of Sagittarius and Mars the planet of action in its own sign of Aries so there will probably be some positive actions taken to stabilize things in the government. Also, the Sun, Moon and Mercury are aligned in the sign of Aquarius, the humanitarian and rebel, so that can result in some positive reforms.

On a personal level it’s a good time to take some risks and make some changes-don’t get stuck in a rut but with Saturn and Pluto aligned with the south node in Capricorn it is important to be grounded and get your ducks in order (so to speak). It isn’t a good time to act impulsively or to just assume that everything will flow smoothly without doing needed research or making necessary preparations. This is particularly true for people born in the mid to late degrees of cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn or having planets there.

This is also a very good time for being involved with groups and humanitarian causes as shown by the conjunction of Sun, Moon and Mercury in Aquarius making positive aspects to Jupiter and Mars but it is important to keep tabs on realistic limitations as there is a challenging square aspect from Jupiter, the adventurer to Neptune, the dreamer.
