The BIG NEWS today is the New Moon in Aquarius at 01 degree 31 minutes.

The New Moon is when the Moon and the Sun are in the 'same sign' at the same degree and minute.

The Full Moon is when the Moon and the Sun are in 'opposite signs' at the same degree and minute.

The New Moon and the Full Moon pretty much trade-off every two (2) weeks. That means two (2) weeks ago, on Friday - January 6, 2023 there was a Full Moon. Two (2) weeks later here we are today at the New Moon. Two (2) weeks from now on Sunday - February 5, 2023 there will be the next Full Moon. And then two (2) weeks later on Monday - February 20, 2023 the next New Moon will arrive.

That's pretty much two (2) weeks and (1) day for each ebb and flow of the New Moon to Full Moon from January through February. And it just keeps going like that through the whole year, which means each month we experience a New Moon and Full Moon.

The New Moon is when we begin something NEW, and the Full Moon is when we bring that new thing to fruition. The New Moon means 'fresh starts and new beginnings' and the Full Moon is when we wrap-up our project and put a pretty little bow on it.

The New Moon and Full Moon in a certain sign, is the theme for that New Moon or Full Moon. Keep reading . . .

GET YOUR SOLAR RETURN! When the Sun 'Returns' to the same sign, degree and minute as when you were born

Sat. Jan. 21, 2023 New Moon in Aquarius at 3:53 PM EST at 01 degrees 33 minutes

Today's New Moon is in the sign of Aquarius, which rules the 11th house of - friendships, acquaintances, memberships, groups, the collective, masses of people, great minds think alike, alliances, fraternities, sororities, relationships within groups, socializing, sociology and activities that involve groups.

Aquarius and the 11th house rule - hopes and wishes. Think about this for a minute. Hopes and wishes. This is incredibly positive energy. Your hope. Your wish. This type of thinking keeps the spirit, the friendliness, the positivity and great vibes rollin'. Let the Good times roll. Aquarius is the FRIENDLIEST sign of the zodiac. Jennifer Aniston is well-known as super-friendly and of course was the most popular friend on 'Friends'.

Aquarian's are very popular people, which is why they should NEVER show up late, but yet they often do. Even though everyone gathers around the Aquarius, the Aquarius is not self-centered. They don't really know everyone is waiting for them to arrive. The party never really starts until Aquarius arrives. If you are Aquarius or have strong Aquarian energy, do not keep the party waiting. That's just not right.

Where is Aquarius in your chart? This is where you should be, can be and ought to be, your friendliest.

Aquarius is the altruistic one, the humanitarian, who rallies the cooperation of others and creates a group effort of sorts that makes everyone feel Good for rolling up their sleeves, lifting the cause, couch or box and getting BIG things completed.

It is because of this natural tendency to help, assist and uplift others that Aquarius reaps what they sow in super-quick fashion. Aquarius thinks nothing of helping others. It's a natural tendency for them to leap and assist if someone is about to go down. The Universe rewards that natural benevolent spirit in-kind. How could the Universe 'not' bless this sign when they are leaping to help others?

Now do not think for a second that Aquarius is a push-over because 'that' they are not. Aquarius is actually quite conversative and has no problem saying, "No" toward the unproductive, wasteful and the lazy. Aquarius knows who to help and who not to help without guilt or shame. Aquarius is NOT the type to throw money at a cause that does nothing. Aquarius can say "No" without being mean, sarcastic, shaming or blaming. They're so friendly!

Aquarius rules the Company finances, meaning if you look at your 11th house, the planets that land there will tell you the state of finances of the Company where you are employed. That is because the 11th house, is the 2nd house, of the Company, which is the 10th house. The 10th house is the career or profession. So it's 2nd house, is the 11th house. Twisted? I get it. Just read it again, just slower. This is how and why it is easy to see who can be or should be an entrepreneur. It's not for everyone. Some people should work for a Company and some people should work for themselves.

Aquarius is a child-ruling house. Now keep in mind folks, the opposite sign of any sign, is the same, just different. For instance, Leo rules the opposite 5th house, which rules children. So the opposite house, that being the 11th house of Aquarius rules children's organizations. It takes children and then expands it or takes it to another level. Aquarius rules groups and organizations, right? So that's how you get children's organizations. Ohhhhh, ho ho ho, I know, the conspiracy theory minds are crankin'. Right? I hear ya'. Especially knowing Pluto in Aquarius is getting ready to occur and take down the child trafficking, fake and perverted children's organizations that so many celebrities support and participate in.

Leo rules the heart, and Aquarius rules the circulation of blood through and around the heart. Think of this now in terms of people, causes and efforts. Aquarius is 'the circulator' among groups and so they 'circulate' among children's organizations. Oh I know the conspiracy theory minds are racin'. Right? I hear ya. So I'll feed you some nuggets that are worth your mind going in the direction that it is going.

There is NO OTHER SIGN that is as easily infiltrated as Aquarius. Sit with that folks before you move on and keep reading.

I will just interject here for a moment, when I am writing these long-ass horoscopes, sometimes I blow my own mind and I get up and walk away in the middle of writing. My brain just pops and I gotta just stop and be with what I just said. Maybe I will go outside and brush my hair with my fingers. (I don't use a brush, I use my fingers.) I don't like to sweep up two (2) foot hair strands so I go outside to brush my hair. Maybe I will wash the dishes. Maybe I pet the cats. Maybe I will straighten-out a drawer. I will do some sort of moving-meditation. (South Node Pisces here.) No kidding folks. I literally stop what I am doing to be with a thought. What can I say? I'm a Gemini and I like the production of my own thoughts. Gemini motto - "I think therefore I am."

So let's sit with the revelation that no other sign is as easily infiltrated as Aquarius. Infiltrated. I use that word deliberately and intentionally. If Aquarius is not mindful, they will be surreptitiously infiltrated. Many children's organizations have been surreptitiously infiltrated and we will be hearing all about it as Pluto makes his way into Aquarius.

Think of the childrens game 'Red Rover' . . .

Two teams play. Choose teams. The teams line up holding hands facing each other at a distance. Flip a coin. Heads goes first (team one). Team one decides who from the other team they want to call over, and shouts, "Red rover, red rover, send (name) on over!" The chosen player then runs toward the other team, trying to break through the clasped hands of two teammates. If they do not breakthrough, they have to join that team.

The Aquarian circle of friends is so wide that they often leaves themselves open to infiltration by having a weak link. There are huge gaps that are easily snuck through. Aquarius 'can be' like a little child (naive) and allow the wrong friends to get close. And Scripture tells us, there is always a Judas in the group. ALWAYS! Now this is NOT to get you to look at your circle of friends and figure out the Judas. We all have a hand in the role of crucifying Jesus. We are all responsible because we are all capable. Be careful dear Astrotator who you decide to point fingers at while reading this because you will also have three (3) fingers pointing back at yourself.

Now granted, some Judas's are clear to see as they have their own agenda, which is different from our own or 'the group' and then we can simply slide away and find our right and Good tribe that makes us feel empowered, accepted and Loved. But we have all lived, participated-in and felt 'the infiltration'.

As we get older, we either have a smaller circle of friends, or a bigger circle of friends, or both in different ways. I have a very tight circle of close friends, but the same time, I have a bigger circle of friends, more than I ever had, but my friends are at varying degrees. I look at friends like the electron shell.

In chemistry and atomic physics the electron shell is seen as an orbit of sorts, where the electrons orbit the atom's nucleus in layers. Like an onion. It's so cool because it's just like astronomy and astrology (two different branches of study), where the planets orbit the Sun. "When it's the Truth, it shows up everywhere!" It shows up in the micro level of chemistry and atomic physics, and on the macro level of astronomy and astrology. I Love this stuff!

So I see my wide-circle of friends in this way. For one of my besties Christine (Aquarius), we were laughing our ass one day laying in a field at a highland games festival. We Love to go to highland game festivals. I yelled out, "If your friends jump off a cliff are you going to jump off too?" And she yelled out, "YEAH!"

I have this old circle of friends, who I have been close friends with now for 23 years where we have made a committment of raising money together for childrens schools and organizations. It's what we do as a collective. This group was born out of an idea from Christine and Peg (who were the original Thelma and Louise) ten (10) years before I entered the picture. Peg (Libra), Steve (Aquarius), Julie (Libra) in our super-tight circle all passed away in 2020, none from Covid. Needless to say, there is a handful of us left. Literally, a handful.

I am sharing this with you because remember, at the start of 2020 I was stating in the Horoscopes that our socializing and friends circle would shrink significantly because Saturn was going to take off his belt and wrap it around Aquarius and pull tight. Saturn limits, restricts and shrinks. Saturn was moving into Aquarius on March 21, 2020 and would last until March 8, 2023.

As a result, our tight circle of friends shrunk, and then those of us who were left, lost a family member, not due to Covid. That means our friends of friends or family of friends who we see as our friends, but they are acquaintances were affected as well. Aquarius rules acquaintances, so you see, my circles were hit hard.

Interestingly enough, as we are now fully coming out of Saturn in Aquarius, which ends on March 8, 2023 I am developing another small tight circle of friends with whom I have known for years, from high school, Tina and Vivienne (both Sagittarius). They just rock my world, twist my brain into a pretzel, and send me out into the ethers floating away under my own power. When I'm with them . . . I listen.

Folks, I am super-hyper-aware of this Aquarian energy as I have Jupiter in Aquarius. My circle of friends is TIGHT. I mean locked-in. It's not that I do not think I could use more friends, who couldn't? I have found that real True friends are like solid marriages, meaning even when you hit the wall with them, you push through and come out the other side. There is a trust without qualification, even in the worst of times. You get through it. Then there is my friend Linnea (Pisces). One day soon we are going to meet on a trip and go crazy! And 'H' (Henrietta, a Virgo). I call her 'H' because her name is too darn long to say. 'H' literally laughs in the face of danger.

In my book, I talk about having the worst day ever and how I then opened the Bible and read a passage that 'comforted' me. It was such a huge awareness, that when I called 'H' to share it with her, I was still crying, but she knew my 'happy cry' sound, and she started laughing before I could even get a full sentence out to tell her what happened because she knew something Good was coming from the cry. That's how she is. That woman has no fear. NONE! 'H' will jump off the cliff with me too. In fact, her step would come off the ledge first and then she would pull my happy ass with her.

Friends have to be nurtured, developed and appreciated. The bond has to be tight enough so that you are not easily infiltrated, corrupted, swayed, or betrayed. We learn these things as we grow older and learn our own lessons and we find our tribe with whom we can vibe.

Those with a South Node in Aquarius, I call 'Swiss Cheese Energy' meaning they have too many holes in their energy so they are easily infiltrated, not just by people, but through fear, feelings and thoughts, which can stunt their growth. NO NO NO! Do not put it all out there South Node Aquarian's and plug up those holes! Everyone is NOT your friend! Step into the North Node Leo, which is fearless. Not that many people can get close to a lion and feed it. Ya' get me? South Node Aquarius tends to allow those 'in' who have not earned the 'right' to enter their space. Plug up the holes South Node Aquarian's!

Aquarius is one of the three (3) intellectual air signs - Aquarius (Christine), Gemini (Loretta) and Libra (Peg). When the three (3) air signs get together, they will talk about everything and solve nothing. I was the 3rd wheel to Christine and Peg. It's hard to believe Peg, Steve and Julie are gone. You . . like me, may be reminiscing of friends during such a heavily-packed New Moon in Aquarius like today's.

Then there is Cherie (Scorpio and Steve's widow) who just moved away to be closer to her children, but now the rest of us are screaming, "ROAD TRIP!" We always took bets on what time Steve and Cherie would arrive at the campsite. Camping is not the same without our passed friends.

This brings me to the Stellium in Aquarius. A Stellium is when you have four (4) or more planets in the same sign, often times a three (3) planet Stellium is acknowledged when the planets are tight enough to intensify each other in a conjunction, meaning within 10 degrees.

If you click on the New Moon Astro meme or this link you will see the Moon and the Sun in Aquarius at 01 degree 31 minutes. Then you will see Venus at 23 degrees and Saturn at 24 degrees both in Aquarius. This Stellium is not within 10 degrees of each other, but let's consider the planets involved. The Moon and the Sun are pretty darn personal. Venus is a personal planet and well over 10 degrees away from the New Moon. And let's consider the restriction, limitation and squeeze of Saturn sitting next to Venus in Aquarius. This is all a pretty darn strong influence on Aquarian energy that cannot be denied, nor should it be ignored.

We should all be stepping up to become better friends to and with our friends. Folks, you must know who your friends are and how close or far into orbit each circle of friends sits. The friends I mentioned are all my 1st tier of friends, first orbit of friends. I have other circles of friends, but I will likely not go on vacation with them, or spend the night so I don't have to drive home, or cry on their shoulder, or anything else super-personal. These gals . . yes, I would.

One might say, do not share so much, so Aquariusly with the public because your friends could easily be infiltrated to get to you. Not these friends. These friends are locked-in and locked-down. Friends who would throw me under the bus or who have thrown me under the bus . . . they are still out in orbit because you know what they say . . . "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."

Folks, during this New Moon in Aquarius, you may not feel all that Loved. Venus is after all conjunct Saturn, which means these two (2) planets are intensifying each other. Venus wants Love and affection, but is being limited by the aloofness of and squeeze of Saturn in Aquarius.

I think this is a great time to reassure those you Love that you Love them. Instead of being aloof and distant emotionally, CHOOSE to deliberately hug and squeeze. Remember, a hug limits pain and also the ability to reinforce a different more Loving feeling. Instead of not hugging . . . HUG!

When I get a half-ass hug from someone who I know Loves me, then I say, "Hug me like you Love me or don't hug me at all." I'm pretty clear about it. And I don't mind asking for what I want. If I want a tighter hug, I ask for it or pretty much put it out there to not play Love with me. HUG ME DANG IT!

I mention this because Aquarius is so aloof and distant that they are the huggers who will NOT even touch torsos and then give you a pat on the back. What the hell kind of hug is that? Step away from me and give that sh!t to someone else. I'll even go as far as saying, "Let's shake hands instead if that's the way you feel."

Oh yeah, remember Aquarius is a rebellious sign and can be a rebellion-hellion (Christine, Aquarius, LOL). I will never forget her literally turned upside down having a fit in the backseat on a trip back home to Cherokee, NC with Steve (Aquarius) and Cherie (Scorpio). Feet on the ceiling and all. LOL! Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and has the ancient ruler of Saturn. So Aquarius is as rebellious as they are conservative. Friends! You just can't beat crazy with friends.

Notice from the New Moon chart wheel that the Sun and Moon (New Moon) is sextile to Jupiter in Aries. SWEET! COME ON! The Sun trine Jupiter is an insanely wonderful trine (I have it and so does PRESIDENT Trump), so this sextile is the lesser octave of that trine.

Folks, this is such a wonderful time to get right and get appreciative of your friends. Choose your friends wisely. You should be able to get through stuff with your friends. We are going to need our friends.

And think about this . . it is likely you have learned who your friends are since Saturn moved into Aquarius back in March 2020. Now three (3) years later, your circle of friends should look different. Man oh' man, mine certainly does. In addition to losing such a large group of friends in our circle, each member of the group lost a family member. We were hit hard as a collective.

So it is likely your circle(s) of friends had a hard time, and then each friend in your circle had a hard time. Maybe through a health condition, a job loss, a financial crunch, etc. Friends and friends of friends (acquaintances) had a rough go over the past three (3) years. No one was spared.

Incidentally, friends of friends is included as 'acquaintances'. Aquarius rules acquaintances. These are people who you are not necessarily friends with, but you are friendly with them because they are connected to your friends. I HAVE LOADS of acquaintances. These are people who we know or 'slightly' know, but we don't know their 'stuff'.

So there ya' go Astrotators. Develop your friendships. That is important because coming into the next few years, we will need to know who are friends are, who are acquaintances are, and who are enemies are. You will need to know who you can call, assist, lend, borrow or barter from. Can you think of those people off the top of your head? You have not been prepping for nothing or for just yourself (I hope).

Think of your circle, pull the string, and then fill in the holes. Know who you can trust and who you can go to. I am a firm believer in 'DO NOT count on anyone'. I know, it sounds negative, but think about it. Think about it for a while. Walk around without pouting and thinking 'poor me'.

I raised my daughter not to 'count on' anyone. It's hard enough for anyone to count on yourself to stick to a diet, stop smoking, show up on time, commit, do, plan, etc., much less hold someone else to something we can't even do. PLEASE!

Folks, you never know when 'anyone' will turn to Light and leave the planet. You never know when anyone will fall, dive or take a flying leap into their sh!t. You never know when anyone will get sick or get hurt. Do not rely, instead be as reliable as you can be. Show up for yourself first and then you can show up for others.

Further, you never really know anyone until you know how they treat you, under pressure. Then again, no one really knows you either, until they know how you treat them under pressure.

This is a time of fresh starts and new beginnings. Make a pact with your 'friends', not necessarily your acquaintances. Know who is who. This will matter as we move forward and hit some very hard bumps in the road and SHTF events. You need to know who to trust and who you really do want to help or can help.

Folks, we are coming into a time, as I mentioned yesterday, when an entire collective will wake-up and realize "WTF!" and then they will panic. For the survivalists and preppers, you can remain calm and keep getting more and more organized. You are likely 6 months to 1 year ahead of everyone else. And those who are just now coming into funds or a time when you can get better prepared, you know what to do, so DO IT!

We will need our friends and the acquaintances will come in handy too. Do not burn bridges, but if you have to walk away from some who you thought were friends, then do that quietly without drama. It's okay. Transitions happen and your path has shifted. It's okay.

Again, as stated yesterday in that monster-size write-up, Mercury moves into Aquarius on February 11th and Pluto in Capricorn hits exact for the 1st of three (3) exact hits at 29 degrees on February 11th. A lot of people are going to wake-up and sober-up at the same time and say, "WTF!" It's going to be an awakening alright and a rude one at that for those who have been skippity-doo-dah-ing along never minding what is really going on in the world.

Folks, keep your friends closer and your enemies closer (so that you can keep an eye on them). After all, Jesus did. Don't tell me he did not know all along what Judas would do. Oh He knew. And He kept Judas in the circle. Take your cues from Jesus. There is nothing that we are going through, that He did not experience first. BOOM! MIC DROP!
