This Aquarius New Moon, partial solar eclipse, is energizing all of us to change our thinking and to concentrate our imagination on what we want the world to be. Aquarius is inspired visionary thinking, with the ability to create a new future, first in our minds and then in our actions. These moment-by-moment choices of how we want to direct our focus, are choices we can make as we pay attention to our thoughts and become aware of our energetic frequency. We are all aware of what it takes to keep our frequency high. Keep distractions, from this topsy-turvy world we live in, to a minimum. The Aquarius eclipse pulls us into greater awareness of how we’re using our minds so we can be more effective.

A solar eclipse, especially when connected with the South Node, speaks to letting go of what no longer serves to make room for the new ways that serve you better. And this New Moon’s square to Jupiter in Scorpio, helps create openings to let go so you can grow. This is a very transformational time where we have support for digging deep to get to the root of our blocks and entrenched patterns. Whatever we resist is where flashes of awareness and enlightenment can break us free.

Aquarius is the the last of the air signs which is about thinking and our thought processes. Aquarius has the rational ability to rise above present circumstances, see the bigger picture, and from that higher perspective envision futuristic and radically creative new possibilities. Aquarius represents the mental blueprint or template for physical manifestation, and the power of our higher minds to change the nature of reality.

On a personal level this is the perfect time to go within and become aware of where you are stuck or blocked, and envision what your new direction looks like. On a global level, it is well to remember that our combined and steadfast vision of a compassionate and caring world is planting the seeds of our future reality.

PLAN YOUR OWN NEW MOON CEREMONY. Give yourself some quiet time in meditation to see where you need to seed new ways of becoming. List these areas within your life you want to change. What areas do you want to break free from the norm and become more productive and discerning? The NEW MOON is the time to manifest the personal attributes you want to cultivate as well as the tangible things you want to bring to you. Possible phrasing: I now manifest ____ into my life. I am now _______ . Remember, think, envision and feel with as much emotion as possible, as though you already have what you want. Thoughts are things and the brain manifests exactly what you show it in the form of thoughts, visuals and emotions. The Buddha said, and I am paraphrasing, “We are the sum total of our thoughts up to today. ” If we want to be different then we must change our thoughts. “If you always do what you’ve always done then you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” CONSCIOUS CHANGE is the key.
