The NEW MOON is exact February 4th at 1:03pm PST.
To be read from the rising sign. To read from the sign of Sun’s natal placement (or from Moon’s if born at night) can offer helpful if sometimes less precise insight. Any of these options are a way to *broadly* orient the reader from the point of view of a dominant zodiacal archetype during a specific span of time. This expresses one way to use astrology: a zoomed out, slightly blurred view stopping at twelve equal marks within a full 360º rotation.
♒︎ AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
On Friday and Saturday, energized communication efforts and hectic schedules become briefly blocked or at least intensified by ongoing challenges pertaining to solitude and hidden matters. Emotional depth creates a sense of isolation on these days. On Sunday, the same olde ongoing ending-and-healing gets a rose tint, although it is still cold up there—a loveliness to loneliness over coming weeks to help you, in a staggeringly slow way over many years, to build strength for years to come. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, listen to your inner voice and to your human vehicle, consider new paths for enacting self—new ways of being whoever you are during a liminal couple of years. More communication and calendar craziness awaits next week…
♓︎ PISCES & PISCES RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Friday’s money moves are either challenged or supported by depth of elemental power. On Sunday, what’s under construction within groups of like minds will be in coming weeks wreathed in cheerful garlands. The hard work and noses to grindstones, however, will not subside. On Sunday, communication and trust in endings, healing, solitude, hidden matters are expanded and affirmed by professional actions and how you are seen. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, consider intuitively what you might want to begin to heal or begin to end. Thursday sees these new intentions boosted again by career and reputation. Handle your personal finance with care, drive your car gently, use your motivation to earn income with precision and proactive grace as energies build into next week’s peak.
♈︎ ARIES & ARIES RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
You may struggle to bring efforts to completion early in this span of days. Conversely, your actions may feel particularly empowered or intensified. Either way, the blocked feeling or a sense of potency is brought on by energies surrounding your career and reputation. By Sunday, all the ongoing, great hulking challenges in this area of life will be infused with an extra dose of magnetism. A friendly, sweet energy infuses career responsibilities, professional transformations and challenges with a stony, practical sense of beauty for much of this new month. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, after the trials of last year, you can plant new seeds to germinate over the coming months for overall hopes & dreams, and how you operate within the context of community. Listen to your silent voice. Expect keen perception and an energized mind on Thursday, and use your increasing energy as actively and constructively as you can in preparation for next week’s tidal crest.
♉︎ TAURUS & TAURUS RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Healing action or effort behind the scenes is challenged by potent philosophy or epic physical travel. And/or: attempts by others to be unhelpful are either empowered or frustrated. It may feel like an icky time but you can use this experience later. On Saturday, desire and beauty in what is shared finds radical integration with isolation or hidden matters. On Sunday, what was enchanting but possibly frenetic in debt and solitude converts to comforting steadiness in journeying and your broad view. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, listen to what your body and your silence have to say about how you will begin to lay new professional groundwork. …And continue to generate and use a fiery healing force for good into next week.
♊︎ GEMINI & GEMINI RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Community or your hopes may be frustrated by shared resources or acute transformation on Friday. Sunday marks a few weeks of possible sexual intensity and possible attraction of resources through a partner. Also on this day trust in and communication of your broad vision is expanded and affirmed by a partnership. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, energized by this positivity, make time to to set the tone in terms of how you are sallying forth. On Thursday you find yourself empowered to begin acting on these intentions straight away, as momentum could slow mid-month. Use your philosophical and exploratory gifts practically and proactively as the element of potential surprise builds into next week.
♋︎ CANCER & CANCER RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Career action is either frustrated or intensified by one-to-one relationships, with an added sense of serious feelings or pessimism, but it will pass, as it usually does. Next, a wave of gravitas and emotional depths, even more than usual. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, begin to design a new sense of how you share resources, which can include anything from money to sexual energy. Build enthusiasm for possible options in terms of how you share and relate interpersonally. Thursday suggests prescience; take care of a possible need to escape from a more-heightened-than-usual psychic field. Build strength, GTD, kick ass and proactively refine your energy for some sort of peak next week in the realm of career.
♌︎ LEO & LEO RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Efforts to share your vision or to travel may be blocked or somehow intensified by your health or your daily work routines. Your energetic essence wants to traverse and gain intimacy in between personal relationships and in between yourself and others. On Sunday, the pragmatic rock cliffs of your habits and regular work take on a sweet appeal that may feel challenged later in the month as far as sweetness and appeal in general are usually experienced. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, listen to your intuition in regards to how to formulate a path forward in your personal relationship(s). The Sun wants to start building on this immediately, and and you will find any actions expanded upon and affirmed by your radiating creativity. Make proactive, intelligent use of your social energy in preparation for possible innovation or disruption in the realm of community and possibly your own hopes & dreams.
♍︎ VIRGO & VIRGO RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Energy brought to shared resources and the field of experience which pertains to debt, death, taxes, sex—what these have in common is the energy within form and how it is shared & transmuted—is either markedly frustrated or intensified by your sense of romance, or your creativity, or possibly matters relating to children. On Sunday, the challenges you experience in terms of how to sustain your identity through use of your creative gifts take on a stone-faced loveliness that is still not without challenges for the next few weeks. Also on Sunday, communication in regards to work, health, habits, possibly pets is expanded and affirmed by something familial or related to the home. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, imagine new patterns you could take on, or old patterns with which you might like to dispense. Communication and analysis in regards to these intentions are on Thursday energized by shared resources. This infusion of power does not peak on Thursday, but continues to build into next week for a possibly more dramatic climax…
♎︎ LIBRA & LIBRA RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Relationship tension or action is blocked or made somehow more powerful by matters related to family or the home. On Saturday, your calendar, communication or the hive mind sings a warm, crackling, pleasant tone with frenetic relationship energy. On Sunday, things begin to stabilize as a practical muse permeates the home and possibly your family life in general. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, start afresh with your creativity and the quest to express your innovative ideas. Feel clear and present with your creative gifts in order to manage possible volatility, for better or for worse, in your relationships next week.
♏︎ SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Lots and lots of hard work may feel suddenly blocked or marked with sudden depth from communication needs, travel or your calendar on Friday. That same realm of schedules and interactions beginning Sunday takes on an overall Earthen sweetness for a few weeks. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, set intentions for home and family life. How can your sense of positivity and innovation affect your private and internal life? On Thursday, communication in this field of experience is energized by your daily routines to result in keen perception to assist burgeoning domestic newness and help to direct the force proactively into next week.
♐︎ SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Your creative self expression and/or sense of romance has been a wild blowtorch in past weeks, and this continues with added challenge and intense depth on Friday and Saturday. on Sunday your money and your physical resources take on a flowery magnetism, but these are hardy little blossoms that grow at high altitudes. On Thursday, your ability to communicate articulately and to schedule with precision goes on brief even-fuller-blast thanks to your unstoppable and inspired resourcefulness. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, listen more deeply, not with your mind’s ear, but with your instinctual ear—intuition—to discover how you might over the coming months evolve your communication style. What does that even mean? You and your human vehicle will infuse these questions and new designs with expansion and affirmation on Thursday. Continue to make active and constructive use of your creativity, as next week could bring excitement and abrupt shifts in tone.
♑︎ CAPRCORN & CAPRCORN RISING: Feb 01 – Feb 07
Aggressive proactivity in the home, in family life and in regards to your inner world could be blocked or intensified by your need to build yourself as an individual and a need to be temporarily ambivalent towards whatever home means. Also on Friday and Saturday your mood may become serious and lacking in optimism. You may be hard on yourself but you know that is part of the work. This week you will live in between worlds in terms of how you create money and materials. NEW MOON: On the 3rd and 4th, allow vital energy to concentrate in the area of personal finance in order to begin moving forward in a brand new way over the coming months. Frenetic energy in the home and inner life gathers into next week.
