The Aquarian Energy of this New Moon is your leap off the precipice in the co-creation of ‘The Year of New Earth Beginnings- 2020’.   As Jupiter & Saturn come together in Aquarius in December 2020 for the Great Conjunction, this New Moon will have you step out of the box/framework of life as we have known it, as you become a reLOVEutionary agent of change toward a world more beautiful.

PLUS… this New Moon marks the beginning of Chinese New Year – Yang Metal Rat.  A year of crafty leadership & visionary change.  A shifting of our awareness of the ‘preciousness’ of our Earth, and physical warrior actions to resourcefully forge change.

New Moon in Aquarius Energy

New Moons are all about setting intentions for the forthcoming cycle… and our first New Moon for the year, our New Moon in Aquarius will certainly make big waves that will be felt until the end of 2020.

AQUARIUS is an Air sign and is ruled by Uranus… Aquarius loves to Dream & Think Big, envisions ‘out-there’ solutions to life’s problems and loves to reach far & wide with her juicy-big humanitarian heart.

During a NEW MOON, the side of the moon that remains invisible to us here on Earth is being illuminated by the Sun.  Thus our own ‘invisible’ side, our inner feelings, emotions and desires are also being illuminated during a new moon.  During this illumination, we are given a window of opportunity to start a fresh, let go of the energy of the previous cycle and set our intentions, dreams & inner-most desires into conscious action.

With our New Moon in Aquarius square Uranus… this uncomfortable aspect to our New Moon may induce abrupt changes in our lives… essentially no stone will go unturned this year !    During this emotionally charged New Moon, you may find yourself delving into deep into your emotions as you reflect on the meaning of you life…. and asking yourself questions the big questions such as:  

Am I living my best life ?   
Am I living someone else’s life ?
Am I on the right path ?
Am I really making a difference in the world ?
Am I doing enough to be a beacon of change during this time of global crisis ?

Uranus embodies the energy of rebellion, freedom, the unconventional, technological advancement and visionary humanitarian achievements. I consider Uranus to be the wildcard of the pack, unpredictable, original and out of the box. Uranus can spark revolutions as it has its gaze on more humanitarian, freedom loving and unconventional pursuits. Oh Uranus, bring it on !!!

Uranus is also associated with wild weather (and how crazy has our weather been here in Australia), storms, electricity… and I feel Uranus as sparking lightning bolt of inspiration, psychic phenomenon, miracles and ANYTHING out of the realms of possibility (ie beliefs)… think visionary, high-tech, revolutionary.

So as Uranus makes this jarring square aspect to Aquarius this New Moon, these big questions may have you feeling emotionally charged.   This is a GREAT THING to happen, to fully surrender to the FEELING of this New Moon… and the insights she is gifting us about the year ahead.

Aquarius seeks connection, collective vision, collaboration & Uranus is vying to breakfree…. but ultimately Aquarius/Uranus are seeking the same things just from different perspectives… an opening of the Heart-Mind!   Opening to new ways, original ideas, ground-breaking discoveries that not only honour the diversity within our unity but also transform life on Earth as we know it.  

How to make the most of this AMAZING New Moon ?  Feeling is the key.  Whilst it maybe uncomfortable with Uranus shaking things up, feeling is essential to discover & explore the freedom that awaits you.   Allowing yourself to feel will gift you insight into opportunities that you may have been avoiding, or perspectives you have not considered… and will open the door to transformation discoveries about your life in the world this New Moon.

The Aquarian Energy of this New Moon is your leap off the precipice in the co-creation of ‘The Year of New Earth Beginnings- 2020’.   As Jupiter & Saturn come together in Aquarius in December 2020 for the Great Conjunction, this New Moon will have you step out of the box/framework of life as we have known it, as you become a reLOVEutionary agent of change toward a world more beautiful.

Chinese New Year – Year of the Yang Metal Rat

Chinese New Year falls on the second New Moon after the December Winter/Summer Solstice, hence our Aquarius New Moon marks the first day of the Chinese New Year – Year of the Yang Metal Rat. 

There are 12 astrological signs in the Chinese Zodiac, and Rat represents the first sign.  In addition, the Chinese Zodiac is influenced by two other cycles – 1. Yin & Yang cycles and 2. The Five Elements.  And our 2020 Chinese New Year represents Yang Metal Rat

Energy of the Rat.  I know what you maybe thinking, aren’t rats vermon, yuck !   But in the East, Rats are revered.. and it is the energy, or spirit medicine of the Rat that comes into play.  Rats are resourceful, cleaver, crafty, open-minded, cunning… and during times of crisis or scarcity they are amazing survivors.

Rats can be creative, dynamic in their energy and passionate about their goals.  Rats like to lead and forge out new paths.

Energy of Metal. Metal lies within the Earth, and relates to previous metals (eg Silver & Gold), as well as crystals & minerals.  We experience Metal within our bodies as minerals & trace minerals that are essential for our health & wellbeing.  And we consume Metal from the foods we eat, as well as the water we drink.  Energetically, metal represents the hidden treasures of our Soulful natures.

During a Metal year, we are drawn into the ‘richness’ of our HeartnSouls, and yearn to live with courage, gratitude, generosity & grace.   It is also a time of letting go of our grief and embracing forgiveness of ourselves (& others).  Moving beyond blame/judgement.  Experiencing the preciousness of life itself.

Energy of Yang.  Yang is expansive, whilst Yin contracts.  Yang represents the Masculine.  The Exhale.  Logic, rational thinking, physical strength, warrior, giving, resilience, action & growth.

2020 YANG METAL RAT – is the year of crafty leadership & visionary change.  A shifting of our awareness of the ‘preciousness’ of our Earth, physical warrior actions to resourcefully forge change.  A bigger picture can be seen here when read in conjunction with 2020 being a Universal 4 Year in Numerology AND the profoundly transformational 2020 Astrological alignments.  Meaning our Yang Metal Rat year is another indicator of the ‘old ways’ breaking down and an uprising a deeper, precious & authentic truth.   Rat is energetic & ambitious, and wouldn’t have it any other way!

Rat reminds us this year to be grateful our inner-resources, our own unique precious gifts AND choose to step-up and share these unique gifts with the world.  Yang Metal reminds us there is NO PLAYING SMALL, you/your gifts are here for a reason, and Rat calls you to resourcefully charge forward and carve out a new place for yourself, a new structure, a new precious Earth.
