LEO/LEO RISING Excerpt: "Around the New Moon in Aquarius, you may find your life focus shifting toward attaining greater balance and harmony in your relationships, or perhaps beginning a new phase of your life. The strangeness comes in that Aquarius..." ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍ ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓ New Moon Message & Intention for Members Below: art: Peter Mohrbacher Around the New Moon in Aquarius, you may find your life focus shifting toward attaining greater balance and harmony in your relationships, or perhaps beginning a new phase of your life. The strangeness comes in that Aquarius rules over divorce and separation, where everyone who is not you is perceived in more or less equitable terms because, let's face it, nobody can be more special than you, and anyone less special is not worthy of your attention. In one sense, this lunation will produce moments of liberating and stimulating awareness, where your determination to be free of one-sided relationships becomes evident and, somehow, sows the seeds of manifestation of your outright autonomy. Decisions you make now about the fate of your most significant relationships can propel you into a quest for greater independence from others. The potential of any current or future partnership will test the extent to which your creative freedom will be codified, not merely by the New Moon but by another conjunction in Aquarius. A new Venus/Saturn cycle, also commencing in Aquarius, shows where you feel the need to make concessions to others in order to get what you want. You may feel supremely aggrieved, resentful and weighed upon if you constantly feel that you have to adjust your behaviour to the demands of others to maintain good relations. In seeking an unconditional closeness with others, this fear of being taken advantage of could lead to frustrations and hindrances, whether conscious or not. Since the Aquarius lunation follows Capricorn, it may bring about a tendency for you to have a detached and impersonal approach to relationships. While this detachment may give you the freedom to be accessible to many people, it may also cause you to detach from those who no longer align with your personal beliefs and goals. Additionally, due to its opposite polarity, you may find yourself placed at the centre of everything that may affect you, with an insatiable urge to know the whereabouts and motivations of others without any logical reasoning. This can lead to a burdensome sense of responsibility over their lives since the more others depend on you, the less independent and creative you become. Take some time out to examine how much others are involved in your creative process. Remember, Pluto will gradually shift out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, and if it is something you need more of, it is less dependence on others to be uniquely you. You may find that your partners appear moodily unstable, sullen and withdrawn simply because of your intense inner need to reflect your shadow in people who are extremely diverse and progressively on the move. Pluto's activation here sees you experiencing power struggles, subtle manipulation, and symbiotic psychological dependency in your relationships. Any compulsive urges towards psychic enmeshments with another person can hinder your chances of reaching a true relationship of equals. Unless you are whole within yourself, Pluto on the New Moon may bring up old control issues and soul-asphyxiating patterns that must be addressed and worked through to the point of annihilation before you can feel any equilibrium around others. Hence, in your need for greater independence, keep an eye out for themes of exploitation, conditional love, and emotional control in your relationships, old and new. A lesson to be learned during this time is to strive for equal empowerment in partnership and to step off the karmic wheel of old relationship paradigms (such as codependency or traditional roles) and into the unknown. When you are reluctant to let go of past experiences and have a compulsive need to control relationships, you must strive for equal empowerment in partnership. When Pluto is expressed positively, it can help transform your relationships into a place of incredible growth, fostering a wholesome fusion of souls into unconditional trust and intimacy. NEW MOON INTENTION: I strive for balance and harmony in my relationships and prioritize my autonomy and independence. I reflect on my dependence on others in my creative process and strive for less dependency. I am aware of and avoid themes of exploitation, conditional love, and emotional control in my relationships. I strive for equal empowerment in all my partnerships and let go of outworn power dynamics and compulsive need to control others. I foster healthy and unconditional intimacy in all my relationships and focus on inner growth and self-empowerment. I am mindful of power struggles and manipulation in my relationships and actively work to avoid them. I address and work through any old control issues in my relationships to reach a state of equilibrium. I work on developing a cooperative atmosphere of creative sharing with friends, associates and fellow workers. I adjust to every situation with mindfulness and avoid being stubborn and unyielding. I examine my early parental relationships for any determining sign of toxic, attention-seeking or domineering behaviour and work to transcend them.
