Hello Good Humans and Sentient Beings!
The New Moon occurs at 23° Leo on Wednesday August 16, 2023 at 5:38am in New York, USA. It is a Micro New Moon because of its long distance from the Earth. A new moon happens when both the Sun and Moon are zero degrees away from each other occupying the same degree of a sign. New moons are about initiation, beginnings and the new cycle of the moon. It is the time to start projects and plan your trajectory towards your goal. Plant now the seeds of future successes. New moons are more emotionally balanced than full moons and last for the two weeks preceding the full moon. The aspect is a direct square to unpredictable Uranus. This is like Mercury retrograde but a bit stronger. Uranus rules technology, electricity, dynamic change, invention and alternative methods as well as rebellion. This will be played out publicly and politically and its news may be shocking. On a personal scale this can bring upsets and changes that have you rethink your plans. Technological glitches and device malfunctions may be upsetting at first but will lead you to solutions. This is not a good time to buy or upgrade your electronics unless you absolutely have to. Ask questions about returns and maybe buy a protection plan. Now let’s address the rebellious side of Uranus. Freedom and liberation from outmoded restrictions, laws and regulations and oppressors is what Uranus has to offer. However either side can perceive this as what is needed for their cause. Here’s the pot calling the kettle black. If you are impatient and inflexible by nature this can be a very frustrating time. Here’s a good way to see such situations. When things seem like they are falling apart, they are actually falling into place. Chant, “Everything is falling into place.” Another aspect occurring is a harmonious trine between independent Uranus and determined Mars. This aspect can bring in a healthy determination to resolve challenges by having you roll up your sleeves and work on your alternatives. What you come up with could be better than the original plan. Just step back, remain calm, confident and flexible. The Universe provides in bountiful plenty. We just need to be open to adjustment and reception.
