Tuesday, FEBRUARY 17

A New Moon/Solar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Aquarius today at 7:01 AM EST. This eclipse is the first in a Leo-Aquarius set that runs until January 2028.

In the sign of Aquarius, today’s eclipse is about friendship, fellowship, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group. It might challenge these matters and present opportunities for new beginnings. Long-term changes are in the works!

Circumstances nudge or encourage us to see where we haven’t been true to our authentic selves. It’s a powerful time to re-evaluate our happiness goals and alliances.

This New Moon clashes with Uranus, bringing rebellious, impulsive, abrupt, and innovative energy to the mix.

We may go against our best interests by rushing things or disconnecting with our hearts to the point that we are rebelling or reacting instead of doing what we truly want to do.

This eclipse occurs close to the iconic Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries, effectively magnifying its energies. With this transit, our sense of security is dissolving so that it can be rebuilt. New truths or realities are revealing themselves. Due to this powerful transformation, we can be more susceptible to stress.

While there can be some roadblocks to manage, largely related to responsibilities to others or to our spiritual or mental health, we’re determined to start fresh. We can be managing skepticism, frustrations with inconsistencies, and difficulties trusting what to believe as we reanimate our vision and sense of hope. Erratic sources of income or changing values can be part of the challenge now.

It’s also important to remember that an eclipse obscures an area of our lives while magnifying another, which is useful as long as we keep this in mind. As such, our view is skewed and exaggerated. In other words, we’re not seeing the whole picture, and we should therefore proceed with caution.

Also today, Venus aligns with the North Node, and we may connect with others who help move us closer to our objectives. We are more agreeable, cooperative, and concerned with harmonizing. Making fortunate connections is likely.

The Moon is void today from 7:02 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to the Sun), until the Moon enters Pisces at 9:10 AM EST.
