New Moon Feb. 13 2010 exactly conjunct my Mars

[misskitty]

The New Moon happening at 25' Aqua on Feb 13th will be in exact conjunction to my natal Mars. My natal Mars is important because my chart ruler, the Sun, is in Aries. It also forms hard aspects to my Venus and is located on the 7/8th house cusp. I think this will be one of the more significant New Moons for me, at least I hope. I could sure use some stirring up in my 7/8th house. :p If anything, I hope that the New Moon's subsequent conjunction with Neptune and Chiron (which have pummeled my poor Mars the past year) will help heal some wounds.

[starlink]

Oh dear, I had not looked at that. So now I have a New Moon, + Neptune+ Chiron squaring my Ascendant. Nice one..... Well, lets just wait and see. I am expecting some unpleasant things to happen with my ex husband. (some fortune teller told my daughter that it was good she spend Christmas with her father, as if it would be the last time). He has not been healthy these last 10 years and has lived with an imaginary sword of Damocles above his head, notwithstanding the fact that he exercises daily to keep fit, so who knows, maybe something will happen to him. Pluto , when reaching 5° Capricorn end of this month, will inconjunct exactly his natal Pluto, ruler of this Ascendant,and Uranus, ruler of his 3rd, forming a Yod.
He has practically the same degree Asc. as I have so Chiron, Neptune and the New Moon will all square that also.

Neptune and Chiron already left Mars. But this new moon brings back their influence again - possibly ill influence. As you judged, it is likely to stir 8th house affair, but it is likely to hurt again - I don't expect any +Ve out of this.

I feel sorry about this lunation. I am also going to be hurt due to this - just wishing it passes with minimum impact - despite I have supporting aspect.

You too have support from Uranus, but for this case, it seems to be out of ORB. Similarly Venus also is not in ORB. So it will be purely Mars effect. You might remember what was effect of new moon 19 years ago and effect of Neptune/Chiron going for last one year. It would be blend of that.

Good luck.

Neptune and Chiron already left Mars.

No no, I meant a conjunct with my natal Mars. Neptune is in an exact conj with my natal Mars right now.

I would be a bit apprehensive if this were a Full Moon, but New Moons are usually about fresh starts, and being so close to Chiron, fresh healing. Healing is not without suffering and pain, however, and maybe the things we learn during this time will hurt but ultimately allow us to heal and move on. That is my hope, anyway.

Starlink, I would be more inclined to think something with your ex might be indicated if Saturn is involved. At least that is what a personal astrologer once told me... Saturn can indicate the men in a woman's life. Have you checked your progressed too?

[gemini59]

I have been watching this too as the sun will aspect and trigger the stellium prominent in my solar return for the year. The stellium includes the moon, chiron, jupiter and neptune thus this should be the most visible or public events of the year. Hmmm

[misskitty]

The effect in our lives also depend on what type of aspect we are seeing in our chart. I've read that with Moon events (New, Eclipse, etc) the aspect should be a hard aspect within 3 degrees in order to really feel any effects, and that conjunctions will have the most pronounced effect, followed by squares, trines last. I don't believe sextiles are even considered.

[dhundhun]

No no, I meant a conjunct with my natal Mars. Neptune is in an exact conj with my natal Mars right now.

I see, Neptune crossed Mars and approx 0.30 degree ahead, supposed to be out of ORB for transits.

[misskitty]

The professional astrolger that analyzed my chart said the effects will last until 2011. Everything I've read says this, and additionally that effects last longer for major transits:

A approaching transit is usually determined to be in effect at 2 degrees. This same orb of 2 degrees is usually in effect while the transit is separating. Although some astrologers firmly believe in a 3 degree orb.
http://www.planetaryvisions.net/transit%20readings.html

In any case, I can vouch that the transit still seems to be in full effect, although not as severe as it was this time last year.

[R4VEN]

misskitty, I would expect that new Moon in Aqua on 13/2 to provide quite a lot of energy to your Mars, which has perhaps been struggling a bit under the effects of that conjunction by Chiron-Neptune. The Chiron-Neptune conjunction has been `opening up' that which has been hidden, closed or even suppressed. Boundaries have been dissolved, and truths have been exposed. (This sounds a trifle biblical, but I'm sure you get my drift!!)

I have had all the new and full moons since that doozy in Cancer on NYE (New Years Day here) aspect something or other on my natal chart. The coming New Moon opposes my natal Leo Saturn with just over a degree of orb. Over the past few months Chiron & Neptune have been patting my Saturn (in the 8th) - a bit like patting a wild cat - convincing it that it is fine to come out now, and bad things won't happen if it does. The last full moon was closely conjunct my natal Sun, so there seems to be a very `deliberate' process going on here.

And what affects one of us affects us all.

[gemini59]

Well lets keep posted on this one. It does affect a lot of my natal planets with in a three degree window and could be seen as a trigger to the Neptune Chiron conjunction globally. Maybe the Health care initiative! Yea!
It will impact my natal Chiron 27'35 Aquarius (12), Jupiter Scorpio (8th) 24'01 Sun Gemini (3rd) 22'28 and moon Virgo (6th) 22'58
I am glad you mentioned the distance: A approaching transit is usually determined to be in effect at 2 degrees. This same orb of 2 degrees is usually in effect while the transit is separating. Although some astrologers firmly believe in a 3 degree orb.This does seem to be consistent with what I have observed in my own chart.

New moons are usually good indicators..beginnings, planting a seed etc.

[gemini59]

Kitty, the new moon on your mars in the 8th, ruler of your 10th...hmmm
has the Neptune there drained your energy?
This should give you a new beginning...maybe job? maybe resources? maybe partners income, surgery? psychotherapy? ...maybe just new energy period.
Keep us posted. what did your astrologer say ?

[misskitty]

To R4VEN and gemini59: Thanks so much for your responses! Yes, Yes, and YES.... I cannot overemphasize how much having transiting Neptune parked right on my natal Mars has drained my energy. It has been going on for about a year. I am working through grad school, and all I can say is that my "mojo" has disappeared, and things that came easily to me before are things I've had to work quite hard for right now. Especially with concentration, that has been awful. To add to that, I have had several illnesses in this transit-- I was diagnosed with toxic mold syndrome (an energy-drainer as well as respiratory illness) and pneumonia.

Cassandra, the reading was this past summer, so I guess the astrolger maybe did not have the New Moon eclipse on his radar yet? We didn't discuss that aspect. What he did say was that I have to be extremely careful in relationships with men, as I am very suceptible to deception and idealizing the wrong type of man. The Neptune transit in context to my chart means that I do not see relationship and sex clearly right now, and that is true... I have been deceived several times during this transit by men who were up to no good. I've learned some excellent lessons.

Anyway, thank you both for you input. I hav eno guesses what the actual manifestation of this event will be for me, but I will certainly keep everyone posted. My situation in the relationship/sex area of my life right now is that I am very much single and there is no one on my 'radar screen' right now as a potential mate, but that may be because I have voluntarily removed myself from the dating scene the last 6 months. I thought it was important to do that because I wasn't picking the right men for myself. Maybe the New Moon will mean a return to the dating scene? The connection to the 10th could also mean a renewed effort towards the progress of my Thesis.

I hope this event bodes well for all of us. Would love to hear from you guys after the 13th! :)

[barbh]

Well, this New Moon is smack dab in my 7th house, and it is opposing the ruler of my 7th, Uranus, in the 1st.
So, a new beginning in a relationship I am hoping.

Opposing Uranus sounds like a separation really, but I'm not with anyone. No one to separate from.

It could mean meeting someone, but this person does not live here, so there could be frequent separations. Or, maybe he's a pilot or something. Or, it could be a relationship that triggers my need for independence and boundaries, or even more likely, makes me realize that I've been soooo Uranian in my life, that I want something more committed and stable. It is a challenge to my Uranus after all.

Its funny, because I've been doing my tarot cards lately with the amazing Lenormand deck, and I kept getting love, and the ship card with it. In this deck that refers to someone who does not live here, or there are frequent separations. Interesting.

Will keep you posted!

Well, Miss Kitty, I spoke too soon. As you might have read, I resigned as moderator. I want to continue doing just astrology. Things came to a climax today and well, I think the New Moon is working already, so we should take an orb of at least 3°!

[dhundhun]

In any case, I can vouch that the transit still seems to be in full effect, although not as severe as it was this time last year.

Astrologers do have own view of ORB. For trans-Saturnians I use 60 seconds applying and 15-30 seconds separating.

I allow loose ORBs for triggers, such as right now it is New Moon.

Anyway whether 15-30 seconds or 120 seconds or 180 seconds; for New Moon, the analysis is not changing.

Good Luck

I keep forgetting that the Chiron-Neptune thingy is having a global effect, whether we like it or not!!

And health care in the US. I get all angry that the so-called wealthiest country in the world allows its citizens to die of treatable conditions, while the health insurance companies get fat and wealthy!!! We Australians can be very lazy/apathetic when it comes to fighting for our rights, but I'd like to think that we'd all take to the streets en masse were our (largely) free health care to be taken from us.

And it's also good to be reminded that New Moons are actually good indicators. Everything has felt so hard for so long.

I'm happy for you starlink. I feel that the forum needs your presence as an astrologer, rather than as a moderator. Perhaps someone can create a website where moderators are hired out to forums - like this one - requiring tight moderating. (That's not a serious suggestion, BTW - just trying to lighten things a bit.)

I am finding these full and new moons to be very powerful these days. I have pretty much always `felt' them from around 2-3 days from exacitude, but that may be just my sensitivity to the moon.

[misskitty]

I imagine it is a huge weight lifted off of your shoulders starlink. Unfortuantely there are people here who make moderating extremely difficult, so my hats off to you for being one of the best and always keeping your cool in spite of what was hurled your way.

New Moon squaring your Asc... it makes a lot of sense that it triggered an event such as you leaving your job as moderator. It was a square, so the event brought about by the New Moon was unpleasant, but the change will be more peace to you. It is another example that, yes, the New Moon can trigger unpleasant events but those events ultimately happen for our greater good. Good for you starlink! :)

The New Moon happening at 25' Aqua on Feb 13th will be in exact conjunction to my natal Mars. My natal Mars is important because my chart ruler, the Sun, is in Aries. It also forms hard aspects to my Venus and is located on the 7/8th house cusp.

I also have this new moon on the 7/8th cusp. at the official new moon time (2.40am GMT 14th feb) it is acutually still in my 7th house but I am thinking that already the events are playing out in my 8th...

I managed today to secure a load of training and the possibility to make money all on someone elses account without me putting up a penny. If that isn't 8th house new moon energy then I don't know what is :smile:

is it reasonable to be thinking of this at 8th house energy even though the actual new moon was in the 7th house?

infact looking at the rest of the planets - surely having venus and jupiter in the 8th at the moment must be a really good indicator of what has just been offered as well. It really is a staggerly atrologically well timed and out of the blue piece of good fortune. The universe must be happy with me at the moment :-)

[kbell]

I forgot about the new moon until I read this thread. I took a look at my transits and wow Aquarius is pretty packed. That's on my Natal 3rd house cusp.

The new moon conjuncts the AC of a composite between me and someone in my life and venus tightly conjuncts our mars. I wonder if something new is going to happen there. Venus is squaring my AC though :( So maybe not.

[Neptune Rising]

Oh I love the Lenormand deck! I remember a new moon that fell in my 7th house last summer, it was square my Uranus. I suddenly started a fling with a guy, it was very enlivening and enlightening, and finished just as suddenly as it started. I read somewhere that lunation can indicate meeting a significant male.


This new moon is conjunct my natal Lilith, midpoint of natal Sun and Juno. I love my freedom in relationships and am now exercising this freedom with two guys who have been after me! I just feel a real need for freedom and independance at this time. :biggrin:

[misskitty]

Good for you astrowarrior! 8th house new moon activity for sure! :)

Well, no real movement for me, although I have indications that there are some 'behind the scenes' activity going on that may or may not relate to the New Moon. I have had a bit more energy for my studies this week. Even made some headway on my thesis.

[astrowarrior]

Good for you astrowarrior!

... Even made some headway on my thesis.

cheers kitty, it really is working out great. Whats your thesis on?

[Claire19]

Once again no natal connection with Moon and Mars. Wont be much effect.
May have to watch aggressive actions and emotions perhaps.

[kbell]

Nothing happened on my end. Ah well :)

[DKAngel]

The New Moon at 25 Aqu occurred exactly on my Aqua man's Sun and conjunct my Progressed Saturn

We happen to be at a crucial point where we either break apart or he commits, which would mean moving me in with him as part of an engagement (and also in line with the culture it would mean setting a wedding date).

For the moment I am not pleased about things and it is me that wants to walk away, not him (he thought I would always be around but now, this week, realizes I will not be unless he intervenes). It will be interesting to see what he does.

Yes, Neptune and Chiron on his Sun are also bringing significant changes as ego is dissolved, confusion and self-deception lurk, and childhood wounding comes up for either repetitive wounding or new healing.....

And of course this New Moon gliding past Tr Neptune, Tr Chiron and Pr Saturn affects me in a big way!

I could sure use some stirring up in my 7/8th house. :p If anything, I hope that the New Moon's subsequent conjunction with Neptune and Chiron (which have pummeled my poor Mars the past year) will help heal some wounds.

[misskitty]

Whats your thesis on?
It is on historic preservation and city planning.

DKAngel, thanks for sharing your story. Indeed, all the updates from everyone helps. Strange how this New Moon really didn't pack much of a punch.

[DKAngel]

You are welcome. We all benefit when explain the human story behind the astrological aspects, progressions and transits in our individual lives.

It will be important to note the Full Moon at 10 Virgo on Feb 28 (some decisions will be made or will have been made about whatever arose at the New Moon), the New Moon at 25 Pisces on March 15 (the "lunation" or complete lunar cycle from New Moon to New Moon).

Also interesting to note will be the Full Moon at 3 Aquarius on July 26 and the New Moon at 17 Leo on August 10. These summer lunar aspects will bring up some aspect of the same issues which were present on Feb 13/14 and you can track the journey over the six-month period.

It is on historic preservation and city planning.

Ive been reading the post here and waiting to see what happens..
someone tell me if this new moon last a month or a year?

My sun is exactly 25 deg aquarius on the 4/5 H
5th H starts at 28 aqu most romantic things that happen to me a plannet in this area is allways present, haveing aquarian venus may also play a part in this.

My ex has 24 deg aquarius venus in the 8th H
He has a grand trine with gemini saturn 28 deg 12 H and uranus in 26 libra 4H .. so he didnt need my sun to complete that grand trine but it was allways a factor with us synastry wise.

since my b/day 14 of feb i got sick with some summer flue, ate everything in sight and felt low in energy and had no desire to go out side.
before that the last month i had lost 9 kilos and was walking everyday, i think i had some hope i would hear from him.

since the new moon i have not been the best that i was leading up to it, but i have gotten into study astrology more and going over old charts ive done and discovered more links to them.
my asc is 20 sco and opp 19 jupiter in the 7th.. do you think the new moon is affecting my asc and 7th?

[kbell]

This new moon did bring something new. My ex and new guy have one degree between same asc so My composite asc with new guy is also conjunct moon. It's been awesome

That's true. There is no point jumping to conclusions so early - is acted, it did not act, it was good, it was bad.

Usually its influence should be felt starting Feb 25 - 28. If anything felt before that, it is effect of transit of Sun or transit of Moon, and not the effect of New Moon.
