I thought I’d give you all a helpful mini-ritual to celebrate this new Lunar Phase:

The New Moon in Aquarius created a Solar Eclipse on Sunday, January 25th, 2009 at 11:59 pm (PST). The eclipse occurred at 6º Aquarius, a quite favorable degree, sub-ruled by Neptune. It’s a good thing the degree itself is so positive, as having a Solar Eclipse happen so close to President Obama’s inauguration has made me a bit nervous.

I’ve always found that solar eclipses really do tend to portend serious challenges, in whichever astrological house they occur (and even as I write this, I just heard that a volcano in Alaska has just become active again!)

New Moon Info: The chart of the New Moon in Aquarius occurred when the Ascendant was at 0º Scorpio, promising that the ensuing Solar Eclipse will have very intense ramifications for those with Scorpio rising — that means President Obama, amongst others.

As the great astrologers of old have stated, that “the stars cast their shadows” before major events. Some of the craziness that has been grabbing the headlines as of late, consist of senseless slayings, such as the gang kids in Miami who were gunned down by an AK-47; as well as a relative replay where a young Asian student from Virginia Tech brutally killed a female student with a knife. No doubt, we’ll continue to hear startling stories such as this for the next six months.

About Aquarius: Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, which makes it a highly-volatile sign — for good or bad. Sudden outbursts of rage and joy alternate, making for quite a wild ride.

Ordinarily, a Solar Eclipse by itself is intense enough, but right now the astrological energies are really unstable — what with Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn, and Saturn retrograde in Virgo making unsettling aspects to Uranus in Pisces, it’s no wonder that everyone seems to be whirling down into a maelstrom of madness.

If you want to find out how this most recent Solar Eclipse is going to affect you, it might be time to call me to get a Psychic Reading to prepare yourself for the uncertain times ahead.

Mini-Healing Ritual: In the meantime, light a pale blue candle, and take a Lavendar bath and find some time to meditate on balancing your emotions. It’s going to be one of those days — for the next 365 days in a row.

Well, we did it. We finally elected a man who cares about our country, and wants to bring it back to the respected nationa it once was. I’ll be posting the Astrological info about Barack, as well as the requisite charts, aspects, numerology and more!

In the meantime, let me bask in the glow of being the only Psychic who accurately predicted Obama’s mandate win, on record — before he actually won! I’m very excited for the coming years, with Barack Obama at the helm. May he accomplish his true will by guiding all Americans to a brighter future.

The New Moon in Capricorn at 6º08″ Degrees will happen early this morning at 1:22 am, PST (4:22 pm, EST).

The Meaning of The New Moon: The New Moon is the beginning of the Waxing (growing) phase of the moon. This phase is best for starting projects, and attracting energy toward manifesting your desires for the next 14 days — that is, until the next Full Moon phase, which represents the next cycle of completion. (Learn more about the The Voxx Magickal Forum and check out the folder for New Moon Rituals.

The New Moon in Capricorn is one of the best for setting goals, initiating projects, and making a serious commitment toward manifesting your long-range plans.

Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, and both sign and planet are associated with the ideas of restriction, and discipline — both necessary in order to accomplish the greater things in life.

Adding additional force, the planet Mars also enters Capricorn today at 11:30 am PST (2:30 am EST), Mars lending a kick-ass energy which will enable us to actually fulfill our New Year’s resolutions! While Capricorn is the starting point for this new lunar phase, the energy will build, adding a positive sense of forward movement to all you attempt.

Procrastinate tomorrow! (lol) Right now, it’s time to get yourself in gear and start moving forward for once. Just because this energy is so powerful and positive, there’s a likelihood that you’ll expect results quickly — but, don’t get exasperated when this doesn’t happen. Just because you’re finally taking your life seriously doesn’t mean that everything can be magickally sorted out overnight. Have patience. That’s the ultimate Capricornian phrase. Chill out for heaven’s sake!

Planetary Aspects: Currently, there’s a powerful group of Planets in Capricorn — with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto ALL in this hard-working, focused sign.

Other Planetary Aspects: The Sun and Moon will conjunct Mars and Pluto in Capricorn at the time of the New Moon, which will pack a powerful punch to this new lunar phase. Along with challenging aspects to Venus and Neptune, we need to be aware that we may not be viewing reality clearly at the present time. Despite it all, this is a great time to to make serious plans for the future, as a quick reaping of rewards can start happening as soon as 4 weeks from now, at the time of the next Full Moon!

Global Effects of the New Moon in Capricorn: The Lunar/Saturn influence will no doubt be tough on weather patterns, and make us start paying attention to the damage we’re doing to the planet — not as punishment, but to guide us toward changing our patterns of planetary abuse.

Don’t forget to watch the Solar Eclipse via the internet at 3:21 am (PDT).  (Click the NASA link at the bottom of this post to watch the eclipse via live-streaming). The New Moon will be in Leo at 9 Degrees (the exact degree of the Sun, which is what causes an eclipse in the first place).

This eclipse concerns me greatly, as it occurs within one degree of some very inauspicious Fixed Stars.  According to ancient star lore, here is a bit of info:

South Asellus:  8° Leo 35 – Asellus is considered unfortunate, and it’s energy is related to both the Sun and Mars.  In particular, this star concerns military preferment, blindness, eye trouble, shipwreck, mass murder, horrors, self-willed, unwillingness to cooperate

Giansar:  10° Leo 20 – Although Giansar is considered a “neutral” energy, it’s connection to Saturn and Mars, causes additional concern, as it shows danger of robbery and accidental poisoning.

This particular eclipse threatens to dethrone, maim and kill emperors, rulers and those who are in high authoritative positions.  Not only that, but the influence of eclipses is generally felt for up to 6 months afterward!  Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

For anyone with any planets at 6 to 12 degrees Leo, there is no doubt that major changes are underway.  Time to get it together — it’s going to be a bumpy ride alright!

UPDATE:  I was up until sunrise, performing a New Moon in Leo ritual, using my Scrying Mirror to catch the the Moon’s magnificence.  I’ll be posting some pix soon.  Seriously, I haven’t felt this much energy from an eclipse since 1991.  The view was exhilarating, even if it was only caught on my television.  Now, we have 4 planets in the sign of Leo, which promises this to be a very historical time, that will no doubt begin immediately.
