As we are all children of the Moon, we feel blessed and honored to share with you our first Lunation Planner! We'd like to keep the deep, feminine, ever-changing and flowing wisdom of the Moon at the forefront of our consciousness, not buried down below. We want to stress the power and importance of Her in our lives as she reflects so beautifully the feelings that shape us as
humans, not angels, animals, plants, or minerals. She helps bring us in touch with our "humanness."
This first lunation planner is authored by Kaypacha and this month only we are sharing the weekly overviews that all members of the New Paradigm Astrology Community will be receiving in their personal
inbox! We hope you'll take the opportunity to join us now to keep tabs on the ever-changing flow of Momma Luna! Check out our membership here!

The New Moon on January 24, 2020 occurs at 4° Aquarius 21’
The Sabian symbol for this degree is “A Church Bazaar, KEYNOTE: The value of giving a spiritual or transcendent sanction to even the most commonplace interchanges between social persons and individual minds.”
This New Moon is the first New Moon following the Saturn/Pluto conjunction which marks the beginning of a new 38-year cycle (last one in 1982, next one in 2054). The Saturn/Pluto cycle marks the evolution of large, global, social, financial, governmental (military), corporate, religious, and all other institutions whose function or presence provides and enforces form, structure, laws, rules, regulations, morals,
and ethics to society. When they come together it signals an end to old structures resulting in the birth of new ones. While an entire book could be written about all that this implies, the point to make for this lunation cycle is that we may all have been feeling a tremendous buildup of tension and pressure as the old cycle came to a close through 2019. Now, particularly with this New Moon in the revolutionary sign of Aquarius, it will be as if we have been sitting at a very long red light
(maybe thinking it was broken?) that is now turning green.
This new Moon sets the stage for the upcoming month-long cycle and indicates a rebellious shaking up of “the establishment” to give expression to new ideas, innovations, and associations. This is a great month for joining or beginning new relationships, organizations, or groups with the intention of bringing in a New Paradigm. Globally, this may manifest as social unrest and public demonstrations against existing
powers that seek to limit the expression of individuals and groups (Sun/Moon square Uranus).
In our personal lives too, this will be a great month to experiment, step outside our comfort zones, expand our reality into unknown realms to envision a new future and create friendships to help us realize those new visions. Our highly activated imagination (Venus/Neptune), may provide us with amazing downloads of an artistic nature that call us forth into magical, mystical realms. Reaching for these realms or
new future plans will involve breaking away, or out of some of our existing limiting relationships, social roles, beliefs, and more. The advice is to do what you need to do, and say what needs to be said, in order to fully express yourself in the most gentle, loving, and kind way. There will undoubtedly be enough sudden, extreme, and unpredictable events occurring throughout this cycle without you adding to them!
The affairs of the house where this New Moon falls will be subject to the most radical change.

Week One (January 24-31)
 Moon waxes (grows) through Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries. Venus conjuncts Neptune, both squaring Mars in Sag, while Mercury sextiles Mars.
This portends a week perfectly designed for retreat, meditation, focusing on our “higher mind,” and attaining profound insights regarding our life purpose, direction, and soul intention. However, it is not a week designed to implement, push, initiate, or instigate these new designs, but rather go “in and up.” In “seeing” or longing for new horizons we may also experience disappointment or disillusionment with regard to our current situation. The feeling that “the grass is greener on the other side of the hill,” may tempt us to run for it, escaping, avoiding, or abandoning current projects or relationships.
We may vacillate between the fear of letting go and entering into the unknown with the strong desire to do so! Especially as the Moon moves into Aries on the 29th, the energy may have built up to the point where we are ready to go for it ready or not! Â
Week Two (February 1-8)
While the ÂĽ Moon occurs in Taurus, Venus sextiles both Saturn and Pluto before moving into Aries on the 7th to close in on Chiron. Mercury passes through its pre-shadow (28Âş Aquarius), enters Pisces and sextiles Uranus. The Moon merrily moves through Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer before becoming full at 20 degrees Leo on the 8th.
As the Sabian symbol for the month states, this is an excellent time to meet, be, and connect with profound spiritual realities in even our most commonplace, mundane, relationships and business. Gathering together with like-minded souls and building bonds of friendship during these times sows the seeds for future cooperative enterprises. It is a time of dreaming
together, planning together, and exploring new options. Stepping out of old ruts may trigger latent fears and insecurities, upsetting existing stability while simultaneously giving us the feeling of liberation, excitement and renewal.
Knowing that we are still closing the Jupiter/Pluto cycle that began in December of 2007, it will be better to meditate and contemplate what we want to move towards and feel into all the ripple effects that will be set into motion, than to jump prematurely into the unknown. The Full Moon will provide us with tremendous illumination of who we are and what we want to
create, and it may be best to cradle it as a new seedling just sprouted and let it grow organically into your desired future without pushing it.

 Week Three (February 9-16)
The Full Moon peaks at 20 degrees Leo and then begins to wane through Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio until forming her ¾ square at 26º Scorpio 41. Venus starting off through Aries comes into conversation with Chiron before heading into a square with the Moon’s nodes. Mercury slows down as he approaches Neptune in Pisces before coming to a halt and stationing
retrograde on the 16th.
This retrograde will last three weeks and will take Mercury all the way back into Aquarius. Just as He is sharing secrets with Neptune in the mysterious sign of Pisces, Mars marches like an army into the powerful earth sign, Capricorn to join Jupiter, Saturn, Ketu, Pallas Athene, Ceres, and Pluto for the great council. Undoubtedly, they would all like to know what
mischief Mercury and Neptune might be up to!
As you might imagine, with these configurations, everything is not quite what it appears, or seems to be. Actions may be initiated under the guise of some ill-begotten deception so it will be very important to read the fine print and carefully decipher underlying truths/motivations. It may even be hard to fathom your own depths for a few weeks’ time as Mercury
retrogrades back to meet the Sun in Pisces. Good to keep in mind that retrograde Mercury is best used to reflect, rethink, remember, and redo. A great time for editing that book or movie and adding some imaginative insights into your journal.

Week Four (February 16 -23)
The Moon gradually winds down through Sag, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces to complete her Aquarius round and begin a new Piscean adventure. In the meantime, the Sun has moved into Pisces on the 18th into a beautiful sextile to both Mars and Uranus (being at their midpoint). The Jupiter sextile Neptune that has been going on for a couple weeks comes exact on the 20th. While Mercury continues his retrograde, Venus jumps into a solid square with Jupiter just in time for the New Moon.
This will be a week best spent observing ourselves and the world as Spirit works her magic, casts her spells, and drowns her foes, metaphorically speaking. The last quarter phase of this Moon’s cycle is the return or harvesting of what was put out at it’s beginning. For some it will be a sweet reunion with the divine as their intentions were pure. For others it
may be the collapse or failure of their ill-begotten plans.
Hopefully you are in a space to exhale, let go, believe, and surrender to the flow of life without ego attachments causing to much pain as they are bruised, cut, or torn.

So Much Love,
