The February 4th New Moon (15 deg Aquarius) conjoins Mercury and Black Moon Lilith. Here we have a new beginning that features information/communication about the dark lady.
BML in Aquarius is the taboo woman who does her own thing. She rebels against all the “shoulds” and makes most people uncomfortable because she is atypical- she does not act the way the rules say women “should” act. In general, BML is associated with women’s sexual power, the witch, the prostitute, the female demon or the woman who refuses to belong to any man.
In Aquarius, her outsider status is emphasized as is her tendency to draw people’s attention to uncomfortable but truthful subjects. Conjunct Mercury and this New Moon, we might expect a shot of disruptive clarity about a very uncomfortable subject. Since it’s a New Moon, there will be more to come – we’ve only started.
This Moon/Mercury/BML make a supportive sextile to Jupiter in Sagittarius. So despite the somewhat shocking nature of this energy, Jupiter offers optimism and luck. The word that’s revealed may come out in the best way at the best time. Others may be surprisingly receptive to what’s revealed, or the forward momentum of what’s happening may be increased with legal support, education or expansive views. In a harmonious sexitle to Mercury in open-minded Aquarius, Jupiter hints that the vibe is non-judgemental and unrestricted. So there’s plenty of room for this to grow.
Watch for some jarring revelations or conversations, but don’t be afraid of what you learn.
Note that this Moon will only be 1 degree off from an exact conjunction to the Saturn/Neptune midpoint. Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces will make the first of three exact sextiles on January 31st (at 15 deg). This sextile combines form (Saturn) and formlessness (Neptune) suggesting that dreams/belief can be given structure while structure can be gently changed. Activated by this Moon, it adds an undertone of existing rules gradually dissolving so something new can emerge. That works well with Aquarius’ energy.
