Moon in Aquarius--Pisces
/moon goes void-of-course at 1:06p PT | 4:06p ET | 9:06p UT
New Moon of Aquarius occurs at that exact v-of-c moment.
Also the Chinese Year of the Dog begins then (goodbye, Old Rooster, see you in 2029)
Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday and the Chinese New Year all happen within two days of one another. Interesting time. You may be feeling a surge of clarity and hope.
Donald Trump is a Dog. This is supposed to be a good year for him. I shall not comment.
Today's symbols:
Death, with a scythe in one hand, and a bag of money in the other. A miser who would delight in carnage if it would prove of some monetary advantage to himself. c
A widow's past brought to light. Rectification. s
A cup, a pack of playing cards, and dice. Dissipated or irregular life. Weakness for wine and gambling. Addicted to pursuit of fortune by adventitious means. Spoliation. b
A neat little thatched cottage in an Alpine valley. A true child of Nature who will never conform to the ways of Society. c
A neat little thatched cottage in an Alpine valley. A true child of Nature who will never conform to the ways of Society. c
A cross lying on rocks. Conscience. s
A niche in which are set a lamp and a book or missal. Secrets of nature revealed through long and patient study. Devotion and intelligence, pursuing studies where others would have abandoned them. Religion, philosophy, fine arts. Illumination. b
A bunny metamorphosed into a fairy. Transition. s
Perhaps it would be good to just read through these symbols two or three times and let thoughts and perceptions come to you. They speak in ways one would not expect. For example, a few days ago I was with a friend at a restaurant. He picked up the artificial battery-powered candle on the table and turned it on; then set it off to his left. Later on the way home he found another candle lying in a park and picked it up. Later that night before sleep the lamp at the left of the head of my bed went off. I got a new bulb for it and put it on. Now one of the symbols for the day was "The lamp of physical enlightenment at the left temple." The friend placed the artificial candle to his left. The lamp on my bedstand was to my left. Sometimes the symbols can be amazingly literal. Other times they seem entirely metaphoric but if one lets them percolate in free association they speak volumes. My particular pre-day take on the above: (Well, before I write that, something came to me when I just re-read the above symbols which was very personal and which I would not write about here, something way back in my past. It was wonderful, commenting upon and expanding my comprehension of matters connected with people very important to me.)
Pluto was in the degree we have first today, the miser with death's scythe, on 9/11/2001. Conspiracy theorists will say that the vicious miser was our own government or someone in it. Most would say that he was Osama bin Laden or the terrorists themselves. Today this is much lighter, in the light of the other symbols (which were by contrast horrible on 9/11). I will just let it speak to you however it may.
The widow reviewing her past goes along with the above. She knows there are things she could have rectified, perhaps, in her marriage, but still feels that she can do so at a spiritual level.
The drinking gamblers are to me a pleasant symbol, suggesting freedom to try anything and feel exhilarated in the process. The keyword "Spoliation" points out that there have to be limits (too often recognized too late). The miser probably would not be a gambler, or maybe he would. These seem to be two extreme attitudes toward ways of gaining wealth.
The child of Nature with his cottage in a valley could be any of us wanting to escape from the extremes just pointed out. How lovely and peaceful is the simple life!
Yet there is conscience, and religious memories and symbols, Jesus hovering in the background even though one may have tossed the cross on rocks or forgotten about Him.
So one turns to the niche, and study of either scriptures or other profound teachings, or deep sciences or arts. Long and patient study can lead to illumination.
Then one might even become the bunny metamorphosed into a fairy, or an ordinary human being becoming somewhat angelic, liberated from the most-gross desires and attachments of usual living into a heaven of spiritual understanding where all seems light and easy.

The symbols and their interpretation are intended to apply basically during the hours from dawn to midnight. Often a planet will move from one degree to another during the day, so I use a time near mid-afternoon for all of them, so that they shall be exactly right during most, often all, of the daylight hours. The period from midnight to dawn could partake of the nature of either day or both.
Those who read this early may have noted that I confused the Horse with the Dog in Chinese astrology. I was not really confused; I knew that the new year is that of the Dog and that Trump is a Dog, yet I flip-flopped it in my mind as I wrote because I had also been reading about the Horse in my book on Chinese astrology. Sorry.
