February New Moon 2010
Saturday, February 13, 2010 6:51 pm PST
This New Moon, there is a strong Aquarius and Pisces energy in the air. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Neptune and Chiron are all in the innovative sign of Aquarius; while Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are all in Pisces, the sign of transcendance. With all this Aquarian energy, this is the ideal time to take a look at the bigger picture, with the Pisces influence close by, these visions may tend to be of a spiritual rather than physical nature. Aquarian energy is all about innovation, humanities and freedom. Venus is in Pisces for the next month, and this is one of the most creative placements of this coming year. Tap into this creative energy and let it flow into areas you are passionate about. Three days after this New Moon, Chiron and Neptune will join, giving you a great opportunity to dwelve into deep inner healing of a spiritual nature. Chiron is connected with deep wounds, and with this conjunction with the compassionate Neptune energy sets up the perfect time to work on finding compassion and gratefulness for those that brought these lessons/painful experiences into your life.
This New Moon is also the start of the Chinese New Year, which happens to be the year of the Metal Tiger. The year of the Tiger is the best year of the Chinese Zodiac to attack your most difficult issues and work on finding understanding in the lessons connected with those issues. The element Metal is the archetype of the Alchemist and is strongly connected with ritual. This New Moon is the perfect time for calling ceremonial and ritualistic healing energy into your life for the entire next year. On a physical level, this influence can disrupt your immune system, cause problems with your digestive system, specificly the large intestine, and allergies may pop up that you have never had before.
Crystal Suggestions
Chrysoprase, Sugilite, Fluorite
Crystals that are helpful for the nervous and circulatory systems would be great to work with under this Aquarius/Uranus influence. Like Capricorns, Aquarians are prone to arthritis from poor circulation. This may be even more prevelant if you tend to follow your head more than your heart. Aquarians have a weakness in their bodies from the area of the knees, down to your ankles. Stretch out your calves and make the time to get more exericise during these last weeks of winter. This will help to counter-effect these influences and manifestations. Often times, Aquarians love to work on humanitarian projects, which can make them more prone to having nervous disorders. Remember to stay grounded, and drink lots of fluids to help flush out toxins that can accumulate in your joints and body.
Chrysoprase
Chrysoprase is a Nickel Silicate, and helps to inspire us to see the bigger picture or outlook in life. This crystal will help you to discover your own independence and self sufficient strengths. Chrysoprase has been used to help people figure out if their actions are in allignment with their own ideals. This crystal can aid us in seeing the positive sides of things that are manifesting around us. Chrysoprase stimulates the body to release toxins that have accumulated and is great to work with during times of fasting. Heavy metals are more easily broken down and eliminated from the body. Chrysoprase is supportive to the liver during times of detoxification which is normally hard on this organ. Place a piece of Chrysoprase in your chalice/cup to assist your body during times of cleansing impurities from your auric field and body.
Sugilite
Sugilite is a hexagonal Silicate mineral with traces of Manganese, Iron, Lithium and Aluminum. This crystal reaches deep into your soul to bring about transformative energies of healing. Sugilite will purge painful experiences back into your mind and realities. This helps to assist us, in using these painful experiences to bring about understanding so that we can release these things, and have more room for future opportunities and growth. This is an ideal crystal to do dream work with. Place a piece of Sugilite under your pillow to stimulate very healing dreams. These dreams can give you clues as to the root causes and reasons for blockages and imbalances in the body. In China, Sugilite is used to assist people to heal from various types of Cancer, by making the emotional root causes of the imbalance more obvious and clear. This Crystal resonates with the third eye and crown chakras making visions of your spiritual growth very clear.
Fluorite
Fluorite is a Calcium/Flourine Crystal that is very helpful for those that suffer from arthritis. This crystal stimulates the radical Uranus energies and helps us to work against oppressive structures that may be in place. Flourite helps us open the gateway to our subconscious in a gradual efficient way, by helping to dissolve blockages and fixed ideas. Quick thinking and awareness of past and future lessons helps us to come to a place of understanding. This crystal helps to fortify and strengthen your bones and teeth.
