Hi everyone. A day to do some astrology today, as we have a New Moon in the sign of Aquarius. Now for those of you who are not very up on Astrology, a New Moon where the Sun and Moon combine, is the beginning of a cycle allowing new energy to flow. The New Moon in Aquarius is very symbolic in China and in Chinese astrology, as it represents the beginning of a New Year. This time around it is the Chinese year of the Ox.
Aquarius is a sign of breaking the old, consigning it to the past and starting something new, and so I suppose is the Chinese in this regard have got it dead right. They base their year on the time for a fresh new start, and the best place to begin anything is under an Aquarian New Moon.
Now this particular New Moon will be a bit special, as not only the Sun and the Moon are placed in the sign of Aquarius but also four other planets as well, namely Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, and the last time we had so many planets in this particular sign was in 1962. I don't suppose that many of you remember that year (I certainly don't), but it was the start of a cultural and social revolution, and the Swinging 60s we're just starting to blossom and the space race was in full flow. You can already see the ideas of community, humanity, social media, the internet technology space and the universe things that are starting to dominate everyday life once again, and these are all Aquarian themes.
This New Moon sees Jupiter and Venus coming together in Aquarius and making contact, and this will be a sign of money, finances, freedom, deregulation, internationalism, global cooperation, society taking a risk and spending to excess. There will be huge amounts of optimism and good will present today and in the next weeks to come triggered by this conjunction on such an auspicious day.
My message to you is to use this energy to further your lives, to make contact wth others, to spread the word of Steemit and other social media that promote freedom of expression and thought. One last word. Just to show that this energy is working, Steem on the markets is starting to skyrocket, up 14% at last look, right on cue.
So lets get our wonderful community here to flourish and build in strength for we are the ones sufing on a wave of incredible power. The call for change, a digital revolution and the trend towards favouring the community and the success of the many instead of the few, has only just begun...
