2010 Moon Cycle 2: new Moon in Aquarius, full Moon in Virgo

Here are the Moon charts for February:

This second Moon cycle of year 2010 starts on St. Valentine's Day. This year's Valentine's Day is a busy one -- occurring on this day are --

  • the New Moon
  • a new Lunar Year, that is, Chinese New Year
  • the New Moon is conjunct the U.S.'s natal Moon, suggesting the beginning of a major lunar cycle. Note that lunar returns in which the Moon exactly conjuncts the Natal Moon's position occur monthly; these would be considered a minor cycles. The next time the new Moon occurs this close to the U.S.'s natal Moon is in 2018, the time after that is 2037. The charts for the next two conjuncts are included; follow the links above.

At this time we find the Sun and new Moon at 25° Aquarius and the full Moon balanced against the Sun on the Virgo/Pisces axis at 10° Virgo (9 Virgo 59 is just one minute away).

Winter Solstice @ 00° Capricorn 00

Here are two charts for the Winter Solstice, aka Winter Ingress, on 21 December 2009, 5:48 PM (GMT); and a report on the Ingress (see notes below). The winter ingress is considered significant because it marks the point of the Sun's yearly return and the return of light.

Here are calendars with astrological annotation for the first quarter of 2010:

Looking at the sidereal chart, note that the Sun is shifted about 25°, back to Sagittarius. This is true for all the points in the chart. For an explanation why this is so, check out this article in the wikipedia. It's pretty much right on.

Keep in mind that drawing up a chart is essentially science-based, using astronomical positions and math. Reading and interpreting a chart is an art, a balance between collective consciousness, evolving consciousness, and meanings that work in our world(s) today.

About the Winter Ingress Report

  • This report (generated by software available from Matrix Astrology) reads the chart as if it were a natal one. According to some astrologers, this is the birth chart for the coming year and can indicate trends. It also sums up conditions existing at the moment of crossing over to a new year.
    • Try to read the report as impersonally as possible, substituting 'we' for 'you.'
    • Here is a deeper look at the winter solstice is given by Rob Tillett in his article "The Solstices."
    • Here's an interesting take on the winter solstice from the Huffington Post
    • And here's a listing of articles about ingresses
  • I've greyed-out the references to houses, because the chart was drawn for one location on Earth -- Greenwich, United Kingdom. If you don't live there or nearby, the houses occupied are different.
  • While all of the planets, lights, and asteroids are delineated, no mention is made of patterns, relative strengths and weaknesses, final dispositors, and so on. So proceed with caution.
  • Transpluto is to me an unknown. Here is a little information, somewhat contradictory, on it:
  • My purpose in presenting this relatively raw, undigested information in which some parts are simply not usable is to acquaint you with all that is available. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows, it may prove to be useful to you, as an individual.
