This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on February 23, 2020, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Confronting ideals with reality
At first glance, this lunation is a great valorization of the Neptunian energies… We can see that Mercury has recently gone retrograde a little before joining Neptune in the sky, so with this new moon in Pisces nearby, it may be more particularly important to identify how this Neptunian transit translates in the medium term in your birth chart ?
Does it represent aspirations or intuitions? Is it more likely to cause confusion, mirages, instability ? This may concern especially the 2nd decans of the Mutable signs which have been particularly sensitized also with the quadrature of Jupiter in Sagittarius with this Neptune in 2019…
Having said this, Jupiter forms a Sextile and is now very close to the Pluto transit, and we also see that the new Moon is harmonic with the lunar nodes, so we can detect a big emergence of a profound transformation to be carried out, here we can think more of an idealization, or even certain blindness, so much so that there is a part that “wants to believe” and that can come out of rational notions and is more of the order of “faith”, of instinct, the “antennas” are very developed.
It is a kind of configuration likely to activate a lot the duality “spirit/matter”, we can see that things tend to split quite a bit between the elemental forces of Water and Earth and that this requires different “conciliations” or concretizations (to succeed in translating these elements at best, to externalize them).
The trap of this period is, therefore, to make the aspirations and intuitions coincide with “reality”, and we can see that there are several planetary energies that are here quite “trapping”, for example, Venus Aries squared with the Capricorn stellium which can imprint a certain form of “valorization crisis”, no more difficulty in determining the value of things, people, work, therefore the risk of being abused, disappointed, cheated, or having to give up certain elements (abandoning one side to focus on another).
And the recent Mercury retrograde also favors a notion of “taking stock” to be realized precisely, the need to go back on certain priorities / ideals, or to put certain things on hold (more or less wanted or suffered by the force of circumstance, to face the concrete).
Mars has just passed through Capricorn, its sign of exaltation where the planet is strong, and here at the same time conjoint at the southern node, at the trine of Uranus, and getting ready to go up the stellium forming in this sign, the planet can represent a “thunderclap”, it will have during this lunation, and on the next lunation also besides, a very important role as a triggering factor for these energies…
This Mars transit represents the “match” that sets fire to the powders of all that has been rising in Capricorn for the last few months, I invite you to read my articles on the Jupiter in Capricorn transit in 2020 and that of Saturn in Capricorn 2017-2020 that synthesize and catalyze all the social dynamics of the mid-term.
All the Cardinal signs are particularly sensitized by this period (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), we could say more directly the 3rd decans given the formation of stellium here, but this is likely reflected much more widely given all the influences… Besides here all the first decans are particularly sensitive to karmic energies ! (T-square Lunar nodes and Black Moon)
The Full Moon on March 9, 2020, marks an important turning point since we can already see Mercury’s return to a direct walk, which will not be long to come, followed by Mars, which will soon be in direct contact with Jupiter, and therefore likely to be more directly “active”…
This mid-March 2020 promises to be one of the most sensitive periods of the year, there is a very big energized energy in this Capricorn stellium, and Mars comes to bring it a principle of action !
Moreover, we are fast approaching the spring equinox of March 20, 2020, which always represents a pivotal phase of the astrological year, the passage of the vernal point symbolizing the emergence of new life and the Day-forces…
