This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on February 01, 2022, 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.
Main signs impacted during the lunation:
Pisces, Capricorn and Aquarius
Releasing/Fast dynamic phases
It is a very interesting New Moon because it can set the pace for different “releases”! January was still quite “stuck” in retrograde phases of the fast planets Venus and Mercury, and as much as the Venusian retrogradation has just stopped at the end of the previous lunation, the Mercurian energies are also going back into direct motion at the beginning of this lunation.
We can also see that the transit of Mars comes to energize in exaltation in Capricorn the Venusian energies by catching up with them, forming a Conjunction, which brings an additional “driving or triggering principle” to the period (forming a sort of “chasing effect” regarding the previous phases).
It may be a good idea to analyze what has happened in the last few weeks or even months (even since the end of 2021 in the medium term), in which life area(s) you may have experienced constraints, setbacks, frustrations, confrontations, because this New Moon may give a powerful liberating energy on all these points! In order to regain control, to better assert ourselves, since many social, relational and emotional energies are involved.
So this new moon has a bit of a “double hat”, where on the one hand it highlights “what has seized up, what has slowed down” (we can also see that it is conjunct Saturn, square to Uranus in Taurus, still a medium term blocking configuration that I have talked about several times), but these are things that we have been aware of for several months probably (we don’t “discover” anything new here especially, a priori). But this new moon also has very interesting energies to turn pages more definitively, to find solutions and put them in place in a practical and pragmatic way!
Especially around the Full Moon of February 16, 2022, which has a very powerful energetic charge for all this (in terms of revelation, of bringing to light), and which already forms a wider opening on the Neptunian energetic wave which will be active in March and April (a very important phase of the year), with the transit of Jupiter joining the transit of Neptune.
Here, the liberation that can be pursued in the background (the fact of freeing ourselves from old patterns) finds interesting structuring energies, and as I have said before, astrologically speaking we can say that the “dynamic phases” of the year 2022 start only from here for many people! (with a few exceptions who will have been able to “avoid” the worries linked to the retrograde phases of January)
In addition, Jupiter will reach the 2nd decan of Pisces, which will make all the mutable 2nd decans (as well as Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius) more directly aware of the Neptunian wave, which is now becoming very clear as a major phase of the year 2022, and this may therefore allow to materialize in the medium term what was already awakened in the spring and early summer of 2021, which may come back to the forefront.
