This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on January 24, 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.
Confrontation between mind and emotions
The conjunction between Pluto and Saturn is still fully active in the sky, with a Capricorn that is also highly emphasized by the Jupiter transit at this beginning of the year, which is getting tighter and therefore has a more direct “magnifying glass” effect in a rather inflationary way on these forces.
If Saturn has been able to materialize certain restrictions or limits in the past months, Jupiter comes to bring a renewal phase, and this is what this new moon can already make you feel, here in Aquarius and in the frank square of Uranus, their ruler by the way, it can be very energetic and have a very important breaking and reforming charge !
These are still energies that are quite “mental”, intellectual, and which can also have certain parts that are more easily nervous or anxious, but which will be more directly useful in terms of social and professional reform above all (need also to face one’s fears, of rejection, integration, affirmation, emancipation).
Moreover, we can see that these are global forces that materialize in the sky a gap between “spirit” and emotions… Perhaps parts of logic and rationality will push towards certain conclusions, while what will be felt will invite to take into account other realities, other more “hidden” forces ?
This can also have repercussions at the emotional level, since we can see that the Venus / Mars square tends to activate in the sky, and that this is not really an aspect known for peace in the couple…
Having said that, this is not the worst possible squaring between Sagittarius and Pisces, these signs are “friends”, sharing the same Rulerships, each representing a certain facet of spirituality and receptivity.
With the Venus and Neptune conjunction in Pisces, the affects can be deep, but also have a significant part of both idealization and also confusion, illusions / disillusionment, and precisely this new moon will perhaps come to “bring to light” certain things, certain revelations, which will raise awareness especially every 2nd and 3rd decans of Mutable signs throughout the lunation (so also Gemini and Virgo).
And the global aquatic emotional forces are not facilitated in their externalization over the period, there are quite a few “dry and cold energies”, earth and Uranian, which tend more towards intellectualization, a certain willingness to control, channel, structure…
We see that the whole Cardinal Cross is particularly sensitized by this period, therefore Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and probably all the decans.
Aquarius first decan may not be very comfortable, they will feel important changes taking place gradually over the medium term but perhaps here with more violence (Uranus their ruler insisting on the square to the natal Sun), and necessarily your Solar Return is to be analyzed more deeply this year with this configuration.
The full moon of February 09, 2020 will again underline the Aquarius / Leo axis directly and it sees especially the passage of Venus in Aries, in contact thus with the Black Moon and Chiron, also gradually placing itself in the square of the lunar nodes, which may evoke a form of emotional karmic turning point, and which may also be based on certain fears (of lack of the other, of losing him, etc)…
Mars will not be long in investing its exaltation sign in Capricorn either, where the planet will be able to play the role of a very important triggering factor for all the sensitive stellium forming in this sign ! And this promises a very important next Lunaison for this year 2020…
