Are you ready for a new beginning? The New Year has finally come, Chinese New Year, that is. One day after the 2nd New Moon of the Year is the official Chinese New Year. 2019 is the Year of the Yin Earth Pig.

We can get clues for the year ahead from the astrology of this New Moon in Aquarius. Mercury and the Sun and the Moon will all be close in Aquarius and Sextile to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This is a message about getting re-inspired and renewed in our greater spiritual purpose and quest. It is a great time for new information and  deep realizations.

We are still feeling Mars, empowered at home in Aries, in a stubborn square with Pluto in Capricorn. This is bringing up stuck feelings of frustration about things in our world not moving the way we would like them to move.

But you don't want to get caught up in the battle, and miss out on the magic of the exact Sextile between Saturn, planet of reality, and Neptune, planet of dreams. It's time to manifest, in real ways, the dreams we have always dreamed, but maybe forgot after we got discouraged over so many lifetimes of being thwarted. Is now finally the time? Saturn says,  'Yes', if you are willing to work for it. Can you muster up the courage and strength for one more round?

Venus is empowered after crossing the Galactic Center in Sagittarius as it comes into square with Chiron at the last degree of Pisces. The dis-empowerment game is now over. Our woundedness no longer sets the stage. It was only a story that happened to us.  It's time to pick ourselves up by our boot straps and get back on track with our grand mission. Forward is the only way!
