NEW MOON - FEBRUARY 9, 2024

2/8/2024

The New Moon is on Friday, February 9 at 4:59 pm CST in 20° Aquarius. One of the keywords for Aquarius is fellowship. Our social interactions are like food. Some are more nutritious than others. This New Moon could be a good time to think about who you enjoy hanging around with. Or is there something in your life that needs to be fed and is there a gathering or meetup for that? Aquarius New Moon can bring new friends or new adventures with long-time friends.
​
The New Moon is squared to Uranus at 19° Taurus so I will add some cautions. Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius and both the planet and the sign have a love of freedom and an urge to rebel. This can be good energy for thinking outside the box or a lightning strike of genius. However, It can be challenging if you're at work and you feel an impulse rising to yell out "I quit!".  Using this last example as a symbol, "just say no" to unexpected desires that are likely turn your life into chaos. Or at least take a week or so after the New Moon to reflect and find the path of wisdom.

Happy National Haiku Writing Month!

I'm trying to write a haiku every day this month - because it's National Haiku Writing Month! https://www.nahaiwrimo.com/

February, the shortest month of the year is the most appropriate for this shortest of poetry forms. I decided not to judge my haiku, just write them. I gave myself permission to be good, bad or indifferent.

Goswami Kriyananda had a Japanese haiku by Issa that he quoted from time to time:

Even in Kyoto
Hearing the cuckoo’s cry
I long for Kyoto

Here's one of the ways I look at that haiku. We try to be aware of the moment, to be in the now, but each moment is colored by all our memories and emotions of the past. So where exactly are we? What are we really longing for?

Here was my haiku from the other night:

Taking out garbage
Quick glimpse of constellations
Walking to the curb

Have fun writing haiku - good creative play for New Moon in Aquarius.

Coming up:

Ooh, how fun! Great idea: This a.m.

Walking at daybreak
Distant woodpecker’s drilling
Boring for breakfast

I love to listen to the birds awakening and greeting the day, determining myself to be “full of song”. Overnighting in a different place, where the surrounding woods offered this different experience. Shanti
