Time to follow your own star. Reject all roads but your own. Be open to new points of view but keep your eye on your vision...your star. Aquarius is innovative and intellectual and knows life can't exist without higher ideals and concepts, and the cultivation of the Greater Good.
Rosa Parks called "the mother of the freedom movement" was an Aquarian. In 1929 Virginia Woolf, another Aquarian wrote in "A Room of One's Own" the feminist concept that "A woman must have her own money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Aquarius born Abraham Lincoln ended slavery and Franklin D Roosevelt invented public programs during the Great Depression.
Somewhere out there among the stars a previously non-existent future spins and is possible. Where will you reinvent bowing your head to no one?
☽ Queen of Swords ~ Experience, Intellectualism, Wisdom
A black panther sits to the right of the Queen of Swords. The right side represents taking action. Black panther energy is about owning your power. The sword symbolizes fire elementally. It points to the sky representing air (Aquarius). Air feeds fire. Your thoughts and intentions feed manifestation. She sits up high looking across a great expanse of earthly beauty, casting her spell vision up into the higher realms of manifestation and consciousness. This new moon reveals the greater picture. Freedom is available. She sits apart from the world close to the Heavens talking to the sky... scrying and praying.
Following your own heart and vision can separate you from others. They may judge your views to be dark, going against what should be done, what is "right" or what they view to be how one lives life. The black color of the panther represents the "black sheep" or going-against-the-grain mentality. You just know if you are a black sheep. You may have felt different in your family, but it feels right.
Black Panther represents the Divine Feminine, Winter and the New Moon. Panthers are loners and don't like when their mates tell them how to raise their young. At night is when they feel the height of their power. Panther medicine says it's time to reclaim your power. Follow the unconventional. Be your own maverick. Create your own style.
☽ Nine of Wands ~ Courage, Strength, Creativity, Stamina
All invention comes from the black void. Aquarius energy is innovation, intellectualism, technology and humanitarian contribution. Nine of Wands has many layers of meaning! This is so crazy GOOD! The mandala sits in the center of nine wands. 2016 is a number 9 year...meaning completion, radiance and true awareness. 9 is also the number of light-workers and humanitarians. It's time to go out there and do your thing, if you have been called. You don't have to know how or why...just do it.
The card itself means courage, perseverance and strength (black panther meaning) and the challenge of going forward.
Astrologically Mars in Scorpio is creating a push-pull feeling with this new moon. We want to break out mentally and be free but Mars adds emotional static and restlessness. Also you may see some aspects of your shadow surfacing. Stuff from the long ago past creeping up. You may feel a bit sick. This might be a release through illness. Stay in the realm of what you want especially with your thoughts and intentions here. This isn't a body-feeling new moon it's all spirit + air + thoughts + inspiration. Stay in the sky and follow your star. There looks to be a open crater birthing a beautiful white airy mandala, yet another symbol of where to focus at this time.
☽ Queen of Cups ~ Love, Compassion, Greater Good Medicine, Goddess Energy, Intuition
The Queen of Cups draws down the stars, the fruits of what has been gained at this visionary new moon. She assures your intentions will be nurtured and you will water (cups = water) with your work and contributions. The term way-shower comes to mind. What you share you have learned from your very life. What you know to be true will help someone else find their own truth. This a feminine and intuitive card. Leopard also part of the panther family brings heightened intuition and sensitivity. You may also notice specifically a rise in clairaudience which means clear hearing.
Focusing on the big picture and the good-of-all brings inner peace and deep knowing. She thinks of others and not herself, representing the Aquarius New Moon. This queen is compassionate and all-knowing. When we are going through things it helps to turn around and give help to someone else, or to a cause close to the heart. Sometimes we focus on the needs of others and give ourselves away. This queen gives one cup but keeps one for herself.
Knowing what you feel passionate and philanthropic about is a key to understanding yourself more, and what you need. Deeper childhood or relationship issues may be at the core of wanting to rescue animals. Feeling the need to go to another country as someone I know did, sicker than dog to bring medicine and care to remote villages speaks to a heart of gold. She turned a child's need into part of her passionate cause.
A very beautiful card story is told here. The first card is your authentic and unique vision sent straight up to the sky with fire energy; following your star. Your vision-creativity-passion gives birth to a beautiful mandala, exploding and birthing across the sky, born out of your life trials and experiences. The Queen of Cups take the visionary spirit - sky medicine and gives it back showering the world with queenly and benevolent compassion.
Because I am a singer/songwriter and musician I must pay my respects to the now "Star Man" David Bowie who had an Aquarius Rising. He took us to other dimensions with his lyrics, uniqueness, makeup, fashion-sense and androgyny. More Aquarian artists I adore and respect are Bob Marley, Sheryl Crow, Alice Cooper for bringing artistry and theater and innovation, and Lucinda Williams one of my favorite country artists, who is truly a law unto herself. Aquarian authors Ayn Rand (you could not have a more Aquarian spelling of Ann) Charles Dickens, Langston Hughes, Colette, Charles Darwin and Thomas Merton to name a few.
This is a beautiful, loving and benevolent new moon. Your vision carries your future and undeniably touches those around you.
