Practical, constructive, intense, focused. Dare I say willful, too? Use it to move ahead on your New Moon agenda. Moon is still in Aquarius, suggesting a reigning need (watch the headlines) to be seen as socially significant, independent and free (cue footage from the Middle East now). Look for more breakthroughs in technology, including outer space.

Mercury (mind, communication, travel) joins the planetary party in Aquarius at 5:19PM NY time, suggesting a shift in communication that is more concerned with flashes of brilliance and humanitarian concerns, as opposed to the practical achievement of status. It may take a day or two to adjust to the new thought pattern.

Meanwhile, Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the Year of the Rabbit — also known as the Year of the Cat. Gong hey fat choy!
