on Friday,
February 9, in Aquarius
, the penultimate of the zodiacal wheel.
Belonging to the air element and classified by many as the most futuristic and innovative sign, the Aquarian energy in this lunation will be felt.
Astrologer
Mercedes Casini
, founder of Learn Astrology, explained to
Clarín
what are the energies and themes that will mark this lunation astronomically, astrologically and according to each sign.
He highlighted, for example, that this phase will be led by the influence of Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius.

be great visionaries
, since the planetary archetype is associated with originality, freedom and the avant-garde.

According to information from the Naval Hydrography Service, the
new Moon occurs at 7:59 p.m. (Argentine time)
.
For his part, Casini explained that it is perfected in the 20° 40' degree of Aquarius.
But how do new moons occur and why?
New Moons are one of the four most important monthly phases.
They occur every time the Earth's natural satellite and the Sun are in the same mathematical degree.
In other words, there is a new Moon every time it is located between the Earth and the Sun and the “visible side” of the Moon from our perspective is dark.
If the previous new Moon, the first of 2024, was energetically associated with fruits because it was located in the sign of Capricorn, the astrologer related this month's new moon with “the forest.”
“It is the time when we network with other people and beings to
share the fruits we obtained
in the last season (Capricorn),” she explained.

According to the astrologer, it is “a sign associated with
humanitarian changes
, with thoughts that fall like lightning and are ahead of the time, with the breaking of traditional patterns”;
In this, he is at the opposite extreme from his predecessor, Capricorn, who with his Saturnine energy adheres to law, conventions and norms.
“
People with a lot of Aquarius
in their natal chart bring messages that are not accepted in their time but that, years later, end up becoming fashionable, which is associated with what is
below
, what is 'marginal' or what is still too much. avant-garde for the present,” said Casini.
Those characteristics that some may call eccentric will be the key to understanding the themes and opportunities that this lunation offers.
In the opinion of the founder of Learn Astrology, it is “a new Moon that invites us to play with the possibility of the unpredictable,” an episode that can become extremely liberating, like “
a blank page
for us to invent our own life.”

The specialist emphasized that since the new Moon corresponds to the beginning of a cycle that will prosper in the next six months, this Friday, February 9, is a good time to ask ourselves what changes we want to see at a social, community and technological level.
The new moon occurs in
square Uranus in Taurus
, an aspect that, as the astrologer interpreted, implies that “the mental revolution is double and imminent.”
This planetary energy focuses on issues related to Mother Earth and ecology.
For this reason, Casini considered that it is “a great time to start community or group projects.”
To take advantage of this lunation and guide our purposes, Casini recommended that we ask ourselves the following questions: How do I want to connect with human groups?
What creative projects would I like to tackle in the next six months?
What ideas do I have to carry out?
What relationship do I have with ecology?
How can I
collaborate with humanity
and the planet?
What is my contribution to the world?
How much do I use technology?
