February 10-16, 2013
Fireworks are on tap this week when the New Moon on Sunday, February 10, welcomes in the Chinese Year of the Fire Snake {It is the year of the Black (Water) Snake. But, the Snake is a Fire symbol.} In Chinese astrology the new year is always celebrated at the Aquarius New Moon. The date for Chinese New Year is different every year, because the Aquarius New Moon takes place on different days and sometimes even in different months. Besides being the Year of the Fire Snake, 2013 is also a Water year in Chinese astrology. Because feminine Water puts out Fire, the masculine power of the Fire Snake is said to be weak this year. How this will play out is anyone's guess, but the Fire Snake/Water year combination is exactly in synch with the concept put forth in this year's overview: 2013 is a year when the masculine/yang tide is waning and the feminine/;yin is increasing. The Aquarius New Moon signifies a time when the unconscious lunar forces are dark and at a monthly low. Since all seeds have a better chance of sprouting when the Moon is waxing, the two weeks following the New Moon are the best times of the month for any kind of groundbreaking start-up. Be sure to sign all papers to get any new project up and running before the Mercury retrograde next Saturday, February 23.
