Saturn will be in alignment with the New Moon in Pisces on February 20, 2023. Therefore, the meaning of the New Moon in February 2023 is to realize your ambitions through the application of effort, patience, and persistence.
Many beginnings and endings are encouraged to take place during this New Moon. But more often than not, new beginnings, as Venus's sextile to Pluto brings out the best in Saturn. In addition, it gives us a drive and an obsession for success.
New Moon Astrology
On Monday, February 20, 2023, the New Moon will rise at 01°22′ Pisces. There is a minor fixed star located at 02°11′ Pisces, and it will have some influence.
Saturn's position at just over three degrees has a stronger influence on New Moon astrology than any other planet.
You will also notice that Venus and Pluto are semi-sextile (30 degrees) from the Sun, Moon, and Saturn. The midpoint of Venus sextile Pluto lies between the New Moon and Saturn at 29°36′ Aquarius.
Therefore, at this time, Saturn, Venus, and Pluto are all exerting a constructive influence on the New Moon due to an aspect called the Eye.
The Sun and the Moon being in conjunction denotes the completion of one cycle and the beginning of a new one lasting 28 days.
It provides a jolting surge of energy and initiative, which is very invigorating. On the other hand, it helps maintain a healthy emotional balance, one that is neither overly irrational nor overly analytical.
Therefore, the New Moon that occurs in February 2023 is an excellent time for beginning something new, shaking off old habits, or making a clean slate in general.
You can also try challenging old routines, behaviors, and beliefs while you are looking for new and creative ways to move forward with your life.
The Eye
The February 2023 New Moon and Saturn at mid-sextile Venus-Pluto results in the formation of an eye aspect pattern.
The Eye's primary responsibility is to take in new data and process it in order to make decisions. The combination of its adaptability, inquisitiveness, and vigilance results in a state of concentrated attention.
Multiple aspects of each question are considered, the majority of which are done so unconsciously. This provides a comprehensive view, but it also makes it difficult to determine which information is most pertinent.
A lack of the ability to exercise good discernment leads to disappointment, poor judgment, and naiveté. If you take in an excessive amount of information, you will experience over-stimulation, which can become difficult to control.
The area at the very front of the eye is where one is able to take in information the quickest and most effectively. The presence of the New Moon at the top amplifies both perception and intuition.
Having Saturn at the top makes it easier to discern. This New Moon in February 2023 will give us profound insight, psychic abilities, the ability to teach and counsel others, the ability to sense danger and protect others, and the ability to teach and counsel ourselves.
New Moon conjunct Saturn
When the New Moon is in conjunction with Saturn, it can bring about challenges, feelings of insecurity, and loss. However, that won't be the case for this New Moon because Venus and Pluto are forming harmonious connections.
Saturn will always bring a serious and reserved attitude, but it will also bring stability, determination, wisdom, and patience to those who have it as a natal planet.
Because of this, the New Moon on February 20 is an excellent time to focus your efforts on achieving your goals. Building things from scratch, with an emphasis on their architecture and hierarchy, is an especially fruitful use of your time right now.
Significant achievements are possible. If they are built on a strong base, they will stand the test of time. You will have opportunities for recognition, respect, and promotion.
Relationships stand to benefit from increased faithfulness, dependability, and trust. The New Moon in February 2023 is ideal for formalizing or securing a relationship through the exchange of wedding vows or an engagement ring.
Greater loyalty, reliability, and trust will benefit relationships. Streamlining your life and getting rid of things that are no longer serving a purpose for you will make it simpler and less difficult to achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
Even divorces can be handled in a civilized manner, or at the very least, they need not be overly complicated.
New Moon Passion
Venus sextile Pluto means your love will become more profound, and your desire for companionship will grow stronger. If you don't have a significant other, you run the risk of having a crush on someone and being unable to shake the thought of them.
A new friendship or romance would be a whirlwind experience that would significantly alter the course of your life. Existing relationships have the potential to develop to a more profound or spiritual level.
You would be more “into” sex than usual, and you might have experiences with intimate topics that are considered taboo. It is possible to have affairs and friendships behind your partner's back.
Discovering hidden truths is another benefit of the New Moon in February of 2023. You are willing to go to great lengths to discover the genuine emotions and intentions of another person, and perhaps even your own genuine emotions.
You should also feel more passion for other things like ecology, tattoos, cooking, and hobbies, especially creative work. The more time and effort you invest into the kitchen, the more I want to stay out of it.
You could also develop an unhealthy preoccupation with increasing your power, wealth, and influence over others. Huge profits are also a possibility, which is especially true if love is the driving force behind your efforts to better the lives of others.
New Moon Constellations
The New Moon in February 2023 falls under Pisces. However, it can also b found in the constellations of Aquarius. There is a mismatch between the signs and the constellations.
Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the constellations have moved away from the signs by almost 30 degrees over the course of the past 2,000 years.
When it comes to interpretation, I follow the lead of astrologers and use Constellations and fixed stars for interpretation.
The Pegasus constellation in the northern sky contains the star with the smallest distance between it and the New Moon on February 20.
The fixed star Enif is a portent of danger and portends success in combat, athletics, and business. Pegasus is a constellation that bestows spiritual authority along with aspiration, vanity, intuition, enthusiasm, whimsy, and poor judgment.
Spiritual Meaning of the New Moon February 2023
The New Moon in conjunction with Saturn on February 20 is an excellent time for initiating new projects and wrapping up old ones. However, it is particularly good for starting something from the ground up and constructing something from the ground up.
With determination and perseverance, one can accomplish long-term objectives or make long-term plans.
You will have access to all of the necessary information as well as the intuition to know when and how to use it thanks to the eye aspect model. The Venus sextile Pluto aspect infuses whatever you're working on with the passion and drive it needs to be successful, whether it's a new home, a romantic relationship, or a small business.
The effects of the New Moon that occurred on February 20 will remain in effect for the subsequent four weeks, until the New Moon that occurs on March 21.
The Waxing Moon phase, which lasts for two weeks, begins on February 20 and ends on March 7 with the Full Moon. This is the best time to begin new endeavors.
