Musician, singer and multi-talented entertainer Richie Havens – who began the Woodstock Festival in August 1969 with his extraordinary song Freedom* – was born on January 21, 1941with the Sun in Aquarius, the Moon in Scorpio and Libra Rising. *I was fortunate to experience Richie Havens performing solo at Syracuse University in October 1969 – beginning with Freedom and other great music – and it was the most amazing concert I ever attended. (His timed birth chart is included at the close of this feature.)
Dateline January 20, 2023: For those of you who are now enjoying the Astrology Cosmic Kalendar App one day at a time – but who have not yet subscribed to be able to look several weeks into the future – here are the calendar entries for the very potent Aquarius New Moon on Saturday January 21 and the day after Sunday January 22. Because every day – beyond the current 24 hours that we define as one rotation of our celestial orb on its axis – has astro-zodiacal magic, mystery and wonder is why thousands of people around the world have been tuning into the Astrological Cosmic Kalendar for the last 41 years and since it was at the heart-center of our Welcome to Planet Earth pioneering astrology newspaper/magazine during the 1980s and 1990s.
The main reasons this New Moon — energizing 2 degrees of Aquarius — are extra significant is due to Venus approaching a conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius and Juno approaching a conjunction with Jupiter in Aries (both alignments exact tomorrow), and Vesta approaching a conjunction with Neptune in Pisces on Monday January 23, and Uranus is going to make a potent station in Taurus (shifting from reverse to direct) on Sunday January 22, plus this entire weekend is under the auspices of the major launch of the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Water Rabbit.
For much more on the opportunities and challenges associated with recent New and Full Moons and Eclipses, please listen to the most recent podcasts in the Mark Lerner Astrology Radio AstroScope section on our website.
You can read more about this Aquarius New Moon and the day after in the two calendar entries below. Please consider the merits of subscribing to the Astrology Cosmic Kalendar App to strengthen your already developing skills as a seer who can tune into the future ahead of time.
Future Cosmic Kalendar Entries for Saturday January 21 and Sunday January 22 (All times are listed in PST.)
Saturday January 21 Tune into visions of the Great Beyond as the Moon in Capricorn forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Neptune in Pisces (12:02am). Some of the mysteries and secrets discovered on January 18 when the Sun united with Pluto can be looked at with renewed attention this morning as the Moon forms its monthly union with Pluto (7:53am). However, this Moon-Pluto contact begins a short void lunar zone that is also in sync with the dark-of-the-moon phase continuing in force until the New Moon arrives at 12:54pm and energizing 2 degrees of Aquarius. Every solar-lunar union has the capacity to send you soaring into the psychic stratosphere, but this particular merger in Aquarius places an emphasis on joining up with like-minded friends and associates in key group projects, team sports and community activities. Let your optimistic mind-set propel your upward and onward as the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Jupiter in Aries (5:10pm) and a harmonious trine with nurturing Ceres in Libra (8:30pm). Keep out of trouble later on due to Mercury in Capricorn taking a swipe at Venus in Aquarius via a tense, 45-degree aspect (11:42pm). From another perspective, today’s New Moon launches what’s known as the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrating the Rabbit archetype. Get set for Uranus leaving retrograde motion in Taurus tomorrow to go direct along with potent unions between Juno and Jupiter in Aries and Venus and Saturn in Aquarius. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Sunday January 22 Revelations abound on this fourth Sunday in January as stellar forces are operating on extra high voltage. Not only is Uranus motionless and shifting from reverse to direct at 3:00pm activating 15 degrees of Taurus, but two powerful conjunctions light up the heavens. Juno merges with Jupiter at 5 degrees of Aries (2:05am) while Venus and Saturn converge at 25 degrees of Aquarius (2:14pm). Peace and harmony vibrations mix their essence with providential energies while love vibes and a sense of responsibility interact in a fateful rendezvous. Regarding Uranus, it’s important to zero in on this planet’s keynotes – surprises, revolution and radical change, intuition, eccentricity, the multi-media and high technology, advances in science and industry, aviation and space travel, the occult and metaphysics, jokers and wild cards, drawing outside the box, anxiety and the nervous system, upheavals and anarchy. Keep in mind that while Uranus will be no longer retrograde as the workweek begins tomorrow, all the Uranus themes indicated above will remain active at a white-hot level of impact in human affairs. (Uranus stays in direct motion until August 28 when it will stop again to go into reverse at 24 degrees of Taurus). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
