A new lunar cycle begins on 22 February 2020 in sidereal Aquarius in the Dhanishta nakshatra. Aquarius, a fixed air sign, being the masculine side of Saturn will guide us to be innovative and take action on our ideas for the sake of society or personal communities. Dhanishta is ruled by Mars, the planet of strength, courage, and being goal-oriented.
Although the moon takes us inward, this will be a time to move into the world like a champion who refuses to be defeated. The energy will feel nurturing, diligent, and intentional. This is a time to let go of digging feet in the sand. Dhanishta is represented by the female lion, who is calm and protective, and by the peacock, which is regal and poised. Our ideas, if progressive and shared with the public, will be groundbreaking for the collective.
Check below about where the moon will be guiding you the two and a half days it’s in Aquarius. This will be the ideas, thoughts, and emotions connected for you individually. Secondly, look at your ascendant sign (your identity and physical life) to understand where abundance or publicity will manifest.

The sun will be in sidereal Aquarius, which the planet finds challenging, so energy may feel low for some. Focusing on Aquarian activities such as volunteer work helping the poor and elderly; doing something selfless for a friend; or studying philosophy or astrology can lessen the effects.
Overall, this is the energy of humanitarianism. The moon and sun are in the same sign guiding us to improve the lives of others. This isn’t the energy of showing off, but allowing the ideas and good deeds speak for themselves. A ripple effect will reach the darkest corners bring us together as one community.
