New Moon February 2024 Astrology

Sun conjunct Moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of another new 28-day cycle. It gives a refreshing burst of energy and initiative. But it also brings emotional balance, not irrationally emotional, and not too cold and calculating.

So, the New Moon in February 2024 is excellent for making a fresh start, turning over a new leaf, or starting a new project. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs while searching for new and inventive ways to progress.

Medium Learning Triangle

The aspect pattern created by the New Moon, Venus, and Uranus is called a Medium Learning Triangle. ^[1]It is a learning or development figure in which the third color (green) plays an important role.

Green aspects bring a third point of view, which supersedes the polarized thinking of the red and blue aspects. They allow an escape from black-or-white thinking and a search for causes, possible solutions, and meaning.

Crisis Mechanism

The Medium Learning Triangle stresses the inner need for growth, but dissatisfaction with reality can lead to conflict. An ongoing crisis mechanism opens up great opportunities for development. There are three phases to the crisis mechanism: red → green → blue.

The dynamic process starts with the New Moon square Uranus. The point of conflict is Uranus. Venus trine Uranus’s calm, balanced, pleasure-seeking state is disturbed or irritated, causing tension or conflict, and some decision or effort must be made. The old state is no longer tenable; a problem has arisen that must be solved.

red → green → blue
square → semisextile → trine
conflict → striving for solution → harmonization

The Aspects

New Moon square Uranus brings unpredictable change and uncertainty that can cause conflict and feelings of inadequacy. A buildup of tension can result in erratic behavior, abruptness, rapid changes in direction, and even accidents. Open-mindedness and flexibility are needed to harness this impulsive and rebellious energy safely.

New Moon semisextile Venus is the next step, where you initially search for a solution. This can lead to a change in self-image and bring new information you can use to resolve the problem. A more loving and affectionate attitude makes relationships more harmonious and encourages cooperation, diplomacy and negotiation.

Venus trine Uranus brings creative problem-solving that helps you achieve the desired state of harmony. Enhanced imagination and intuitive perception can lead to innovative breakthroughs and positive changes, especially in your love life, social life and finances. Increased freedom and the urge to try something new bring exciting experiences and unexpected opportunities.

Repetition

So, this process would seem to be complete. But only until a new problem occurs and the crisis mechanism goes again. This process is repeated many times, and every complete transition brings another point of view and the possibility of finding a new solution.

Whether this New Moon February 2024 crisis process is successful depends on your attitude. If you inwardly recognize the opportunities, then development is likely. The development process will be blocked if you treat the crises as mere disruptions.

The Constellations

The February 2024 New Moon is in the Sign of Aquarius. But as the image below shows, it is in the Constellation of Capricorn. The Signs and the Constellations do not align. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.

The Zodiac was invented only as a measuring device. So I use the Constellations and fixed stars for interpretation, not the Signs.

New Moon February 2024

New Moon in Constellation Capricorn gives patience, perseverance, reliability, self-confidence, self-control, self-reliance, ambition, modest tastes, a fondness for old things and ideas, and the ability to organize and direct and take measured deliberate action. It makes people serious, conservative, economical, trustworthy, cautiously forceful, industrious, cool-headed and thoughtful of others.

Harshly aspected (square Uranus), it can make people moody, pessimistic, standoffish, severe, mean, selfish, greedy, and too materialistic and thrifty. It can give a rigid outlook, an inability to see others’ viewpoints, and a tendency to ignore friends and take advantage of others. ^[2]

20♒31 – New Moon February 2024
20♒40 – ε Capricorni, Castra

Fixed star Castra gives high public preferment and fame or notoriety. ^[2]Some astrologers give negative interpretations for this star, but it has a Jupiter nature and is of beneficial influence.

With New Moon: Honours and preferment in writings, government, sports, astrology, and other matters dealing with the public. Name and fame are possible, as well as some psychic ability. ^[2]

New Moon February 2024 Meaning

The New Moon on February 9, 2024, square Uranus can bring sudden and unexpected changes, conflicts, and crises. But with Venus it creates a Small Learning Triangle to help solve those problems by promoting learning and development.

Venus trine Uranus and the positive fixed star help you turn challenges into opportunities and create an exciting new way forward in relationships, finances and creative work. Positive Venus aspects promote cooperation and diplomacy, so there may be a surprise peace deal to end a war.

The influence of the February 9 New Moon lasts four weeks up to the March 10 New Moon. The best time for starting new projects is during the two-week waxing moon phase, from February 9 to the February 24 Full Moon.
