At 04°28′ Pisces, the February 23 new moon is extremely well placed. It joins a powerful and fortunate fixed star called Fomalhaut. In the chart below I have highlighted three harmonious blue aspects that form a neat triangle.
The Minor Grand Trine aspect pattern funnels the positive energy of Mars trine Uranus into the new moon. It makes the individual aspects stronger and they work together so you don’t have to work so hard to reach your new moon goals.

Hello Jamie, the times for the new moon provided above are a few minutes out. Normally they are spot on so something has gone amiss with this one.
Thank you Maria, Must have been a typo 🙂
Don´t you think that the moon north node is the real outcome of the overal explantion you just gave?
Hi Alex. I can see how you come to that but I don’t place that much importance on the lunar nodes. I have not seen enough evidence in natal charts or transits for the Nodes having a strong influence. Also, I find it very difficult to differentiate between north and south node.
HI Jamie, what if the new moon aspects form all quincunx in the chart?
Quincunxes have a tense, almost neurotic influence. They are associated with karmic and health imbalances. I have some interpretations on the transits page.
This new moon is exactly conjunct my sun/moon midpoint. I don’t really know if I should be hopeful about a possible love encounter (although I also have transit Jupiter in my 7th and my progressed moon in my 7th as well currently… so love isn’t too weird of a prediction…) What do you think? Possibly a new relationship?
Listen to the elder Bull and know what he means, when he tells you to walk, not run, down the hill.
What has a stronger influence on starting new projects at this time: this new moon or Mercury’s retrograde?
Namaste,
Colibrie
Ceres is unaspected at the Full Moon. It has a minor semi-sextile aspect to Mercury Rx.
Meet me at the uptown Smorg this Saturday afternoon, don’t tell anyone.
Go for a good run afterwards, on the exercise machine?

Van Valen’s Red Queen hypothesis is derived from a statement that the Red Queen made to Alice in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass in her explanation of the nature of Looking-Glass Land:
“Now, Here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.
In business
“Red Queen marketing” is defined as the business practice of launching new products in order to replace past failed launches while the overall sales of a brand may remain static or growth is less than fully incremental. wiki

“The Red Queen Hypothesis in biology states that species continually need to change to keep up with the competition. If a species would stop changing, it would lose the competition with the other species that do continue to change. If you take for example the relationship between a parasite and its host. Both the parasite and the host are involved in an arms race with each other. There is pressure on the host to evolve to become resistant to the parasite and there is pressure on the parasite to evolve ways to cope with the resistance of the host. Both species need to change genetically to keep up with the changes in the other species”
This new moon falls exactly on my natal sun at 4 Pisces. Had a great birthday after what was quite the downer of a week before that. And what has been a BRUTAL decade plus since 2007. I am not yet 40 but feel older than 60 year olds on most days. I know some 90 year olds whose innocence and faith in life I envy.
I am surprised to be here after the Saturn Pluto conjunction last month, I’ve been badly hammered for the last few years leading upto the conjunction (I did feel like I was going to die most terrifyingly leading upto it, as I was already running Pluto square Saturn transit and Saturn square mars last year. Whew.)
I am hoping for some more physical and mental healing from Long standing chronic health issues with this new moon being so fortunately placed for me. Heartening to read about Fomalhaut being such a fortunate star for my Sun, which is already in Pisces (chronic illness/imprisonments/confinement/being kidnapped and abused since birth) and needs all the help it can get.
What do you think Jamie? Will Mars and Uranus focus powerfully on my natal sun?
I do sense this new moon is a fortunate turn of events for me, being exactly on my birthday. But I have felt that before and gotten hammered and am wary. I have been plugging away with as much bravery as I have (and some more!) to excavate extremely painful deep core beliefs in order to heal from what I believe to be many lifetimes of entrenched trauma and abuse and brokenness. It is gut wrenching and I feel raw and without my armour as coping mechanisms stretching back decades are being disintegrated. I am loathe to go out and socialise, and I feel people are greedy for my energy so I must protect myself during this time (but not forever, my natal Sun trine Jupiter means wherever I go most people like me and want to spend time with me and I enjoy it too. Strange I feel like such a hermit. The hermit card in tarot has been prominent for years now for me)
My Sun has not had the best time in this life. I do hope this year/birthday/new moon will be the start of a whole new life for me – one where I hopefully learn with love safety joy health and freedom. I am ready to leave behind learning from abuse trauma crippling chronic illness and confinement/feeling trapped.
All good news is appreciated and welcome!

I can go in different tangents with this one. The shadow(Scorpio friend, 11th) watched a football game (Mars 5th), on the box, played in an empty stadium. (Sun conj Neptune),
How does that work on the ego?
