the new moon in aquarius happening tomorrow, January 29th, is interestingly setting us up for a mental transformation that we're going to be going through through February 9th or so, when mercury conjoins the sun in cazimi. there are three conditions that planets can be in when they are near the sun—under the beams, combust, and cazimi. under the beams happens when a planet is within 15° of the sun, and will typically be when that planet begins to weaken due to its proximity to the sun's rays. once it gets within 8° of the sun, we call it combust, meaning that the heat the planet feels is so intensified, it is seriously debilitated and seemingly stripped of its power. however, when a planet is within 1° of the sun, this is when it is reborn through cazimi. in cazimi, a planet is said to have the power to "weild the power of the sun for the day." a cazimi is also like the planet being cleansed by fire, allowing it to be purified and renewed. because this new moon will have mercury conjunct pluto in aquarius, we may feel as if many of the mental structures that have been deconstructing over the past week or so will begin to reach a "final collapse" and a rebuilding process will begin to happen on the energetic plane. the exact renewal may not feel prominent until february though, which will be when the cazimi happens. it will form exactly on february 9th, 2025 at 4:07 am PST // 7:07 pm EST. in the meantime, keep your cool, don't lose sight of the bigger picture, and try to remain consistent with yourself.
