If the Moon's last aspect has been a trine or sextile, then the impact of the Void of Course Moon is not that significant.

FEBRUARY 1
The New Moon occurs early today–at 12:46 AM EST–in the sign of Aquarius. It motivates or prompts us to start fresh with a friendship, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, happiness pursuits, trying something new, or humanitarian efforts. We’re looking to the future with a new vision, and we’re doing more brainstorming and socializing. It’s an excellent time to see the value of developing more objectivity and a bit of detachment. This New Moon aligns with Saturn, suggesting a somber and resolute determination to start fresh, although perhaps some reticence or a strong sense that we’ll have more responsibilities with our new beginnings. With its square to Uranus, some unexpected or rebellious elements are likely. Consider that we might not yet have all the information we need to push ahead with Mercury retrograde until the night of the 3rd. However, it can be easier to distance ourselves from habits that may be holding us back.
The void Moon occurs from 6:01 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Saturn), until the Moon enters Pisces tomorrow, Wednesday, February 2nd, at 6:00 AM EST.
FEBRUARY 2
The Moon continues its transit of Aquarius until 6:00 AM EST, when it heads into Pisces. The Pisces Moon is gentle and kind, and its alignment with Jupiter magnifies and expands our compassionate feelings. We’re reaching for our joy, and we seek to grow, develop, and improve, primarily through embracing our emotions, empathy, spirituality, or downtime. The Moon also forms a sextile to Mars, heightening our feelings and stirring our passions. While the Pisces Moon can be elusive, this transit improves our ability to meet challenges.
The void Moon continues until the Moon enters Pisces today at 6:00 AM EST.
FEBRUARY 3
The Moon spends the day in Pisces, aligning with Neptune, and bringing on a need to unwind, go with the flow, or accept and forgive. Mercury stations and turns direct tonight after retrograde motion since January 14th. Over the coming weeks, recent problems with communications and decision-making should start to improve. The answers we’ve been waiting for can arrive. Plans or projects that have stalled might now resume. However, we can be flooded with energies that are hard to make sense of during today’s shift. Thus, we might avoid critical decision-making for the time being, if possible. It’s a better day to take in than to take action. It’s also a good idea not to rush conversations and observations.
FEBRUARY 4
The void Moon occurs from 4:41 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aries at 9:57 AM EST.

Applying Sun Conjunct Saturn
This transit is about making realistic judgments and locating responsibilities. It’s a transit of beginnings and endings, delays and obstacles, and cooling down. Patience and organization are favored.
Moon void in Aquarius
Friendships waver; group activities lose focus. Open-ended alliances prosper; traditional alignments falter.

Applying Jupiter Sextile Uranus
This is a time when mostly positive developments, changes, and innovations are happening in many fields, including religion, law, and transportation.
Saturn void in Aquarius
Formalities are the rule; traditions are maintained. Groups of old friends, family, and comrades assemble to remember the past. Conservatism rules; experiments fail. At this time leaders are under pressure and laws are put into effect. It’s a time for staying with tradition and not experimenting with new forms of social behaviors. The past triumphs.
Uranus void in Taurus
Actions are unconventional, radical, or surprising. Not everyone agrees on how things should go, therefore there is discord within groups. Others, who have a specific agenda, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. Social conditions are volatile now. The bottom could fall out. It’s a time for experimentation and deviant behaviors. Sudden, unusual, and disruptive conditions occur now that reveal deep inequalities in society and culture.
Neptune void in Pisces
Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.
Pluto void in Capricorn
There is movement toward displaying outright power. Tolerance and patience are pushed aside in favor of drastic actions. Old wounds are reopened and confrontations forced. Power plays occur. Secret forces make their presence known. Some seek to act on their urges, others attempt to stop them. Deep secrets are revealed. A collective cleansing is in order.

This is a quest to overcome your distrust of change, to develop creative outlets for your intense emotions and to avoid hitting out at loved ones. These attributes plagued you in this life because of suffering and traumatic endings in past-lives which left you with deep emotional wounds and a feeling of being cheated. In learning this life’s lesson of trusting the process of change you will develop a newfound sense of peace and stability.

This week: The Sun is in Aquarius; Mercury is in Capricorn; Venus is in Capricorn; Mars is in Capricorn.
The Sun is in Aquarius from January 19-February 18. During this cycle, we are motivated by our hunger for knowledge, experience, and originality. Innovation is more important to us than convention. We become more aware of what is outdated in our lives, and strive to find new perspectives and new ways to do things. The class distinctions, structure, and order that Capricorn finds appealing now seem to be too rigid. The freedom of the individual becomes far more significant to us.
We strive to free ourselves from some of the restrictions, inhibitions, and limitations that now feel constraining rather than safe.
Mercury is in Capricorn from January 25-February 14. When Mercury is in Capricorn, our thinking is methodical and our focus is sober and practical. It is easier to concentrate on the task at hand under this influence. Our conversations may be quite realistic or focused on business/practical matters. Our thought patterns and communication styles become more logical, orderly, and organized.
We are more able to sort out what is relevant and essential. Realism enters the picture, our speech is no-nonsense, and precision becomes important to us. Our survival instincts are strong–we’re interested in what will benefit us in the long term.
We’re not interested in the fluff, preferring to get right to a point or the bottom line. Communication can be somewhat guarded or cautious, and similarly not very floral or expressive. We gravitate to concrete subjects and information that’s logical, useful, and well-organized. We may prefer a methodical approach to studying. Our fantasies may be well-considered and possible, with realistic overtones.
We need to be wary of becoming too rigid in our thinking. We may come across as cold or harsh. For some, there is a fine line between realism and pessimism. At times, we might lack humor, or we’re inclined toward sarcasm when joking. We can be quite stubborn with our ideas and methods.
We can use this period to make solid, realistic plans and get organized. It’s a favorable time to advise, teach, or guide. Generally, we’re more concerned than usual with our reputation or responsibilities. Our dependability can reap rewards. We love to plan ahead and map out our next steps. Changes of schedule can be most disconcerting during this cycle. Our reactions are sensible, cool, and level-headed while Mercury is in Capricorn.
Venus is in Capricorn from November 5, 2021-March 6, 2022. [This is longer than usual due to the Venus retrograde, occurring entirely in the sign of Capricorn, from December 19, 2021-January 29, 2022.] Getting serious about our finances and boosting our relations with business partners and/or co-workers will be easier than usual under this influence. Our talents for creating artistic structure and form are enhanced, and our ability to form connections with people who support our ambitions increases.
We value enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness. We take expressing our feelings seriously, and we take our time to warm up to others. We generally keep our “cool” in relationships. We’re steadfast and seek genuine, perhaps old-fashioned connections. It’s not a time for PDA, and we can be somewhat guarded and reserved with expressing our feelings or revealing our relationships.
The underdog who works hard can have their time in the sun now. We value slow and steady effort and long-term prospects. Reliability in others is most attractive.
This cycle favors getting along well with higher-ups, conservative business goals and ventures, long-term investments, and matters related to pension.
Mars is in Capricorn from January 24-March 6. Mars in Capricorn is deliberate, persistent energy. We consider the future and the consequences before taking action during this cycle. Our energy is reliable and faithful. We are slow to anger, but can be quite cold if we are frustrated. The shadow side of Mars in Capricorn is rigidity.
Jupiter is in Pisces from December 28th, 2021, to May 10, 2022. Jupiter returned to Pisces on December 28th, 2021. This is part two–there will be another part to this 3-part act later in the year! Read more about the Jupiter in Pisces transit.
Saturn transits Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020, and from December 17th, 2020, until March 7, 2023. Read about Saturn’s transit of Aquarius.
Uranus is in Taurus.
Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.
There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.
Romance & Relationships
Venus is in Capricorn from November 5, 2021, to March 6, 2022. Venus in Capricorn is a cycle in which security and stability in our relationships are paramount. We are more cautious with our emotions and somewhat skeptical of both our own feelings and others’ expressions of affection. Longevity is important to us under this influence.
There is a formality to Capricorn that can make personal expressions seem awkward and forced. However, this cycle offers us the opportunity to consider some of the practical issues of our relations and to work on making our partnerships work in the real world. A dose of realism in our personal lives can help us to feel more grounded and secure in the long run.
This week: Venus is no longer retrograde. It’s recovering from the retrograde cycle, however, and is in its post-retrograde shadow until March 1st. Slowly but surely, we’re finding that Venus-ruled endeavors, such as money, beauty, art, romance, and pleasure, are getting back to a normal pace.
On Thursday, the 3rd, we’re investing more energy and pride in harmonizing and connecting.
Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:
Venus in Capricorn Marry for money and then learn to love ’em: that’s what your heart tells you now, as a new cycle gets underway in your life. Does that sound cynical? Maybe so – but it does reflect the yearning you feel for security and stability now, and it suggests the kind of compromises you may be willing to make to accomplish these objectives.
Venus parallel Mercury January 14 and January 22-23. A congenial time when we appreciate diplomacy and socialize more readily.
Venus parallel the Sun February 3. A strong desire for harmony and comfort fill us now. We may be moved to express our affections.
Venus parallel Saturn February 10. We may express our affection sparingly, but also responsibly and in practical ways. Relationships begun under this influence often feel burdensome over time, but they may last longer than most.
Venus conjunct Mars February 15-16. This is a passionate, warm, expressive, lively and sexy energy. We are now able to take the initiative to achieve harmony and sexual fulfillment. This influence brings satisfaction to the feelings. Our creativity and desire to make something beautiful is stimulated now. We are more able to combine warmth with energy. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme.
In some cases, this impulsive energy generates “love at first sight” scenarios or erotic interludes. Team work is more successful now. Some level of competition is present in our interactions, but it’s likely of a pleasurable and gently challenging kind. Impulsive purchases are possible.
The NEW MOON occurs on Tuesday, February 1st, 2022, at 05:46.
Early Tuesday, a New Moon occurs in the sign of Aquarius–the Capricorn New Moon cycle ends, and the Aquarius New Moon cycle begins. In the sign of Aquarius, friendship, brotherhood, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group will be a strong focus. New beginnings regarding any or all of these matters are possible now.
It’s a time to solve problems that require thinking “outside of the box” and look to the future with a brand new, positive, and hopeful vision. We brainstorm and socialize, focusing on extending a friendly hand, receiving support, and expressing platonic love for those around us. It’s a time to give our emotions and passions a “break” as we develop more objectivity and some detachment from past haunts.
We might learn how something (or someone) works, revitalize ourselves through experiences that are new or simply different, reach out to people in our social circle and community, and recognize the value of our friendships and social networks.
It’s a time to acknowledge that some level of detachment and distancing ourselves from our habits and attachment to the past will help us break away from destructive behaviors that are holding us back.
With this potent Aquarius energy, we have the chance to make progressive changes in our lives. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters.
This New Moon aligns with Saturn, suggesting a somber determination to start fresh, even with some reluctance involved. With its square to Uranus, some unexpected or rebellious elements are likely.

Murder trial over Bangladesh factory collapse resumes after five years
Feb 01 2022
Bangladeshis mourn relatives killed in the collapse of Dhaka's Rana Plaza, home to numerous textile factories
Dhaka (AFP) - Bangladesh has resumed the murder trial over one of the world’s most devastating factory disasters after five years mired in appeals and court procedure, prosecutors told AFP on Tuesday.
More than 1,130 workers died in 2013 when a nine-floor warren of textile factories in the capital Dhaka fell down.
The collapse of Rana Plaza – where clothes for top fast fashion brands such as Primark and Benetton were produced – highlighted unsafe conditions in the country’s lucrative garment industry and triggered mass protests demanding action from global retailers.
A court in 2016 charged 41 people with murder for signing off on building standards and forcing employees to work despite cracks appearing in the complex the day before the disaster.
But the case was halted for more than five years while several defendants tried to get their charges vacated, and the country’s high court suspended the indictments of two local officials accused of approving the shoddy building.
On Monday, a judge ordered the trial resumed for 36 of the original defendants – three have since died – while a prosecution request to vacate the two suspended indictments will be considered separately.
“We want to conclude the trial as quickly as possible. Already too much time has been wasted,” chief public prosecutor Sheikh Hemayet Hossain told AFP.
“The building didn’t have any (construction) plan. It would shake when machines were switched on. And the owner of the building, Sohel Rana, used hired muscle to force the workers to go to work on the day of the collapse.”
Hossain said all of the accused except Rana have been free on bail.
Rana’s father, who was a co-owner of the complex, is among the defendants who died before facing trial, fellow prosecutor Shamsur Rahman said.
- ‘Of course we want justice’ -
Bangladesh’s economy has soared in recent years, largely on the back of its $35 billion garment trade, which accounts for more than 80 percent of the country’s exports.
The industry is second in size only to China’s, but fires and factory collapses are common due to lax building regulations and improperly kept volatile chemicals.
Its operators are also a powerful political lobby, and Rana’s connections to the ruling Awami League party have been widely reported in local media.
He became a nationally reviled figure after the disaster, with survivors recounting how they were slapped and threatened into working on the day of the collapse.
Rescue workers struggled for weeks to retrieve the bodies from the ruins, but some of those in Rana Plaza that day are still unaccounted for.
“We haven’t got justice for nine years,” said former garment worker Rehana Akhter, 35, whose left leg was amputated after she was trapped in the complex.
“Of course we want justice. They should keep (Rana) alive so that he could look after the amputees like me and all other victims.”

Russia, US set for new call amid burst of Ukraine diplomacy
Feb 01 2022
Ukrainian military forces have been preparing for a possible Russian invasion
Moscow (AFP) - The top Russian and US diplomats were to speak again Tuesday amid intense efforts by NATO allies to prevent an invasion of Ukraine and to show support for Kyiv.
With tens of thousands of Russian troops massed on the Ukrainian border, Tuesday saw another burst of top-level diplomacy to try to head off a major conflict in Europe.
The British and Polish prime ministers were in Kyiv for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the Hungarian leader in Moscow and held a phone call with the Italian prime minister.
The flurry of talks were to culminate later Tuesday with a call between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who have been spearheading efforts to find a way out of the crisis.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is due in Ukraine in a show of support for Kyiv
Putin was also to give a press conference with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban after their talks, and could make his first major comments on the crisis in weeks.
Going in to the meeting with Orban, Putin reiterated that Moscow had sent proposals to Washington for “written commitments” on Russia’s demands for security guarantees from the West.
“I would like to assure you that no EU leader wants war or conflict, we are ready for a rational agreement, from the EU side,” Orban told the Russian leader.
- ‘Toughest sanctions ever’ -
Orban, one of Putin’s few allies among NATO and EU leaders, made the trip to Moscow in defiance of opposition parties who said it went against the country’s national interests.
Tensions between Russia and the West have been building for weeks, with Washington accusing Moscow of deploying more than 100,000 troops near the Ukrainian border and preparing an invasion of its pro-Western neighbour.
Russia denies any plans to invade but is demanding that Ukraine never be allowed to join NATO and a series of other security guarantees against the US-led military alliance’s expansion in the ex-Soviet bloc.
Russian military deployment on the borders with Ukraine
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi urged “a de-escalation of tensions” in a call with Putin on Tuesday, a day after French leader Emmanuel Macron spoke to Putin for the second time in four days.
Western leaders have repeatedly warned of “severe consequences” if Russia does invade, including wide-ranging and damaging economic sanctions.
Britain and the United States said Monday they were looking at targeting people in Putin’s inner circle, including powerful business allies.
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss told parliament that the government was putting through “the toughest sanctions regime against Russia we’ve ever had”.
“Those in and around the Kremlin will have nowhere to hide,” she said.
The United States and Britain have been at the forefront in warning of an invasion and have sent new shipments of weapons to shore up the Ukrainian military.
Ukrainian civilians have been training in armed defence in case of a Russian invasion
Before leaving for Kyiv, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed to “uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty in the face of those who seek to destroy it”.
Johnson and Zelensky will on Tuesday discuss the “ongoing Russian hostile activity”, a British statement said, covering “the full range of strategic UK support to Ukraine”.
- Ukraine to bolster military -
Zelensky said Kyiv was enjoying its biggest diplomatic and military support since Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, which prompted widespread condemnation and economic sanctions against Moscow.
“Everyone is coming to us. It is very important,” Zelensky told parliament.
The Ukraine leader announced plans to add 100,000 personnel to the armed forces over three years and end obligatory service, as Kyiv looks to professionalise its forces.
Ukraine’s military has been transformed with Western support over the past eight years, from a threadbare outfit that relied on volunteer fighters to a battle-hardened force.
“I want to assure you that today Ukraine has a stronger army than ever,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said at a meeting with his Polish counterpart.
Ukraine has been battling Moscow-backed insurgencies in two separatist regions since 2014, with more than 13,000 people killed in the conflict.
Kyiv has welcomed recent Western support, but Zelensky has warned against creating “panic” with talk of an invasion at any moment.
