Special new moon February 1: how to attract good luck for the month

Next week will be the second new moon of the new year. In astrology, it is considered special for two reasons. First of all, because it is from this new moon that the new year according to the Chinese calendar will begin. In addition, the phase of Mercury retrograde will end, and the Moon will move from Capricorn into the sign of progressive Aquarius. This is an ideal time for beginnings and changes, which you need to use to the maximum. How to meet such a new moon and plan the new lunar month in the best way? An astropsychologist told about this on her YouTube channel Elena Osipenko.

New Moon and Chinese New Year

The new moon on February 1 will be the second new moon after the winter solstice. In the East, this is the most important date, which symbolizes the beginning of the new year. Since China is located closer to the equator, spring comes there earlier, and on such a second new moon, the Chinese celebrate Chun Ze or Spring Festival. Hopes for future family happiness, health and well-being are associated with this day in the East. We wrote in detail about the traditions of the celebration and how you can attract good luck at this time.

New Year in China comes according to the lunar calendar, but in this country another calendar system is in use - the solar one. The solar calendar is closely related to the five elements - these are Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

“In the cycle of creation, water feeds wood, wood becomes food for fire. Fire gives ashes and turns into earth. The earth, condensing, forms a metal, and it becomes a liquid. Then the cycle starts over,

- Elena Osipenko explains.

In 2022, just such a favorable cycle manifests itself: this year is patronized by the element of Water. But in addition, the year has its own patron. In addition to the lunar and solar calendar system, China has a 12-year animalistic cycle, according to which one of the 12 totem animals is responsible for each year. February 1, 2022 full-fledged Tiger becomes master of the year.

“The symbol of the Tiger is always associated with the element of Wood, but in 2022 Water is added to the element of Wood. This merging of two elements means a circle of generation,” says Elena Osipenko. – Water adds flexibility to the overall picture of the year. She extinguishes the aggression of the Tiger and pacifies him. Such a Tiger has more mercy and sensitivity to the needs of people, has the ability to control his desires and plan actions.

The Chinese recommend in the year of the Tiger to decide on cardinal changes, the expert continues. For example, change jobs and even the field of activity. It is good to study and master a new specialty this year. You can even change your place of residence.

Special New Moon: How to Prepare

The age-old Chinese traditions can be listened to or treated with skepticism. But what definitely should not be discounted is the effect of the phases of the moon on a person. “The exact phase of the February new moon will occur on February 1 at 7:47 am Kyiv time,” notes Elena Osipenko. Why is it important to know the exact time? Because at this moment we are laying the program for a month in advance. And the state in which we arrive, we transfer to a new cosmic cycle.

On the new moon, people can feel a breakdown, weakness and headaches, an astropsychologist warns. Therefore, you need to help your body and your soul move into a new monthly stage in a state of harmony, calmness and faith in the best. This state is usually helped by the completion of some business, the fulfillment of promises, as well as cleanliness in the house, which is better to restore the day before. Plus or minus a day from the moment of the new moon, it is advisable to fast, monitor your thoughts and words, and help your loved ones to be in high spirits.

“To some extent, this day and the very moment of the new moon can be celebrated as a holiday. Free up plus or minus an hour from the exact moment of the new moon, take stock of the past month, and be able to enter a new lunar cycle. At this moment, you need to think only about the good, form in your thoughts health, well-being, abundance for yourself and your family, ”

the expert recommends.

How to plan things for the new lunar month?

An hour before and after the exact phase of the new moon, you need to take time to plan for the next lunar month. To do this, Elena Osipenko advises paying attention to the movement of stars and planets. “Until February 4 inclusive, the period of retrograde Mercury lasts, which can slow down all our undertakings. Then Mercury makes a turn to its movement and has zero speed. Mercury should accelerate at least a little. So you need to start all your important things no earlier than February 7, and before that, use the time to prepare.

As soon as Mercury completes its retrograde path, there will be more than 2.5 months ahead for the activity of any life processes. This is almost the whole of February, the whole of March and April up to and including the 26th. It is important to remember here that any undertaking is best timed to coincide with the periods of the growing moon. In February, this period will last from the 1st to the 16th (full moon).

“You can use plus another week on the waning moon, but never start anything important a week before the next new moon, when the light of the moon is minimal,”

the astropsychologist warns.

If you do not have time to start a business on the growing moon in February, there will be another attempt in March. The period of the growing moon will pass from the 2nd to the 18th plus 7 days on the waning moon. The exception is five “zero” sunny days from March 16 to March 20. At this time, you should not change anything and launch new projects, says Elena Osipenko.

On the New Moon on February 1, the Moon will move from conservative Capricorn to progressive Aquarius. This is a sign of reformism, the introduction of new ideas and the transformation of consciousness. The inclusion of Aquarius energies sets the dynamics and rhythm for the entire lunar month, Elena Osipenko believes. Therefore, at this time, everything related to communication will be very successful - negotiations, conclusion of new contracts, training and the desire to keep up with the times.

Most of all, Aquarius is expected to be lucky. Representatives of this sign waited for their finest hour. “Be attentive to the signs of this lunar month and prepare the necessary reforms to progress in your life. This is especially true for people born from January 29 to February 4, ”the astropsychologist emphasizes.

Also, the lucky ones of this period can be representatives of the signs of Aries, Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius. A special new moon in Aquarius will harmoniously affect your future lunar period. Especially good time will be for people born from March 30 to April 5, from May 30 to June 5, from October 2 to 8 and from December 1 to 7. Do not oversleep your opportunities and be attentive to important signs on the path of your life.

But people born under the signs of Taurus, Leo and Scorpio will have to work hard this month. Especially those who were born from April 29 to May 5, from August 1 to 7 and from November 1 to 7. “Be vigilant and especially attentive in solving life problems. You will definitely win if you are patient and carry faith in yourself and your strength through this entire period, ”concludes Elena Osipenko.
