A New Moon in Aquarius Tarot Spread

With so much creativity bursting left and right, we are indeed living in the Age of Aquarius - which have a dual nature. While offering deep meaning and unique insight into human nature, they are sometimes presented in such a way as to be next to completely unintelligible to the average viewer. A creative mind of the Aquarius overflowing with genuinely good ideas that may make the world a better place is, more often than not, unable to communicate them in a way that is digestible by the public. This, in short, encapsulates some of the odder tendencies of the average member of this sign.

What the New Moon in Aquarius Will Be About

With the New Moon reigning supreme, even if for a short while, some of the more peculiar sides of the Aquarius' personality may come to the fore. In this period, they are likely to exhibit strange emotional detachment that will baffle those around them. In general, they tend to ask exceptionally awkward questions but fail to listen to the answer - they make automatic assumptions based on their own, inner criteria that makes logical sense only to them and no one else on the planet. Their ideas and opinions may sometimes bend on the extreme and leave others in shock over their perceived lack of empathy.

Expressing Your Uniqueness and Empathy for the Aquarius New Moon

Even if they do have human feelings (and they most certainly do), these can appear non-existent due to the Aquarius' aloofness and refusal to openly communicate them to others. Instead, the seem almost to enjoy the confusion they cause with their peculiar observations and behavior that borders on the bizarre, enjoying the shock value it generates and almost feeding on the attention of others. While this may sometimes be entertaining, it is not always productive.

It is thus important to make an effort to understand that we still need to communicate with others in a language that they understand and not make ourselves as eccentric as possible. Creating confusion and emphasizing our uniqueness and natural intelligence may be a fun game, a party trick if you will, but doesn't always fare well in the real world and may land us in trouble. Instead, it is better to polish our act and make an endeavor to communicate our innermost thoughts in an intelligible manner.

There are plenty of positive sides to the energy the Aquarius emanates that can help rectify the situation. Its love of peace and harmony, its truly enlightened nature and ability to understand everyone, its genuinely brilliant mind are but a few traits we can learn a lot from. By taking inspiration from this peacemaker of the zodiac and showing you true colors, you can help bring harmony to the world, harmony you yourself crave as much as others do, obliterate any confusion and open up the lines of clear communication, sharing wisdom and love, and being ready to receive them in return.
