Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights from the most tuned in readers of the stars….
First from the always inspiring Kelley Rosano:
“The Aquarius New Moon On January 30 is a SuperMoon. A SuperMoon means that the Moon is closest to the Earth and in direct alignment with the Sun and the Earth. This makes it extra potent.
“There are two New Moons in January. Both are SuperMoons. Wow! This is a double new beginning. Pause, breathe and digest what is happening with you.
“The Capricorn New Moon educated you on power and control. How you use power. How you own your power. And/or how you give your power away. This is the year to empower yourself…”
“The Aquarius New Moon represents freedom and liberation. Liberate your mind first and your freedom will follow. Aquarius reminds you to follow the beat of your own drum. Be unique. Be original. Be who you really are. Take a walk on the weird side of life. You may find a part of yourself that has been begging for expression. This is the Aquarian New Moon message.
“The Sun and Moon are coupled in Aquarius offering you a fresh outlook on life. There are no challenging aspects to this New Moon. In fact, Uranus, Aquarius modern ruler is in a harmonious aspect with both lights (Sun and Moon). This positive energy can be utilized to further your dreams, goals and pursuits.
“A new cycle is beginning for you. The Aquarius New Moon can empower you to move in a bold direction. You may break free from bad habits and relationships. You could awaken to your divine destiny. You are no longer distracted by fear and doubt. You are ready to be who you were born to be. You are prepared to stand in your divine power and shine your light. This energy promotes your creative self-expression…”
“The New Moon in Aquarius reminds you that you are the Star of your life. You are the Sun center of your universe. If your life is hard, look inside yourself and make the needed changes. Coach yourself.Be honest. Where are you giving your power away? What are doing that sabotages your success? The change you want to see in the world begins with you.
“Change your mind. You change your life. See your challenges from a different perspective. See your challenges as opportunities for growth. They keep your life fresh and lively. Your life can be much freer than you may have realized. In this way, new opportunities will emerge for you. Believe in your dreams coming true. Believe. When you wish upon a Star your dreams come true. The Star is shinning on you. The New Moon is lighting up a new path way for you. Perhaps it was there all along and now your eyes are opened.
“Dreams are the stepping stones of further expansion. Dream on.” –Ivo/Lisa Dorr
“Jupiter will be in opposition to Pluto on January 31. On the one hand, this can make you feel very ambitious. You will want to take charge of your life. You may feel bold in your convictions…observe when you may be pushing your ideals onto other people ”You want to practice the Law of Allowing. This is where you allow for different points of view. You respect the opinions of other people, even if their beliefs are not in alignment with your own.
“True power does not need those around you to agree with you.Authentic power is allowing everyone to find their own path to truth. This promotes diversity. This will support creativity, freedom and liberation for everyone…”
“Venus moves direct on January 31. Yeah! This is good news. You have had six- weeks to reflect on what you love and value. You were to look at your needs in relationships and finances. You were to look back and see if there was someone or something from your past. You may have left behind. You can include in your life.
“Venus in direct motion can increase your cash flow. Wise investments can be made. Venus has been dancing with Pluto for weeks.
“Power in relationships is the theme. Being honest, sincere and in your integrity. This is the best practice. This will keep you balanced. And, on track no matter how other people behave. Still, manipulation, hidden agendas, and jealousy often occur with Pluto/Venus contacts. These negative behaviors will take you off path and into a ditch. They do make for good TV drama. Yet, in real life this is destructive behavior. Controlling others for one’s own selfish desires are not the act of the spiritually evolved. Giving your power away to keep the peace is not love. This is fear…”
“Mercury the messenger enters Pisces on January 31. Mercury will be retrograde February 6 — 28…
“The Aquarian New Moon reminds you to use your power wisely.Be a force for good in the world. Be a conduit for Joy. Keep your ego on a short leash. Live from your soul. This is your creative power. You are master creator. You are co-creating with Source daily.
“Use the New Moon to create a new life. Don’t wait on other people. Take action today. What are three things that you can do to move your life in a new direction? Do three things every day that are forward focused. Change your life so that you have more freedom. Create the space for love to come to you. Do what makes you smile…”
“These SuperMoons strengthen the impact for change. This is setting the tone for the New Year. Get out of your own way. Move out of your comfort zone. Make bold beginnings. Uranus is encouraging you to have a fresh start. Be innovative. Don’t allow the negative ego to hold back your dreams.
“Get creative. If a door closes on you, then open a window.Climb out. Move on a new life path. Wherever the Aquarius New Moon lands in your natal chart is where you are being given a fresh start.
“Listen to your intuition. You intuition is your inner knowledge. Allow your Star, your Higher Self to guide you to new relationships and goals. Sudden unexpected opportunities can come to you from out of the blue. Your hopes and wishes realized. Your dreams come true. Be ready. In this way, you will seize the new potentials that are emerging in your life.”

“The New Moon in Aquarius is at 10ยบ 55’ degrees (say 11 degrees) on January 30th, 2014 and there are noticeable energetic and astrological shifts in motion. It is possible to have a brighter tone to the mental energy plus the new beginnings vibe of a new moon phase is an added benefit.
“The attention goes towards uplifting humanity yet starting with your local community and friendships. The Chinese New Year also is happening now and it is the Year of the Wood Horse.
”The Sun and Moon conjoin in the free-spirit of Aquarius. Aquarius is an air element and fixed mode of energy. Both luminaries are to work together in a team-like approach. The potential: uplifting community, humanity and raising consciousness on the planet.
“Having a song that plays the same tune, same instruments and using the same words over and over again may be a bit boring right? Incorporating other notes, instruments and words will add a bit of uniqueness to the song will make it more appealing. Similarly,it is a time to embrace our individuality.
“So what if we don’t fit into the crowd the ‘same mold’? It’s ok. You do fit in to the collective, you are a part of the whole while honoring your uniqueness. And you do have something wonderful to contribute.
“Liberate yourself to be your authentic self now under the New Moon in Aquarius. It is your life, your choice. Let your Inner Scientist and creative genius come out to express.
“The New Moon in Aquarius brings the message that it is important first embrace our uniqueness and quirks and then to do the same for others. It is also equally important to find ways of contributing to the overall well-being and upliftment of humanity.
“This New Moon, suggests we really dare to experiment and step outside of the status quo long enough to create a positive ripple in our lives and around us. Living in the future won’t make it a better today. Start with the fresh idea today and let it ripple into the future. Aquarius also is the sign that governs over future trends and the far out there approach.
“As we take a closer look, we are coming out of a Venus retrograde in a conservative sign such as Capricorn which is bound by time and tradition on one level. The innovative side of the New Moon in Aquarius helps to invigorate the energy and opportunities.
“This is a refreshing change and surely will help many people to shake up the norm and step out side of the same old same old. Test the waters. It is time to be inventive and experimental. Remember, even if we set the intention for the future, remember it is in this moment, her and now that we must take action for that idea to become tangible in the future.

“Venus has been retrograde in Capricorn since December 21st and goes direct the day after this New Moon, January 31. She is at her closest point to the Earth and disappeared from the night sky on January 5th and re-emerged as the Morning Star on January 17th.
“As Adam Gainsburg describes it in his book, The Light of Venus, Venus is in her ‘birth’ phase, a time of a new awakening feminine spirit. The Goddess has returned in our times as we saw when Venus went across the face of the Sun in 2004 and again in 2012. We are in the 2nd of 5 cycles of Venus, which started this time in 2012 and will end in 2020.
“…At this New Moon, Venus will be stationing conjunct to Pluto in Capricorn, opposite Jupiter in Cancer, squaring Uranus in Aries and Mars in Libra. She’s part of our on-going revolutionary square and grand cross. We’re adding our personal values to the cosmic revolution.
“…Venus turns direct at 14* Capricorn: An ancient bas-relief carved in granite remains as witness to a long-forgotten culture. This symbol asks us to unearth what is of eternal value and release what is superficial. We first do this within ourselves and then work together to bring about a new value system and a new paradigm of life, which is soul-full and attuned to the feminine dimensions of life.
“Some feminine archetypes have been added to astrology through the addition of the asteroids. At this New Moon, Juno, symbolizing our ideas of partnership, is in Pisces conjunct Chiron, the Wounded Healer and opposite Pallas Athena in Virgo. Our karmic patterns of relationship (Juno) are dissolving back into the Collective Unconscious (Pisces) and we are healing (Chiron) ourselves…”
“Ceres, the great Mother Goddess and Vesta, the goddess of fire and sexuality, are in the sign of Libra along with Mars. These energies can help us find ways for men and women to relate with each other in a more balanced and loving way, with mutual respect and courtesy.
“These feminine energies can teach us to trust ourselves and each other, if we each stay true to ourselves and bring our truth into the conversation.”

Lastly from Sarah Varcas from Astro-Awakenings.uk:
“Here we have the chance to think outside the box, or just recognize there was no box to start with – we made it up to keep us safe – but what was once refuge has now become a prison of rigid perspectives and worn out views…”
“..when we can remember that hope lives where the challenges do, we can overcome the black and white notion of right and wrong in favour of a more accepting view that when things don’t go as we’d planned it’s not the end of the world, because that’s when hope appears…”
”At this New Moon hope shines brightly, reminding us we don’t always know what’s best, no matter how right we may feel, and the intricate tapestry of life’s plan for us is often only fully appreciated once we have lived it and watched as the various bits drop into place over time.
“As we do this, hope can keep our faith and commitment alive. Which reveals just what the fresh perspective of this New Moon brings: the promise of possibility we had previously failed to recognise; the gift of potential that we didn’t spot before.
“There are new perspectives to be enjoyed now and this Moon reminds us that no matter how far we may have strayed from where we want to be, hope strays with us and can be released at any time to reframe our world and remind us that most things are rarely quite what they seem.”
