Season 2022 of Aquarius begins on January 19 and ends on February 18. Aquarius is the star sign of cooperation and technology, thus Aquarius season 2022 is a great time to come together for a similar cause, both online and in person.

On February 1, 2022, what will the Moon look like?
On Tuesday, February 1, 2022, the lunar phase is New Moon. The Moon disc’s surface is not lighted. The Moon is in Aquarius for less than a day. This New Moon phase begins at 05:46 UTC on February 1, 2022.
When is the next full moon in February 2022?
The next full Moon will occur at 11:57 a.m. EST on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022, when it will appear opposite the Sun in Earth-based longitude. From China Standard Time eastward to the International Date Line, this will happen on Thursday morning. Around this period, the Moon will be full for nearly three days, from around midnight Tuesday morning to around midnight Thursday night. Regulus will be the brilliant star visible near the full Moon.
One Moon, Many Names
In the 1930s, the Maine Farmers’ Almanac began publishing Native American names for full Moons, which have since become well-known and used. Because of the massive snows that fall in this season, the tribes of what is now the northeastern United States dubbed the full Moon in February the Snow Moon or the Storm Moon, according to this almanac. Because hunting was difficult due to bad weather and severe snowstorms, this Moon was also known as the Hunger Moon. January and February are closely equal as the snowiest months of the year (with February 1/10 inch ahead) according to NOAA monthly averages for the Washington, D.C. area airports (DCA and IAD) from 1991 to 2020.
The Wolf Moon, according to some accounts, is an old European term for this full Moon. The Candles Moon is another European name for the moon, which is associated with Candlemas on February 2nd.
The big celebration of Purim will be celebrated next month, as there are two months of Adar in the Hebrew calendar this year, and this full Moon corresponds to Purim Katan, or “Little Purim.”
The Chinese Lantern Festival will take place on February 15, 2022. On the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, this is the customary finale of the Chinese New Year celebrations.
This full Moon (Purnima) is Magha Purnima, the last day of the month of Magha, according to the Purnimanta tradition, which finishes the months on the full Moon day. Magha is the month in the Hindu and Buddhist calendars when the full Moon is in the lunar mansion that contains the star Regulus. Magha is a month of austerity, charitable acts, and ritual bathing in a sacred river for Hindus.
For Buddhists, the full Moon coincides with Mgha Pj, the year’s second-most important holiday. Mgha Pj is observed in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Sri Lanka on the full Moon day of the third lunar month, and in Myanmar on the full Moon day of Tabaung. It commemorates the Buddha’s meeting with 1,250 of his first pupils, which, according to legend, preceded the monks’ practice of reciting discipline on a regular basis.
Buddhists commemorate the birth of an ideal and exemplary community on this day, which is why it is sometimes referred to as Sagha Day, with Sagha referring to the Buddhist community. The Pli word Mgha-praam is also used in Thailand for the festivity. This day is referred to as Buddhist All Saints Day by some authors. This full Moon is known in Sri Lanka as Navam Poya, and it is celebrated with a procession of over 5,000 people and several elephants known as Gangaramaya Navam.
The Moon’s Connection to Calendars
The months change with the new Moon in most lunar and lunisolar calendars, and full Moons occur in the middle of the lunar month. This full Moon falls in the middle of the Chinese calendar’s first month, the Hebrew calendar’s first Adar, and the Islamic calendar’s first Rajab. Rajab is one of the four sacred months in which no fighting or combat is permitted.
In appreciation of the full Moon, as is customary, donning appropriately joyful celestial apparel is encouraged. Keep warm, be aware of snowstorms, avoid starting wars, and, when the weather permits, take advantage of these early nightfalls to get out, look up, and share the wonders of the sky!
As for other celestial events between now and the full Moon after next (with specific times and angles based on the location of NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.):

Morning twilight will begin at 6:00 a.m. EST on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 (the day of the full Moon), sunrise will be at 6:58 a.m., solar noon will be at 12:22:07 p.m. when the Sun reaches its maximum altitude of 38.97 degrees, sunset will be at 5:47 p.m., and evening twilight will end at 6:45 p.m.
On Saturday, March 12, the day before Daylight Saving Time begins, morning twilight begins at 5:27 a.m. EST, dawn is at 6:24 a.m., sunset is at 6:12 p.m., and evening twilight ends at 7:10 p.m.
Morning twilight will begin at 6:25 a.m. EDT on March 13, sunrise will be at 7:22 a.m., sunset will be at 7:13 p.m., and evening twilight will conclude at 8:11 p.m. Morning twilight will begin at 6:17 a.m. EDT on Friday, March 18 (the day following the full Moon), dawn will be at 7:15 a.m., solar noon will be at 1:16:02 p.m. when the Sun reaches its highest altitude of 50.37 degrees, sunset will be at 7:18 p.m., and evening twilight will conclude at 8:16 p.m.
Evening Sky Highlights
As evening twilight ends (at 6:45 p.m. EST) on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 (the day of the full Moon), the bright planet Jupiter will be setting on the western horizon. Near the brilliant star Regulus, the full Moon will seem about 9 degrees above the east-northeastern horizon.
The bright stars of our home galaxy’s local arm, including the constellation Orion, will be visible stretching from the southeastern horizon to the northwest. The brightest star in our night sky, Sirius, will be visible 25 degrees above the southeastern horizon. Capella, at 78 degrees above the northeastern horizon, will be the brightest star visible closest to overhead. Capella appears to us as a single star (the sixth brightest in our night sky), but it is actually made up of four stars (two pairs of stars orbiting each other). Capella is 43 light-years away from Earth.
Each evening, the background of stars will appear to shift westward as the moon cycle proceeds (although it is actually the Earth that is moving around the Sun toward the East). Although Jupiter will have set, it may be visible low on the western horizon for a few more evenings after sunset (until about Feb.24).
On March 4, the waxing crescent Moon, often known as the Wet or Cheshire Moon, will appear in the western sky as a smile. On March 8, the waxing Moon will pass near the Pleiades, on March 12, the bright star Pollux, and on March 15, the bright star Regulus.
As evening twilight ends (at 8:16 p.m. EDT) on Friday, March 18, 2022 (the day of the next full Moon), the full Moon will appear around 4 degrees above the eastern horizon. The brilliant stars of our home galaxy’s local arm will appear to extend out from the south-southeast to the northwest. The brightest star in our night sky, Sirius, will be visible 34 degrees above the southern horizon.
Pollux (the brighter of the twin stars in the constellation Gemini) will appear closest to overhead at 75 degrees above the southeastern horizon. Pollux is a 34-light-year-distance orange-tinted star. It has a diameter of 9 times that of our Sun and a brightness of 33 times that of our Sun.
Morning Sky Highlights
As morning darkness begins (at 6:00 a.m. EST) on February 16, 2022 (the day of the full Moon), the bright planet Venus will appear 15 degrees above the southeastern horizon. Mercury, which will be visible 3 degrees above the east-southeastern horizon, will be the second brightest planet. At 10 degrees above the southeastern horizon, Mars will appear to the lower right of Venus. The full Moon will be seen near the brilliant star Regulus, low on the west-northwestern horizon.
Arcturus, at 63 degrees above the southwestern horizon, will be the brightest star visible closest to overhead. Arcturus is the fourth brightest star in our night sky, located 36.7 light-years away. While it has a mass similar to our Sun, it is 2.6 billion years older and has used up its core hydrogen, transforming into a red giant 25 times the size and 170 times the brightness of our Sun.
The background of stars will appear to shift westward each morning as the lunar cycle proceeds, but not the planets. Venus and Mars will continue in close proximity to one another and in roughly the same section of the sky. Venus will continue to shine brightly, as it did earlier this month when it was at its brightest for the year. Each morning, Mercury will appear to migrate to the bottom left. The planet Saturn will begin to emerge from the dawn glow around February 20th, rising more than 30 minutes before sunrise.
On February 21, the waning gibbous Moon will pass close to the brilliant star Spica. As morning twilight begins, Venus will be at its peak over the southeastern horizon (15.5 degrees). On February 24, the half Moon will appear near the brilliant star Antares. On February 27, the crescent Moon will appear near Mars, forming a line with Venus.
Mercury will likewise be seen above the east-southeastern horizon as morning twilight begins on this morning, however it may still be visible in the dawn glow until around March 13. On the east-southeastern horizon on February 28, you might be able to see the planet Mercury to the left of the thin, waning crescent Moon, with the fainter planet Saturn to the lower left of Mercury.
Saturn will rise around 7 minutes after morning twilight begins, and the sky will become too bright to see these planets in less than 20 minutes. The planets Mercury and Saturn will be closest to each other low in the east-southeastern horizon on March 2nd, rising after morning darkness begins. To see them in the dawn glow, you’ll need a clean view of the east-southeastern horizon and probably binoculars. Before morning twilight begins on March 5, Saturn will rise in the east-southeast, shifting toward Venus and Mars over the next few mornings.
Despite the fact that Venus and Mars will have passed close to each other throughout the lunar cycle, they will be at their closest on March 16th morning.
As morning twilight begins (at 6:17 a.m. EDT) on March 18, 2022 (the day after the full Moon), the bright planet Venus will appear 12 degrees above the east-southeastern horizon, followed by Saturn at 5 degrees above the east-southeastern horizon, and Mars to the lower right of Venus at 10 degrees above the southeastern horizon.
15 degrees above the western horizon, the full Moon will appear. Vega, at 70 degrees above the eastern horizon, will be the brightest star visible closest to overhead. Vega is the brightest of the three stars in the Summer Triangle and the fifth brightest star in our night sky. Vega is roughly twice the mass of our Sun, 40 times brighter, and 25 light-years away.
Overthinker
You are a deep thinker as an Aquarius Moon, to the point that you can become lost in thinking. People think of you as a worrier who spends much too much time overthinking things to the point where they make no sense.
However, when you are left to think things out on your own, in private, you are generally able to come up with the appropriate solution to whatever difficulty you are presented with.
When the moon is in Aquarius, what happens?
It’s time to strike a balance between your personal interests and the sacrifices you make to gain the attention of others during the New Moon and Full Moon in Aquarius.

Do we live in the Age of Aquarius?
The Age of Aquarius is now in full swing. For many, there was a noticeable shift in energy from 2020 to 2021, albeit both years were a roller coaster. Apart with navigating the Covid era, we’ve also been told that we’ve entered a new astrological phase.
What makes it unique? That’s where things get a bit tricky, but we’ve sought the expertise of psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman to help us figure it out. However, keep in mind that the Age of Aquarius is frequently linked to social action, equality, and advancement. Finally. Everything you need to know is right here…
What will the Age of Aquarius bring?
When I learnt that we were about to enter a new erathe Age of Aquariusall I could think of was the song of the same name from the musical Hair, which I had seen at least half a dozen times in the 1960s. At the same time, I remembered the psychedelic shops I frequented as a kid in the New York suburbs, as well as the joy I felt when my parents let me go to Woodstock.
Originally, the song was linked to the astrological sign Aquarius, which represents a constellation of stars. It was also linked to a sort of revolution, a movement in world thinking and behavior. More recently, the Age of Aquarius brought about a tremendous astrological shift. Many people believe that December 21 marked the actual start of this epoch, as it was also the winter solstice and the day of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s uncommon alignment. This happens once every 20 years or so; nevertheless, the planets were closer than they’d been in 800 years during the most recent incident.
Technically, the exact date of the transition to the Age of Aquarius is unknown. The transition from one generation to the next is a gradual process. It isn’t certain, but most people in the spiritual community believe it is close.
Astrologers say that the Age of Aquarius, like the 1960s revolution, will usher in social, political, personal, and intellectual change. This could be linked to the forthcoming presidential changeover in the United States for individuals who live there. Aquarians, according to astrology, frequently know what we need before we do, and while they may appear detached, they sincerely believe in fostering the good in people, even if it means a massive revolution.
Aquarius is the sign of collaboration, so the Age of Aquarius is a moment for us to come together as a community. This is in stark contrast to how we’ve been living during the COVID-19 pandemic for the past yearisolated from one another and living in our own little worlds.
Furthermore, the epidemic appears to be a schism between the ages. As 2020 was a transition year highlighted by a lot of once-in-a-lifetime occurrences, there was a major shift in energies, both personally and worldwide, and it truly feels like we’re entering a new age.
We’ve all had to make significant changes in our personal and professional life as a result of the pandemic. Many of us in our 60s and beyond are at high risk, and we’ve had to isolate ourselves from loved ones we’d seen on a regular basis. Children and college students who were previously enrolled in school found themselves back at home, strained by the lack of social connections that come with academic life.
The Age of Aquarius is also a moment of increased consciousness, when we can regain control of the planet and become more conscious of human rights. It’s a period of increased collaboration and relationships with like-minded people. Some people may even feel compelled to help others achieve enlightenment. There will also be a greater emphasis on freedom and independence, as well as possible revolutions against the control of our life by computer technology and science.
Many of us already feel like we can expand our lungs and take a big breath of relief as we see a new year and a new period on the horizon, as the shift brings positivity into our lives. We can accomplish this transformation even in the midst of a pandemic. In other ways, it’s about banding together and saying “we” instead of “me.” There’s no denying that we’re all here for a reason, and now is the time to figure out what that reason is so that we can make a difference in our communities and around the world.
Pandemics give excellent possibilities for development and change, and we should all work together to overcome them!
