Welcome Aquarius New Moon
Aquarius New Moon January 29, 2025
WOW! We are only 29 days in January and the Aquarius New Moon, which peaks on Wednesday, is calling for the truth can feel like Pandora’s box has been opened as it will be lending energy to this seeming chaos. This is a Moon that marks the start of a new 6 month Lunar Cycle, where it’s time for you to really listen to what the people around you are communicating…as well as to what your deepest self desires for you to understand. This moon will be about where issues like freedom of speech, censorship and disclosure can be big collective topics…remember that buddhist saying – there are three things that can’t be hidden: the Sun, the Moon and the Truth. This is a time when all three are being revealed.
Themes: Censorship, Free Speech, Disclosure, Bringing up the truth. Uncomfortable much?
FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND CENSORSHIP
As this New Moon will align with Mercury, Pluto in Aquarius you can find that there is a lot of focus on freedom of speech, as well as censorship and where information is suppressed. This is an energy that cannot be sustained under this Moon, as Pluto acts like a plunger to bring everything from the ‘underworld’ up. It can feel energetically exhausting and equally inspiring at the same time. The key to working with this Moon is remembering that the external world is a reflection of the internal. So consider where you are ready to open up to more truth in your life, where you are prepared to use your voice as a revolutionary force for good and also where you might be suppressing someone else’s truth or opinion because it doesn’t match your own…through the simple act of not wanting to listen to it.
A TIME TO LAY INTENTIONS
As this is a New Moon we’re in a part of the lunar cycle where it’s time to consider what you want to co-create (with the Divine Mother Moon) over the coming 6 months to the Aquarius Full Moon on the 9th of August. This is going to be a period of immense change around communication, technology and freedom of information – thanks to Aquarius’ ruler Uranus moving into Gemini in July. This is giving you indications that the intention you need to lay must be focus on what is true…not what is conventional or accepted. In fact this is the perfect Moon to be challenged by the energy that wants to be birthed through you over this lunar cycle. Let these seeds awaken within you greater authenticity, honesty and rebellion.
We can’t know if what is happening around us is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ (which is what the ego always likes to categorize the world into); but we can anchor in the idea that everything is happening for the greatest + highest good for the evolution of our souls. Something our ego has no idea about (as much as it would like to). So whatever happens – conversations, disclosure, awakening – hold out hope and watch how the universe shifts in response.
INSTEAD OF SPEAKING: LISTEN!
This is a New Moon that demands silence so that you can hear what is being said, as well as be really aware of when you aren’t listening, or when you find it hard to listen because someone is disagreeing with you. In these moments see if you can drop the words you want to say, and see if there is something here that you need to learn.
ARIES:You’re one “hello” away from meeting the right people, Aries. Get socially involved, as the new moon in Aquarius mobilizes your eleventh house of greater community, friendship, and aspirations. Although your current social circles are fine, you might be ready for something new and different. Your unique interests could drive you to meet like-minded people who share your hobbies, attitudes, and mindsets. There might be a desire to befriend highly individualistic people who will encourage you to be confident in your authenticity. As you navigate this lunar chapter, be open to connecting with individuals from all walks of life. You never know who you could become best friends with.
TAURUS: Dare to be different, Taurus. Do something radical when the new moon in Aquarius hits your tenth house of legacy, success, and reputation. The new moon in Aquarius is your reminder that you only live once. It’s time to stray from your tried and true ways to go after something big. You could use this lunar cycle to pursue an unusual, unconventional career path or professional goal. The lunar cycle could also help you courageously pursue personal milestones and accomplishments unlike anything you have achieved before. Just know that your reputation may change, since you could become a well-known risk-taker in your professional arena and personal life.
GEMINI: Go against the grain, Gemini. It’s time to forge your own path, since the new moon in Aquarius will awaken your ninth house of journeying and expansion. You owe it to yourself to get out of your comfort zone. The lunar cycle will help you push through anything you decide to accomplish. You could set a goal for educational advancement, especially if you pursue an unusual degree or certification. It might be time to travel to foreign cities and countries that you might have been afraid to visit before. Most importantly, the lunar cycle will help you find comfort in your unique perspective as you grow from your individualistic experiences.
CANCER: Risks can lead to rewards, Cancer. Take a leap of faith when the new moon in Aquarius radicalizes your eighth house of assets and debts, losses and gains. Usually, you might try to detach from your needs, such as wanting intimate relationships and financial power. Everything could change during this six-month lunar cycle if you bravely pursue your desires. You may have to put yourself out there to get what you want. It might start with sharing more of your secrets with your loved ones to deepen your connections. You could also accept and ask for help with financial ventures. Whatever you do, you may have to lose something to gain something greater.
LEO: Friendships could develop into something more, Leo. Your connections will evolve in unexpected yet exciting ways once the new moon in Aquarius activates your seventh house of contracts and commitments. Someone could become your everything during this six-month lunar cycle. The new moon in Aquarius could help you manifest professional and romantic possibilities for partnership. But instead of diving right in, you may want to take it slow. Build rapport with each person who interests you. Let the friendships grow before entertaining romantic, professional, and financial possibilities. If someone feels like the right fit, make your commitment to them official by the end of the lunar cycle.
VIRGO: Stop worrying about fitting in, Virgo. You are destined to stand out, as the new moon in Aquarius rebels in your sixth house of mundane activities. As the new lunar cycle begins, you may feel like everything is about to change. Your work life could transform if you pursue niche job positions, adopt a unique work schedule, and improve your productivity through progressive habits. Your health will be impacted if you are open to personalized workout regimes and dietary aides. Most importantly, the new moon in Aquarius will encourage you to stop caring about what others do with their jobs, health, and lives so you can focus on yourself.
LIBRA: What do you like to do, Libra? Give yourself room to explore your interests when the new moon in Aquarius highlights your fifth house of pleasure, fun, and creation. This could be an exciting lunar cycle. However, you will only enjoy it if you stop worrying about others’ opinions of whatever makes you happy. Who cares what someone has to say about your hobbies, passions, and love life? Only you should care about these things, and how each outlet makes you feel. If you can overcome the fear of being judged, you will flourish. Everything that makes you feel fulfilled will take off if you get out of your own way.
SCORPIO: Are you the black sheep, Scorpio? Consider why you feel isolated by your so-called loved ones, since the new moon in Aquarius will ostracize your fourth house of home and family. The following six months could be emotionally turbulent. You may struggle to find your place in your home life among your relatives. As you process why you feel ostracized by your family, you may remember things from your childhood that could either confirm or contradict your feelings. It depends on your self-awareness and family dynamics. Either way, you will know where you fall in the family tree by the end of the six-month lunar cycle.
SAGITARIUS: Eureka, Sagittarius! Your unpredictability will catalyze new conversations, as the new moon in Aquarius shakes up your third house of communication and media. Whatever comes to mind could become a landmark conversation, idea, and project during the six-month lunar cycle. You may feel initially doubtful if you think of something outlandish. After all, you may not be the kind of person who has remarkably odd interests and daring opinions. But you might become incredibly successful if you trust your unique perspective. Your rule of thumb should be the weirder, the better. Trust the process, since your life could change with one unconventional hot take.
CAPRICORN: Screw capitalism, Capricorn. Break away from rigid financial institutions and expectations when the new moon in Aquarius agitates your second house of value systems. The new lunar cycle may feel initially scary, since you may feel strongly about sticking to your usual financial habits, opportunities, and more. However, the radical Aquarius energy will help you consider the alternative over the next six months. You might become more open-minded to new financial possibilities, like trying side hustles and applying for jobs outside your usual scope. Different approaches to saving and spending money will also change your mind. Give something new a chance, even if it’s not what you would typically do.
AQUARIUS: Just be yourself, Aquarius. Set the intention to take up space once the new moon in Aquarius envelops your first house of selfhood. Typically, you may prefer to separate yourself from the crowd mostly due to fear of judgment and being perceived. However, this aloof attitude and detached mindset will not serve you anymore. As the new six-month cycle begins, you are encouraged to show up in all you do. You deserve to be seen for who you are, which you can express through your actions, disposition, and appearance. Give yourself permission to be confidently authentic and individualistic. You will not regret using this lunar cycle to work on your self-assurance.
PISCES: Only boring people get bored, Pisces. Create a world of your own when the new moon in Aquarius dreams in your twelfth house of the subconscious realm. You already resonate with dreamworlds and far-off lands, so this new moon in Aquarius will make you feel right at home. Your imagination and visions will give way to magical realism. As this lunar cycle unfolds, you could feel inspired to do something with your fantasies. Whatever you imagine doesn’t have to remain in la la land. You could turn your daydreams into something more, like a work of art. Let your mind roam, and see what you come up with by the end of the lunar cycle.
