New Moon in Aquarius - January 29, 2025
On Wednesday January 29, 2025 at 4:35 AM PST and 7:35 AM EST, the moon begins a new cycle in the rebellious, radical, and innovative sign of Aquarius. This sign asks us to think outside the box, challenges the status quo, and approaches change with a brilliant mind. This New Moon coincides with the beginning of the Year of the Snake and beckons us toward a path of renewal and profound transformation. It invites us to envision a new reality, to shed old patterns, and to unlock the potential for profound change. Freedom and autonomy are what this lunation wants most for us. To claim these gifts, we must step out of our comfort, embrace the unfamiliar, and chase our dreams with unwavering resolve, while dealing with any obstacles that stand in our way.
Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius, the planet of sudden awakenings and unexpected shifts, stations direct on January 30 in the sign Taurus after being Retrograde since September 1, 2024. As this unpredictable planet resumes its forward motion, expect the unexpected. Stagnant situations may suddenly change, relationships may undergo profound transformations, and career paths may veer off in surprising new directions. Embrace this period as an opportunity for growth and liberation. Allow Uranus to shake loose attachments to the past, paving the way for a more authentic and fulfilling expression of your true self.
Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good luck, is making a helpful alignment to this New Moon. This will help us broaden our horizons, think big, and embrace the allure of new possibilities. However, we must also remain mindful of Jupiter's expansive nature, for it can sometimes lead to excess and overindulgence. Be mindful of your emotions, for they may expand and lead to emotional outbursts. Sidenote: Jupiter stations direct on February 4th.
As Uranus and Jupiter station direct, aligning with the visionary energy of Aquarius, we are on the cusp of a significant shift. Fresh perspectives will emerge, illuminating our path with newfound clarity. Breakthroughs will appear, shattering the limitations of the past and ushering in a period of unprecedented growth. These planetary shifts have the potential to revitalize our spirits, rekindling our creative fire, and awaken a profound sense of optimism and possibility.
Mercury, the planet of communication and perception, forms a powerful conjunction to Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, the planet of transformation, in the progressive sign of Aquarius, and is a key alignment to this New Moon. This suggests that unconscious material is activated and some of our buried truths and suppressed desires are brought to the surface. Our thoughts, emotions, and deeply ingrained patterns, previously operating in the shadows, will now come to light, demanding our attention As these hidden aspects of ourselves become conscious, we are presented with an opportunity for significant transformation.
Thanks to Mercury's influence, these profound insights can be more readily articulated and integrated. This alignment invites us to transform our mindset, to reframe our narratives, and to embrace a more authentic and integrated expression of self. This conjunction can feel helpful, but it can also feel intense. If you’d like some guidance on how to understand what’s present in your own chart and how to navigate through some aspects of what feels difficult right now, reach out, and let’s talk about what type of session might be right for you.
Just a reminder that Mars, the trailblazer and warrior planet, is still backtracking through Cancer until February 23. As mentioned in previous posts, the purpose is to pause, to decelerate our pace, and to engage in deep introspection regarding our true desires. In many ways it can feel like an internal battle about where we invest our precious energy and time.
Overall, this Aquarian New Moon invites us to consider what role we’d like to have in the collective and how we’d like to challenge the structures that are already in place. On a personal level, we have an opportunity to get clear about the direction we’re headed and to make sure we are aligned with our values and aspirations. Embrace the shift that’s happening and be ready for something new. The coming weeks offer a period of stability and healing, allowing us to cultivate a sense of inner peace while simultaneously nurturing our dreams and honing our intuitive discernment.
