NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS ✨🌙♒
January 29, 2025
“World Hold On”
The seed planted under this New Moon carries infinite possibilities and paths for growth. One thing is certain: this seed requires fresh soil, different choices, and unique care to flourish.
This is one of the most promising Moons of the year, bringing the first signs of a new era and the opportunity to revive and manifest our vision for the future. A future shaped by Pluto’s stay in Aquarius, promising revolutions, reforms, and radical changes on personal, social, economic, and political levels and signaling new roles, identities, and technological possibilities activated during this lunar cycle.
The year’s first New Moon occurs at 9°51’ Aquarius at 14:36 (Greek local time). It inspires you to think forward, set your terms in the area of life it activates, and embark on an optimistic new beginning. It encourages you to embrace your authenticity, to dare to be different, and to create a new perspective for your life—on your own or in collaboration with others. It reminds you that progress comes when you dare to step outside the ordinary, break norms, and transcend outdated beliefs, limitations, programming, or even past expectations.
This New Moon holds the potential for a new way of thinking, creating, and existing. It invites you to project yourself into the future and envision what kind of achievements, ideas, and relationships you want to fill your world with and what role you wish to play in this new age.
From Aquarius’s progressive, idealistic, and altruistic archetype, this lunation unlocks new possibilities, inspired ideas, and people or situations that propel you forward. It fosters a sense of belonging to something greater, inspiring connections or the formation of communities, groups, or “tribes” where shared values visions, ideals, or even a unique mission can flourish.
The modern ruler of this New Moon, Uranus in Taurus, is highly active as it stations direct just on January 30, accelerating developments. This celestial movement sets the stage of turbulence and unpredictability—social, political, economic, or even geophysical—prompting reform and awakening on both collective and personal levels.
At the same time, the traditional ruler Saturn in Pisces, forming a semi-square with Mercury and Pluto, reflects the pressure for evolution as well as the reservations we feel about destabilizing changes and the necessary transformations in the structures of our lives.
Yet, the harmonious trine between the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter in Gemini offers one of the most auspicious omens. It highlights the great potential to design, build, and promote something remarkable under this Moon. With Jupiter slow and powerful as it prepares to station direct (on February 4), the skies open, and everything becomes possible!
This blessed alignment with Jupiter—the planet of luck, expansion, abundance, and vision—offers remarkable opportunities for growth and elevation in this lunar cycle, especially benefiting those with personal planets or points in the early degrees of air and fire signs. This influence strengthens faith, optimism, and hope, encouraging us to recognize and seize opportunities that may have been overlooked in the past. It also brings knowledge, ideas, and past connections that could offer a fresh perspective and help us make a significant leap forward.
On a collective level, retrograde Jupiter urges us to reassess outdated ideas and values. It invites us to plant the seeds for new ideologies and achievements, particularly in education, technology, and communication. By reevaluating old patterns and taking bold steps forward, we can build on the wisdom of past experiences.
With Mercury in Aquarius separating from a conjunction with Pluto, adds depth and richness to our communication and thinking. This aspect enhances our ability to view challenges from fresh perspectives, resolve complex problems, and access the information we need to move forward confidently.
The avant-garde mindset of Mercury in Aquarius combined with Pluto’s penetrating insight, heightens our interest in metaphysics, psychology, sciences, and esotericism. This influence enables us to solve mysteries, uncover hidden truths, and heal through communication. It also supports technological and scientific discoveries, changing our understanding of the world and fostering a more holistic approach to common issues.
Mercury’s conjunction with the fixed star Altair (from the Aquila constellation, nature of Mars-Jupiter) enhances mental sharpness, higher vision, ambition, and determination. This provides the strength to pursue bold ventures and achieve goals with focus and precision.
Venus in sextile to Uranus awakens fresh desires, sparks new romances, and inspires us to approach relationships, creativity, and values differently. Beauty shines when we leave room for surprise, and this aspect could spark revelations in our romantic lives, proving that magic often lies in the unpredictable.
Venus’s applying conjunction with Neptune and alignment with the North Node in Pisces, signals that love is the ultimate inspiration and answer to all. This celestial harmony—especially relevant to the mutable signs and water signs in the late degrees—brings heightened romance, empathy, and compassion. It invites us to embrace imperfections, trust in the process, and surrender to the dream and the magic of deeper soul connections. This energy aligns us with our higher selves and purpose, allowing us to see more beauty and divine presence in ourselves, others, and the world around us.
This New Moon also marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year of the Wood Snake, heralding a time of introspection, personal growth, renewal, and transformation. The element of wood symbolizes balance, stability, creativity, and rewards for cooperation and effort. The snake, a symbol of mystery, wisdom, patience, adaptability, and intuition, represents the power of transformation and rebirth. Together, these energies guide us to move strategically, make thoughtful decisions, and leave behind what no longer serves us. They encourage us to explore life and ourselves more deeply, laying the foundation for a better future and lasting prosperity.
The Sabian symbol for this New Moon’s degree, “Popularity that provesephemeral,” reminds us to deconstruct outdated models and idols, reevaluate them, and interact with others based on authenticity rather than appearances or external achievements. This influence helps us discern what is genuine for our soul’s growth and evolution, inspiring us to dedicate ourselves to it, regardless of external recognition or approval.
Everything points to a lunar cycle where we must release outdated patterns, embrace or initiate changes, and redefine our purpose to live with truth and authenticity.
Let us draw inspiration from the wisdom of the Wood Snake, reminding us that our power lies in flexibility and the art of right timing and true freedom comes from abandoning who we think we should be and embracing who we truly are.
Wishing you all a blessed and magical New Moon! ✨🌌🚀☮🕊
With love💓💓💓
