New Moon in Aquarius

When it comes to 2025’s lunations, the New Moon in airy-dream-driven Aquarius is one of the most promising.

Unfolding on January 29th, inspiration and hope become our guiding ideals over the next several months. Trine an equally brilliant (albeit busy) Jupiter, La Luna and the Sun are gifted with magnanimousness and joyful growth. This makes for magnificent opportunities to grow not only our aspirations, but to also expand our Soul Tribe. With this energy, we have a golden ticket to share our deepest wishes with those who hold the same values dear. To put into action not only our mind’s wildest dreams, but to do it with heart, empathy, and intuition.

Tied together with the Mercury-Pluto conjunction in this same sign, there’s the promise that whatever we orient our intellect towards will bear fruit. So intense is this cerebral desire to know, to understand, to evolve and influence, that we will stop at nothing to ensure our visions are manifested into reality.

There is the chance that the Plutonian energy may also manifest obsession and the tendency to control the narrative: each sign has its shadows, after all. The cosmic reminder with Aquarius is that, despite its immense knowledge, we are still not Gods. We are not the first and last stop of all information. We are simply conduits, guides, facilitators, teachers, and mentors. Humility is key, lest we fall victim to hubris. For even great Icarus, in his obsession to achieve his goal, flew just a little too close to the Sun.

Thus, let us learn from these stories, from mythology. Let us reach for the highest outcome, yet know when it’s time to rest our laurels and allow for grace to do the rest.

Saturn’s governorship of this New Moon as the traditional, ancient ruler of Aquarius brings a sense of grounding and a firm reality check. Yet, with his placement in Pisces, there’s also sensitivity, compassion, and vulnerability. This is the perfect polarity to the often-notorious Aquarius detachment. Although Aquarius has the good of humanity at heart, their tendency is to, very often, forget all about the human, the individual in the pursuit of a bigger vision.

With Saturn’s trine to Mars, we’re able to bring forth discipline, structure, and a deeper responsibility to do whatever we do with our hearts at the very core. The mind, whilst a wonderful servant, can quickly become a dominating master. This Saturn-Mars energy ensures that we’re not solely driven by intellect. It reminds us that when mind and soul align, we create the most powerful combination, allowing us to give birth to a new reality.

Thus, consciously aligning our energy towards achieving our dearest wish is the gift of this New Moon. Educating ourselves, becoming the Archetype of both Teacher and Student - this is what will allow for endless inspiration to arise in the months to come.
