New Moon in Aquarius 29th January 12:36
Full Moon in Leo February 12th 2025

A New Moon in Aquarius is a lunar gift of intense clarity. Aquarius is the sign of truth and sharing knowledge for the greater good. It’s an auspicious reminder of our collective power – the ability to bring positive change when we align ourselves with people who share our vision and our values.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet that brings surprises and keeps things fresh but Saturn, Aquarius’ traditional ruling planet, also has an important role to play when it comes to committing to New Moon intentions. Saturn, now in Pisces, lends wisdom and guidance to wishes made under this New Moon. This planet ensures that we have learned from past mistakes and that new chapters are only embarked upon when we have put things which need closure, properly away. This may feel like it is tempering the excitement of Uranus, which turns direct just after this New Moon and is keen to get things moving, but discipline is necessary to make our efforts count.

Mercury and Pluto, the planet of Transformation and Taboo, make a conjunction to this New Moon, whilst Jupiter, retrograde and in Gemini, amplifies it. Aquarius is ruled by the element of Air so its energy is inquisitive and asks the question ‘Why?’. Defining our purpose underpins making changes which benefit us in the future. Without rational thinking to support us to reflect, progress would never be made. Reflection on the past allows us to move on to a brighter future. The emotional distance that comes with an Aquarian New Moon ensures that we see the wider impact of our choices. We can envisage the results of our efforts, visualise success, and commit to making the world a better place.

The gift of Aquarian vision is a bit like being able to zoom out. When we have that distance we can see that our own existence is part of something bigger. Everything and everybody is connected in an infinite chain of reaction. When we are conscious of this, we empower ourselves to use each tiny action for good. Jupiter is boosting the electrical feel of this New Moon and lending us good fortune and support for ideas born now. Its retrograde motion is helping us to reach back and grab opportunities and wishes that were not ready before, to assess them again.

Mercury is racing to catch up with the Sun and Moon and hastening our thoughts and plans. Ideas zip around like electrons, fizzing with potential and probability. Jupiter ensures that the energy connects to where it is most likely to spark something which grows. Pluto promises change. There is a powerful push now to begin things which just make sense. For a collective effort to make the world a better, more inclusive place. This is a seed point for brilliant flashes of innovation which have enormous power to change the world for good.

Uranus, the ruler of this Aquarian lunation, connects to retrograde Mars in Cancer and Venus in Pisces. There is a surprising amount of compassion and emotional focus for this Airy New Moon. Retrograde Mars, in turn, makes a square to Chiron. This is dredging up old emotions which need to be dealt with in order to clear the way for new, exciting beginnings. Venus, in compassionate, sensitive Pisces helps us to find a sense of closure and Uranus supports this combination to lead us to emancipation, and to find freedom from any feelings of hurt. Letting go, clearing space, allows for an abundance of innovation and support.

Guided Meditation
The power to visualise is a uniquely human gift. We are gifted with the ability to bridge the gap between conscious and unconscious. Sometimes though, we end up letting our minds take over. We forget that we are not our brains. We are beyond them. That’s when things get messy. The more we feel, the less we want to deal with our emotions. It can feel like too much. But feeling is nothing to fear. You can release every feeling just by breathing out. Every breath you take, and release, cleanses your heart and renews your soul. And, you don’t have to think about it at all. Let’s just breathe together, for a few moments. As we allow our breath to do the work, we can take our minds to another place, to soar as high as we like. We are free to experience joy and light. The light within us lifts us up. We float, away from trouble, away from pain, up, up up. Away to somewhere better, somewhere fun. We can find the source of that lightness and float on it. Let the winds of happiness carry you to another place now. You are being carried, light as a feather, on a warm, gentle breeze. You are free. You are protected. You are safe to let go.
