The new moon arrives in the brilliant sign of Aquarius, bringing fresh energy and great ideas. This overall awareness favors a more analytical and logical approach. The mood is electric and refreshing, which is ideal for innovation and inventiveness.
Aquarius time of year has us focused on mental pursuits. We are more encouraged to be curious and expand our way of thinking. Relationships formed under this sign are often based on sharing intellectual ideas about learning or future plans for improvement. Aquarius connections include those that value intelligent thought, liberation, and humanitarian ideals, which may be prevalent on our hearts and minds these days.
The moon in Aquarius connects with the Sun to bring us renewed energy and enthusiasm for designing what we wish.
This new energy can enhance your clarity and momentum toward realizing your dreams.
Prioritize the visions and goals that promote your highest ideals now.
Aquarius also reminds us to be responsible for the ideas we are carrying with us. Symbolized by the WATER BEARER, who is also the THINKING MAN, it stands for someone who ensures survival by being prepared and ready to deliver that which is nourishing and sustaining.
In this context, the water that the Aquarius archetype carries is really a metaphor for positive insights and affirming words, which you can share to fortify and support those people around you.
“Everything begins with an idea.”
Earl Nightengale
The new moon in Aquarius pushes us to think outside the box. This energy is stimulating, smart, and can even be a bit shocking.
Aquarius encourages us to break out of conventional constraints and consider new frontiers of existence, and while that may not seem as down-to-earth as the other signs, the most powerful themes now are INTELLIGENCE, RADICAL IDEAS, ILLUMINATION, THE FUTURE, and HUMANITARIAN IDEALS.
Aquarius energy is excellent for analysis, study, and brilliant breakthroughs. When you look back over how you have spent your days over the past six months, you may find that you have been challenged by some new ways of thinking, shocks, and even surprises. Despite all that is unexpected, know that you are still capable of greater evolution and growth.
The AQUARIUS new moon can enhance your ability to improvise. This time of year is known for stimulating creative thought and abstract conceptualization skills.
This month is an ideal time for creative exploration and invention. Start with a blank sheet of paper and imagine what would make you most happy. Remember that you are always in a phase of creating the eventual outcomes of your life, so be sure to stay focused on your highest values as you start taking steps to envision your dreams coming true during the coming weeks.
“No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.”
Edward Hopper
Celestial Blessings Ahead
Progressive ideals and radical insights are featured thanks to the intuitive moon linking up with the consciously aware Sun also in Aquarius.
Fresh and creative ideas get a big boost from a supportive connection between the moon and authoritarian Saturn also in the sign of Aquarius. This conjunction means that discipline comes more easily during this period. You may also be well positioned to get the green light on serious projects that are important to you.
The moon also forms an encouraging sextile aspect with the healing asteroid Chiron. Chiropractic and other health matters can benefit, as the Aquarius moon brings to light helpful and innovative ideas. With Chiron in fast and strong Aries, this energy favors new healing modalities and quick health results.
Lunar New Year and Imbolc Celebrations
This new moon coincides with some noteworthy holidays. Worldwide, the Lunar New Year (also known as Asian or Chinese New Year) begins with the theme of the Black Water Tiger, heralding big changes from last year.
In the Northern Hemisphere, this day also marks Imbolc, the Pagan tradition of celebrating the halfway point between the winter solstice and spring equinox. Imbolc recognizes the winter days as well as the return of warmth and light, again. (In the Southern Hemisphere, you might be recognizing Imbolc or more likely, Pagans and Wiccans would be celebrating Lammas, the harvest festival there.)
And of course, there is also Groundhog Day this week, which according to legend means that the groundhog will let us know in the Northern Hemisphere whether to expect another six weeks of winter or not.
Cosmic Surprises
Shakeups and sudden surprises may also spring up, courtesy of a disruptive square between the moon and change maker Uranus in powerful Taurus. Make an effort to stay balanced and go with the flow. If you will direct your energetic and emotional power surges toward positive goals, you can find new personal breakthroughs, instead of squandering your energy by being resistant to life’s ebbs and flows.
Overall, the energy is favorable, so even the unexpected may play to your advantage now. With lovely Venus just out of retrograde a few days ago, and mental Mercury following suit just a few days after the new moon is exact, life will feel easier, again. Any plans or projects that felt stalled from the beginning of the year, can get back on track. And with both Venus and Mercury currently in decisive Capricorn, this is an excellent time to revisit, refine, and revive any new year’s resolutions!
“If gratitude is the parent of all virtues (Cicero) and necessity is the mother of invention (Plato), could being grateful in times of need help you be inventive enough to receive everything you want?”
