The Spiritual and Practical Aspect of the New Moon in Aquarius
The New Moon on January 29th will be our first New Moon of 2025.
Aquarius ruled by Uranus (in modern times) makes this New Moon unpredictable, awakening and possibly being an instigator of change some where in you life. Setting an intention or metaphorically planting a seed thought for manifesting what you desire or need will give you a sense of authentically making your heart felt choice or choices. (Saturn, ancient rule of Aquarius).
The Spiritual Aspect of the New Moon
Spiritually speaking, Aquarius is about awakening to a higher version and consciousness of your self. This archetype encourages you/us to think beyond the boundaries and structure of the familiar thus embracing our individuality and sense of community, while still staying connected to the bigger picture and the human condition.
This New Moon in Aquarius invites you to break free from the constraints that are holding you back from being your authentic self. This can be around your beliefs and patterns that might need change or transformation (Moon).
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, modern day ruler and Saturn, ancient day ruler. I like to use both depending on what is going on individually and collectively. I think both planets have a strong resonance with this archetype. Uranus being the planet of innovation and sudden change. Saturn being the planet of time, structure and constraints takes notes where we haven’t done the work or where we want to by-pass something that will in fact be a teaching tool for individual and collective growth thus moving you/us forward towards more freedom and risk taking with our ideas, vision and truth.
There is an invitation during this New Moon to explore unconventional ways of seeing the world. An opportunity to break away from old systems of thinking, and tune into your creative genius. What is the most unique version of yourself? What version of the future excites you? Paying attention to our intuition is key during this New Moon. Let he/her guide you to dream, think out of the box and be more of who you are.
The Saturn side asks that you have structure, not the old structure, but building a new structure or platform where you can express yourself authentically and with morals, self respect and respect for others. What is your place in the collective as we build towards a new paradigm of consciousness? This is a time to feel connected to the collective consciousness and use your unique gifts to elevate this transformation and healing process.
The Practical Aspect of this New Moon in Aquarius
When talking about the practical side of this New Moon, Aquarius energy can be detached at times. This archetype values the intellect, logic and can detach from the emotions. This is something to be mindful of as our emotions embody who we are and the Moon reflects those emotions to us on a daily basis. If you are someone who follows your heart, you might be feeling more strategic and rational about your next steps. If you are someone who lives in your head, you might want to do some physical activity to ground your energy so you can sense what your next steps might be or what your intention is for this New Moon. Listening to the body consciousness will give you the information and energy you need to navigate this New Moon in Aquarius.
