New Moon calling

New Moon with an Aquarius flavour

The first New Moon of 2025 arrives on 29th January, landing in the innovative and forward-thinking sign of Aquarius.


While every New Moon brings opportunities for fresh energy and new beginnings, this one is particularly powerful. The Sun, Mercury and Pluto, are all positioned in early Aquarius, with Jupiter in Gemini adding to the cosmic conversation.


For many, Aquarius is the bringer of change, innovation and intelligence, freedom and individuality. It is a highly expansive energy, inspiring us to push our boundaries, to think differently and engage with previously unseen potentials, possibilities, ideas and thoughts. Aquarius speaks to having an absolute loyalty to truth, and to actively seeking it out with an open heart and an open mind.


The cosmic conversation

As the ruler of Aquarius, Uranus’ influence also needs to be considered this New Moon. It is a planet that aligns with our higher mind; the part of us that can hold an expanded view or the bigger picture of our lives. Like an observer, Uranus sees with clarity who we are and what is happening within our world. It notices the limiting stories and the places where we are stuck in conformity or in the complacency of our comfort zone, but it does not judge. Instead, it invites us to consider the constraints upon us and examine where we need to rock the boat or push the boundary, to explore not just what is outside the box, but to contemplate whether the box even exists.


Adding to this, Jupiter also plays a significant role in this New Moon; serving as an amplifier for whatever we are working through. With the New Moon heightening our emotions and the potentially expanding and intensifying qualities of Jupiter, things could feel overwhelming. However, this is inviting us to step forward into a time of growth, expanded thinking and limitless potential.


When we embrace the wisdom uncovered in considering the bigger picture, and actively choose to release limiting and constraining forces at play in our thinking, actions, and in the choices we make, we open doors to new pathways and new possibilities.


While Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus are all in retrograde, we are offered a chance to reflect on past issues and old wounds that may need resolution and healing. We have the chance to confront old and outdated personal stories, to take an inner journey to see, know, understand and accept the entirety of who we are, including our shadows. This takes courage and resourcefulness, leaving the past behind is not always easy and it can be challenging and painful.  


However, we know that conflict and challenge is sometimes necessary for growth, transformation and healing. Living through conflict and challenge, rather than avoiding it, is where true wisdom can emerge, where new personal stories can be born and new narratives can be written.


Patience, self-compassion and small steps is all that is needed, while we acclimatise to our new vision and new version of ourselves, redefining our path and our purpose. Where in our lives will we be like the phoenix and rise from the ashes?


New Moon calling

Under this New Moon it appears we may experience the urge to break free, try something new or express our uniqueness. It has the potential to usher in new beginnings, mark the emergence of new doorways of opportunity and open-up new pathways of possibility. However, these may not be those that speak to our ego or to the wants of small selves, instead they may speak to the our higher perspective and the bigger picture held by our higher mind or our highest expression of self. Therefore, this could be a time where curiosity might be our superpower, as we explore inner creativity and inspiration, and listen to the whispers of our hearts and soul.


With the added influence of Mercury and Pluto, there is a dialogue between the past, present and future, between the conscious and unconscious, between our inner world, reality and the cosmos. These two powerful forces invite us to sweep away the proverbial cobwebs and peek in all the nooks and crannies, to explore with laser focus what might exist, what else? And what else? And what else? To seek out, with clear focus and discernment, our truths; to stand tall in our power and empowered, in our authenticity and integrity, skillfully and accessibly communicating our truth to our world.


While the key consideration for Aquarius is freedom and individuality; the ability to live our own life, make our own decisions, choose our own path on our own terms, it is important we consider how we might do this authentically, rather than simply for the sake of being different. Aquarius encourages us to embrace individuality in a way that aligns with our true selves. If we do not honour this call to personal truth, we will not be able to take full advantage of the growth, promise and potential inherent in this New Moon.


That being said, for some the energy of Aquarius can feel shocking, unpredictable, rebellious and represent feelings of alienation and emotional disconnection. While Aquarius can be a sociable sign, it can also be the sign of the loner or outsider. As such, you may feel drawn to retreat and set new intentions more quietly or in solitude; if this is how you feel this New Moon, it is vital that you honour and embrace this.


Remember, this is a call to personal authenticity and a loyalty to your own truth and your own desired form of expression. Pay attention to what your needs are and act with intension. Doing the work and answering Aquarius’ call, and the call of this New Moon, with an open mind and an open heart is far more important than how you express this.


Final thoughts

With the New Moon in Aquarius it is a message from the universe to consider how we might awaken and expand. This New Moon could be a time to start something new, but it is also a time to ask deep and critically reflective questions:


Are there places in your life where you are being called to step outside of limiting perspectives that are holding you back and no longer serving you?


Where might you be called to embrace new possibilities or new ways of being, thinking or doing?


Where do you need to detach from judgement, gain clarity and rewrite your personal narratives with greater wisdom?


Where are you being called to stand authentically in your own power at peace with your own truths?


Happy New Moon!
