New Moon in Aquarius – January 29, 2025
We are stepping into a new era, witches. This New Moon in Aquarius is our Lunar New Year and an invitation to initiate a new era in our personal lives. Aquarius is the great social justice warrior of the zodiac, a sign of innovation, technology, and unconventional thinking that seeks to transform the future for the better.
The New Moon is trine with Jupiter bringing confidence and open-mindedness to our lives. With Pluto now firmly in the sign, get ready for more transformation in your personal, spiritual, and work lives. The good news is that Pluto is a slow-moving planet, so this transformation won’t jostle you about too much or disrupt your life in a huge way (at least not all the time!).
Aquarius energy is bringing clear-eyed vision to your urges to be a rule breaker and to engage in sacred, magickal rebellion. As you do, Aquarius encourages you to look at things from an unbiased perspective too. Reflect on what sparks your imagination and what challenges you. Are these challenges good or bad for you? How can you position yourself in the various parts of your life in such a way that you’ll be supported and successful – based on your OWN definitions of both words?
This New Moon also encourages independence and problem-solving. Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and Uranus, which makes for an interesting energetic combination. Saturn will encourage persistence and concentration, while Uranus will bring restlessness and a drive for originality. You may also feel a little short-tempered, especially with those you oppose based on personal values.
Mercury is also in Aquarius during this New Moon, which may prompt you to want to express yourself via your writing. While it’s always good to set intentions at the New Moon, this month is an especially great time to write your intentions down. Use this time to write spells you’ve been putting off too. The stars will help you create something powerful!
Here are your New Moon in Aquarius Horoscopes:
Aries: Gather with your community and loved ones here at the end of the month. Set intentions with an eye toward deepening your friendships based on shared values. You’ll feel especially brave during this New Moon, so take an intentional (and ultimately safe) risk if inspiration strikes!
Taurus: It’s time to up your game. You’ve had your sights on a new goal that seems just out of reach, but it’s closer than you think! Plant some seeds for your career and pay attention to how these goals factor into your long-term vision for your life.
Gemini: Do you have a trip on the horizon? If not, now may be a good time to plan it. You’re feeling the call of the road, and your travels will help expand your horizons and widen your perceptions. Allow your curiosity to guide you over the next couple of weeks, and maybe go ahead and book that trip you’ve been thinking about.
Cancer: This New Moon invites you to be vulnerable not only with others but also with yourself. The darkness of the New Moon reminds you that there’s a shadow to your relationships (including your self-relationship) and that’s what makes the light shine even brighter. Make sure you prioritize your boundaries and look for alignment in your personal and professional lives.
Leo: Get ready for a spark! This New Moon sheds light on the dynamics in your romantic relationships. Be on the lookout for chemistry in platonic arrangements, too – your differences will be highlighted during the New Moon. Use the illumination to deepen communication and confidently move into the next few weeks.
Virgo: Refocus your attention on your physical health and emotions. You may have been feeling distant lately like you’re your own private island, but no matter how introverted we are, we need others in our lives. Set some new, small goals for your self-care routines. Small is the keyword here – you’re going to thrive with small, achievable goals right now.
Libra: Take a leap of faith and step into the unknown. While you love balance, it’s in moments of imbalance that we truly grow. Set intentions for how you want to be over the next six months rather than being so focused on what you want to do. Community will bolster you up in challenges, so be brave and step in a new direction. You’ve got this!
Scorpio: Prioritize your emotional needs and your home life as you step into your next professional level. Your intentions will be most successful if you take your inner world into account. Make sure you’re finding alignment between your values and your career pursuits – without an alignment, you’ll lose your way and become discouraged.
Sagittarius: This New Moon is encouraging you to expand your worldview even more than usual. Look for new topics to learn and new experiences to enjoy, whether close by or on an upcoming trip. Maybe this is the month you attend a ritual in person? Consider where your knowledge can be of use to others and be sure to listen when conversing with others…you may be surprised at what you learn!
Capricorn: Check in with your household budget and financial goals. It’s a good time to reevaluate your values too, to make sure they aren’t separated from your career intentions. Spend time on your passions and hobbies too. Remember there’s more to success than work – your happiness needs to factor in there too!
Aquarius: This is your season and it’s a season of self-discovery. Your personal identity is likely to shift around the New Moon, encouraging you to become more and more your true self. Set intentions for who you want to be and what you want to achieve in the next six months. As differences in personalities crop up in those around you, remember that there’s gold in those opposites-attract relationships.
Pisces: It’s time to heal. This New Moon encourages you to release your hurt and move on with your life. Remember, people only change when they want to, so if there’s someone who’s been hanging on to you, release them. It might be a good time for a cord cutting ritual too. As you release what doesn’t work for you and you become more apologetically yourself, you’ll feel more connected in a mind-body-soul kind of way.
Happy New Moon, witches!
