New Moon in Aquarius - The Dawn of a Transformative New Era - 29 January, 2025

NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS – 9.51 DEGREES

Wednesday 29th January, 12.36 pm (GMT), 7.36 am (EST), 4.36 am (PAC)

While 2025 has had a challenging start, today’s Aquarius New Moon brings a much-needed spark of hope and possibility.

New Moons are cosmic resets, inviting fresh starts and new energy. This one, in the visionary and future-orientated sign of Aquarius, encourages us to look ahead and dream big.

That said, as Mars, the planet of action, continues its retrograde in Cancer, progress may feel slow or stalled. But don’t lose hope—change is brewing beneath the surface.

As the first New Moon of the year, this lunation carries extra weight. It’s a cosmic moment of recalibration, setting the tone not just for 2025 but for the next 20 years to come.

A 20-Year Transformation Begins

This New Moon marks the start of a 20-year cycle tied to Pluto’s move into Aquarius—a celestial alignment we haven’t experienced in over 260 years. Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, and transformation empowers Aquarius's forward-thinking, revolutionary spirit. Together, they signify an awakening and reinvention of humanity.

We are standing on the precipice of a revolutionary new age and today’s New Moon in Aquarius is the ignition point for this incredible journey.

Aquarius Energy: Freedom, Vision, Innovation

Aquarius is all about blending individuality with collective wisdom. This New Moon isn’t just about setting intentions; it’s about envisaging a future without limits.

Aquarius energy calls us to think outside the box. We are being asked to stay open—to new ideas, fresh perspectives, and unexpected opportunities.

Here’s how to work with this energy:

• Break free from outdated patterns. Reflect on what no longer serves you and find creative ways to let it go.

• Dream boldly. Create a vision board or journal about the future you want to co-create for yourself and for the world.

• Cultivate community. Collaboration and shared visions are where Aquarius shines. Find your tribe and dream together.

• Stay curious and flexible. Experiment with new ideas. Let go of rigid expectations and welcome the unexpected.

Uranus Moves Direct - A Surge of Forward Motion

Adding extra potency to this lunation, Uranus—the ruling planet of Aquarius—will station tomorrow (the 30th) after being retrograde for five months. When a planet appears to be standing still in the sky its energy is amplified, creating a powerful opportunity. If we embrace this moment, we can supercharge our intentions threefold! On Saturday, February 1st, Uranus will begin moving forward, clearing away the fog and paving the way for breakthroughs. Prepare for sudden flashes of insight, newfound clarity, and a renewed sense of direction. This unpredictable energy is set to wake us up in exciting and unexpected ways.

Expansive Jupiter – Empowering our Visions

With Jupiter, the planet of expansion and opportunities in a supportive trine aspect to the New Moon, anything we start now has the potential to grow. This is a perfect moment to set bold intentions, and trust that even small steps can ripple out into something greater.

Retrograde Season – A Precious Time for Inner Growth

Mars will start moving forward again on February 25th, but it won’t reach full throttle until early May. Meanwhile, during March and April, both Mercury and Venus will retrograde together—from Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, back into Pisces, the last sign.

Let’s not rush this period along. Retrograde seasons are a precious opportunity for internal work and growth. This first quarter of the year is a prime time for reflection, healing, and intentional planning.

2025: A Year of Completions and Beginnings

This year is a bridge—a time to wrap up old cycles while planting seeds for an entirely new era. While the early and later months of 2025 encourage inner work and tying up loose ends, the energy will shift rapidly as spring arrives.

With Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all transitioning into new signs, expect a fiery and fast-moving spring and summer. When innovative Uranus moves into Gemini on July 7th for the first time in 84 years, the change in pace will be palpable.

Gemini, ruled by Mercury, governs all forms of communication—how we think, process information, teach, learn, and even how we travel. Think flying cars and surges in consciousness!

Mercury and Uranus also rule the nervous system. In the coming years, we may see major breakthroughs in the treatment of neurological diseases like Parkinson’s, Motor Neuron Disease, and Dementia. However, be aware that as the energy accelerates, our nervous systems may feel overstimulated.

To navigate this rapid shift, we must mindfully slow down. By building in regular pauses throughout the day, we can find our own rhythm and pace. The more intentional we are now, the smoother the transitions will feel later.

Take this moment to consciously create and plant the seeds for what’s to come. By 2026, when the planets settle into their new signs for good, we’ll officially step into a transformative new age. The work we do this year—both internally and externally—will significantly shape the years ahead. 2025 is set to be one of the most pivotal years of our lives.

Your Unique Role in Humanity’s Evolution

As we harness the energy of this powerful New Moon, let’s remember that change begins with each and every one of us. This is a time to celebrate your uniqueness while embracing the power of collaboration. Your voice, your vision, and your gifts are essential threads in the larger tapestry of humanity’s evolution.

Take a moment today to appreciate how far you’ve come, to envisage the path ahead, and to trust that the universe is leading you toward a future filled with exciting possibilities.
