Happy Lunar New Year. If you are unhappy with the way the Gregorian New Year of 2025 has been playing out, this is your moment to start fresh and dream of what is to come. In the Chinese Zodiac, we begin the year of the wood snake, a year representing transformation, renewal, and growth. We are entering a moment of both divisiveness and a search for beauty: intensity, yet great optimism. This Aquarius New Moon, occurring on Wednesday, January 29th, at 7:35am EST sits at 9 degrees and 51 minutes of Aquarius.
Aquarius challenges us to think outside of the box and to think in terms of community welfare. Jupiter is in the mix offering great blessings of support this week. How can your dreams better serve the collective? In what ways are your skills being called upon to step up and into a new horizon? We are being asked to “hear the call” -- a call to our radical imaginations. It’s time to begin living out the vision of how you’d prefer the world to be. New Moons are seed moments, the start of a new lunar cycle, and an opportunity to set deep, transformative intentions. Any seeds you plant at this particular New Moon have the potential to grow exponentially. New beginnings are already in the works, and if there are things that have been getting in the way, it is time to clear out what isn’t working. To get to the next phase, we have to be willing to be surprised or jolted in order to receive the blessings this week, as Uranus, planet of shock and disruption stations direct.
On Tuesday of this week, Mercury makes a conjunction to Pluto, which may offer important, albeit challenging news that has been brewing under the surface. This aspect also offers an opportunity to deeply listen to the people we love who are facing challenges from recent changes. The day of the New Moon, Venus, Neptune, the North Node, and Jupiter emphasize the value of our interpersonal relationships, following our bigger dreams, and working collaboratively with others towards collective future goals.
