On January 29, 2025, the Moon will conjunct (aka be close together in the same zodiac sign) the Sun in Aquarius at exactly 10 degrees, forming a New Moon in Aquarius, inviting us all to collectively manifest our ideals, goals, visions and dreams for the future. The eleventh sign of the zodiac is well-known for being contrary, unpredictable and different, and this lunation will reflect these ideologies back to us.
Being a forward-thinking sign, Aquarius is all about planting both feet firmly in tomorrow. Since this new moon is in future-focused, experimental Aquarius, you can bet that plans set under this lunation will take a much more desirable shape as 2025 progresses.
New Moons represent the start of a new lunar cycle. The past is forgiven, and a new, inspired mindset is also encouraged. Thus, the beginnings that we embark upon may have some twists and turns along the way, no matter how structured of an approach we decide to take. Don’t forget that Aquarius has the reputation of being progressive and open to everything, yet also may cling onto what feels consistent and reliable.
Aquarius also rules the concept of tribe and belonging – questions to ask ourselves at this point might be ‘where do I belong?’, or, ‘is the community I’m a part of still aligned to my values?’. Sitting with these questions is never easy, but with the intellectually intelligent and intuitive energy of this air sign, we’re bound to come up with innovative, original solutions.
Should we find that we are, in fact, no longer aligned to our circles, or that we’re feeling like an outsider, then it’s important to petition the Universe with exactly the kinds of people we wish to attract and hold onto. Making a list of the qualities we seek in our tribe is a grounded and practical step towards creating a conscious community.
The Water Bearer is also the archetype of the Teacher and Student – with this in mind, is there something you wish to learn, a journey of knowledge that you’ve been eager to embark on? if you’ve been waiting for a sign, then this might be exactly it. Signing up for courses, workshops, mentoring, teaching or coaching is something that is likely to make your souls sing and spirits feel fulfilled.
This New Moon is telling you that it’s not too late in life. If there is something that you've wanted to do, perhaps it's a career you always wanted, a place you wanted to live, something that you truly wanted, and now is the time to go after it. I don't care if you have decided you want to go back to school for a career and you are in your 50's. This is your year. The soul does not count your years, only your spiritual growth. The Universe is giving you a huge nudge to get out there and go after what you want. This is going to be an unbelievably productive year if you work with the spiritual energy that is abundant.
The nature of this New Moon has a stoic vibe to it, but don’t be misled by the surface. Beneath its cool face is a deep collection of unspoken feelings and nebulous desires. Aquarius notoriously doesn’t have a great handle on emotions, and when in Aquarius, the Moon struggles to fully express itself because this sign is all logic. Right now, the people you care about will be far more likely to understand you if you appeal to the sensible nature of Aquarius energy. Knowing when to pull back and let your lover miss you is key. If you make practical requests and keep your expectations grounded in reality, you’ll find that they’re likely to be met under this New Moon. If you’re planning on starting an emotional connection or bringing new life to your relationship, first ensure that it makes sense to commit.
Unfolding on January 29th, inspiration and hope become our guiding ideals over the next several months. Trine an equally brilliant (albeit busy) Jupiter, the Moon and the Sun are gifted with magnanimousness and joyful growth. This makes for magnificent opportunities to grow not only our aspirations, but to also expand our Soul Tribe. With this energy, we have a golden ticket to share our deepest wishes with those who hold the same values dear. To put into action not only our mind’s wildest dreams, but to do it with heart, empathy, and intuition.
ARIES
Prepare to be as popular as ever, Aries! Now will be a very social time, as you reconnect with many friends and likely even make new ones. Take initiative and make some meaningful plans with your group of friends, or put yourself out there by joining a club to connect with more people. This will require some digital or physical socialising.
Individualism will only get you so far, Aries. You’re a natural leader and trendsetter, someone who’s motivated to stand out from the rest. But during the New Moon in Aquarius, you are invited to make a commitment to aligning yourself with people who love, support, and understand you. The authentic you. This lunation is a cosmic reminder that friendship and a helping hand are available to you if you ask. That is why it is very possible to find that someone steps in now to help you make progress toward a major aspiration.

TAURUS
The energy of Aquarius is not only about being an active part of the community but also about the drive for change and innovation. However, for placid and peaceful Taurus, this may feel like a disturbance of the cherished peace and quiet. The change in philosophy and personal beliefs targeted by the Aquarius new moon can feel uncomfortable for you, Taurus. You’re a creature of habit who lives to serve their comfort, so you may put up a fight when it comes to tweaking your worldview. Considering the additional destabilising influence of Uranus on the sign of Taurus that is happening now, you may feel being pushed way out of your comfort zone. Remember to stay centred and calm, but also it would be helpful to open up to change just a little bit, make some compromises.
A promotion, new job or honour could be right around the corner. Work hard now, as you can make tremendous progress.
GEMINI
Υou’re being asked to pursue a specific passion and then throw your entire heart into it. You are known for your curious, open-minded approach, and this lunation is asking you to take that natural-born inquisitiveness and see it through to the end. It could be going deeper into a field of study, pursuing mastery of a spiritual practice, travelling more. It’s time to make that proverbial bucket list—and then start checking items off.
You’re in a cycle of learning and unlearning, Gemini. This is the perfect time for a fresh start to expand your perspective through knowledge.
Open your mind to a whole greater vision of what life has to offer you, Gemini. The new moon is pushing you in new directions for personal and intellectual growth. Opportunities to think outside of the box could be presented to you in a few different forms, such as an academic, media, spiritual or travelling endeavour.
CANCER
You’re no stranger to plunging into the emotional depths, Cancer. But this new moon is asking you to explore your relationship with the word 'safety.' What makes you feel secure? Where can you be your most vulnerable—and with who? The New Moon in Aquarius reminds you that it’s safe to come out of your shell. These are the relationships you are being asked to cultivate, Cancer—and perhaps refrain from fertilising those relationships or dynamics that don’t uplift you. Those that don’t allow you to be authentically yourself; where you feel you must retreat in your proverbial crab shell. Instead, use this lunation to strengthen relationships—at work, at home, in love, with money—that allow you to feel at peace.
If you’re sorting through some deep emotional terrain, try journaling. There is no better way to organise complex thoughts and feelings than by re-reading what’s come up for you during a journaling session.
LEO
Ruled by the heart, Leos love the idea of love, and that’s why this is a perfect lunation for you to build or fortify their existing relationships.This new moon will encourage you to identify the weak spots and the negative patterns in your relationships. Where are you currently experiencing imbalances in your most intimate relationships? Are you feeling lonely whether you’re single or in a partnership? Is your voice being heard? Are you fully yourself? Are you doing too much—or not enough? Use this lunation to manifest the kind of love you’ve always dreamed of, regardless of your current relationship status.
An important new relationship could be forming in your life now, Leo, as this new moon takes place in your house of partnerships. Look out for potential sparks with people in both love and business, as now is a gorgeous time to make a commitment to someone and make plans for a shared future. Singles could cross paths with someone who has staying power.
VIRGO
While Virgos are known for their reliance on structure, you are not a stodgy or boring sign. Whatever systems you have in place in your day, whether it’s maintaining a certain wake-up schedule, using colour-coded organisational tabs, or scheduling non-negotiable calendar blocks, this Aquarian lunation is inviting you to add something inventive to your routine that will make your life easier. That way, you can feel more aligned between your needs and your desires and be at your most productive—and most importantly, creative and generative self.
It’s time to rework your personal wellness rituals, Virgo. Taking care of your mind and body is just as important as taking care of your to-do list — so use this new moon to reset your self-care clock and start making more time in your routine for healthy habits. Hit the farmer’s market for fresh produce or join a group exercise class to get yourself pumped up for a refreshed flow.
LIBRA
This lunation is asking Libras to pour your whole heart into something you love. Something that starts out being just for you. What feels personal and precious to you? What lights you up inside? What brings you joy and pleasure? This new moon could be a great time to reconnect with your inner child and think about what you dreamed of being or doing when you were a kid. How can you incorporate that youthful optimism and excitement into this next phase? How can you make that dream a reality?
Let your heart and spirit sing, Libra! This excitement-filled new moon is plucking at your heartstrings, seeing colours more vividly and bringing you a fiery passion for life. So, if you are single, this is a fabulous time to get your flirt on and make more room in your schedule for passionate rendezvous and date nights. Couples can enjoy this energy, too, bringing more laughter and sexy times into their routine.
SCORPIO
You deserve to feel at home, and if you don’t have a corner of the world that you can call your own, this new moon wants you to create it yourself. Nurture your sacred space, reconnect with your roots, and get to know the people you consider family. Without a strong emotional support system, you may feel a sense of emptiness, so take the time to refill your cup. If you have love, it never has to stay empty for long.
Family is an important part of everyone’s lives, Scorpio — but that doesn’t have to look traditional. Use the collaborative energy of this lunation to inspire you to reach out to the friends who feel like a chosen family. Surrounding yourself with people who make you feel at home and comfortable in your skin will refresh you.
SAGITTARIUS
With the New Moon in Aquarius it’s likely that you may feel pressure from your daily routine, like you can’t fit everything in. This lunation reminds you that you can always recalibrate and rework your priorities. Staying busy isn’t actually productive if you’re not investing your time in soaking up new knowledge that can expand your mindset. Ask yourself what needs to shift in your day-to-day life.
If you’ve been considering picking up a new skill or taking a course, this new moon in Aquarius is an invitation to follow your heart.
Moreover, you have a voice, Sagittarius. Your backbone may never be perfectly straight, but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t have to be perfect. Believe it or not, it’s the swagger in your step and your impediments that bring uniqueness out of you. Don’t feel the need to conform to a certain ideal—your own persona is what’s most appealing.
CAPRICORN
Finances and security are the topic of conversation under this new moon in Aquarius. A fresh start is slated for your income sector, which could make now a powerful time to align yourself with new projects that add to your resources.
You’re known as the hard worker of the zodiac. Nothing short of mastery will make you feel accomplished. But can you define yourself outside of a number—on a scale, in your paycheck, in your bank account, in some other kind of rank? Your value is so much more than what you can produce for others. It’s time to reframe your conversation about what you earn to start thinking about the care and kindness you actually owe yourself.
Take some time to appreciate what you have worked for, Capricorn. This New Moon acts as a reminder that you are always capable of creating security. What comes down must come up, if you will. Enjoy how capable you are! Not even a sea of haters could drown your ambition.
AQUARIUS
This is the most important new moon of the year, as it comes like a little wrapped present with a bow and your name on it. Now is your time to shine, Aquarius, even if you’re not entirely sure of the end destination. With a new moon, there is no light in the night sky. We can’t always see where we’re going, but we trust that we’ll get there. By believing in ourselves. In our innate capacity for self-compassion. In our ability to recognize our inherent worth, talents, and skills. Pick something you love about yourself, and then work with that to watch your dreams manifest.
It’s your birthday season, Aquarius, and this new moon is here to offer you a sparkly fresh start with a bow on top. This is an important time to channel your confidence and fully embrace your one-of-a-kind eccentricities. Whatever you choose to put your heart into now can be achieved — so set your standards high and believe in your personal power.
PISCES
This new moon is all about your dreams, Pisces. The ones that you picture in your waking mind, the goals you want to achieve, but also the ones that occur to you in your subconscious mind, the ones that come to you in your sleep. What is the connection between your dream world and your dream job? Your dream relationship? Your dream life? When you can connect the passions that lie beneath the surface with how you live your life, then you can manifest a reality that integrates all parts of yourself, mind, body, and soul.
The introspective nature of a new moon can help us see into ourselves with more clarity — so for a spiritually-minded Pisces like you, it’s a great time to blast your intentions out into the universe with a witchy ritual. Set some time aside to write out your new moon wishes, meditate on your goals with a confidence-building crystal, or speak some positive affirmations aloud into the mirror.
