Dear beautiful reader,

On Friday 9th at 22:58 pm BST we have our New Moon in Aquarius peaking for a new lunar cycle to begin.

This auspicious timing makes this New Moon our foundation point for the coming months.

A New Moon happens once a month and can be used as a cosmic gift, a reset if you will, aiding you to check in with yourself. Checking in with any intentions you would like to grow in relation to your goals and dreams, or perhaps any new habits you would like to develop this is the time to honour these callings as she moves towards her fullness so do the seeds you wish to grow.

Ancient Rhythms Lead The Way

As we are human beings and created with 70% of water, it is only normal for us to feel the effects of the Moon closely, just like the tides. We are all so unique and different that a Moon cycle will affect us differently along with our cycles. As the New Moon is the dark side of the Moon, it is common to feel a little more introspective, wanting to retreat, be at home in your comfies, and watch TV or perhaps read and meditate. But once the New Moon grows into her full brightness so does our energy and feelings and wanting to be more out in the public space. So allowing yourself the time and honour needs is perfectly okay, often this is frowned upon in a fast-paced life but connecting back to our natural rhythms is so important.

In ancient times, the Moon was observed to change over a 29-day period that coincided with a woman's reproductive cycle. The ancients observed how the moon affected the tides and by tracking it alongside the sun, they developed calendars to predict agricultural rhythms. The Sun was the life-giving force, but the Moon played an important role in predicting rainfall. In this way, the moon inspired culture for the ancients, when hunter and gatherers established civilisations centred on planting and harvesting.

By connecting back to our ancient ways of being and living closer to the rhythms of nature we can connect better to ourselves.

In astrology, the Moon is associated with the subconscious and our instinctive, unconscious behaviour. Its cycles can be used to blend both the tangible and intangible. Working with lunar cycles allows us to intentionally engage our feeling nature, and how it unconsciously helps us with the law of attraction. Just like dreams, what cannot be accomplished during the day can be given over to our larger bodies while we sleep and rest in the evenings.

Awaken the Innovator In You

When we welcome this month's energies of this New Moon in Aquarius we need to appreciate that there is A LOT or abundant amounts of Aquarius energy going on here with Pluto also sitting in Aquarius. Remember Aquarius is about humanitarianism, innovation, technology, community, breaking free, and rebellion if you will, so these themes maybe come up individually and collectively.

With this New Moon, we also have the Chinese Lunar New Year! This year we are celebrating and honouring the year of the Dragon with the element of wood…each Chinese animal or in this case mythical creature is also represented by one of the five elements…earth, wood, water, metal, and fire. I am an Earth Dragon (‘88 baby)!

The Dragon holds a significant place as an auspicious and extraordinary creature, unparalleled in talent and excellence. It symbolises power, nobility, honour, luck, and success. 2024 is sure to bring about opportunities, and changes, along with its challenges.

Wood Dragons are believed to be able to foster growth, progress and abundance, and this year will be good to build a solid foundation for something new with long-term potential...whatever you’re thinking of start making plans and taking actionable steps! The stars are aligned for you…this all sounds very exciting and something to look forward to and bring into consideration when we talk about the Aquarius New Moon.

So what does the New Moon in Aquarius mean for me?

How are you currently feeling? Check in with yourself if are you feeling overwhelmed. We may feel intense emotions that can have us feeling unsure at this time.

As Aquarius represents expansion and innovation are you feeling this vibe or are you feeling stuck? Or perhaps you’re feeling inspired and wanting to take action and steps?

Well, this is your time to do so! Anything is possible, we only have to surrender and dream, allowing ourselves to think and feel big and begin those actionable steps in the right direction. It’s about overcoming thoughts that are holding us back and taking the baby steps that are necessary and perhaps manageable for you, it’s about the journey and not the destination at times.

During this New Moon, we have  Uranus squared with the Moon which is a transit that can bring significant challenges and disruptions to your emotional life and personal relationships. Often representing the underlying issues and tension that need to be addressed remember our emotions can be heightened so be careful you approach certain subjects and topics.

When you are planting your seeds with this New Moon remember to allow flexibility and the act of surrendering as Uranus is known for changes and innovation, just like Aquarius…it is its ruler. Thus there is an air of unpredictability to this New Moon. Trust that all is for your highest good and remember what is meant for you will never miss you.

This Uranus-squared transit mixed with Pluto in Aquarius is definitely about fueling your power, it’s amplifying your need for independence, to be innovative and to expand yourself so if you are feeling this already then it might make it easier for you. You just need to feel into it and start making things happen, Rome wasn’t built in a day but consistent moves daily will help you reach your goals and allow yourself some grace. This may feel quite volatile for you especially if you are feeling the opposite, the idea of expansion might scare you. But breathe and trust that you are capable and perhaps it’s time to do a little shadow work as to what scares you and what is holding you back in this area of your life.

Your actions and intentions will be sealed into the energy of the New Moon, helping you to stay the course for a long time to come…don’t be afraid to plant those seeds on intentions and see how they bloom and grow over the coming weeks or months.

To honour the New Moon here are a few ideas:

●      Sit in meditation and connect to, Selena the Goddess of the Moon, and give gratitude for all the wisdom she provides, the life she gives, and how her cycles help us to grow and co-create our dreams and goals.

●      Journaling whatever comes up for you in a nice quiet space

●      Writing a list of gratitude

●      Make a note of the dreams you are having as they may provide some insights for you

●      Planting intentions of what you wish to bring in over the coming weeks and months

●      A nice soothing bath to soothe the body and relax

●      Charge your crystals up at night on a window sill or outside, or in the Earth

●      Make some Moon water with an intention placed underneath for your own personal use
