New Moon in Aquarius on January 29, 2025: No Need to Be Dramatic

January 28, 2025

We are already in the midst of a remarkably different astrological climate than in 2024. The instability, accelerated changes and great turbulence that we are experiencing on a personal, collective and even climatic level are already being strongly felt. In the midst of this process where so many things are changing, it is natural that as human beings we look for certainties, something defined that allows us to regain a little control.

We are already in the midst of a remarkably different astrological climate than in 2024. The instability, accelerated changes and great turbulence that we are experiencing on a personal, collective and even climatic level are already being strongly felt. In the midst of this process where so many things are changing, it is natural that as human beings we look for certainties, something defined that allows us to regain a little control.

This New Moon in Aquarius comes in that context: a lunation that, of course, awakens the need to start something, to find a direction that gives us security.

New moons, by nature, are times to plant intentions, open ourselves to the new and begin to walk paths that are still uncertain. But this New Moon in Aquarius (which will occur in the grade 9°51' of the sign) asks us to do it differently. Here we will explore why:

The lunar nodes will have entered Pisces and Virgo a few hours earlier.

Uranus will be stationary, returning to direct phase only 27 hours later.

Venus will be in shadow .

Mars remains retrograde .

This lunation occurs in conjunction with the asteroid Icarus (1566) and opposition to the dwarf planet Varuna (20000).

This lunation will affect us all, but Its impact will be greater if you have planets or angles between 7°-11° degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius).

First Lunation with the Nodes in Pisces and Virgo

This New Moon in Aquarius is also the first lunation to occur with the lunar nodes having changed signs: North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo. In fact, this change occurs just a few hours before the lunation, marking a completely different energetic context . The North Node in Pisces speaks to us of inevitable endings, dissolutions, and collapses . In other words: while this New Moon represents a beginning, it is a beginning that occurs in the midst of a dissolution, a process in which we also need to recognize what is ending, what we are leaving behind.

For months now, I've been stressing that this will be a bittersweet year ( read more here ) - a period where we'll have to start things at the same time as we let go of others. That sense of excitement for the new combined with mourning for what's fading away will be a recurring theme, and this New Moon symbolises that in a powerful way.

Aquarium: Bold Changes, But Step by Step and with a Cool Mind

Aquarius is an air sign . The air element is related to logic, reason, communication, social issues, and ideas . It is also a fixed sign . Fixed signs have the function of consolidating and crystallizing , which implies stability and permanence. To consolidate something, you cannot be constantly changing or moving in all directions; you need focus, patience, and a step-by-step method. Of the three modalities—cardinal, fixed, and mutable— the fixed is the slowest , since its purpose is to give solidity to what you begin.

In the case of Aquarius, this fixed mode applies to ideas . We are talking about radical, innovative ideas that drive the modernization and progress of society. But for these ideas to materialize and cause real change, it is essential to persist, to advance methodically and to recognize that profound change takes time . This New Moon in Aquarius tells us exactly that: a beginning that starts with an idea; a vision that will not be immediate, but is destined to develop over the long term.

If we think about it, the Moon in Aquarius is not a Moon to rush into or get emotionally involved with something overnight . It is a slow Moon, which keeps its distance until it is sure that this idea, project or decision really means greater freedom, innovation or a true break from the mold. Before that, there is a whole process that we cannot skip.

Conjunction with Icarus, Opposition with Varuna

This New Moon in Aquarius occurs in conjunction with the asteroid Icarus (10°23'), whose meaning is deeply rooted in the Greek myth that gives it its name. Icarus wanted to fly towards the Sun with wings made of wax and feathers, ignoring warnings about the consequences of getting too close. The result was his fall . This asteroid symbolizes precisely that: naivety, unbridled ambition , the drive to transcend all kinds of limitations without considering the consequences , which often ends in inevitable falls. Icarus tells us: not so fast.

It will also be in opposition to Varuna (8°56' Leo), a dwarf planet associated with figures of power, fame, wealth and the notion of divine order . This opposition invites us to reflect on how our ideas and solutions fit into a larger scheme. Are we acting with respect for that larger order? On a collective level, there is no doubt that influential figures will present seemingly impeccable, magical solutions that promise to resolve the current crises . However, this opposition asks us to keep our distance and discernment: no politician, leader or authority figure has all the answers (in fact, given the context of this lunation, it is very likely that several of them will be revealed as superficial figures that lead nowhere).

Venus in Shadow in Pisces: Don't Despair

During this New Moon, Venus is already in its shadow period before it begins its retrograde on March 2nd. Venus, as the planet of worthiness, self-esteem, relationships, what we attract, and enjoyment of life, tells us that during this time there will be aspects of these areas that we will need to revisit. What we begin during this shadow period will likely need to be rethought or reevaluated when Venus begins its retrograde.

In Pisces, Venus is in its sign of exaltation . In other words, the influence of Venus is tremendously strong: it awakens in us a deep need for harmony, for connection, for feeling loved and appreciated. Here, Venus drives us to seek emotional certainties, to want that feeling of unity that makes us feel less alone. But are we really seeing clearly? This position can lead us to idealize situations or decisions that, deep down, are not what we need.

The message of this shadow Venus in Pisces is clear: wait . Don't make important decisions from a place of insecurity or unworthiness. It's easy to fall into the temptation of clinging to the first thing that comes along when we feel that need for certainty. It's like when we haven't dated anyone for a long time, and suddenly a person appears who doesn't attract us at all (either physically or personality-wise), but, in our desperation, we get involved. Over time, we look back and think: How could I have been with that person? Was it that bad at that time?

Don't settle for less than what you truly deserve. If you are patient and strengthen your sense of worthiness during the Venus retrograde cycle, you will later realize that what comes your way is much better.

(You will find the complete guide for the Venus retrograde of 2025 within the next few days.)

Uranus Stationary, 23° Taurus

Uranus (the modern ruler of this New Moon) will be stationary at the time of the lunation and will go direct the following day. Stationary planets intensify their energy , marking a time of instability and change. Uranus brings surprises: abrupt decisions, unexpected revelations, even headlines in the news that will leave us speechless. There is an evident need to release tensions, break patterns and seek rapid transformations.

However, Mars is still retrograde . Another sign that now is not the time to move forward or make drastic changes. Yes, stationary Uranus asks us to free ourselves from rigid ideas and open ourselves to new perspectives, but it will be much more prudent not to put them into immediate action: a change in the way of thinking is enough for now.

Corresponding Sabian Symbol: Aquarius 10, "A Popularity That Turns Out to Be Ephemeral."

(Don't you know what Sabian symbols are? Read the complete guide here )

The Sabian symbol for this new moon is Aquarius 10: A popularity that turns out to be fleeting . This symbol is in perfect harmony with the rest of the planetary positions of this lunation. It speaks to us of the humility necessary to recognize that what we may be devoting ourselves to—an idea, a project, a goal—has the potential to lose its meaning later on.

In its literal interpretation, this symbol is related to something that begins and then evolves into something else . Thus, this New Moon tells us that what we begin during it is not an end point or a definitive solution, but a bridge: an initial idea that will help us move towards a new stage , both on a personal and collective level. Its purpose will be to fulfill a temporary role, but then another change will come, another rethinking, which will take us one step further in the great transformation that we have just begun and that will last for the next 5 years at least.

Of course, this Sabian symbol will be reflected in the public image of various politicians and authority figures.

Questions to Reflect On:

1. Am I about to make a decision out of desperation or fear?

Reflect on whether what you are choosing truly resonates with you or if it is a way to fill a void.

2. What solution have I considered perfect for the past few days and need to re-evaluate?

Pause to consider whether that idea is actually viable or if it just seems ideal in this time of uncertainty.

3. Is there a politician or authority figure that I'm believing absolutely everything from?

Reflect on whether you are blindly believing in someone or something that you don't even know personally, you don't know their true motivations and therefore it might not be aligned with your values or needs.

4. How can I strengthen my sense of worthiness and avoid settling for something that doesn't fulfill me?

Identify areas where you may be lowering your standards and how you can connect with what you truly deserve.

5. How willing am I to be patient and respect the time it takes for things to settle?

Evaluate your ability to sustain the long-term vision without seeking immediate results.

6. In what area of my life do I need to maintain a more detached stance?

Explore if there are situations in which you are becoming too dramatic.

7. Am I aware that my emotional energy is valuable and I don't have to spend it so quickly?

Reflect on whether you are protecting your emotional energy or giving it away without considering whether it is worth it.

8. How am I navigating moments of uncertainty and transition?

Ask yourself if you are trying to control the uncontrollable or if you are allowing the process to flow at its own pace.

This New Moon is the Opportunity to:

1. Cool things down.

Allow yourself to take emotional distance and observe the situation clearly before reacting or deciding.

2. Do nothing.

Take advantage of this lunation to pause and reflect, without feeling the need to act immediately.

3. Postpone an important decision.

It's a good time to think things over, let ideas mature and make decisions later.

4. Analyze things with a critical perspective.

Take the time to ask questions, reflect and observe if your current thoughts are aligned with what you really need.

5. Be flexible in the face of change.

Recognize that how you see things now may not be how you will perceive them in a few months. Keep an open mind and avoid clinging to a single idea.

6. Evaluate which areas of your life are being left behind.

Reflect on what aspects of your life need rethinking and how you can think about them in a different way.

7. Connect with the collective and with your most humanitarian side.

Recognize that we are all connected and that your actions can contribute to improving the collective. Open your perspective beyond your immediate surroundings and consider how you can contribute to something bigger.

8. Introduce small changes that refresh your daily life.

Take advantage of this lunation to make minor adjustments that bring novelty and freshness, but without making structural changes yet.

What Beginnings Can You Expect in the House of Your Natal Chart Where This Lunation Falls?

Here are some possible beginnings depending on the area of life activated in your birth chart. Look for which house the degree 09°51' of Aquarius to discover where you might see things differently to begin mapping out that long-term transformation.

House 1: Beginnings, Identity and Personal Appearance

This is an ideal time to rethink who you are and how you present yourself to the world. However, this lunation is not about impulses or hasty decisions. Calmly reflect on the changes you want to make in your personal life and in the perception others have of you.

You may feel the desire to start something new that represents greater freedom and authenticity in your life. However, this is a process that requires patience. Ask yourself: does that idea or project that excites you really align with the version of yourself that you want to build? Or are you reacting from a need for change without considering the long term? Remember that the process will be gradual and must have a solid foundation.

House 2: Finance and Values

It's an ideal time to reflect on your resources and how you manage what you value. An idea may emerge that seems promising, but this transit is not about reaching definitive solutions, but rather about thinking of intermediate steps that can serve as a bridge to something bigger.

This is a good time to reevaluate what stability means to you and whether you are making decisions based on your true values or on fears and insecurities. Allow yourself to consider options calmly, knowing that this process takes time to take hold. A small idea can be the start of something much bigger, but not everything has to be resolved now.

House 3: Communication and Learning

This New Moon in the 3rd House is a good time to change the way you are looking at an idea or rethink how you communicate something important. Perhaps there is a thought or project that you have been wanting to develop for some time, but this transit asks you to analyze it from another angle before taking action.

It could also be a good time to let go of rigid ways of thinking or to observe whether you are too emotionally involved with something that, deep down, needs more distance to mature. Allow yourself to question your ideas and explore new forms of expression, without being tied to any immediate conclusions.

House 4: Home and Family

If this New Moon falls in your 4th House, it's a time to take a closer look at the dynamics of your home or the emotional roots that sustain you. Perhaps an idea will emerge about how to transform your space or your family relationships, but this lunation invites you not to look for definitive solutions, but to think of intermediate steps that will lead you toward greater balance.

It might also be time to rethink what home means to you and whether you are idealizing something that, upon closer inspection, does not fit your true needs. Take time to reflect before making significant changes: a small adjustment now can be the bridge to a deeper transformation in the future.

House 5: Creativity and Pleasure

Rethink how you relate to pleasure, creativity, or even your hobbies. This transit isn't about jumping straight into a creative project or a new activity, but rather rethinking whether what you're passionate about now has room to evolve or whether you need to explore something different.

It's a good time to look back at those rigid expectations that have limited you and to think about small steps that can renew your way of enjoying and expressing yourself. This lunation reminds you that pleasure and creativity don't have to be perfect or definitive; they can be a bridge to something more authentic and enriching in the future.

House 6: Health and Daily Routines

If this New Moon falls in your 6th House, it's an ideal time to rethink your habits, your routines, and how you're taking care of your physical and emotional well-being. You may be considering a change in your lifestyle or work environment, but this lunation asks you not to make any drastic decisions just yet.

It could be an opportunity to calmly analyze what small adjustments you can make now that will serve as a bridge to greater stability and balance in the long term. Reflect on whether you are holding on to habits that no longer work for you and how you could approach them from a more conscious and flexible perspective. This transit is not about making everything perfect right away, but about building step by step.

House 7: Relationships and Partnerships

If this New Moon falls in your 7th House, you might be reflecting on your closest relationships and the dynamics you share with others. You might feel the need to start something new in a relationship, or even consider a new connection, but this lunation invites you to go slow.

Take time to evaluate whether your decisions are being guided by insecurities or by a need for immediate certainty. This transit is not about seeking definitive solutions, but rather about analyzing how you can build more authentic and balanced bonds in the long term. Relationships that flourish under this energy will be those based on clarity, patience, and genuine connection.

House 8: Transformation and Shared Resources

If this New Moon falls in your 8th House, it's a time to explore in depth the changes you're going through, both emotionally and in terms of shared resources or important commitments. You might be tempted to make drastic decisions, but this lunation reminds you that true transformation takes time.

Reflect on whether you are facing certain fears or insecurities from a place of immediate reaction. This is an opportunity to rethink how to handle those processes with more patience, seeing each small step as a bridge to deeper, longer-lasting change. Don't look for quick fixes; focus on what can really take hold over time.

House 9: Expansion and Philosophy of Life

It's a time to question the beliefs that have been guiding your worldview. This includes your ideas about society, politics, or the collective direction. You might feel inclined to cling to an idea or ideology that seems to offer certainty, but this lunation asks you to step back and reflect critically.

This is a good time to rethink which beliefs really represent you and which ones need to be adjusted to the changes you are experiencing. You could start a learning process or open yourself to new perspectives that broaden your way of thinking, but without expecting definitive answers. The key is to let your ideas evolve step by step, knowing that this process is part of a larger change.

House 10: Career and Ambitions

If this New Moon falls in your 10th House, it's a time to reflect on your career path and how you're carving out your place in the world. You might be considering a new project, a change in your goals, or even rethinking what success means to you. However, this lunation isn't about making quick decisions, but about patiently and clearly analyzing what the next step is.

It's also an opportunity to ask yourself if your ambitions are aligned with what you truly value or if you're following external expectations. This transit invites you to view your professional growth as a long-term process, where every small adjustment can be a bridge to something more meaningful and sustainable.

House 11: Community and Long-Term Goals

If this New Moon falls in your 11th House, it's a time to reflect on your future goals and your relationship with the community. You might be reconsidering group projects, alliances, or even rethinking the impact you want to have on the collective. This lunation invites you not to rush into important decisions, but to take the time necessary to analyze whether those goals truly reflect your most authentic ideals.

It's also a good time to ask yourself how you can meaningfully contribute to the well-being of others beyond your immediate environment. This transit encourages you to think about small steps or adjustments that can serve as a bridge to a more genuine connection with the people and goals that really matter.

House 12: Spirituality and Subconscious

It's time to look inside and explore what's moving in your inner world. You could be facing subconscious patterns that need to come to light to be understood and transformed. This lunation invites you not to look for immediate answers, but to calmly observe what needs to be settled before acting.

It's also a good time to reflect on how you handle uncertainty and to allow yourself to let go of ideas or attitudes that no longer contribute to your well-being. Instead of looking for definitive solutions, focus on small internal adjustments that can serve as a bridge to greater clarity and emotional peace. This transit reminds you that true change begins from within.
