New Moon in Aquarius: Meaning, Intentions and Ritual Ideas

A New Moon in Aquarius happens when the Moon and the Sun are together in the sign of innovation, usually between late January and late February. It is an open, forward-looking new moon that supports trying something new and connecting with like-minded people.

The theme of a New Moon in Aquarius

Aquarius is about ideas, friendship, independence and the future. A new moon here supports new projects, new communities and a different way of doing things. It invites you to be yourself and to share what is unusual about you.

Intentions that suit a New Moon in Aquarius

• Start a project with other people
• Try an idea that is not conventional
• Strengthen friendships
• Take a step toward a cause you believe in

A simple ritual

Write down one idea that you would like to try, even if it feels odd, and one person who might share your interest. Contact that person this week. Open a window and breathe for a minute, and imagine the future you want.

Journal questions

• What do I want to do differently?
• Who shares my interests?
• What future would I like to help build?

How a New Moon in Aquarius can feel

A new moon in Aquarius feels fresh and a little detached. You may want to try something unusual or to join others around a shared idea. It is a good time to look at the future.

What to avoid

• Starting something only to be different
• Planning for the world but not for your own week
• Setting an intention you share with no one

New Moon in Aquarius for each zodiac sign

A new moon opens a different area of life for each sign. Read the line for your rising sign first, because it shows where the new beginning falls in your chart, and then the line for your Sun sign. If you do not know your rising sign, your Sun sign is a good place to start.
