How can you be a sign of change this week?
I've been skipping my Moon Phase Mondays in the last couple weeks because there's been so much going on, but this week's phase is HELLA relevant.
We are going to be seeing a New Moon in Aquarius on Wednesday this week as well as two retrogrades (Mars & Jupiter).
We also just entered Aquarius season on the 20th (man, so much happened that day) and we will be switching from Yule to Imbolc this coming Saturday.
New Moons are the time to set your intentions for this lunar cycle, which are the four(ish) weeks that stretch from New Moon to New Moon.
We always see the New Moon first, then the First Quarter, Full, and Last Quarter before moving into the next lunar cycle with another New Moon.
So, in those four weeks(ish) of this lunar cycle, what do you want to accomplish?
Those are the intentions that we are setting with this New Moon in Aquarius.
And Aquarius is a very interesting sign to be experiencing given the current state of the world...
It is the humanitarian. The forward-thinking eccentric weirdo who says shit just to be shocking.
They are original and innovative, and they have an affinity with technology.
They are most concerned about the forward progression of humanity as we learn, do, and accomplish more.
The Aquarians like to shock people into moving forward.
AND we've also entered the realm of the Age of Aquarius as well as Pluto in Aquarius.
Each Age lasts for roughly 2150 years and the Age of Aquarius began when the Sun moved into the sign on the spring equinox (in the northern hemisphere).
Pluto, however, moves signs every 23(ish) years and switched to Aquarius in 2023. This planet is considered the generation maker and breaker. It is a heavy hitter as the biggest planet in the solar system.
Moral of the story, there is a TON of intense Aquarius energy going on right now.
And Aquarians love revolution.
Last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1777 to 1798, do you remember what was happening during that time?
Massive scientific breakthroughs like discovering photosynthesis.
Pivotal inventions like the bicycle, hot air balloons, flushing toilets, bifocals, and submarines.
So use the Aquarians focus on forward momentum as we go through this New Moon this week.
And we're also getting a dose of youthfulness and regeneration with Imbolc starting on Saturday.
Imbolc is known as the celebration that occurs when winter is on its way out. In Europe, there are many traditions where people rejoiced when the first flowers (typically crocuses) popped out of the snow cover. They're a sign that winter will be over soon.
With this New Moon energy in Aquarius, how can you be the crocus that pops out of the snow?
How can you be a sign of change? Of forward momentum and progression?
That's the question to ask yourself as you set your intentions.
