4 Ways the Aquarius New Moon is changing the World for the Better!
/
A flying display of paper lanterns and festive celebrations will begin on January 31 as preparation for the Aquarius New Moon and Lunar New Year festivities start across the globe. The second New Moon of 2022, the electrifying Aquarius New Moon is the beginning of a new personal and collective era.
Reaching its peak at around 12:45 am EST on February 1 (9:45 pm PST on Jan 31), the Aquarius New Moon marks the start of a new four week lunation cycle centered around technological evolution, community building, and creative problem-solving.
After a tumultuous Venus Retrograde digging into your deepest relationship fears and financial limitations, this New Moon brings a cosmic push to slowly move forward with renewed faith in the future.
For some, this means embracing your new life in the limelight. For others, this means stepping back and taking a less active role (retirement announcements may be coming soon).
With Mercury ending its retrograde two days after the New Moon, take your time easing into your New Moon rituals and intentions. Instead of rushing ahead, perhaps spend the first few days of the lunation cycle reflecting and visualizing. Save any action-taking until after the Retrograde cycle clears.
While there are many attributes about the Aquarius New Moon, let’s focus on four of the most impactful ways this clarifying lunation is shaking up the world.
4 ways the 2022 Aquarius New Moon is the changing the world as we know it:
#1. Rethinking the future.
New Moons are generally happy and exciting times, but lately, have you noticed that New Moons have been feeling kind of heavy and dreary? Instead of manifesting, New Moons have been portals for release, extra rest, and cleansing. Many have been grieving through New Moons.
That’s because, since November 2021, New Moons have been occurring at the 12th degree in Astrology, a degree which is ruled by Pisces, the sign of completion, loss, isolation, dreams, and karmic ending.
With the 2022 Aquarius New Moon reaching its peak at a Pisces degree, this means that the current collective beliefs, trends, cycles, and ways of connecting are coming to a conclusion. And with Aquarius being a technologically advanced sign, these endings will most likely affect social media, big data, global networks/alliances, television, third-party streaming/providers, and your individual higher purpose.
Over the next six months, expect to see a flurry of series cancellations, lifestyle makeovers/ transformations, and finale announcements from your favorite artists, brands, and influencers. But don’t worry, most of the “farewell” announcements may not be mean goodbye for good — think of it as an opportunity for repositioning and improvement. The 2022 Aquarius New Moon wants you to think bigger and do better. Where are you closing a chapter in your life? How is your past shaping your future?
In your own life, the theme of ending may inspire you to rethink what you want for the future. It also encourages you to pause and practice gratitude for all you have in the present. Yes, there may be deep feelings of loss and loneliness over the next few weeks, especially as we move into Pisces season, but do your best to cherish the moment. Be here now. Do not dwell on the past.
The word for this New Moon is evolve.
#2. Establishing new forms of creative freedom.
If you’re looking to make the impossible possible, this is the New Moon time to start planning, just be prepared to put the effort in. Because of its Saturnian influences, the 2022 Aquarius New Moon will ultimately lead to more collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions over the next six months. Expect to see major creative partnerships being formed.
This surge of business innovation and wealth reconstruction is influenced by the Aquarius New Moon’s conjunction with serious Saturn. Saturn, the planet of responsibility, strategy, and professional maturity, brings profitable practicality to far-fetched plans. Use this energy to overcome barriers that have been standing in your way since 2016.
Almost halfway through the Saturn in Aquarius transit that ends in 2023, what are your long-term intentions for 2022? What foundation are you building now that you want to see evolve before Saturn exits Aquarius in 2023?
Use this transit to network, network, network! Connect with your community and secure the bag!
#3. Diversifying resources and assets.
Change is the only constant on Earth — nothing stays the same — the Aquarius New Moon is a reminder of that. Forming an awakening square to unpredictable Uranus, this New Moon calls for radical transformation. With Uranus in resource-savvy Taurus, this lunation encourages you to get out of your box and diversify your resources.
And before you rush and go invest in new things, take a pause and ask yourself, what tools do I already have at my disposal? What assets do I (or my support system) possess that can help me improve this situation? How can I be a better steward of my blessings?
Because squares often come with challenges, at times during the New Moon period, you may feel backed into a corner (Mercury is still in retrograde), but do not let your mind talk you out of your own greatness.
Where are you ready to voluntarily shake things up? Where are you ready to take control of your time and desires?
And for those feeling stuck and unmotivated, why are you waiting for something to come in and move you? What is stopping you from changing this situation yourself? Who or what are you surrendering your power to?
You can take charge of this energy by utilizing the many tools and resources available to you. Uranus’s influence wants you think outside the box. Uranus wants you to stop making excuses and playing the same losing cycle over and over again.
Use this New Moon energy to take a different path. Experiment. Uranus is here to assist you in your evolution.
The key to embracing this energy is learning how to flow within restrictions. You have the power and creativity to reinvent yourself.
#4. Celebrating the past.
During the two weeks post the Aquarius New Moon, don’t be surprised if unfinished projects, conversations, and power struggles come back around for a final spin. With Mercury retrograde and Pluto conjunct in Capricorn during the Aquarius New Moon, previous decisions regarding finances, relationships, and long-term goals are still under review.
This powerful conjunction is perfect for reassessing your current situation and visualize how you would like to set new boundaries or re-enforce old ones in the future.
One of the positives of the Mercury retrograde and Pluto conjunction aspect is celebrating the past. Over the next few weeks, there will be a rise in anniversary announcements and celebrating major milestones. More people will be honoring their history and native heritage. There may be reboots or re-releases of vintage pieces, archives, and content, especially in black communities.
For example, Arthur, a childhood classic for the 90s babies will officially be retired after 20 years in February, however, they are starting a podcast to continue the Legacy of Arthur. The final episode is also Aquarian in nature — it will feature an extended glimpse of the beloved characters in the future.
Final Thoughts:
Ultimately, the 2022 Aquarius New Moon is helping pave a more purposeful, pleasurable, and progressive path forward — pace yourself. The 2022 Aquarius New Moon brings opportunities to lay the foundation for future partnerships, connections, and leadership positions.
Yes, it’s important to note that Mercury is still retrograde, so things may feel sluggish until February 8 or 9th.
Also, New Moons operate in a six-month cycle, meaning, you probably won’t get a full picture of what this New Moon is doing until August.
August 2022 will be the breakthrough (or breakdown) point for whatever collective and personal themes unfold during the February 2022 Aquarius New Moon.
The 2022 Aquarius Full Moon will reach its climax on August 11, 2022.
