New Moon In Aquarius

Embracing the New Moon in Aquarius: A Shamanic Journey

The New Moon in Aquarius is arriving on Wednesday, 29 January 2025, at 11:36 PM AEDT, bringing with it an opportunity for transformation, innovation, and connection. The New Moon, dark and still, is a time for reflection, planting seeds, and envisioning the path ahead. Aquarius, an air sign ruled by Uranus and Saturn, urges us to break free from the confines of tradition and dream boldly about the future.

For me, this New Moon feels especially potent as I find myself on Day 2 of my bleed, aligning perfectly with the energy of the Moon’s dark phase. To bleed with the New Moon is to walk hand in hand with the rhythms of nature. This is a time of deep surrender, rest, and connection to the wisdom of my body. It’s a moment of retreat, of turning inward to honour the quiet space within where seeds of new beginnings are planted.

In my practice, I often view the New Moon as a potent portal—a sacred pause that asks us to dive within, align with our authentic selves, and begin again. Bleeding during this time amplifies the invitation to release, reset, and open to the vast possibilities of creation. It is a reminder that, just as the Moon will wax toward fullness, so too will our energy and intentions grow in the weeks ahead.

What to Expect: Elemental Energies

The energy of this New Moon offers us a sacred opportunity to pause, breathe, and align ourselves with the cosmic currents. Each elemental group will feel this lunation’s whispers differently. As you journey inward, let the elements guide you.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius):

Beloved Air beings, this is your Moon to soar. The visionary energy of Aquarius harmonises with your essence, calling you to dream boldly and weave your ideas into reality. You may feel a magnetic pull to share your truth or work with the collective in new ways. Speak your intentions aloud as words are your spellcraft under this Moon. Remember, the winds of change are yours to harness.

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius):

Fiery ones, this New Moon sets your inner flame alight with possibilities. Aquarius’ expansive energy encourages you to channel your creativity and courage into something new. Where are you being called to grow? How can your passion inspire others? Ritualise this energy by lighting a fire-safe vessel and burning your intentions, allowing the smoke to carry your prayers to the heavens.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces):

The deep emotional waters within you find clarity under this New Moon. Aquarius invites you to rise above the tides and observe with a detached yet loving gaze. Where have you been holding on too tightly? What emotional blocks can you release to create more freedom in your flow? Honour your inner waters by sitting with a bowl of blessed water during your ritual. Whisper your intentions to it, allowing it to hold and transform your prayers.

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn):

For you, dear Earth beings, this New Moon may feel like a gentle yet persistent call to step out of the comfort of the known. Aquarius’ energy encourages you to loosen your grip on structure and explore the magic of the unconventional. Trust that even the smallest cracks in your foundation can be portals to transformation. Hold a stone or crystal during your ritual to stay grounded as you lean into the unknown.

A Simple New Moon Ritual

To connect with the energy of this New Moon, I invite you to create your own ritual:

1. Set the Scene: Find a quiet, comfortable space and cleanse it with smoke, salt, or sound. Light a white or blue candle to represent Aquarian clarity and innovation.

2. Meditate: Close your eyes and visualise the darkness of the New Moon as a fertile void. Ask yourself, “What is ready to begin?” Let the answers come naturally.

3. Write Your Intentions: Write down your dreams, goals, or visions for the lunar cycle ahead. Be bold and specific.

4. Close with Gratitude: Thank the elements, the New Moon, and yourself for this moment of reflection. Extinguish your candle and ground yourself with something nourishing, like tea or a walk outdoors.

A Sacred Invitation to Reflect and Share

Grandmother Moon’s presence is deeply woven into my life. To bleed with her new light—to sit in the void of her shadow—is to journey into the depths of rest, renewal, and truth. For me, this sacred pause aligns perfectly with the stillness of the New Moon.
