With so much happening during this Moon cycle, it can feel overwhelming to break it down into bite-sized pieces. Drowning in ideas—even delightful ones—doesn’t serve us. The symbol for Aquarius, an Air sign, is the Water Bearer—a reminder that we must not only feel our emotions but also shape them with awareness. Mastery of our feelings allows us to fully engage with life rather than be swept away by it. So, let’s distill this into something more manageable, shall we?
When I was young, I loved the community pool. I was thrilled when I finally graduated from the baby pool to the main pool—and then to the deep end. But before we were allowed to free swim in the deepest water, our coach had us dive down and touch the drain at the very bottom. Then, we had to plant our feet on the floor and spring back up to the surface. We did this several times before we were set loose on our own. The lesson? Once you know how to find the bottom, you also know how to push yourself back up for air. To do this is to know you are capable of Big Love in your life. You can swim with the adults and take care of yourself as you do!
This New Moon is your chance to touch the drain—to ground yourself, find your footing, and propel yourself upward with power. Once you do, you graduate to the whole pool. This year will bring deep-water moments, but by preparing yourself now, you’re creating a safe and empowered space to live your biggest, best life. You’ll know how to handle the depths—and rise to the surface with ease.
The Cards and Stars will help.
Thank you,

- It’s an excellent time to break free from limiting patterns and embrace a new, authentic path that aligns with your higher ideals. (Go find your deep end and start practicing)
Pluto Conjunct the New Moon: Transformation & Power
- Pluto’s involvement intensifies this lunation, making it a deeply transformative moment—what begins now has profound, lasting consequences. (Even if it is a small step in a new direction, over time the gains grow)
- Pluto brings power dynamics, psychological breakthroughs, and the death-rebirth cycle into focus—expect major revelations, deep emotional shifts, and a call to personal empowerment.
- It may stir hidden truths, subconscious fears, or suppressed desires, pushing for a radical inner and outer transformation. (Turn your lens inward and sit with your own emotional deep end – You can handle it now with a little care.)
Mercury in the Mix: Intellectual Awakenings & Revealed Truths
- Mercury’s presence highlights communication, ideas, and mental clarity—this is a moment for profound insights, bold conversations, and new ways of thinking.
- Expect important messages, breakthroughs in understanding, and potentially shocking or game-changing information to emerge.
- Since Mercury rules logic, learning, and social connections, this lunation encourages conversations that spark change and innovative solutions.
How to Work with This Energy:
- Set Bold Intentions – Focus on where you want to revolutionize your life.
- Embrace Change – Be open to deep, unexpected transformations.
- Pay Attention to Insights – What messages or intuitive nudges are coming through?
- Release Old Power Struggles – Step into your personal authority without fear.
- Connect with Like-Minded Souls – Aquarius energy thrives in community and collaboration.
How Moon/venus/Neptune impacts the Aquarius New Moon Themes:
With Pluto and Mercury already bringing deep transformation and intellectual breakthroughs, this Pisces influence adds:
✅ A Heart-Centered Softening – Where Aquarius is rational, this stellium adds empathy and emotional depth.
✅ Spiritual Awakening – A strong pull toward meditation, creativity, and divine connection.
✅ Romantic & Creative Energy – Ideal for soulful love, artistic expression, and dream-like inspiration.
✅ Trusting Intuition Over Logic – While the New Moon in Aquarius is innovative and cerebral, this brings a deep feeling and intuitive knowing into the mix.
✅ Surrender & Flow – Instead of forcing change, this energy teaches us to trust, flow, and align with divine timing.
The key to making the most out of this sweet meet up of Moon/Venus/Neptune is combine heart and head. Our hearts have up to 5,000 times the magnetic field of our heads. This is why we START WITH HEART. When you do it draws opportunities, resources and people to you that are a match for your energetic invitation. Then and only then does the mind start mapping out the how, not the what. The mind isn’t meant to choose what you love, it holds and better defines whatever you cherish and value. That match between container and what it carries is what makes the difference between a thimbleful of life or an ocean.
AStrology transits by Mike Lacey from Astrodaddy
January 29 – Wednesday – Fantastic day full of excellent energies! NEW MOON
- Full Moon in Aquarius – this is a time of new possibilities and to set new intentions around change, innovations and breaking free from old patterns. Aquarius is about forward-thinking, new ideas and embracing your authentic self. This energy supports thinking out of the box so start something new.
- Moon Trine Jupiter – this gives us emotional growth, expansion and optimism.
- Moon Sextiles Chiron – a healing evening. A breakthrough moment of self-compassion.
January 30 – Thursday –another terrific day! Today brings breakthroughs, forward momentum and expansive optimism.
- Uranus goes direct in Taurus 23degrees – this is a JOLT of energy – a shift that shakes things loose. Look for unexpected changes in routines, money, or long-term goals. Today may feel like a moment of clarity.
- Sun Trines Jupiter – this is one of the most expansive aspects in astrology – confidence, success and opportunities. Go for it!
January 31 – Friday – this is a day of emotional contrasts. The day has a seriousness to it, but it also balances emotional growth with discipline and structure. WHY?
- Moon Square Jupiter – This square suggests that your emotions may be in conflict with your desire to go big or take risks. This could manifest as – overindulgence, over promising or exaggerated emotional responses. Stay grounded and avoid making any impulsive decisions based on emotional reactions. Take a step back if you feel overwhelmed.
- Moon Conjunct Saturn – this energy is a completely different vibe from the morning and afternoon. Whereas the earlier was about emotional excess, this energy is serious, reflective and disciplined. This energy grounds things down toward emotional maturity.
February 1 – Saturday – A powerful day that blends love, creativity, spirituality and destiny. It’s an amazing alignment – this energy has not happened since 1848 and then it wasn’t even perfect whereas this energy is PERFECT at 28degrees Pisces at 937pm. This energy combines creativity, romance, spiritual – even with rose colored glasses with the north node there, it feels fated. Soulmate connections, artistic breakthroughs or a deep calling for something bigger than oneself.
- Venus Conjunct Neptune – this is the signature of the hopeless romantic, the visionary artist or the deeply spiritual lover. However, it can also bring illusions in love or a tendency to see things thru rose colored glasses – Careful.
- Venus Conjunct North Node – with the north node there – it feels destined
- Moon Conjuncts Neptune – this energy deepens intuition, dreams, and emotional sensitivity, making this a moment of heightened imagination, compassion, or even illusion.
- Moon Conjuncts North Node – Then, as the Moon meets the North Node (2:04 p.m.), emotions feel fated or significant, possibly bringing subtle but powerful realizations about your path or relationships.
- Moon Conjuncts Venus – Finally, the Moon conjuncts Venus (2:06 p.m.), enhancing love, beauty, and emotional harmony, making this an ideal moment for creative inspiration, deep emotional bonds, or heart-opening experiences.
The Moon acts as a catalyst in this alignment, bringing emotional awareness and activation to the Venus-Neptune-North Node conjunction. Since Venus and Neptune already create an atmosphere of romanticism, creativity, and spiritual connection, and the North Node points toward destined experiences and growth, the Moon’s presence personalizes and amplifies these energies.
By the time all three—Venus, Neptune, and the North Node—align perfectly at 28 degrees (9:37 p.m.), the Moon has already stirred these themes within the emotional and subconscious realms, making this energy feel deeply personal and potentially life-altering. This could manifest as a romantic or spiritual awakening, a moment of artistic inspiration, or an emotional realization about your greater purpose.

- Moon Trine Sun – Things start to ease up quickly, as the Moon forms a trine with the Sun. This aspect brings a sense of emotional and personal alignment, helping you regain confidence after the tough Saturn square.

This conjunction gives you confidence in your ideas and words, making it an excellent time for decisive conversations, writing, problem-solving, and strategic planning.
- Mars Trine Saturn – This aspect brings determination, endurance, and productive action.

- Mercury Square Uranus – This aspect brings mental restlessness, sudden insights, and unexpected news. Mercury (communication, thought processes) clashing with Uranus (disruption, surprises) can create a day where plans shift unexpectedly, conversations take unexpected turns, or technology acts up. Your mind might be racing with ideas, but they could feel scattered or erratic. There’s potential for brilliant, outside-the-box thinking, but also for misunderstandings or impulsive speech. Be flexible. Pause before reacting too quickly to surprises.
February 11 – Tuesday– This day is about opportunities for growth but also sudden shake-ups in identity or direction. A mix of emotional optimism in the morning, followed by a potential identity shake-up or sudden change later in the day. It’s a time to expect the unexpected and embrace shifts rather than fight them.
- Moon Sextiles Jupiter – A feel-good, optimistic energy starts the day. The Moon (emotions) harmonizing with Jupiter (expansion, luck) brings a sense of ease, confidence, and generosity. You may wake up feeling hopeful, enthusiastic, or ready to take on a new opportunity. It’s a good time for networking, learning, and making decisions that align with long-term growth.
- Sun Square Uranus This is where the day shakes things up. The Sun (ego, identity, purpose) clashing with Uranus (sudden change, rebellion) can bring unexpected disruptions to your plans or a strong desire to break free from restrictions. You may feel restless, rebellious, or eager to challenge authority or limitations. This transit often brings unexpected twists—something might force you to rethink your approach or adjust quickly. The best way to navigate this is to stay open to change and be willing to adapt, rather than resisting it.
