Aquarius New Moon- February 11, 2021
Tomorrow morning at 11:05am PDT we have a cosmic reset as the Sun and Moon come together in Aquarius. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn are all in Aquarius as well, adding potency to this lunation. When the moon is new, the night sky is dark. Over the past 4 weeks, the moon has gone through a purification process traveling through the zodiac. This new moon marks the beginning of a new lunar year and we are all invited to begin again.
Aquarius is the water-bearer, who pours out the waters of wisdom for all to share an understand. The energy of Aquarius represents thought, ideas, and intellect. Detached from emotion, Aquarius thinks about what is best for humanity.
The new moon, and lunar new year is a time to set an intention- a goal or dream authentic to you. As we transition from the energy of the Rat to the energy of the Ox, the tone will shift to one of hard work, integrity and honesty. Take some time over the course of the next couple of days to meditate, reflect, and write down your goals and dreams, especially where it is activated in your birth chart. I would suggest reading for your rising sign, but you can read your sun sign’s horoscope as well.
Happy New Year!
Horoscopes
Aries and Aries Rising
You are quick, impulsive, and ready for action, Aries. This past year has been one of frustration, especially when your freedom has been threatened. But if there’s anything we have learned during this time, it is not to take our connections for granted. It is our friends, our groups, and the community we belong to that give you the feeling of safety that we have all needed. This New Moon asks you to reflect on the connections you have with others, and to plant a seed of hope and optimism. This lunation reminds you that you belong to something larger than your self. Envision how you see yourself growing, learning, and helping others over this next year- offering the unique gifts and talents that no one else has!
Taurus and Taurus Rising
You are strong, steady, and immovable, Taurus. Over the past year our careers have all shifted and taken different shape- working from home, going to work with protective gear, or perhaps losing our careers altogether. Wherever you land on that spectrum, Taurus, this New Moon is a time for you to ask yourself what your highest career aspirations are. Dream big, but keep an open mind. Stubbornness won’t get you to success in this ever-changing landscape. Envision what you wish to accomplish, and put into motion a plan to get you there.
Gemini and Gemini Rising
Constantly on the go and gathering information, it’s hard to keep track of where you’ll be next, Gemini. The distractions of daily life can keep you from truly being present: texts, emails, logistics, appointments… This New Moon asks you to take a step back from all of these things fighting for your attention and to connect with something more meaningful. What inspires you? What brings purpose to your life? This is a moment to plant a seed for the next year and commit to asking yourself the big questions in life- what does it all mean? Why am I here? What is truth? Reflect on what the last year has meant for you, and move forward into this next year with an openness to learning, to finding new meaning, and to continuing to seek out adventures.
Cancer and Cancer Rising
You see the things that others easily miss, Cancer. The subtle cues, energetic shifts, and buried emotions swirling around you. Your intuition is one of your greatest strengths, and you have an inner knowing that is beyond logic and reason. This New Moon brings up deep emotions for you- grief, trauma, and emotional entanglements with others that are weighing you down. This is a moment to lean in to what you’re feeling and to explore the root of what is making you feel burdened. Ask yourself how you can move through this process of healing in a way that is compassionate, loving, and nurturing. Release the heaviness, the guilt, the shame, and the low vibrational energies that are keeping you in a holding pattern. This is a new beginning for you to feel light, open, and safe.
Leo and Leo Rising
Relationships are the focus of this lunation for you, Leo. This is a moment to take a step back, put your pride aside, and ask yourself if the relationships in your life need a reset. This may be a time to renegotiate a contract, set new boundaries, or release someone from your life altogether. You have the opportunity to reassess who you spend your time with, and make sure that you are only surrounding yourself with those who encourage you to be your best self. Take some time to reflect, and find gratitude for those in your life who are your greatest cheerleaders.
Virgo and Virgo Rising
You are hard-working, diligent, and focused, Virgo. You notice the details others overlook, and you strive for perfection. But as days blur together, and you continue to go through the motions of everyday life, do you notice anything missing? Perhaps it’s the big picture you’re not seeing. This New Moon asks you to bring harmony into your daily life- your work, how you take care of your body, and how you take care of your mind. You are more than the actions you take each day. It is up to you to create meaning in your every day life, and to allow this purpose and intent to keep you inspired, motivated, and centered.
Libra and Libra Rising
Seeing all sides of a situation is one of your gifts, Libra. You are fair, compromising, and desire peace. But this lunation is not about others, Libra, this one is for you. This New Moon asks you to tap into your creativity- to the part of yourself that is playful, carefree, and joyful. Close your eyes and ask yourself what you would be doing if your heart was wide open to all possibilities. What would you dare to create if you let go of the need to seek approval from others? This is a moment to ask yourself what you want to create and manifest in this world, to abandon any desire to blend in, and to shine brightly as your most authentic self.
Scorpio and Scorpio Rising
While your past has shaped you into who you are, Scorpio, it does not define you. This New Moon activates the part of your self that desires belonging, in the most deep-rooted sense. You are given an opportunity to recognize your past, and leave it behind you. What are you holding onto that’s weighing you down? Your family is not defined by those who you share blood with- your family is defined by those who make you feel held. This energy supports you in starting a new chapter in your life- one where you decide what it means to have a sacred space. Release the people, things, and circumstances that are keeping you from trusting that you are not alone, that you are loved, and that you do belong.
Sagittarius and Sagittarius Rising
You are the ultimate idealist, Sagittarius. This last year has certainly tested your optimism, and maybe made you feel trapped. But this New Moon asks you to pause before making a giant leap. Reflect on the people, places, and things you interact with daily- your neighbors, your commute to work, music you listen to, and the content you choose to consume. If your impulse is to run, then walk, and then stop. Freedom isn’t about running away from your obligations and tasks- freedom is found when you can connect with the most authentic and genuine part of yourself, and bring that forward into all of your interactions with others. This is a moment to take a deep breath and remind yourself that the limitations that you think are keeping you caged in are an illusion.
Capricorn and Capricorn Rising
Ambition and drive keep your nose to the grindstone, Capricorn. You work hard and value success. This New Moon asks you to lift your head for a moment, and notice if you have been on the hedonic treadmill. This is a time to take a step back and get back into alignment with who you are and what you value. Value is more than the number in your bank account. It is about integrity and honesty. Pause, and be honest with yourself- are you placing more value on things than on people? Are you choosing to ignore your student loans and credit card debt? At a certain point, you will have to face the music, and this is your chance to take back control of your life and give yourself realistic goals and deadlines.
Aquarius and Aquarius Rising
You are at the center of this lunation. Your identity, your vitality, and your spirit are all getting a fresh start. Your rebellious nature and carefree attitude about not caring what others think is firing on all cylinders, Aquarius. This is a moment to ask yourself if you are staying true to your most authentic and honest self. Have you compromised your own needs for the good of the collective? Have you been dissociated and detached to the point that you have forgotten how to be close to others? Plant a seed about who you want to be, where you wish to go, and what you want to manifest. Protect your sacred energy without shutting out those who love you.
Pisces and Pisces Rising
You feel all of the feelings, Pisces. You are deeply effected by your environment and those who are around you. Isolation wrecks havoc on your emotional and mental state, but solitude is the quietness you need in order to come back to center. This New Moon asks you to connect with spirit- to connect with the unshakeable part of yourself that no one else can know or understand- because it is something that transcends words, time and space. As you connect to this space, notice where you have felt vulnerable over the last year. When have you let the energy of others and your environment take you off course? When have you chosen to numb your feelings or escape into excessive eating, sleeping, and substance abuse? Reflect, but don’t judge. This is a moment to align in your own truth- to the part of you that is beyond human form, but still grounded in reality.
