What the New Moon in Aquarius means for your zodiac sign

On the 29th of January 2025, we have a new moon in Aquarius. In astrology, a new moon represents new beginnings, transformation, growth and reflection. It is an opportunity for intention setting, and ensuring that your future goals are laid out. Take inspired action during a new moon, in time to revisit when the full moon comes around. 

Aquarius is a visionary. An open-minded free thinker, Aquarian's bring a transformational edge to everything they touch. They think of the collective, looking at the humanitarian aspects of society, and they can be creative and quick to adapt to new ideas. 

In Aquarius, the new moon perfectly compliments our need to adapt, and to change. Solutions to any problems we may have had will come to us, and we will be able to action them appropriately. An Aquarian can work independently, but this is also a great time to establish collaborative bonds you may have with people who you could work well with. Emotional bonds are strong during this new moon, so nurture those if you can. Aquarians are original, so during this new moon, identify any originality you can bring to your life. 

This new moon in Aquarius in particular calls for honesty: honesty in communication, honesty with yourself, honesty in what you set your mind to and what you can achieve. This is because the Aquarius moon energy is interacting with a lot of Aquarian energy, which calls in a need for rebellion and surprising change. The collective energy is so strong right now, especially because the sun is in Aquarius, Mercury is in Aquarius and Pluto is also in Aquarius. Following the new moon in Aquarius on the 29th of January, we will see Uranus station direct in Taurus. Uranus, the planetary ruler of Aquarius, calls for chaos and disruption, and really leans into the Aquarian rebellion streak. So don't be surprised if you find yourself breaking some rules, and feeling a need to embrace a new way of life. 

Here's what to expect from the new moon in Aquarius, and what it means for your sign. 

Aries: 

Group values and social awareness are going to be on your mind right now. You might feel the need to truly think of your future. If you're in a dead end job and fancying a change, now is the time to set those plans into motion. What does your life look like a year from now? If you don't know, refine this image of the future you. Social progress is vital for you right now, so don't ignore help. Work with your friends, your family, your partnerships, your colleagues. You'll achieve more together. 

Taurus:

Get serious about your career goals and ambitions right now, Taurus. It's all about long-term goals and what structure you need to implement to get there. You may find that attention comes your way. Perhaps you step into the spotlight, or you might surprise people with your ways of thinking. Fathers or male figures may show up for you during this new moon. 

Gemini: 

You're feeling an itch to know more. You want answers, and you're seeking new horizons. This could be related to your working environment, but it may skew more towards your ability to experience a new way of being. If you're travelling, you will have an opportunity to enrich your mind. Thoughts of new ways to flex your knowledge will be felt. Perhaps you even discover something you thought wasn't true. 

Cancer: 

Intimacy is on your mind right now. It doesn't necessarily mean sexual intimacy, though you will be pulled towards more meaningful connections. You might find that you want to share sides of yourself with others that you haven't shared before. In partnerships, this could manifest as taking a serious step into your relationships. Questions around finances and where you get your finances from will need answering. 

Leo:

You'll be thinking a lot about equality. What does that mean to you? Are you seeing inequalities around you? Remember that the new moon and indeed the Aquarian energy right now is showing up as the collective, so don't be surprised if you find yourself called to charitable ways of working. In your relationships, you might strike lucky with a partner. There's a romantic air around you right now. A contract might present itself to you: think carefully before signing, but know that you're in a good place. 

Virgo:

Other people might get on your nerves right now, Virgo, and while that is okay, try not to lose your temper. The collective need organising, and you're going to want to do everything you can to get that in place, but that's a big task. You're better off noting the details within your collective, and assigning roles that are partnered to someone else's strengths. Observe before acting. 

Libra: 

There's a lot of fun to be had during this new moon, Libra. Make your future goals with a creative flair. You might be called to reconnect with your childhood, or something that brings you joy. You're often looking at ways you can help others, but right now you need to find balance within yourself. People will count on you right now to bring the light, so don't dim it. 

Scorpio: 

The first thing you need to do is identify how you feel about something. Reflect on it, and ask yourself how you can overcome any overbearing emotions. This will then grant you the foundations to be able to stay rational, calm and responsive during the changes that will come in the next few months. Look after yourself, with a particular focus on the women in your life. 

Sagittarius: 

For the next two days while the moon is new, journal. Journal in the morning, preferably, but what's important is getting your ideas out on the page. This will bring to light sparks of ideas that you can elaborate on and bring to the table. Don't worry if people don't see your vision straight away or tell you no. What's important is the idea has stuck with you. Now, over the next month, allow that idea to grow. 

Capricorn: 

You're in a beneficial place right now, and you feel like you have what you need. If you feel like you've had too much, don't be afraid to let some of it go. Ask yourself: do others need this more than me? If you feel you have too little, take stock of your situation and ask yourself if that is true. Your daily routine will feel fulfilling, and you will be feeling like you are leaning in to healthy habits. Money might come to you, so this is a great time for money manifestations. 

Aquarius: 

Your emotions right now might be feeling a little tense, and you're encouraged to do something for you. Don't be so hard on yourself if you feel like your appearance hasn't changed the way you hoped it would. Your attitude right now will be reflective of what you surround yourself with. Know that all of this Aquarian energy can be harvested for your greater good. There's a lot of change of self, even if you don't necessarily see it yet. 

Pisces: 

The way you're feeling is not because of you, it's because of the people you surround yourself with. You're being asked to consider how they might feel, and why that is. Your mind, however, is elsewhere, drifting into the subconscious, asking yourself spiritual thoughts. You might feel the need to address the hidden side of life.
