Freedom is found when we let go of who we are supposed to be and embrace who we really are. – Unknown
The Aquarius New Moon will grace the sky beginning at 2:59 pm ET on Friday 9th, and then we are welcomed with the Lunar New Year the following day. With the moon finishing out her cycle she began in 2023, the Lunar New Year is a symbolic representation of an emotional rebirth. Take a moment to think about what areas of life you've grown (and fallen short) in from an emotional standpoint without judgment and embrace yourself authentically.
This energy reminds me of a fortune cookie I keep in my phone case that says Don't look at how far you have to go. Instead, look at how far you've gotten. As a collective, I feel we need this reminder as we continue to prepare for the future.
Remember to enjoy the journey. We get so caught up on what's next that we forget to take a step back and acknowledge our growth. Don't shame yourself even if you find yourself within the same patterns. Acknowledge what is and make a conscious effort to change your circumstances. Freedom is a state of mind so for this new moon, embrace who you are at your core and glow like the star you are!

Aries
You may feel like you're in limbo or between two worlds during this moon, Aries. Yes, this energy can bring you more vitality, but as you progress your environment is changing and is calling you to adapt. New levels of commitment are here in love and partnerships. If you are thinking about collaborating, partnering up, or merging your business, the challenge would be no longer having the freedom you once had. In relationships, you may find that there is some resistance to the path the relationship is heading. Take some time to sit with any problems that you are facing before expressing your concerns to others. There is a path of least resistance, it may just take you some time to find it.
Taurus
The overall goal for you in this season is to have a well-rounded lifestyle. You may be going through some stressful times, especially in your career. Revisit your daily routes and designate days of the week for certain tasks. You have the potential to streamline your life to have the structure you need to see your manifestations to fruition. Make sure to take some time in solitude and meditate on ideas you have to get clarity. If you have a creative idea for your business, make sure you create an outline of what you need to make the process as seamless as possible. If you have a hobby, you might want to take it more seriously as this idea can bring in an extra stream of income.
Gemini
When they go low, you go high. Take some time to meditate on what brings joy into your life and what is best for your highest good. You may be called to reevaluate your relationships, and values, and be open to developing new philosophies. You may want to dive deeper into creative projects or research topics such as how the inner child subconsciously affects your love life. Explore and take time to digest what you’ve discovered. Also, this is a wonderful time to plan out any trips you’ve been wanting to do but let life get in the way. Go somewhere tropical or sunny to get some much-needed vitamin D.
Cancer
It may get intense for you with this new moon, Cancer, and the best thing to do at this time is ride waves. Family matters may be a hot topic at the moment and some secrets may be revealed. Even though things may get a bit chaotic, trust that you are not powerless in this. Tap into your magick; take what’s given to you and transmute it. Work with your Ancestors and do a healing candle for your lineage. Spiritual and psychic upgrades are available to you at this time if you tap in. Remember that turning pain into profit is true alchemy. Also, this is a great time to declutter your home and donate clothes that you barely wear.
Leo
All the other signs are focused on the future with this Aquarius New Moon but, Leo, The Divine wants you to look at your past. This nostalgia can help you gain a deeper understanding of why your life has played out the way it did. It may feel like a Mercury Retrograde for you because past lovers may come back into the mix. It may be good for you to have a conversation with them to either get closure or uncover patterns within yourself. Depending on your childhood or earlier years of life, there might be some unresolved issues that you may want to process. Make sure to give yourself some extra love and reflect to see how you can bring more awareness to your actions. Developing a mindfulness practice will help you at this time.
Virgo
You may be pumped up this new moon ready to give it your all. The key here is to not overwork yourself. Make sure you find some type of work-life balance. It’s perfectly fine to indulge in things you desire every now and then. Trust that you are about to reap what you’ve sown because an unexpected windfall of abundance is here. You may also want to revisit and revamp your schedule, routine, and even rituals to see if they still align with where you want to go. Take this time as an adjustment period because it’s game time once spring hits.
Libra
Nobody can tell you nothing this new moon, Libra, because you looking good, smelling good, and the attraction energy is through the roof! This is a good time to go out and paint the town red! Who knows, you may meet a hot new fling. This potent energy can bring in a lot of good fortune. This is a great time to kick off or launch a project as you will see success in it. Make sure you get very focused and write down your intentions because this energy will usher in the new beginnings you’ve been wanting for a while now. Also, people may call you a little spicy, but I feel like it’s warranted. Stand your ground and take no stuff because you don’t have time for anything that will disrupt your peace and happiness.
Scorpio
Scorpio, we all know you can get it out of the mud, and with this new moon, you are right in your element. And with this heightened energy, you may not want to be bothered so you can get focused. You might as well tell your friends and family you may go ghost for a bit because your creative juices are flowing and you have a masterpiece to bring into this physical realm. For some (not all), you are using this time to conceive (be safe out here if you aren’t trying to) or you may be giving birth (congrats!). If you aren’t creating a human being, then you are birthing a business idea or some type of creative project. Whichever way this energy shows up for you make the most of it.
Sagittarius
The time has come to come out of hermit mode. When is the last time you’ve seen your friends or siblings? Do a check-in and give them a call, video chat, and/or schedule a nice brunch date or something. Who knows, a conversation that you all have may spark some ideas that will bring you success later on. Also, this is a great time to think about what you want this next season to look like for you. Journaling your thoughts or creating voice memos can provide more clarity and guide you in a direction you may not have initially thought of. This energy is helping you think outside the box to prepare you for a bright future.
Capricorn
Your career and public image are highlighted during this new moon in a major way. Be ready for an influx of work, clients, recognition, fame, etc. This is only the beginning of this increase, Capricorn, so get ready! The best thing you can do at this time is to take time to map things out. Make sure you are covered and have a firm foundation in this season of abundance. New ideas may flow to you or you may get “ah ha” moments that will help you gain deeper understanding. Remember to take a step back every now and then to reflect. You have come a long way and learned a lot of lessons; be gentle with yourself and make time to celebrate.
Aquarius
Happy Birthday & Solar Return!! It’s all about you this season, Aquarius, so if you want to just chill and not go all out for your birthday that’s totally fine. You may be taking/planning a trip or taking a staycation so you can recenter. Your faith and spirituality are highlighted at this time so you could either feel uplifted or discouraged. Reflect on a time when you thought all hope was lost, yet you and your spiritual team made a way out of “no way”. Let that be your mustard seed of faith to get you through. Also, spiritual & psychic upgrades are here if you are open to receive. You may get messages and signs on where you need to steer your life. Follow the callings, my fellow Aquas.
Pisces
You have been working hard to stay on top of things and stand on business but sometimes you may find yourself backsliding. Don’t beat yourself up, Pisces, notice that you are becoming more aware of the patterns and cycles in your life which puts you ahead of the curve this go ‘round. You are changing, and the choices you make during this season will determine the path you’re going down. Refocusing on your vision will keep you motivated and soon enough you will gain the discipline you need to truly transform your life. If you have been toying with a creative idea, Pisces, go ahead and see it though. Put yourself and your goals first and watch how your life changes.
