All About The Aquarius New Moon: Sparkling Beginnings and Manifestation Magic
By now, you’ve probably felt the energy of January: slow, deliberate, even a little stuck at times. That’s because we started the year with Mars in retrograde, followed by some transits that had us purging what simply didn’t align. But as the month draws to a close, the energy shifts dramatically, and it all begins with the powerful Aquarius New Moon at 10º on January 29th.
This is the kind of lunation that makes you sit up and dream a little bigger. With Jupiter trining both the Sun and the Moon, opportunities are everywhere. Add Pluto into the mix, and this New Moon is packed with power and intention-setting potential. Even Uranus, Aquarius’s ruling planet, steps in to shake things up in the best way possible, fueling forward momentum where Mars had been slowing things down.
And let’s not forget, this New Moon coincides with the Lunar New Year, welcoming the Year of the Green Wood Snake. This year will be one of wisdom, transformation, and recalibrating our approach to life’s challenges, but we’ll save those details for the next newsletter. For now, let’s focus on the magic of this moment. Shall we?
Every degree in astrology has its own unique energy, and 10º Aquarius is no exception. This degree blends Aquarius’s natural knack for innovation with a grounding sense of practicality. It’s about creating change that benefits the collective while staying true to yourself.
Think of it this way: Aquarius loves to challenge the status quo, but at 10º, there’s an understanding that lasting impact requires collaboration. This is the perfect degree for setting intentions that are both bold and grounded. Whether you’re manifesting personal growth, professional success, or new relationships, this New Moon asks you to dream big and plan smart.
And while January started slowly, this new moon brings the fresh energy we’ve all been waiting for. With Jupiter offering its abundant blessings, you’re likely to notice doors opening that felt closed just weeks ago. Pluto ensures that the changes you’re making now are transformative and long-lasting.
If you’ve been holding off on setting resolutions or goals for the year, this is your green light. The Aquarius New Moon isn’t about small tweaks, it’s about revolutionizing the way you think, act, and create.
A Fun New Moon Manifestation Ritual:
Let’s lean into Aquarius’s love for innovation with a manifestation ritual that’s equal parts fun and powerful:
Gather your tools: Three blank index cards, a pen, and a favorite crystal (amethyst or clear quartz work well).
Write your “sparkling options”: On each card, write down one goal or intention for the year. Make them bold and specific.
Add your “fuel”: Below each goal, jot down one small, actionable step you can take to move toward it.
Light it up: Hold the cards and your crystal in your hands. Close your eyes and visualize each intention as a glowing light in front of you. Picture these lights connecting to form a constellation of your future.
Launch your intentions: Place your cards in a visible spot for the next week. Each time you see them, take one small action toward your goals.
This ritual is designed to match the forward-thinking energy of Aquarius. It’s not about perfection, it’s about starting, trusting, and letting the Universe amplify your efforts.
