This year’s New Moon in Aquarius coincides with the Chinese New Year, and it brings an expansive, courageous, dream-big mentality. For some, hope is back in their self-talk with a boost of enthusiasm. After this weekend, you will notice the shift, and life will start to move faster. In fact, this will be the ideal weekend to hone in and re-evaluate your goals and New Year’s resolutions.
Why You need to Re-visit your New Year’s Resolutions Now
2023 began with three retrogrades that kept us all tied up, in a holding pattern, and unable to feel we were making progress. So, creating long-term plans and goals was overshadowed by the undertone of do-overs, blockages, and feeling stuck. Yet, any standstills you faced were only temporary. After January 22, all of the planets will be direct and bring some tremendous opportunities for achievement. Until then, you are tasked with being able to pivot in life, relationships, career, finances, or goals.
Since this is the 1st New Moon of the year, the themes center around creating or re-visiting your 2023 New Year’s resolutions. With Jupiter connected to the New Moon, the symbolism encourages you to go big and be expansive, without limitations or limited thinking. It is highlighting your need to be independent, brave, courageous, and trust in Divine Timing. Now, the ruler of Aquarius is going direct the weekend of the New Moon and adds a bit of a wildcard influence. There’s the element of unexpected, out-of-the-blue events, meetings, or sudden decisions that can switch the direction or trajectory of your dreams.
New Beginnings + Courage
The New Moon carries the energy of dreams infused with themes of freedom, authenticity, uniqueness, creativity, and an abundance of courage, ambition, motivation, and self-determination. Used in a positive way, this cosmic energy will propel you into new ideas, dreams, and spaces. You can finally feel decisive, take the next step, or launch new projects, inventions, and initiatives with enthusiasm. As we all adjust to this unstoppable energy? What spark will it ignite in you to accomplish new goals, or go further than you have before?
The spiritual components of this New Moon are subtle. Yet, the message of being held accountable for why you were born. Your life and soul’s calling are being activated. What’s the subtle calling that’s been pulling at your heart, awareness, or just a random thought or synchronicity in the last few days?
We all have distractions via life or daily concerns that keep us in a holding pattern of fear, lack, and a void. I call them the physical concerns of the root, sacral, and solar plexus topics. To fully access the meaning, and messages of this New Moon’s energy, you need to step away, rise up, and bridge your consciousness. Try to mediate out of the space of life’s concerns and journey into your stellar gateway chakra energy. Journey to the Hall of Records, tap into your Akashic Records but do so with intentions. The intent of knowledge for your highest and greatest good. The intent of breakthroughs towards living your life and soul’s calling.
Where will it Unfold?
To really hone in on where your achievement will be manifesting, look at your House of Aquarius specifically the 2nd degree of Aquarius to gauge where you have opportunities for the next 30 days. Then, find your House of Aries. This is where Jupiter is transiting. Since it only occurs every 12 years think back to see if any themes from 12 years ago are repeating. Your House of Aries is where you could be having an influx of energy, drive, ambition, breakthroughs, and opportunities.
Soul’s Calling Re-visited
In December 2020, we had a once-in-a-lifetime astrological event called the Great Conjunction. At 0 degrees of Aquarius, its degree will be awakened during the next 200 years when it is touched by an eclipse, major transits, or a New Moon or Full Moon. Until it is activated, its energy, wisdom, potential, and spiritual meanings will remain hidden and dormant. Now, this New Moon will open a door, portal, gateway, or opportunity to deeply connect on a soul level to access wisdom, purpose, and new directions.
