A new moon heralds a new cycle, but the new moon in Aquarius on 29th January 2025 also marks another beginning - the Chinese lunar new year. I still haven't quite worked out the esoteric meaning behind this annual coincidence.
Astrologically, this is a great time to sow seeds of intentions. Get your pen and paper out. You can make up to 10 wishes from the start of the start of the new moon in Aquarius on Wednesday 29th January 2025 at the following times, depending on your time zone:
San Francisco, USA PST (UTC -8) 04:36
Montreal, Canada EST (UTC -5) 07:36
London, UK, GMT (UTC 0) 12:36
Hong Kong, AWST (UTC +8) 20:36
Sydney, Australia AEDT (UTC +11) 23:36
Aquarius is a sign of innovation and originality. It's about being unique, revolutionary and humanitarian. Aquarius is about how we, as individuals, can use our ingenuity for the greater good.
Aquarius is also about stepping out of your existing zone of comfort and take a leap of faith into the unknown.
Aquarius represents the ankles, calves, circulatory system and varicose veins.
To fully utilise this energy, align your personal wishes to these Aquarian concepts.
Here are some examples:
💰Money/💻Career:
'I easily attract a job which pays well and allows me to utilise my skills so I can contribute to the world.'
'Money flows to me smoothly, allowing me to have a decent living and be able to give back to the
community.'
💓Love:
'I break free from the existing pattern, which hinders me from having a harmonious relationship with my partner.'
'I easily attract a partner with similar values, and together we create something of value to humanity.'
💪Health:
'I break free from bad habits (XXX) which stop me from having better health.
'I find a suitable way to solve my problem regarding my ankle/calves/circulatory system/varicose veins.'
As you can see, it's about phrasing your wishes to break free from your current situation, in order to usher in a new wave of energy into your life. Think outside the box and step out of your comfort zone. Be unique and do something you haven't done before. And most importantly of all, once you are strong enough to provide for yourself, give back to the community.
According to Jan Spiller's New Moon Astrology, it is recommended to make your new moon wishes within the first 8 hours, as that is the most potent period. The wishing period lasts 48 hours. There is a concept of 'void of course moon', where matters being conducted under this time will be hard to succeed, so we tend to avoid that if this falls into our 48-hour time frame.
For the current new moon in Aquarius, make your wishes under the following 2 time slots to maximise the benefit:
1) Wednesday 29th January 2025 20:36 to Thursday 30th January 2025 19:26
2) Friday 31st January 2025 06:53 to 20:36
(This is for Hong Kong, please adjust for your time zone. Let me know if you need help with the conversion.)
During this new moon, we also have Mercury (planet of thoughts and communications) conjunct with Pluto (planet of transformations). Take advantage of this chance to make wishes on removing addictive behaviours, releasing old patterns and transforming negative thoughts.
Rise above the ashes as the Golden Phoenix and soar into the sky of possibilities. We can each be a phoenix and make our own contribution to humanity.
