January 2020 | New Moon in Aquarius
AQUARIUS NEW MOON
the first new moon of 2020 and of this new decade is transiting in aquarius at 4° on january 24, 2020; square uranus in taurus (opportunities to make positive changes in your life that may influence you out of your comfort zone - may also experience unexpected breakthrough moments or developments), venus in pisces sextile jupiter in capricorn (opportunities of expanding luck in love or money should work out in your favor), and venus in pisces square mars in sagittarius (projections of anger, aggression irritation, or insecurities towards love/connections and money), and mercury in aquarius (crystal clear thinking, intuitive judgement, lots of insight coming through).
this aquarius new moon occurs on 1/24/2020, which equals to 11 (1+2+4+2+0+2+0=11).
aquarius is the 11th sign in the zodiac wheel, also ruling the 11th house. 11 in numerology is the mastery of number 2, which represents connection - the bridge between self and others. it reminds us to work in unison with others (harmonious connection) without thinking we need something in return or build bonds off of benefits. but 11 could also represent separation (1 and 1) - indicating the ending of connections or need for space (boundaries).
the new moon is also within 4 degrees of aquarius, which in numerology, 4 represents structure, planning, stability, grounding, commitment, boundaries (everything that saturn, aquarius ancient ruling planet, highlights on).
4 is also equivalent to the master number 22, which represents what you build or create is made tangible and becomes your reality because you’ve done the work to align things that way.
the numbers or recurring numbers of 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, and 22 may appear during this time.
during this time, we will experience wake up calls (realization, revelations on a spiritual and personal level, awakenings), the urge to rebel with a purpose (freedom, liberation, break free of restriction, alter the paradigm of past structures, extricate from oppressive systems, release attachment to past), focusing on future endeavors (planning, creating goals out of innovative ideas), expressing ourselves authentically (being yourself and not caring what others think), creating meaningful connections (networking, deepening bonds, solidifying partnerships, making new friends), and etc.
how to make the most of the aquarius new moon
although this is a new moon and usually new moons seem very action oriented, being in the sign of aquarius, it involves introspection. you’re basically reconstructing from the inside out and bringing that clarity you find within yourself into the outside world. therefore, this aquarius new moon should feel almost like silence, lighthearted, fun, and calm waters. use this opportunity to dive into your thoughts and question or challenge everything then share it with the world!
expand your awareness (shift your perspective)
aquarius is the sign that bridges us between capricorn (matter) and pisces (spirit). it is multidimensional - it detaches from all realities (inner and outer) to observe each world as one. aquarius uses spirit to gain a higher perspective and the awareness of matter to see the whole picture.
what area of your life are you not seeing the bigger picture?
what issues do you have that may require a new approach or perspective on to receive the results you desire?
free yourself (break free of restriction)
aquarius doesn't like to be restricted (feeds off of freedom and expansion). now is the time to embrace the idea that we are allowed to shift our perspectives and develop new ways of how to live life. the following are forms of restrictions that you should consider breaking free of:
self-imposed limitations and mental imprisonment (thoughts)
traditional beliefs, morals, values, ethics
outdated behaviors, habits, addictions and patterns
playing it safe
your fear and doubt for stepping out of your comfort zone is a projection that you believe you are only capable of having what you already have and nothing more (limiting yourself capacity and capabilities)
being in survival mode
constantly feeling like you lack something may attract more lack and constantly feeling like you have to be in survival mode may increase fear, anxiety, and stress.
may experience | feelings of stubbornness, uncertainty, resistance to change, or stuck and stagnant energy when embracing the idea of freedom.
manifest (plant your seeds of intentions)
aquarius governs the 11th house of hopes, dreams, and wishes so this is definitely the moon you’ll want to manifest your intentions with.
with it being in the sign of aquarius, the dreamer, we should also use this time to reconnect with ourselves in order to plant seeds of intentions that will turn our dreams into achievable, yet purposeful and tangible goals.
suggestions | create a vision board, write down all of your goals - be specific about what you need to start your goals and write those down as well, start off with small goals that you know you’re able to uphold, ask yourself: what cause am i doing this for? what is the purpose of me investing in these goals? will they benefit me? can i make use of these goals?
warning | your manifestations may come to fruition in different forms within the next couple of weeks, so my best suggestion for you is to stay open-minded and detach from the outcome.
clearing the way
aquarius is an air sign, which means it needs air to think clearly.
if you’re seeking clarity and the signs/answers are not showing up, do not get discouraged. this may be a result of multiple reasons:
you need to get some fresh air, dust your home, vacuum, sweep, etc. remove any pollution or build up that may be affecting your air.
you need to clear clutter by organizing or getting rid of what’s no longer used and needed. clutter space can result in a clutter mind.
you’re not giving your situation time or space to unfold. try to take a break from overthinking, worrying, or stressing about issues that are out of your control.
use this time to clear up any loose ends.
suggestions
do something out of the normal. think outside of the box. detach from results, outcomes, expectations. stop holding onto outdated habits that do not uplift or inspire you. learn from your experiences. network. make new friends. plan your future. release your fear of being yourself, refusing change, and controlling others. remember that you are more than your experience, you are more than your body and clothes. question what is and isnt working. don’t let others alter your vision. be aware of fluctuating emotions such as distancing yourself from your partner without communicating the need for space - this can create tension with you and your partner. embrace new friendships and opportunities of potential love connections that may appear (not a guarantee that it will last, but that solely depends on energetic compatibility). get clear about the type of connection you want with everyone. when manifesting, be specific about the traits and values of a partner or friend that you’re looking for them to have or be specific about what the goals you want to manifest.
new moon in aquarius reading
between this new moon in aquarius and our next new moon in leo on february 9, 2020, a lot of us will receive opportunities of potential ideas being fertilized, discovery of innovative ideas, personal growth, and spiritual development. if there's an answer you've been waiting for as far as you starting a goal, wondering if this new endeavor is for you, etc, the ace of wands says YES! for those that are working towards being at service to others (starting a business), spirit wants you to remind you that using shortcuts (quick fixes, easy route) or deceiving others to get what you want (manipulation tactics) will not bring you long-lasting success. you need to be strategic by viewing things in a higher perspective or with a clear, long-term vision to give your plan a more structured approach and stop trying to run from the responsibility that comes with starting a business.
and for those that are looking for the results of something, stop getting frustrated that you’re not seeing them immediately. i mentioned this in my sun in aquarius reading. having mastery of your emotions rather than allowing them to take over you is one of the reasons why you’re unable to tune into where your soul is trying to guide you. so instead of trying to force spirit to give you answers, take a break from thinking about your situation and focus on trying to find the answers within yourself (acknowledging intuitive nudges like gut feelings). i know it can get frustrating not knowing what to do next or what decision you should make, but spirit encourages you to use YOUR intuition.
message | one thing spirit does want me to tell you is that the answer you’re looking for revolves around fear (maybe fear of change) and denial (denial that change is needed). so ask yourself, what changes am i afraid to make? what am i refusing to change in my life? is there something i need to change within myself for me to see the results i desire?
