The new moon on January 29 will push you to think beyond your comfort zone
Aquarius season just started a week ago, and the first new moon of 2025 is hot on its heels. The change from Capricorn, an Earth sign, to Aquarius, an air sign, allows for more movement and freedom, which most of us are ready for. “The energy of the new year is slowly gaining momentum,” says Jetteke Van Lexmond, co-founder of the Moonsisters and their well-known lunar calendar. “Be patient with yourself, new projects and ideas. Uranus will increase your energy at the end of the month and provide movement after a period of stagnation. Action Planet Mars, on the other hand, will remain retrograde until the end of February, slowing progress. »
Shifting Lunar Nodes Invites Mindfulness and Compassion
In addition to the innovative energy of Aquarius season, the gentle, intuitive energy of Pisces will also become noticeable. On January 12, 2025, the lunar nodes moved from Aries-Libra to Pisces-Virgo, where they will stay until July 27, 2026. Aries-Libra has been characterized by quick decisions, acting without thinking too much and hard. Pisces-Virgo, on the other hand, invites you to feel more and make decisions that are good for you and Mother Earth – or as Van Lexmond further puts it, “not hard and fast work, but conscious action , attentive and compassionate.” This change in the lunar nodes could cause a significant awakening. “Many hearts will open, leading to new forms of work and relationships,” says the moon expert.
However, the combination of air energy (Aquarius) and water energy (Pisces) can also cause inner conflict between your head and heart. “On the one hand, you can overthink, overanalyze, and be overly critical of yourself and others. On the other hand, you may feel so much that you are overwhelmed. It may also be more difficult to stay grounded during this time. Give yourself what you need. Self-care is always a good choice. “
Van Lexmond also recommends making space for our thoughts. It’s about achieving a balance between your heart and your mind; After all, both are essential for human well-being. Only from this balance can you later make important decisions.
January 29 New Moon Energy Helps You Leave Your Comfort Zone
On January 29, there will be a new moon in Aquarius in the sky – the first new moon of the year. According to Moonsisters, this invites you to become clear about your intentions for 2025. “Do you want change, more freedom, flow and joy in your life?” Van Lexmond asks. “This new moon energy helps you think beyond your comfort zone, make new plans and break old patterns.” Aquarius also symbolizes a strong heart-to-heart connection. “Look for like-minded people who inspire and support you and with whom you can brainstorm. You don’t have to do or figure it all out on your own,” reveals Van Lexmond.
