New Moon in Aquarius - Optimism or Overextending?

 On Wednesday January 29, we have a New Moon at 9 degrees of Aquarius. New Moons are a great time to set goals, as the Sun and Moon are in the same sign, so we have Solar and Lunar energies working together. Aquarius is a sign that is known for being rebellious and wanting to do things in their own way. It is also a strongly intellectual sign, that likes to think outside the box and is very inventive. This is a great time to set goals for innovating or learning something new especially when it comes to technology. Aquarius is not the warmest sign, as it is an air sign that deals more with ideas than matters of the heart. However, it is concerned with community, friendship and humanity as a whole. This is also a good time to set goals around building community, activism and social justice. How can you use your brilliant and inspired ideas to help humanity as a whole?

 This New Moon is supported by a trine with Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter brings expansion, luck and optimism to whatever sign it is in. In Gemini it is all about ideas, learning and communication. Whatever goals we set at this New Moon when it comes to learning or creating, Jupiter brings us the optimism and information we need to make it happen. It also shows that communication will help us to reach our goals, especially if we work with others toward a common cause. This is also a helpful aspect if we are looking to create or support community or activism now.

The Sabian symbol for this New Moon is "A Popular Man Finds His Popularity is Ephemeral". This is a caution to those who may find themselves riding high on approval or experiencing popularity, that this is not something that will last. No one can match every ideal projected on to us. Jupiter brings optimism to the New Moon but can also lead to us overextending ourselves or over promising. We cannot always live up to our own or other's ideals. Remember that any goals set now, should be grounded in practicality and humility. Those operating from their ego may get a reality check this New Moon.
