The new moon in Aquarius is happening on February 1, and it's giving us the chance for a fresh start, both personally and in the collective sense. This new moon is also happening on the same day as the Lunar New Year, which is the real start of the year for those who practice Chinese astrology. The "new year, new me" vibes here will be extra powerful.
The main aspect of this Aquarius new moon is a conjunction to taskmaster Saturn, the planet of restrictions, boundaries, commitment, and hard work. The disciplinarian planet offers up reality checks as a rule, sending the message that you need to be willing to put your nose to the grindstone to reach the peak of any mountain you've set your sights on. We'll be nudged to think about the challenging steps that need to be taken in order to make any new moon intention a reality.
You’ll suddenly feel a little more serious and determined about just about everything in your life. On the career front, you’ll feel less tempted to spend time checking out your Instagram feed between meetings and more focused on getting sh*t done. You'll breeze through projects with perfectly-crafted plans A, B, and C, wowing clients and your boss in the process.
You’ll also start making plans with your friends to get out more, whether it’s scheduling a regular Saturday morning yoga session with your BFF or getting a much-overdue girls' weekend locked down. After months of making and breaking plans, you’re ready to just commit to stuff already.
