February 9th, 2024: New Moon in Aquarius
February 10th, 2024: Lunar New Year – Year of the Dragon
The New Moon in Aquarius is the marker of Lunar New Year, where we enter into the Year of the Dragon. In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Dragon is a time of good luck and strength, where our experiences lead us to a renewal of purpose, and ultimate success.
The Aquarian energy of this New Moon has an extra boost due to Pluto recently moving into Aquarius, so you may find your emotions and intuition are at an unprecedented height. At their most potent, these energies can trigger old wounds, misunderstandings, and past grievances. You may find yourself getting lost in thought about that thing you never said, the way that person traumatized you, the ways you disappointed yourself.
But understand, these thoughts are an opportunity to identify what is blocking you from success and happiness. Once you recognize the issue, you can use this lunar energy to cleanse, to purge, to heal, and move yourself forward into this new year with purpose.
This New Moon offers the chance to do things differently. To see your old traumas and dramas as previous lessons, instead of lamenting them in the present moment. The experiences you’ve undergone have transformed you in a number of ways, and this lunation is a perfect time to acknowledge how you’ve grown and shifted, and to see the beauty of who you are now.
Once you’ve got a handle on that, take your personal realizations, and share them with others. This lunation pushes us towards community, to inspire and support others with our earned wisdom and emotional freedom. Show up for someone in their time of need – whether they need an ear, advice, or simply to be seen.
And here’s a little extra guidance: A New Moon in Aquarius mini-divination for each astrological sign! Our featured deck this month is Wisdom of the Hidden Realms written by Colette Baron-Reid and illustrated by Jena DellaGrottaglia.
