Happy Luna New Year falling in the Chinese Zodiac of the Rat and Many Blessings for the first New Moon of the year falling in Aquarius today, January 24th ❤
The first New Moon in Aquarius is making quite an impact and is set to maybe bring some volatile, wavy energy through our cosmic skies.
This Aquarian New Moon may bring abrupt changes or a sense of unease that we may have been feeling brewing over the past week.
This is because just a few days ago, on January 22nd, the Sun and Uranus fell in a tense alignment, which is now further triggered on this Aquarian New Moon.
Uranus is ruled by Aquarius and is the planet of change and awakening, but the changes we feel on this New Moon are more likely to be emotional ones.
Change can manifest in a variety of ways, but it seems that this Aquarian New Moon will be working on our emotions and triggering us to change the way we have been feeling about an event or our lives.
Sometimes our feelings are lying deep within us and we don’t always have access to them. Sometimes we don’t feel stressed even though we are. Sometimes we don’t feel hurt until we sit down and actually allow ourselves to process the emotion.
This is what the vibration of this Aquarian New Moon calls for us to do, not just now but throughout the entire year.
We all need to get better at feeling our emotions right now. We need to stop burying or stuffing stuff away and allow ourselves to move through the world with a little more emotional freedom.
Being emotionally free can make many of us, feel far too vulnerable and far too open. Moving through the world this way can be a scary thing and can send empathic qualities into overdrive.
But if 2020, with all its huge cosmic alignments and planetary changes is trying to teach us anything, it’s that we have to open our hearts deeper, wider & look deeply within.
The New Moon reminds us that an open heart is a ‘Strong Heart’. It reminds us that when we allow ourselves to soften, the world ‘Softens’ back.
Mother Moon knows that moving through the world with an open heart is a struggle for many, which is why she allows herself to move in phases.
She shows us this when she is full and open and also when she is dark and needs to retreat. Her heart is always open, she just works differently according to her rhythms and cycles.
Just like the Moon, sometimes we need to wear our heart on our sleeve and sometimes we need to love from a distance.
Lunar energy is strong all through 2020, and as we begin this Lunar New Year with the first New Moon, we can all invite more openness and emotional freedom into our lives.
We can all open our hearts big and wide, for there is new space opening for us to tap into.
On a more surface note, the vibration around this Aquarian New Moon is tense and erratic, so we may need to be mindful of this and find ways to ground ourselves if we feel too overwhelmed.
But I feel that if we can all open our hearts a little wider than we feel comfortable, and shine our heart energy out when we are feeling overwhelmed or a little vulnerable, that something in that exchange will make us feel safer and stronger, and more aligned in our power.
This is not to say that we need to allow ourselves to be taken advantage of, or to keep giving when it is not serving us. Rather it is about learning to own the power that comes through an open heart and learning to use this to give more love towards ourselves and others.
Aquarius is the sign of the humanitarian and of community. It is a sign associated with helping others and thinking about the collective.
There is so much trauma and tragedy in the world that if you have any energy to even just give a little more love to yourself, to others, or to the planet, then you should make this a priority, even if it’s just for a few minutes this night of the Aquarian New Moon.
So yes, while the energy around this New Moon is all shades of volatile and a time where you would think to protect your energy and hunker down, I say listen to your intuition and do the opposite. Be brave and open your heart a little wider.
Be safe about it, but courageous to love a little more and to allow yourself to truly feel all you have tucked and buried away.
When you feel, you heal. And the healing doesn’t come from dissecting the emotion with your mind, it comes from just simply allowing it to move through your open heart, undisturbed and held in the space of full belonging.
Let’s all pull down our barriers down a bit and as soon as we feel the impulse to run and hide, let’s see if we can challenge ourselves to do the reverse. We’ve all got this! And Mother Moon is on our side!
Happy first New Moon of the year!
And… Happy Chinese New Year of the Rat.
Love and Blessings xo ❤
