AQUARIUS NEW MOON

The New Moon in Aquarius occurs on January 29th at 9:26 PM AEDT,  and sits at 9 degrees of Aquarius, ushering in a profound and deep opportunity for fresh starts and inner transformation due to the wide but significant alignment with Pluto in Aquarius . The Aquarius New Moon is always a time to shake things up a bit, an invitiion to embrace thinking differently and to honour those whom think different to us. The New Moon offers some depth from Pluto and expansion from Jupiter to explore deeper truths, and connect with our most authentic parts of our selves and others.

Being a fixed sign,  Taurus, Leo and Scorpio, as well of Aquarius of course, are likely to feel this one strongly, so explore where 9 degrees of Aquarius lands in your chart to see which house is being activated This will tell you the themes of life that are ripe for intention setting and growth.

Aquarius is the visionary, the innovator, the change-maker, the rebel and the humanitarian. Its energy is electric and eclectic, forward-thinking, and unafraid to question the status quo. This New Moon encourages us to break free from limiting beliefs and patterns, especially in how we think and connect with others. As we see more and more division in the world, this New Moon is a reminder to open our minds and hearts to hearing what those who are different to us, might have to say, without judgement. More than ever, we need to listen and hear the various perspectives of others. This is a time to really explore some different and new insights and expand our thinking outside our echo chambers.

This New Moon offers us a little more depth than a traditional New Moon in Aquarius due to a wide but significant alignment with Pluto. So we are invited not only to expand our thinking and perspectives but to also dig deep and explore what might be hidden beneath the surface. We are invited to ask ourselves ,What thoughts or ideas have we buried that are ready to come to light?

With Pluto and Mercury in the mix we are  encouraged to dig deep into our minds, our thinking patterns and possibly uncover hidden insights. Old ideas, suppressed memories, or even buried desires could resurface now and if they do, this is the perfect time to sit with and reflect on how you would like to work with these new insights. We can also ask ourselves, What mental habits, beliefs, or thought patterns are holding us back and what new intention can we set to possibly rewrite the stories we tell ourselves? Set new mental intentions: Think of this as a cosmic reset button for your intellect.

This combination may also stir deep conversations or bring clarity to areas of life where you’ve felt stuck. Be open to revelations—they might not be comfortable, but they’ll be transformative.

As Aquarius rules friendships and particularly groups of people who share our interests this New Moon also shines a light on our social dynamics. Are we showing up as our most authentic selves in our relationships? Are our connections supportive of our growth and aligned with our actual values. Group dynamics that may not be serving us might surface now, so we can use this as an opportunity to realign or set future boundaries and set intentions for the kinds of connections and communities we want to cultivate moving forward.

One of the brightest aspects of this New Moon is its harmonious trine to Jupiter retrograde in Gemini. This energy feels expansive and full of possibility, even as it asks us to reflect and reassess. This is a time for brainstorming on expansive new ideas and to let ourself dream and explore new ideas, dive into learning, or revisit projects that light us up. This is a feel-good aspect, so lean into optimism and curiosity. We can ask ourselves What knowledge, skills or ideas do I want to expand and how can we align with technology or new tools to move our vision forward?

The traditional ruler of Aquarius, Saturn, is in a trine to Mars retrograde in Cancer, bringing some emotional discipline to this lunation. This grounding energy supports deep work on family dynamics, boundaries, and emotional healing. It’s not flashy, but it is a  productive time to think about what family patterns or emotional habits might need our attention and new intentions to move forward

Mars in Cancer also forms a sextile to Uranus ( the modern ruler of Aquarius)  retrograde in Taurus, offering a spark of innovation and spontaneity. This energy also supports taking practical steps toward creating stability in a new, inspired way. So we can think about what changes in our homes, security or routine for bring fresh energy, more freedom and insights?

And of course I am always here to help support you through any changes that may come to the surface now, just reach out or head to www.aspectastrology.com.au/book-online to make a time for a session. I would love to work with you.

Cancer Full Moon- Leading With the Heart

The First Full Moon of the Year: Leading with the heart

The first full moon of the year is always one of my favourites. This is when the Moon returns to her home sign of Cancer, where the themes of nurturing—especially self-nurturing—are profoundly resonant. With Mars in Cancer retrograde sitting alongside the Moon, this full moon invites us into a beautiful space of internal reflection and emotional processing.

In my own reflection, I’ve made a significant decision this year: I will no longer be creating my Full Moon Workbooks. While they’ve been a labour of love, the amount of work involved, combined with my increasingly busy astrology practice, has made it clear that it’s time to shift my focus.

I’m thrilled to be devoting more energy to some exciting new offerings within my practice: Astro Branding and Author Mentoring—with astrology as the guiding backdrop. You can learn more about these services on my website www.aspectastrology.com

Instead of the Full Moon Workbook, I’ll be periodically releasing other resources to help navigate some of the major astrological shifts this year. Stay tuned—these are designed to guide and support you through transformative times.

As we approach this Cancer Full Moon, I encourage you to take a moment to pause, nurture yourself, and reflect. How will you honour this energy? What will you do to create space for your own self-care and emotional renewal?

The first full moon of 2025 graces us in the emotionally resonant sign of Cancer, illuminating the night sky on January 14h at 9.27am at 23 degrees. So look to see where Cancer at 23 degrees falls in your chart to see what area of  life will be illuminated now.

This Full Moon invites us to reconnect with our inner world and nurture ourselves deeply. Its energy encourages reflection, emotional clarity, and healing, particularly as the Moon conjuncts Mars retrograde in Cancer, sextiles Uranus in Taurus, and forms harmonious trines with Neptune and the newly arrived North Node in Pisces. In a year when so many planets change into Air and Fire signs, this is a special watery moment for reflection and renewal.

Adding to the depth, Saturn, the ruler of the Sun currently in Capricorn, is in Pisces alongside Venus in Pisces and places emphasis on the balance between responsibility and emotional fulfillment. Together, these alignments create a cosmic tapestry that calls us to align our outer ambitions with the sanctity of our inner lives.

Cancer, ruled by the Moon, embodies unconditional love, emotional intuition, and the archetype of nurturing. Its counterpart, Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, prioritises achievement, discipline, and responsibility. This full moon emphasises the Cancer-Capricorn axis, challenging us to reconcile our need for emotional security and nurturing with the demands of our external obligations.

With the Sun in Capricorn urging us to plan and prioritise, the Cancer Moon reminds us not to neglect our hearts in favour of external duties. This lunar phase invites us to reflect on the balance between our inner and outer worlds. Are we allowing our emotions the space they need, or are they buried beneath a mountain of tasks and expectations?

The Moon’s conjunction with Mars retrograde in Cancer can stir up deep, unresolved emotions. Mars, the planet of action, in retrograde asks us to reflect rather than react, giving us the opportunity to process past emotional wounds.

The sextile to Uranus in Taurus offers us an opportunity for innovation, shaking us from stagnation and offering intuitive insights into how we can change old patterns. This aspect encourages us to experiment with new ways of nurturing ourselves and managing emotional challenges, especially those tied to family and home.

The Moon’s trine with Neptune and the newly arrived North Node in Pisces adds a layer of spiritual healing and soul alignment. This aspect enhances our ability to tap into compassion, creativity, and the wisdom of the heart. It’s a potent time for forgiving others and ourselves, especially in matters related to family and ancestral ties.

Pisces energy, emphasised by Saturn’s conjunction with Venus, asks us to consider the deeper, soulful connections that inform our relationships. Venus in Pisces imbues this full moon with a sense of divine love and beauty, urging us to create spaces—both internal and external—that feel sacred and aligned with our true essence.

This full moon is a time to embrace the nurturing qualities of Cancer. Sit with your emotions, reflect on the past, and allow yourself to feel deeply. Unresolved family dynamics, particularly those tied to maternal or paternal archetypes, may rise to the surface for healing.

During this full moon we are invited to sit with the following questions:

How are we nurturing ourself and others?

Are there emotional wounds we need to release?

Does my home support our need for sanctuary and rejuvenation?

Writing down these reflections and releasing them through water—a ritual aligned with Cancer’s element—can be profoundly cathartic. Whether you burn the paper and release the ashes into a stream or submerge it in water, let the act symbolise the cleansing and renewal of your emotional state.

Cancer rules the home, urging us to consider how our physical and emotional environments support our well-being. Decluttering, rearranging furniture, or creating a small sacred space for meditation and reflection can rejuvenate the energy of your home. With Uranus’s influence we can tap into inspiration for creative ways to transform our space into a sanctuary.

With Neptune and the North Node in Pisces, this is a perfect time for meditation and introspection. Quiet moments can yield profound insights about family dynamics, self-nurturing practices, or releasing old wounds. We can use this time to visualise the moon’s light bathing us in healing energy, illuminating the path forward with compassion and clarity.

This Cancer full moon is a sacred reminder to check in with our hearts, nurture our emotional selves, and release anything that no longer serves us. As we honour our inner lives, we find the strength to meet our outer responsibilities with greater resilience and authenticity.

Under the nurturing light of the Moon, allow yourself to feel, heal, and grow. This moment is not only about releasing the past but also about embracing the changes that guide us toward a more aligned, heart-centered life for the year ahead.

Happy Cancer Full Moon

Capricorn Season- Get ready to re set

Happy Summer Solstice here in Australia, happy Capricorn Season, and welcome to the first steps toward a year that holds some huge astrological changes. 2025 is BIG. This is the year all the outer planets will occupy new signs following Pluto’s move into Aquarius earlier this year—an incredibly significant and profound reset. The emphasis shifts from the grounded earthy signs Saturn and Uranus recently occupied, and the watery realms of Neptune in Pisces, to a focus on Air and Fire. At its best, the year ahead is about inspiration, creativity, and change.

Pluto’s move into Aquarius set the stage for innovation and collective evolution, and now Neptune transitions into Aries in April, followed by Saturn in Aries in late May. This double Aries alignment signals a bold new era of leadership, courage, and visionary action—or not. Aries energy can also be about doing what one wants when one wants, making it fascinating to see how this plays out globally. In June, Jupiter moves into Cancer, and in July, Uranus shifts into Gemini, igniting revolutions in communication, learning, and interconnectedness—beautifully harmonizing with Pluto’s current position in Aquarius. It’s incredibly rare to have so many outer planets shift signs within a 12-month period.

Adding to this cosmic reset, the nodal axis moves to the South Node in Virgo and the North Node in Pisces, inviting us to lean into compassion and empathy—qualities I feel we will need in spades in 2025. And so, we begin with Capricorn season, asking us to plant seeds of inspiration sparked during Sagittarius season. On that note, I wish you all a beautiful holiday season. Thank you for your support and a special hug to all the gorgeous souls who entrusted me to explore their astrology this year. 2025 brings big changes for me, too, and I can’t wait to share them with you soon.

In Australia, December 21st marks a moment of profound significance—the beginning of Capricorn season and the summer solstice. The solstice, derived from the Latin solstitium, meaning "sun standing still," is a pivotal turning point in the solar year. Here in the Southern Hemisphere, it signifies the longest day of the year, a time to revel in the fullness of light and honour the sun’s life-giving power. It’s also a potent moment for reflection as the sun appears to pause before beginning its gradual descent toward shorter days.

As Capricorn season begins, we step into the grounded, ambitious, and pragmatic energy of the zodiac’s mountain goat. From an evolutionary astrology perspective, Capricorn represents the archetype of the builder and the elder. It asks us to consider the legacy we are creating, the structures we depend on, and the responsibilities we carry. At its highest expression, Capricorn invites us to align our personal ambitions with a sense of purpose and collective responsibility, urging us to climb not just for personal gain but for the greater good.

It’s a time to honour both the external achievements and the internal growth that make life meaningful. By aligning with the energy of Capricorn we can use this time to  create a foundation for executing our goals as we move into the year ahead. This is a time to tap into  both our internal discipline and inspiration. Capricorn energy is all about finding the mountain we wish to climbe in this lifetime and to climb it with purpose, integrity, and to build a legacy that reflects the highest aspirations of our soul

The solstice energy amplifies Capricorn’s call for reflection and intention-setting. The sun’s pause in the sky mirrors the need to pause within ourselves, evaluate our progress, and commit to disciplined action. Capricorn teaches us the power of resilience, patience, and the mastery that comes from embracing life’s challenges. It’s a reminder that true growth requires both effort and integrity.

On New Years Eve in Australia we also have a New Moon in Capricorn which is an extra potent invitation to plant seeds of intention for the year ahead. This is a powerful time to set goals rooted in authenticity and long-term vision. Capricorn’s energy supports strategic planning, so we can use this time to focus on the practical steps needed to manifest our dreams. From an evolutionary perspective, this New Moon asks us to examine how we define success and whether our ambitions serve our soul’s growth.

In 2025, I will be focusing much more on the astrology of relationships and we obviously can not do so without talking about Venus a lot, which I will be. On Jan 2nd Venus, moves into Pisces and brings a dreamy, compassionate energy to relationships and creativity. Pisces softens Capricorn’s edges, encouraging us to balance structure with surrender. This transit also has a special significance this year as Venus will revisit Pisces during its retrograde journey, highlighting themes of unconditional love, forgiveness, and spiritual connection.

On the 6th Mars, whilst still in retrograde motion Mars moves back into Cancer, in opposition to the Capricorn energy of the season This shift from Gemini’s cerebral energy to Cancer’s emotional depth asks us to  reevaluate and re explore the roots of our motivations and to review how we actively seek emotional security.  Mars here also offers us a time for healing past wounds related to family, home, and belonging.

On the 8th Mercury moves into Capricorn from Sagittarius and sharpens our focus and enhances our ability to communicate with precision and authority. This can offer us practical problem-solving and clear decision-making. From an evolutionary lens, it’s an invitation to align our thoughts and words with our highest intentions, using communication to build lasting connections and understanding.

In a really big shift, we have the Nodal Axis shifting from Aries into Pisces on January 12th, which means for 2025, our eclipse season will be across the Virgo/ Pisces polarity. I for one am pretty thrilled about this shift as it marks a collective karmic direction toward compassionate service, spirituality, and surrender. Pisces teaches us the importance of trust, flow, and interconnectedness. This nodal axis will be most significant for the mutable signs this year and will do much to encourage us to balance discipline with faith.

One of my favoured Full Moons, for the year- the Cancer Full Moon occurs on Jan 14th and brings themes of home, family, and emotional security to the forefront. Opposing the Capricorn Sun, this is all about the need to balance work and personal life, ambition and nurturing. It’s a time to honour our feelings, connect with loved ones, and create spaces of comfort and safety.

And then, on the 20th, the Sun’s move into Aquarius, shifting our focus from personal ambition to collective innovation. Aquarius energy invites us to think outside the box, embrace change, and work toward a future that serves humanity as a whole.
