How to Embrace the Cosmic Reset of Friday’s New Moon
Plus your new moon cosmic theme for your sign 🌑✨
There’s something magical about a new beginning. The idea that you get to let go of anything that is holding you back and embrace a fresh start. New beginnings can be really powerful and they happen every month in nature with the moon.
The new moon is the first phase of the 29.5 day lunar cycle. Think of a new moon as a cosmic reset. A clean slate. A reminder in the sky that it’s never too late to start anew and that anything is possible.
New Moons and Manifesting Go Hand-in-Hand
The new moon is a big energy day of the lunar cycle each month. During the new moon the ocean tides are more intense and the gravitational pull from the moon that causes the tides to rise and fall, affects the moisture in soil. This means seeds will absorb more water during the new moon resulting in greater germination, more growth. This is why people who garden by the moon often plant seeds during the new moon phase.
But symbolically, new moons are a great time to be still and ponder on what “seeds” aka intentions you want to plant and use that new moon energy to support the growth of your intentions. New moons are a time to dream and remind yourself that you are deserving of good things.
New Moon in Aquarius
The new moon this month is happening on February 9th and is in the sign of Aquarius. In addition to the new moon there is some big-time Aquarius energy going on in the sky, so the themes surrounding this new moon are embracing authenticity, being open to change, and simmering on your own personal vision, and this new moon is a really great one to set some intentions for.
Before I dive in to the new moon and your sign …. You can get a new moon manifesting ritual to use for this new moon for free and a guidebook to go along with it by pre-ordering my astrology book Cosmic Care. More info on that here.
Your Cosmic Theme For This New Moon
While the overall theme for this new moon is one that corresponds with Aquarius energy, you also have your own cosmic theme for the new moon based on where this new moon is transiting in your birth chart. And knowing this cosmic theme can provide some inspo for setting intentions on the new moon.
Obviously, you can set your intentions on the new moon about whatever you want them to be! They could be something personal growth related, career related, self-care related, relationship related and they can be as big or as small as you want them to be. But formulating your intentions based on where the new moon is transiting in your birth chart, just gives them a little more “cosmic support” if you will. For example, if the new moon is transiting your 10th house, then centering your intentions around career, a theme of the 10th house, gives those intentions a little extra good vibes.
Below you will find your cosmic theme based on what house the Aquarius new moon is most likely transiting in your birth chart according to your rising sign:
Aries: For an Aries rising, this new moon will be transiting your 11th house making your cosmic theme about friendships, community, and good fortune.
