Pluto’s Influence in Aquarius
Just last week, on Monday the 20th, Pluto and the Sun met in Aquarius for the first time in over 200 years. This conjunction highlights Pluto’s full, transformative journey through Aquarius, a 19-year cycle that promises paradigm-shifting societal changes.Historically, Pluto in Aquarius has been a time of revolutions and breakthroughs (think: the American and French Revolutions). This time around, I believe we can expect no different. And it’s infused with our current Aquarian themes of technology, community, equality, and freedom.
So for those of us ready to harness these energies for the greater good of humanity, this is a pivotal moment to release old, stagnant patterns—both personally and collectively. And to make space for bold, innovative visions that align with a liberated, forward-thinking future.
Reflection Question:
What outdated patterns in my personal life (and/or my part of the collective) are ready to be released, so I can align with a more liberated, forward-thinking future?
Aquarius and Consciousness
Aquarius is the sign associated with higher mind, genius, and community. It reminds us of our interconnectedness and asks us to embrace innovation and multi-dimensional thinking.
This energy invites us to see beyond the surface. To view the challenges of our world as opportunities for breakthroughs. Aquarius celebrates individuality while showing us how our unique contributions create a greater whole.
We’re also being called to recognize and cultivate new levels of awareness. For example, this New Moon energy resonates with expanding consciousness and uncovering hidden truths. It’s a reminder that even amidst chaos, we can find clarity and creative solutions by tapping into higher wisdom.
Reflection Question:
How can I step into my own unique genius in order to contribute to the collective awakening and positive transformation of the world?
Aspects to the New Moon: A Grand Trine for Manifestation
This New Moon forms a harmonious Air Grand Trine with Jupiter in Gemini and the dwarf planet Makemake in Libra. Air energy supports clarity, fresh ideas, and creative collaboration, making this an ideal time to manifest our highest intentions.
Makemake is the dwarf planet associated with regeneration and balance. So it amplifies the regenerative and hopeful qualities of this lunation. In other words, this is the time to dream big and align your visions with the principles of freedom, fairness, and sustainability.
The energy is electric, and the message is clear: we are co-creators of the future. The seeds you plant now—both in thought and action—can blossom into transformative realities for yourself and the collective.
Reflection Question:
What is one bold intention I can set today that reflects the world I want to live in, and the role I want to play in co-creating it?
An Invitation for Optimism
While the outer world may feel chaotic, this New Moon in Aquarius reminds us of the power of focused intention. The more we align with higher visions and optimism, the more effectively we manifest them.
Yes, we will encounter challenges. Yes, the old ways will resist change. But the message of this New Moon is that we can create the future we dream of—one intention, one small step at a time.
Take time to ground yourself amidst the rapid energy shifts, tune into your heart, and visualize the world you want to see. You are a vital part of this transformation.
Final Thoughts
The New Moon in Aquarius offers a profound opportunity to realign with hope, vision, and collective purpose. By focusing on what’s possible rather than what’s broken, we tap into our highest potential and play an active role in shaping the world around us.
What bold intention will you set under this visionary New Moon?
