New Moon in Aquarius
The New Moon is on Wednesday January 29th at 12.35 GMT in London UK at 9 degrees 51 minutes Aquarius. I have used the tarot card of The Star in my video to illustrate how Aquarius connects us to the Constellation of Sirius.
The New Year really begins with this New Moon in Aquarius.
Apart from Mercury joining Pluto, God of the Underworld, Jupiter is in a flowing aspect to the New Moon in Aquarius. Conspiracies may come to light, however Pluto is the invisible God called Hades. Jupiter is the Law and the Truth, but is weak in Gemini. We may be caught in too much information leading us astray. Jupiter is strong in the opposite fire sign of Sagittarius. Listening is a key theme for the year.
My Rant
A lot of posts in Facebook have talked about the alignment of 7 planets visible in the night sky. This is highly misleading as Uranus and Neptune are too far away to be seen with the naked eye. Some posts talk of Mercury being visible. Its not! Mercury is a Morning Star so sets before the Sun. If you saw the Crescent Moon with Venus way back on January 3rd you’ll know how breathtaking it is. What is important is this:-
Wish Upon a Star-Rare Conjunction of Venus and Neptune with the Crescent Moon
Venus is now exalted in Pisces and visible after sunset as an Evening Star. It is moving toward Neptune on February 1st at 27 degrees Pisces with the crescent Moon. Look to the west after sunset for this stunning sight. It won’t happen again in our lifetime.
This alignment is the 8th Chakra in Shamanic astrology.
While it’s not super rare for the crescent Moon to conjunct Venus on February 1st they align with Neptune. This triple conjunction will take place in Pisces for the last time!
Pisces represents unity, acceptance and empathy. This is a highly spiritual conjunction. Look to the west to see it after sunset.
This truly is a great day for planning your Vision, for meditation. In the tarot The Moon is the High Priestess, Venus is the Empress and Neptune is The Hanged Man. I love the Osho Zen tarot for the most beautiful artwork.
The Tree of Life is a mystical map that is said to lead us back to God. The High Priestess relates to Kether-the Crown chakra or Neptune.
Therefore on February 1st we can open up to a spiritual connection, our Divinity. The High Priestess can be likened to the wisdom of Sophia, or the Virgin Mary the Queen of Heaven.
Mercury in Aquarius joins Pluto and the New Moon in Aquarius
Mercury is now direct and strong in the air sign of Aquarius ruled by both Uranus and Saturn. Practicality and responsibility rules communication so plans can be put into action. Write down what you want to manifest on February 1st as the ideal day to wish upon a star. On this day Mercury and the Sun in Aquarius both make a flowing trine to Jupiter in Gemini.
Mars square Chiron
Mars is weak in the emotional water sign of Cancer this is not an easy time, as heightened emotions can overwhelm us. Chiron is the Archetype of the Wounded Healer and is the only dwarf planet in a fire sign.
Mars moves direct this month on February 24th, but will remain in Cancer until April 18th when it moves into the fire sign Leo.
KEY DATES:-
- January 3rd Venus changed sign into Pisces where it is exalted.
- Mars in Cancer retrograde. Goes direct on February 24th
- Mercury into Aquarius on January 28th
- January 29th New Moon in Aquarius
- Jupiter in Gemini goes direct February 4th
- February 12th Full Moon in Leo at 24 degrees.
- Saturn is now direct in Pisces
- Uranus moves direct in Taurus on January 30th
- Neptune is now direct in Pisces
- Pluto is now in Aquarius for the long haul.
Please watch my YouTube video above as I explain more fully about this New Moon in Aquarius.
In need of personal emotional and spiritual support?
If you have any planet around 9 degrees then this New Moon in Aquarius will be activating it. I can support and guide you through these troubling times.
This is also an ideal time for a consultation. See this page for more information
FIRE SIGNS Chiron in Aries
Chiron is the only planet in a fire sign. It is now direct in Aries and forms a challenging square aspect to the Moon in Cancer. Time for healing any issues of being the pioneer. Apart from the Moon, Venus will be the first planet to enter a fire sign on February 4th so this is a difficult time as the element of fire gives us energy and Mars the fire planet is weak in Cancer.
EARTH SIGNS South Node in Virgo
Uranus is the only outer planet in an earth signs. Change is what Uranus needs. Work with it. Make some practical changes in your life. Clear out those cupboards! It goes direct on January 29th, so more power to innovation and ideas that come out of the blue!
WATER SIGNS
Mars is retrograde in Cancer and Saturn is in Pisces.
Neptune The Dreamer is now direct at 27 degrees of Pisces. In Pisces it favours all the water signs. Watch your visions and dreams, get creative and meditate. We now have an opportunity to bring our dreams into manifestation. Trust your intuition. One key word for Neptune is compassion.
However watch out for scams! It can also indicate illusion, deceit, scandal, loss, drowning, a feeling of being overwhelmed and lost. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, depressed, over-burdened and with little energy then I recommend taking time out and being kind to yourself. Bach Flower remedies such as Elm, Sweet Chestnut and Oak may be helpful. Also for shock Rock Rose or Rescue Remedy.
AIR SIGNS Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto
Jupiter the greater benefic is now in Gemini. Look where that is in your birth chart.
Jupiter is the planet of faith, faith in life, that life is worth living. It takes 12 years to go around the zodiac, so look back 12 years to understand its influence in your chart. It is the biggest planet in our solar system and Jupiter is Zeus, King of the Gods. It brings good luck, expansiveness and the feel good factor.
Pluto is now direct. Pluto is an outer planet and affects world events. It has now ended its journey in the earth sign of Capricorn. Pluto becomes more personal if it connects with one of inner planets in your chart. These are the Sun, Moon, Mercury Venus and Mars. It is activated at mid-life when it makes a square to itself around the age of 38. It moved into Aquarius in 2024 from January 21st until September 2nd 2024 when it retrograded back in Capricorn. However now it is firmly in Aquarius so will be a major transit.
Testimonial from a client
“ I just wanted to thank you for such an inspiring consultation. Your depth of knowledge in vedic astrology and beautifully intuitive sense helped me to understand and ‘organise’ thoughts about the puzzle of my life which, of late, I have been struggling to find the right pieces for! I felt uplifted and encouraged after the consultation and very appreciative of the time you took to unravel part of the kaleidoscope. Thank you, thank you, thank you”. Samantha M

The Year Ahead Consultation
I work with a system that looks at your birthday when you have what is called a ‘Solar Return’. Its the exact time and day when the Sun returns to the same position it was at your birth. This is a chart for your year ahead from one birthday to the next. I used to find this OK but not really accurate in knowing how the year would work out month by month.
This is called Profections
Then I discovered this traditional system in astrology called Profections. Many thanks to fellow astrologer Sharon Knight. I have been using this with my clients for the last few years.
Using the Solar Return chart along with your age tells you what your guardian angel-the planet/archetype that is in focus for your year ahead. This special guiding planet for your birthday year, is known as a time lord.
For example, if that sign for your year is Leo, ruled by the Sun then it’s a year for leadership and creativity.
If its Gemini, ruled by Mercury then its a year to write that book or get busy with launching or refining your website. Networking with like minds is also excellent.
I can then tell you what months are best for being visible, and what months are best for some rest/holiday or retreat.
I gave a FREE MasterClass on this subject. I explained the ages and what they represent. If you have your birth chart it will really help you understand this technique.
You’ll learn how important your birthday and your age is, and how this shapes your mindset, mood and levels of motivation for the year ahead.
You’ll be encouraged to apply the cycles and techniques you learn to your chart. Or, of course you can book this special session with me.

Pam’s profections and solar return combo reading was an innovative and enlightening experience!
She shared the theme for the year as well as the targeted themes for each month of the year and crucial dates. This provided a focus for each month and a heightened focus of awareness for each month as well as key dates for a sharper focus.
We covered such rich ground it felt like an odyssey.
I would be thoroughly remiss if I did not add how lovely and generous Pam is, and how her lightness, along with deep knowledge, makes the experience.
I offer Business Astrology to help you get the timing right for any new ventures using this system along with Vedic Astrology.
