The February New Moon in Aquarius Will Affect These 4 Zodiac Signs the Most

A new moon is always the jumping off point for the 28-day lunar cycle, bringing you to the brink of the next journey. And if you’re one of the zodiac signs most affected by the new moon in Aquarius, you’re about to begin something that shows you something you’ve never seen before. This new moon has major significations for what your future holds, and by understanding how this new moon will affect you astrologically, you’ll be able to create a reality that resonates with your deepest desires.

The two most important and pivotal moments of the lunar cycle happen at the new moon and the full moon. While the full moon is made of fireworks, intensity, and climactic revelations, the new moon is a much gentler and nuanced experience. And while you might not think much of the shadowy and unseen new moon, it’s actually kickstarting a new whole chapter of your life whether you realize it or not. For example: if you start a new job or meet someone you eventually form a relationship with during or after a new moon, it will take shape by the time the corresponding full moon takes place six months later. Whatever happens during the new moon is always indicative of the future, as the feelings and emotions associated with a new moon are often incredibly revealing. They might even contain hints as to what your future has in store.

However, a new moon can feel hollow, as starting something new can feel incredibly daunting and overwhelming. Give yourself space to feel whatever you feel, but make sure you let the Universe know exactly what it is you want, because the new moon is listening.

Taking place on February 9 at 5:59 p.m. ET, the upcoming new moon takes place in idealistic, community-oriented, eccentric, extraverted, and highly independent Aquarius, encouraging you to rethink the goals that you’re willing to bring into fruition for the benefit of all humanity. Because Aquarius is ruled by Saturn—planet of boundaries and traditions—this new moon may carry a heavy weight to it, and that’s all part of its magic. Because Saturn is currently moving through Pisces—a zodiac sign that’s centered on spirituality and artistic abundance—it’s time to find empathy and truth without getting carried away.

However, this new moon carries an even more meaningful note than the average new moon. After all, this is the first new moon to take place while Pluto—planet of creation and destruction—is also moving through Aquarius. That means this new moon is giving you a major peek at what the next 20 years have in store, adding to the intensity of its impact. It will also form a square with unpredictable Uranus, giving you an uneasy, yet exciting feeling that something unexpected is about to happen. Don’t let your nerves get to you, because this new moon is also forming a sextile to the North Node in Aries, which is nudging you toward destiny.
