New Moons are a window of time dedicated to renewal and rejuvenation. They’re an optimum time for making matches on dating apps or giving your number to that cutie at your local coffee shop. Just make sure you don’t too move fast, because the energy of this New Moon won’t reward haste.

On February 1, 2022 at 12:44 a.m. ET, the Moon will conjunct (aka be close together in the same zodiac sign) the Sun in Aquarius at exactly 12 degrees, forming a New Moon in Aquarius. The nature of this New Moon has a stoic vibe to it, but don’t be misled by the surface. Beneath its cool face is a deep collection of unspoken feelings and nebulous desires.

At the same time as the New Moon, Saturn—the planet of time, boundaries, and order—will also be conjunct the Moon and Sun in Aquarius. Saturn’s conjunction with the New Moon speaks to our need to be patient with our loved ones. During this time, try to give your friends and family plenty of understanding.

Aquarius notoriously doesn’t have a great handle on emotions, and when in Aquarius, the Moon struggles to fully express itself because this sign is all logic. Right now, the people you care about will be far more likely to understand you if you appeal to the sensible nature of Aquarius energy. Knowing when to pull back and let your lover miss you is key.

If you make practical requests and keep your expectations grounded in reality, you’ll find that they’re likely to be met under this New Moon. If you’re planning on starting an emotional connection or bringing new life to your relationship, first ensure that it makes sense to commit.

According to Courtney Perkins of @NotAllGeminis, “New Moons are a great time to think about your intentions, so with Aquarius, you might want to think about how you envision your community and your friendships. Call a friend, host a ritual, write a goal down, and then burn it symbolically. Aquarius is very rational and can be quite detached, so this is also a good time to apply some objectivity to what’s currently going on in your life and try to see without bias.” Have a wonderful New Moon!

ARIES

Individualism will only get you so far, Aries. You’re a natural leader and trendsetter, someone who’s motivated to stand out from the rest. But during the New Moon in Aquarius, you’re being called to develop your dream team. This will require some digital or physical socializing. Figure out who has goals aligned with yours and take it from there!

TAURUS

Let this New Moon be a reason to lift yourself toward your purpose. Thinking through your 10-year plan can seem daunting, especially because Neptune has been in Pisces for, like, ever. (FYI: Neptune in Pisces is can leave us feeling hazy, imaginative, and confused.) You might not exactly know what’s going to happen in your future, so this New Moon is a great transit to plan for the long haul.

GEMINI

Something from your subconscious is about to come to the surface, and it seems like it will be directly related to a paternal figure. This New Moon in Aquarius is helping you learn to follow your intuitive thoughts and feelings. This year could see you learning to focus deeply on one area of your life at a time, in order to succeed.

CANCER

Congratulations, Cancer. Something you’ve worked so hard on, whether a concept or a material item, is coming to fruition. Naturally, you’ll have to do some heavy lifting to get your the end goal. All good things come with a price. But you’ll have no issue paying this one because you’re interested in learning. Just make sure to slow down and make time for rest.

LEO

Love comes with limitations, blocks, and barriers. Believe it or not, distance really does make the heart grow fonder. Enjoy space from your crush/S.O. and try not to be settled on any one particular outcome. Seriously, even though Aquarius has an air of permanence, this New Moon is for letting yourself test the waters. Maybe what you are envisioning comes with pretty serious lifestyle changes—are you ready for that?

VIRGO

When was the last time you looked under your bed? Or at the top of your ceiling fan? Dear Virgo, herald of constructive criticism, it’s time to tidy up. This New Moon is calling out aspects of your life that you have swept under the rug. Clearing out the dust bunnies may feel gross and can even lead to you feeling sick. But once it’s done, you’ll be able to breathe easier.

LIBRA

You might feel the inclination to halt or hold back because of exhaustion or apprehension. Breathing through moments of stagnancy can be more rewarding than it sounds. Remember, a state of being is a divine state of existence. Your body was not created to continuously be in a state of motion. Go with the flow and move how you need to. Your creation is coming in due time.

SCORPIO

Not much needs to change for you to let yourself get inventive. You might be waiting for something when in reality, you could make use of the time you have now. If you’ve wanted to get more artistic, recognize that innovation begins with what you have. You can’t improve upon what does not exist. Try, fail or succeed, and let the unknown guide you.

SAGITTARIUS

You have a voice, Sagittarius. Your backbone may never be perfectly straight, but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t have to be perfect. Believe it or not, it’s the swagger in your step and your impediments that bring uniqueness out of you. Don’t feel the need to conform to a certain ideal—your own persona is what’s most appealing.

CAPRICORN

Take some time to appreciate what you’re worked for, Capricorn. This New Moon acts as a reminder that that you are always capable of creating security. What comes down must come up, if you will it. Enjoy how capable you are, Capricorn. Not even a sea of haters could drown your ambition.

AQUARIUS

What happens when we refuse to question authority? A lot of lambs are sacrificed and witches unfairly burned. You are no stranger to rebelling against what doesn’t make sense, so try not to lose that fire. Be a black sheep and please try to avoid making a martyr out of someone. The New Moon is challenging your foundational beliefs: What does right or wrong mean to you?

PISCES

As your mind opens and your thoughts expose themselves like a dust box left in the basement, take each new revelation with patience and sour candies. As you know, the future is not set in stone. Whatever you’re now recognizing isn’t a fleeting realization, so treat your observations with respect. Give yourself time to process what comes after the New Moon.
