New Moon Awakens
I, Potentia, feel the electricity in the air . . . the first New Moon of 2025 stirs something deep within. A portal of vision, innovation, and transformation opens before us.
Under Aquarius’ influence, we ask: How can I contribute to something greater than myself?
This New Moon is a threshold. Pluto’s presence ensures that what no longer serves must be shed, while Jupiter’s influence reminds us that expansion follows every ending. The shift is already happening. We are being asked to trust in the unknown, to shed the past like a second skin, and to step into something more true and more aligned.
Pluto, now firmly in Aquarius for the next 19 years, ignites a new era of collective evolution. We are called to dream big while addressing the shadows that hold us back both personally and societally.
With Mercury and Pluto in conjunction, this lunation urges us to integrate hard truths and engage in transformative conversations, dissolving old paradigms that no longer serve us. And yet, an auspicious trine to Jupiter ensures that hope, humor, and expansion accompany our transformation.
Meanwhile, Neptune, Venus, and the North Node gather in Pisces, softening the edges of change with compassion and empathy. Saturn, forming a wider conjunction, offers his steadiness, reminding us that true transformation is rooted in love, discipline, and firm boundaries.
The message is clear: Love not fear is the foundation of our future.
This lunation is an invitation to release what no longer serves us and anchor into values that align with our highest visions. How can we cultivate the love and courage needed to liberate ourselves, our communities, and society at large?
New Moon Ritual: The Shedding
Anoint your pulse points with Amber God Elixir Oil, allowing its sacred notes of labdanum and incense to guide you inward. Light the Black Smoke Candle, its smoldering woods dissolving what no longer belongs.
Breathe in. What is ready to be shed? Write it down. Burn or bury the words, surrendering them to the cycle of renewal.
Exhale. Who are you becoming? Speak it aloud. Let scent and intention weave your future into being.
"I am a vessel for transformation. I shed what no longer serves. I embrace change with courage and clarity."
On this Aquarius New Moon, may we harness strength and liberation, facing the truth of ourselves and the world while understanding that nothing is final. May we be bold as we envision the future… Anything is possible if we begin with love while breaking free of the limits of our minds.
This is not just a New Moon. It is a shedding, a rebirth. Step through.
xx Potentia
