Mercury Enters Aquarius
January 27, 2025, brings the movement of Mercury into Aquarius. In astrology, Mercury rules our minds, thought processes, and communication. As the planet zips through the cosmos more quickly than any other celestial body, our minds race along with it. As it enters a different sign of the zodiac, our minds take on the energy of that zodiac, seeing the world through its lens.
With our minds influenced by Aquarius, we are guided to look beyond the norm. To peer outside existing structures and patterns and open ourselves to new ways of thinking, perceiving, and creating. To ask ourselves, how can I see this differently? Is this really what I think, believe, want to live by? What exists beyond what I am currently seeing, thinking, perceiving?
Mercury Conjunct Pluto
Shortly after Mercury enters Aquarius, it comes into conjunction with Pluto, our planet of the underworld, on January 29, 2025. While Mercury rules our minds, Pluto rules the depths of our unconscious. As Mercury and Pluto come together, we meet what exists within us that has previously gone unnoticed, unclaimed, and unloved.
It is a time of profound psychological and emotional insight and an opportunity to come together with parts of ourselves that have been waiting for our own presence and acceptance so that healing may begin. It invites an open stream of awareness, traveling from unconscious to conscious and back again, in service of empowerment and transformation.
New Moon in Aquarius
Also on January 29, 2025, just a few hours after the conjunction, we experience the first new Moon of the year. Whenever we meet a new Moon, we are invited to begin again. It is the start of a new cycle and an invitation to tune in and observe where our intuition and desires are guiding us.
Aquarius is a sign that looks beyond existing structures and toward what lies ahead. As the vibes around and within us vibrate with the frequency of Aquarius, there is an invitation toward possibilities and expansion of consciousness. Under this new Moon, explore the energy of liberation. How does it feels in your being?
Uranus Direct
After five months of retrograde motion, Uranus finishes its perceived backward spin this week. The ruling planet of Aquarius, Uranus brings the change, innovation, and even restlessness required for creation.
As Uranus stations direct on January 30, 2025, things begin moving forward once again. This continues the expansion, liberation, and futuristic invitations initiated by the new Moon a day before and builds on the momentum. Change, possibility, liberation, and inspiration become more available as experimentation, intuition, and creativity call our name.
Venus Conjunct Neptune
Toward the end of the week, we experience the conjunction of Venus and Neptune in Pisces. Venus is our planet of love and beauty, partnership and harmony. Neptune, our door into the sacred, is our planet of imagination, art, compassion and dreaming. As these two celestial bodies come together on February 1, 2025, they bring about heightened imagination.
This is a day for beauty, creativity, and compassion. It is a moment in time asking that we seek, find, and feel the overwhelming magic available in each moment, whether found in a feeling, a flower, or silence. Open yourself to magic and you will find it everywhere.
