Choosing Our Future Reality

New Moon in Aquarius 1/29/2025 7:36 am 9 degrees 51 minutes

Sun conjunct Moon in Aquarius

This new cycle in Aquarius is about how we will begin to self-actualize our individuality daily. Given the times and the shifts we have experienced over the last few years, this New Moon in Aquarius is unique.

Aquarius is the sign of individuation. It is ruled by the planet Uranus, which points to innovation, electricity, ancestral memory, and friends or groups. It can also refer to isolation, rebellion, and trauma. We can expect that life will happen differently from this point on.

Lunation conjunct Pluto and Mercury

This Lunation is conjunct two other planets: Pluto and Mercury. Pluto in Aquarius refers to confronting, merging with, and transmuting our individuality. Mercury in Aquarius is about a sudden mutation in our thought and communication patterns. This is a shocking transformation and realization of how our thoughts have been occupied by the external world, and this is an opportunity to break free. The polarity point of Aquarius is Leo. The polarity point of Pluto represents the evolutionary intention of the soul and the collective. The radical change looks like becoming an authentic individual from inside our hearts.

Mercury has ingressed into Aquarius. Mercury refers to our thought and communication patterns; in the sign Aquarius, it is a breaking free of perceptions and how we communicate them uniquely. Each of us has a unique perspective of reality. This affects the perceptions that each of us perceives. We cannot occupy the same space as others; therefore, we cannot see things from the same point of view. People worldwide are experiencing different circumstances, creating a diversity of perspectives. Many perspectives can be valid simultaneously, even if they are opposing. This is the nature of Gemini, which is ruled by Mercury.

With such a significant conjunction, it is difficult to separate the energies. Each planet is vibrating its frequency at the same time. We can experience this as a muddled effect. Yet, all express an incredible shift into a new, uniquely transformed being that we are about to self-actualize.

Lunation semisquare Venus

Venus in Pisces is about the transcendence of past relationship patterns. We have recently completed the nodal journey through Libra and Aries, which helped us to identify where we were experiencing inequality in our relationships. We were integrating more of our instinctual selves into our relationships to find balance in the people-pleasing dynamics we have all been conditioned to follow. Within this dynamic are forgiveness and the alignment with the divine aspect of relationships.

The crescent phase semisquare to the Lunation that has us breaking free from the past way we have self-actualized, communicated, and been emotionally attached to is at the beginning stages of internalizing the energy of transcendence. Thus, the individuation process is well underway to transcend prior relationship dynamics.

Lunation trine Jupiter ® Gemini

This Lunation is working toward the exact last quarter trine with the Moon. Our inner emotional landscape is individuating and being placed into the societal realm concerning the acceleration of our personal truth and beliefs being lodged within the sea of present perspectives. This is an intense aspect. We may feel that our individuality is being jeopardized. This fear is unfounded. There is an ease in assimilating our individuated selves into the societal structure, which will inspire others.

Associated with the Sun, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini is in a first-quarter trine. The original conjunction took place in Aries in April of 2023. We began a new cycle of self-actualizing our truth/beliefs in a new instinctual way. At the first-quarter square last January, while the Sun was in Aquarius and Jupiter was direct in Taurus. We made different choices to self-actualize our individuality by believing in our inherent value. At this trine, we are putting into daily action what we learned at the square by following our beliefs in the sea of many to affect our individuation.

Mercury trine Jupiter ®

Mercury's ingress into Aquarius helps our minds and communication break free from previous limitations linked to consensus thinking. Mercury is being affected by several planets, which will help us to understand the nature of the shift.

Jupiter retrograde is an energy that causes us to believe in a unique and individualized way. It is about accelerating our beliefs to prevent us from believing in anything generated in the external world. The sign of Gemini, which Mercury rules, refers to naming and labeling what is salient for us. Jupiter retrograde in Gemini refers to our personal beliefs from the perspective of what we have experienced.

The trine between the two is a last-quarter trine. This is where our thoughts and communication diverge from the beliefs of the status quo and align with our personal truth/beliefs.

Mercury trine Uranus ®

This last-quarter trine with Uranus retrograde is linked to divergence and individuation from the beliefs of the status quo. Uranus retrograde in Taurus is accelerating the breaking apart of our value system. This includes the value we hold for ourselves.

Mercury in Aquarius relates to breaking free from thought and communication patterns holding us back. The alignment suggests that we have undervalued ourselves, and that has caused thoughts and communication patterns that have limited us. The energy is now available to break free from the limiting communication patterns.

Mercury trine SN Virgo

The SN in Virgo represents the past identity with an internal inadequacy pattern. This results in self-criticism, being critical of others, and perfectionism. The NN in Pisces is the direction of our future identity: to heal from or transcend those patterns by letting go of criticism and holding compassion for the self and others.

The first-quarter trine between the SN and Mercury in Aquarius is the flow of energy that allows us to put the new practices created by the square into daily practice. The first-quarter square occurred while the SN was at 0 degrees Libra and Mercury was at 0 degrees Capricorn. SN at 0 degrees Libra was the culmination of identifying ourselves through the eyes of the outer world. We had to make different choices to Think and communicate from a place of our own

Mercury sextile NN

The NN in Pisces is the future identity of compassion, forgiveness, transcendence, and aligning with a higher meaning in life. Mercury in Aquarius refers to a sudden shift in thought and communication processes. The last sextile between them suggests that as our thought patterns transform, our new identity with the potential to actualize a new social role concerning our future selves aligns with higher meaning.

Mercury sextile Neptune

The transformation of our thought and communication patterns is in a last sextile to the transcendence of the previous cycle. As we break free from outdated thought patterns, we begin to actualize a new societal role that aligns with the Source of all things. Neptune in Pisces has no form. It is unclear, yet within it is the birth of a new potential. As a water sign, it is highly emotional. We can feel what is to come as a building potential.

Mercury Aquarius semisquare Saturn Pisces

Breaking away from the thought processes of the past paradigm and the dissolving structure of reality is in a last semisquare to each other. A crisis emerges as the new thoughts accelerate the mutation between the past and the future. There is the desire to experiment with new ideas and handle current social duties. Doing both will be necessary.

Venus conjunct: Saturn, Neptune, NN

Venus in Pisces refers to a dissolving or transcending of how we relate to ourselves and others. Saturn in Pisces refers to the dissolving of societal and emotional structures that no longer serve humanity. Neptune in Pisces refers to the fogginess we perceive when no definition exists because all structures have dissolved into the void. NN in Pisces refers to our future selves who have transcended past limitations and are growing toward forgiveness and self-compassion as well as forgiveness and compassion for others.

All these energies are expressed simultaneously, making it difficult to perceive them separately. We can feel it, though. It is a welling up of all the emotions and perhaps a running-through of several different emotions. It all leads to confusion and anticipation.

Venus sextile Uranus ®

Venus in Pisces and Uranus retrograde in Pisces are supportive of one another. Venus in Pisces dissolves or transcends the values we have placed on ourselves and out into the world. At the same time, Uranus refers to breaking free from outdated value systems in general.

This last sextile represents the creative identity that, based on the original conjunction, has the potential to fulfill a new societal role. The conjunction occurred in May in the sign of Taurus. We began a new cycle of breaking free from how we relate to ourselves based on how we value ourselves. At this last sextile, we are transcending the value we have placed on ourselves in the past.

Venus trine Mars ®

This planetary pair describes how we complete ourselves in relationships. The last conjunction between the two took place in February in the sign of Aquarius, where we began a new cycle of

completing ourselves uniquely and individuated. We desired to transform our relationships.

The disseminating trine involves transcending the value we have placed on ourselves and reconsidering our actions to align with a sense of emotional security. By sharing this with the world, we can be an example for others to follow.

Venus opposed SN

The SN in Virgo refers to the past identity that feels guilt, shame, or inadequacy. This past identity works hard to perfect the self due to the perceived inadequacy. The inner critic has been online and expressed as external criticism.

Venus in Pisces is dissolving the way we have valued ourselves. We experience the two energies shifting between the extremes until we can integrate transcendence, forgiveness, and self-compassion.

Mars ® Cancer

Mars is fire energy. It generally expresses in the external world as actions based on desire. Mars is the Lower octave of Pluto. Pluto is the unconscious desire, while Mars is very conscious. It manifests as urges to do something. When Mars is in Cancer, the actions are linked to the emotions and whether or not an action feels safe.

When retrograde, we learn the meaning of choosing our actions before acting. We are more cautious. Therefore, Mars retrograde in Cancer is reconsidering our actions before we act to determine safety. Mars retrograde can also be repressed actions. In the sign of Cancer, the reconsidering can be due to emotional insecurity.

Mars ® trine: Saturn, Venus, NN, Neptune

The stellium in Pisces refers to the dissolution and transcendence of our values, the external structure that our values were related to, and the ability of our future selves to forgive and have compassion for ourselves and others. The fogginess and flooding emotions we feel leave us feeling confused.

Reconsidering our actions before we act to determine if we feel secure seems natural when we cannot see where we are headed. Mars is in a first-quarter trine to Saturn, Neptune, and the NN. Its placement keeps us contemplating the future while in the holding pattern. Venus is in a disseminating trine. While in the holding pattern, our changing values and increased self-esteem are placed in society as an example for others.

Mars ® square Chiron

Reconsidering our actions before we act to maintain an inner sense of security is in a first-quarter square to Chiron in Aries. Chiron in Aries refers to the wound we all carry that has prevented us from showing up as our true selves. We are learning to accept the wound of our uniqueness and use it to help others heal.

The first-quarter square refers to showing up as our true selves by making different choices to reconsider whether our actions come from a place of internal security or what feels right.

Mars ® sextile Uranus

Reconsidering our actions before we act to maintain an inner sense of security is in a new sextile to breaking free from outdated values. A sextile is a mutually supportive energy that internalizes the intention of the original conjunction. The original intent was to take action to break free from old values.

Reconsidering our actions to maintain inner security is an example of breaking free from worn-out values. It shows that we value the internal world and our feelings over acting based on the values of the external world.

Jupiter ® Gemini trine Pluto, Mercury, Lunation

The conjunction between the Sun, Moon, Pluto, and Mercury represents a shift in consciousness that allows us to individuate into a version of ourselves that we were designed to embody beyond our conditioning. Each of us holds a different perspective relative to our uniqueness and circumstance.

Jupiter retrograde in Gemini is the energy that allows us to choose what we believe that is different from the consensus beliefs. What we believe is essential to the reality that we perceive.

Because the planets in this conjunction move at different rates, it alters whether we deal with a first-quarter trine or a disseminating trine. Both types allow for an ease of manifestation. Still, the disseminating trine carries with it the flow that accompanies a divergence from the beliefs of the consensus reality.

The Sun and Pluto are the slowest planets; therefore, Jupiter is in a first-quarter trine concerning them. The first-quarter trine is related to the "crisis in action" square, where the soul must choose a different approach to effect change.

Regarding the Sun, the original conjunction occurred in April 2023 in the sign of Aries. The intention was to self-actualize a new cycle of beliefs. At the first quarter square a year ago, the Sun was in Aquarius, self-actualizing individuation, and Jupiter was in Taurus, so we needed to make different choices to align our beliefs with our values. As we approach the exact trine,

Jupiter is retrograde in Gemini. We self-actualize our uniqueness by individuating our beliefs related to our values and how we describe what's happening around us.

Regarding the Moon and Mercury, we are experiencing a disseminating trine. We are integrating our purpose into society. Integrating our purpose can inspire others as we individuate ourselves and our thought processes to align with our particular brand of truth.

Regarding Pluto, the underlying desire of the soul, at the square in May 2023, Pluto entered Aquarius, and Jupiter entered Taurus. We intended to merge with and transmute our individuality and make new choices to align our beliefs with our personal values. As we leave the trine, we follow our beliefs from many perspectives.

Jupiter ® square Saturn

Reviewing our beliefs and the perspectives we have adhered to in the past to determine if they are still valid is in a first-quarter square to the foundation of the reality we are creating for ourselves.

The original conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter took place in Aquarius in 2020. The intention was to begin a new cycle of breaking free from the societal beliefs guiding the societal norms at the time.

At the "crisis in action" square, we must make different choices to relieve our inner conflict when we continue to follow beliefs we no longer align with.

Saturn semisquare Pluto-Mercury conjunction

Pluto in Aquarius is both personal and collective energy. It is the soul's desire to break free from the limitations we have been conditioned by and find our authentic selves, which emanate from within each of our hearts.

Mercury in Aquarius refers to breaking free from the thought and communication patterns prescribed by consensus thinking.

The Pluto-Mercury conjunction speaks to a new cycle of breaking free from the consensus' limiting thought and communication patterns.

Saturn conjunct Venus

Saturn in Pisces refers to crystallization upon the substrate of the Source of all things. It can also refer to the dissolving of the structure of reality and creating a new reality upon the blank slate. Venus in Pisces refers to the dissolving of relationship patterns and the transcending of esteem patterns.

As the two planets come together, the past relationship patterns with ourselves and others will dissolve, and a new reality structure will be created.

Uranus ® sextile Neptune-Venus conjunction

Venus and Neptune in a balsamic phase conjunction. Venus refers to how we relate to ourselves and others and the value and meaning we find through earthly experiences. Venus is the lower octave of Neptune, where Neptune expresses the universal love of Spirit, and Venus represents love from a human perspective.

Neptune in Pisces is about the transcendence of the current cycle of reality. The previous energy structures are dissolving back into the Source. It is about spiritualizing the reality. In this space, we have lost meaning in the previous structure and begin to align with a higher, more spiritual meaning.

Venus in Pisces is about dissolving the limitations of past relationship dynamics. As Venus closes with Neptune, we transcend the relationship patterns of the dissolving paradigm and align with the universal pattern of Spirit.

Uranus ® trine Pluto-Mercury conjunction

The Pluto-Mercury conjunction refers to a new cycle of individuation of thought processes and communication patterns. As we individuate into our true selves, our mindsets must focus on our individual processes. Currently, our brains are still wired to the old paradigm. This is the beginning of the mind shift from outer to inner.

Uranus retrograde in Taurus refers to the acceleration of how we survive in the world. It is related to what we value and, therefore, need. One layer of this energy is breaking free from external value systems and learning to value ourselves differently.

The trine between these two planets is a disseminating trine. Our thoughts and communication are individuating. In the disseminating trine, we incorporate our radical thoughts and communication into society.

Uranus ® trine SN Virgo

Uranus retrograde in Taurus refers to breaking free from the external value system. It is part of our individuation process. It is related to Neptune in Pisces in that the individuation process is because we are to spiritualize and find new meaning in life that emanates from within.

The SN in Virgo refers to the past identity that focuses on the details of reality. This myopic view of life does not consider the bigger picture (Pisces). It reduces the whole into its individual parts. Then, it sorts those parts into a hierarchy of importance. With this view, humanity has divided its parts into those that are good enough and those that are not. Collectively, we are moving away from feeling not good enough and achieving a balance between how we bring Spirit (the whole) into form. This balance looks like compassion for self and others and forgiveness for perceived mistakes.

The trine between the two is a disseminating trine. This is where our past identity, which feels inferior or superior, breaks free from the external values that cause us to have poor or inflated self-esteem. We disseminate this into the social sphere and become an inspiration for others.

Neptune conjunct Venus NN

Venus and the NN are closing into Neptune, the dissolver of all boundaries. Neptune in Pisces can be likened to the Source of everything. Everything emanates from it and must return to replenish the storehouse for future emanations.

The NN in Pisces refers to our future identities aligned with the energy of the Source. This energy includes compassion, acceptance, forgiveness, and universal love. Venus in Pisces aligns earthly love and how we relate to ourselves and others with the all-encompassing energies of the Source.

Neptune sextile Pluto-Mercury conjunction

The Pluto-Mercury conjunction refers to a new cycle of individuation of thought processes and communication patterns. Neptune in Pisces is the Source of energy. It is where all energy emanates from, and all used energy returns to be renewed in the next emanation.

The closing sextile with Mercury suggests that the new individuated thought and communication patterns lead to a new identity with a new universal role that aligns with the oneness of all things. The new sextile between Neptune and Pluto supports each other and helps each other internalize the individuation process.

Neptune opposed SN

Neptune in Pisces dissolves all worn-out structures. The SN in Virgo refers to the past identity beginning its deconstruction from identifying with the effects of hierarchy.

The opposition is an integration that helps us move away from the past identity structure and toward the future identity. In this case, we are moving away from identifying with the effects of hierarchy and integrating an identity that aligns with the spiritual nature.

Pluto trine SN

The SN at the beginning of Virgo marks the start of a shift away from identifying with the external hierarchy. It is in a first quarter trine aspect to confronting and transmuting the individuation process by becoming our authentic selves and meeting life from our hearts.

The last time Pluto and the SN made a conjunction was in March of 2019 in the sign of Capricorn. The intention was to begin a new cycle of identifying with the transmutation of the societal structure. The "crisis in action" square between the two planets occurred in July 2023, when the nodal axis shifted into Aries and Libra, and Pluto was at the anarectic degree of Capricorn. We had to make different choices to begin moving away from identifying ourselves with the external world.

At the trine, with the nodes shifting into Virgo and Pisces, we put the lessons of the square into everyday action and begin the process of healing from the discomforts of hierarchy.

Pluto sextile Neptune/ NN

The NN-Neptune conjunction refers to the completion of integrating our future selves. The NN in Virgo refers to the beginning of deconditioning from the effects of a hierarchical system as we complete the spiritualization process at the exact conjunction between the NN and Neptune.

Pluto in Aquarius is the beginning of merging with the individuated self. The sextile between them is supportive. The individuated self supports the future identity aligned with its spiritual nature.

Pluto Aquarius semisquare Saturn Pisces

Pluto in Aquarius refers to confronting, merging with, and transmuting our individuality. The soul has become emotionally attached to a particular way of being. Pluto transmutes the attachment by

exposing the nature of that attachment. The polarity point of Pluto represents the evolutionary intention of the soul and the collective. In this case, Leo is becoming an authentic individual from our hearts.

Saturn in Pisces refers to the dissolving nature of our current reality. Saturn crystallizes energy, while Pisces is the place where all dissolved energy returns for recycling.

The original conjunction between Pluto and Saturn occurred in January 2020 in the sign of Capricorn. Pluto and Saturn began a new cycle of transmuting the nature of our societal structure. Saturn in Pisces is withdrawing from the prior experience to internalize it at the crescent semisquare. This is priming the way for our individuation to happen.

Kite: Neptune/Venus, Pluto/Mercury, Uranus ®, SN

The kite is an auspicious pattern that can be found in a chart. It is formedwhen four planets aspect each other in a grand trine formation while also being sextile to each other. It creates a harmonious flow of energy and can bestow good fortune. The apex of the kite, connected to the two supportive sextiles, points to the rise or the direction. The opposite end of the chart is the point we are integrating. In this case, the rise is the Neptune-Venus conjunction, which aligns human love with universal love.

What Does It All Mean?

This is an incredibly powerful New Moon. We are embarking on the journey of individuality. Each of us was born with a specific purpose and perception of reality, but our culture has co-opted it. If we choose, we can break free from the control of the outer world. We all control where we put our attention. Over the past year, we have been learning to focus on the internal world and what we feel inside. Mars retrograde in Cancer is still showing us that this is the intention.

The shift is occurring. The universe is dissolving how we have related to ourselves and the outer world. We have the opportunity to heal from the emotional damage inflicted upon us for millennia. The nodes moving into the Virgo-Pisces axis point to how we move forward. Pisces is the totality. Virgo is the pieces and parts separated out for inspection.

The dissolving paradigm has us separated as far as we can be. This separation has caused death, illness, depression, hatred, and self-loathing, to name a few. We have identified ourselves through this lens. The external powers currently guiding this reality have us fixated on the separation. They show us what to believe, what to think, and what to value.

This New Moon offers a different reality. The energies are guiding us to break free from the external. Our thought processes and what we can see with our eyes can be manipulated, but our hearts cannot. The kite formation is the key.

Universal love, forgiveness, and acceptance point the way. It is the direction of the future identity. When we align with our heart-brains, we align with the totality of all things. We merge with the individuality that we were designed to create. We are being given the precious and rare opportunity to create something different. What will you choose?
