Aquarius Solar Eclipse At 28°
Happy Lunar New Year! The Lunar New Year always happens on the Aquarius New Moon, very emblematic of Aquarius' qualities of community, collective humanity and shared gathering for this new cycle. This new moon is not only special because it signifies the official start to the year of the Fire Horse, but it’s ALSO an annular solar eclipse.
WHAT IT MEANS
In astrology, we typically clear the slate and set intentions on the new moon except when there is a solar eclipse. This is because the Nodes get involved and add more turbulence to the collective as ancients noted ominous experiences during eclipses.
We don’t really want to manifest during chaos
Rather, spend this Aquarius new moon letting life unfold naturally and finding where you can shift your intellect and mind. Something you always thought to be true, could there be another equally valid truth? An opinion that has been calcified over time, are the foundations of it starting to chalk off? This Solar Eclipse in Aquarius can almost feel like we are breaking through the matrix and seeing multiple truths outside of ourselves.
Aquarius’ fixed air qualities lean towards this emotional & perspective separation (this sign is traditionally ruled by Saturn alongside the modern rule of Uranus). In Human Design, Aquarius energy gives off defined head and defined ajna center.
This new moon is all about pattern-breaking as this is the last Aquarius New Moon in our lifetimes with ruling planet Uranus in Taurus. Unconventionality, innovation and new communities are the next phase. Spend this new beginning opening yourself up to different communities that you initially didn’t feel drawn to. Check in on July 29, 2026 on the Aquarius Full Moon 6 months from now to see how far you’ve come in community, intellect and serving humanity.
