The new moon in Aquarius is at 10.58pm on Friday 9th February, and if you can already feel a shift in energy, now you know why. By now, we know that a new moon brings a time for rejuvenation and change, but what exactly does this February new moon mean for us?
“The new moon in Aquarius is a super moon too, which means it’s closer to the Earth than usual and therefore more powerful,” explains GLAMOUR's horoscope columnist and author of The Astrology Almanac Emma Howarth.
“Aquarius is a progressive, social, humanitarian sign which thrives on freedom, friendship and forward thinking,” Emma continues. “An Aquarius new moon offers up an opportunity for all of us to consider ways in which we make a difference, be more true to ourselves and think outside the boxes society likes to put us in!”
Plus, your mantra for the month ahead.
So, how can we harness the power of the new moon and its position in the lunar cycle to set intentions for the months ahead? “A really easy way to do this is simply writing a wish list to the cosmos and sleeping with it under your pillow tonight," says Emma. “Lighting a few candles for vibes is always good too!”
Each zodiac sign will experience the new moon in Aquarius differently depending in which astrological house it falls, but here's what intention you should be setting based on your star sign (always read your rising sign too if you know it), according to Emma…
Aries
Invest in a new friendship group, community or social scene that makes you feel alive.

The phases of the moon are actually pretty complex.
