New Moon in Aquarius ~ 17th February 2026 at 23:01 AEDT
ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE:
This occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun while farthest from Earth.
A bright ring forms around the new moon, as the moon doesn't completely block the Sun’s light.
Visibility is very limited.
Themes: Freedom: Vision: Investigation
The gift of the New Moon is a chance to start again, so set a magick intention in your heart and mind with a spell of freedom.
This New Moon is in the good-hearted sign of Aquarius, calling us to progress and expansive thinking. Aquarius energy thrives on novelty and the unusual. These characteristics are required for invention, art and innovation and all require freedom of thought and choice. Be prepared to push against restriction; it's time to experiment and to experience the new. Aquarius calls us to bloom and to give ideas a go.
Be mindful that the Moon’s square with Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) may feel like lightning has struck, intensifying your desire for change. Uranus is the planet of awakening. It throws curveballs and sparks investigation. Prepare for a thrilling ride on every level as you take action to manifest your hopes and wishes.
Bask in the glow of the Aquarian Moon and imagine the wonder of the future, for yourself, others, animals and the world.
Note the date of the Chinese New Year is set on the second new moon after the summer solstice so welcome in the bold Fire Horse calling us to break outmoded patterns.
