Mystical new moon in January: resentments, conflicts and sudden illnesses
It is no secret that the phases of the lunar cycle have a powerful influence on the well-being and mood of a person. So, sometimes even the usual things are given with difficulty, and on other days there is an unexpected burst of strength. Very soon, January 29, 2025, will be a new moon in the zodiacal sign of Aquarius. During this period, the satellite is not illuminated by the Sun, so you can not see it in the night sky. Read more about how the initial phase of the lunar cycle affects people and for what activities this period will be more favorable, and what is better to postpone for later - in the material "Izvestia".
New Moon in January 2025: when the synodic month will begin
The Moon makes a revolution around the Earth in an elliptical orbit. For the observer, the satellite changes from a narrow sickle shape to a full round disk and back. This phenomenon occurs with strict periodicity, and the change in the appearance of the celestial body is called lunar phases.
The new moon is the beginning of the lunar cycle. It occurs approximately once every 29.5 days, which corresponds to the period of the satellite's revolution around the planet. The duration of the astronomical phenomenon, as a rule, is 2-3 days.
During this period, the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, approximately on a straight line. To see the satellite in the night sky is quite difficult, because the celestial body is facing our planet unlit side. However, when the sky is very clear, just before and immediately after the new moon, you can see a faintly illuminated disk - the ashy light of the Moon.
If the Moon is near the ecliptic during the phenomenon (that is, on one straight line between the Earth and the Sun), conditions for a solar eclipse are created. Since the lunar orbit is inclined to the ecliptic plane at an angle of 5.9 degrees, such a phenomenon is not observed every new moon, but only a few times a year.
In the astronomical sense, the event does not depend on where in the world the observer is located. It occurs simultaneously for the entire Earth.
In January 2025, the new lunar month will begin on the 29th at 15:36 Moscow time. At the same time, the satellite will be in the zone of the zodiacal constellation Aquarius. The percentage of illumination of the celestial body on this day will be zero. On Wednesday the inhabitants of the Earth will catch at once three lunar days in one day: the 29th will last until 9:04 Moscow time, the 30th lunar day - from 9:04 to 15:36 Moscow time, and then will come the new moon and the first day of the new lunar year.
New Moon at the end of January 2025: astrologers' forecast, what signs of the zodiac will be lucky
In astrology, the new moon is considered the moment of the beginning of something new, rebirth and potential growth. According to experts, this period is a blank sheet of paper on which you can write a new chapter of your life.
On Wednesday, January 29, the Moon is ruled by the air element, the sign of Aquarius. This position favors individuality, creativity, and innovative thinking in both the public sphere and personal life. The New Moon forms an exact trigon (type of aspect) to Jupiter, the planet of expanding boundaries and knowledge, which opens up opportunities for development and new perspectives.
Trigon (Trine) occurs when planets or other points in the natal chart are at a distance of 120 degrees. This aspect unites objects that are in the signs of the same element. Astrologers consider it one of the strongest balancing configurations - it gives the bearer protection, endows talents and opens an easy path to success. So, the more trigons in the map of a person, the less life shocks await him.
In addition, in the sign of Aquarius will be and astrological conjunction Pluto - Mercury. At this time, even the most unsociable people are able to become the soul of the company - they become more friendly, open and liberated. Awkwardness and shyness go into the background. Esotericist Olga Grankina calls the new moon on January 29 "gateway" to a favorable time.
According to her, starting from this day it becomes possible to effectively energetically influence other people through the word. Those who work in a related field should take advantage of this. This time is also suitable for those who previously could not express their thoughts or wishes. With the Sun and Moon conjunct Mercury and Pluto, the word will reach the recipient better and more clearly. This time is ideal for negotiations, solving money issues or expanding an existing business. However, you should not open a new business, because Jupiter and Mars are retrograde at the coming new moon, the expert explains.
On the other hand, Mercury in the air sign increases the risks of impulsive actions and mistakes. The number of urgent tasks and constant distractions will increase.
The new Moon will have a special impact on the zodiac signs belonging to the fixed cross, starting with Aquarius and further descending: Lions, Taurus and Scorpions. For representatives of these signs of the zodiac period will be particularly intense, they may find themselves in the most unusual situations.
According to fortune tellers, the easiest day will be carried by some air and fire signs of the zodiac - Aries, Sagittarius and Gemini and Libra. This "four" can not limit themselves in dreams, to paint the most grandiose plans and willingly agree to acquaintances (which at first may not even seem particularly promising).
Virgo, Capricorns, Cancer and Pisces will oscillate between their usual state and the Moon's influence, so it may be difficult to keep their balance.
To minimize the negative influence of the air sign, experts advise to follow a few simple rules:
- Optimize your workspace. It is important to try to remove all unnecessary things that can interfere with productivity;
- Take care of the nervous system and remain vigilant. The period of the new moon is always very emotional, but you should not take on an impossible burden;
- Make informed decisions. In the new moon should not run headlong for the embodiment of the idea that just came to mind, and it is better to think it over and make a step-by-step list of actions.
New Moon in the sign of Aquarius: the impact on human health
Since ancient times, mankind has associated various behavioral changes with the lunar phases. Even Aristotle believed that the satellite controls the fluctuations of fluid in the brain - just as in the case of the ebb and flow of water. After Newton's discovery of the law of gravitation, this theory gained further impetus.
The impact of lunar phases on humans is still a little-studied topic. Today you can find opinions that in the new moon the pressure of liquids decreases, so this period is allegedly hard to be borne by hypotonic people, and can also cause an emotional decline in people prone to depression. In the full moon, on the contrary, blood rushes to the head, hence the time is dangerous for people with hypertension and a tendency to mania.
Despite the ambiguity of these statements, medics recommend that during the new moon period to be more careful about health and give the body more time for rest and recovery. This usually applies to weather-dependent people. According to experts, the phases of the moon affect people with chronic diseases: exacerbation and general weakening of the body is possible. Before planning your day, it is recommended to check the forecasts of the Hydrometeorological Center.
There is a belief that during the new moon, as well as the waning moon should not lie down under the surgeon's knife, because surgical interventions can be unsuccessful.
