Aquarius New Moon: Wishcraft


Beautiful Reader...

Create like your joy depends on it.
BE the WayMaker.
It's time.

January 29 at 7:36 AM there is a New Moon in the sign Aquarius. 24 hours before the new moon make a wish....write it down. draw it. activate the intention in some way to acknowledge your ask. Wishcraft.

In Aquarius we are called to serve our family, our community. This lunation is sounding a call, to share the gifts we carry in our hearts in a deeper way.

“As each person completes himself or herself and contributes what is authentic a new paradigm emerges, circularity.

At rest it is a circle and in motion a spiral. . . .If we think of nature as a circle then we are part of its reciprocity. Progress means interdependence. If we respect nature and each living thing as a microcosm of nature, we respect the unique miracle of ourselves. And so we come full circle. Limits gradually disappear.”- Gloria Steinem

Do you know that where Aquarius is in your birth chart you are called to be just plain weird to so called `normal' people? A true Aquarius person never fits in with the norm. They are out ahead of the collective, making new ways, activating new frequencies.

How comfortable are you in `not fitting in'? If you call yourself a light worker then hop on the bus and stop trying to make yourself conform to a way that isn't unique to you. I am talking to that part of you who sees new trends and unconventional approaches to life.

In Aquarius we can see the bigger picture, serve the larger world view.

All of us carry this spark of mind. At the Aquarius new moon you are called to acknowledge and activate your uniqueness. The talents, gifts and capacity you carry within as an original thought, idea, concept.

In an apparent upside down world your presence, your creativity is the gift to bring to your community, what is your joy in 2025?

If we all carry this unique Aquarius energy then where is it?

How do I find it?

It may be buried in what you most fear. Fear of embodying and embracing your power. Manifesting. Having your dreams become reality.

If you have a dream (big or small).

Figure out what you want to create, ask for the obstacles to reveal themselves...appreciate the resistance and don't bully yourself to push yourself through the obstacle.

Reader I'm making different choices this year for myself and the "biz."

One awareness I still love designing. Yet I had walked away from that gift for a number of reasons, there was grief attached. New aha's showed up. I started asking "What would it take to produce design drawings for contractors and home owners?"

To kick off 2025 hubs and I decided to renovate the primary bathroom. The previous owner in 2013 took the wall down, installed glass block. Today the shower tile is failing, the slope in the shower is too steep and the tile floors she choose are too slippery. It's a nightmare.

AND there is no door. When you walk into the bathroom you're faced with looking at the toilet. It's very awkward.

Over the holidays I redesigned the bathroom by turning the shower then reorienting the toilet at the end of the vanity so the shower is the focal point. With bid documents ready I reached out to three contractors for pricing. The 2nd contractor looked at my drawings asking "would you be willing to design and draw for me?"

Bingo. One of my joy wishes in 2025.

Your joy may be as simple as making a choice. Figuring out the obstacle and letting the magic start flowing again.

What gives me joy in 2025? Asking that question, asking my body I realized teaching lights me up, 1:1 sessions the way I structured them not so much.*

New Bold Dreams for 2025? To create art; to work in wood and clay, in the form of altar pieces. I always wanted to take wood shop. What would it take? That's on my joy list in 2025.

I found renewed joy in designing spaces for people. Designing kitchens. That's on my joy list in 2025.

What's on your joy list for 2025? As you greet this first New Moon in Aquarius with Pluto in Aquarius on January 29th, dust off your joy list. Trust yourself and your vision.

With love,

PS You may want to work with the free Pluto in Aquarius journal prompt at this Aquarius New Moon. Pluto helps reveal that spark of joy that went into hiding because of judgment and shame. That joy spark is your weirdness and Pluto moving through Aquarius lights up the places you judged yourself as wrong.

The Deep End of Hope

Dear Reader, The fires in LA. Hurricane Helene in the Southeast. The flooding in Valencia, Spain. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent. People who thought they were immune are now being impacted. Last fall, I followed Emma Churchman’s unfolding story on Facebook about living in the wake of Hurricane Helene, as she and her husband navigated living without power, internet, cell phone service, or even functional roads. Her story has now become a book. I personally know Emma, and I highly...
