In astrology, a New Moon is traditionally a time for a new beginning or a fresh start. So it is with this New Moon in Aquarius too – it’s the ideal time to adopt the best of Aquarian energy and to run with it. However, there is one caveat. This New Moon – effectively a conjunction between the Sun and the Moon – is square Uranus, which is the planetary ruler of Aquarius.
This configuration adds a note of caution to the typical enthusiasm of a New Moon. Here, we need to forge ahead with Aquarian objectivity, vision and humanitarian goals, but we need to reign in the more unpredictable, rash qualities that are associated with Uranus, such as rebellion, shock and a futuristic outlook.
It’s a delicate balancing act – it’s difficult to create meaningful change, as Aquarian energy would want, while avoiding upsetting the status quo or causing any shock or surprise. Perhaps the best use of this New Moon in Aquarius is to plan radical change and get all the right ducks in a row, but to hold off on activating that plan until the astrological energies are more conducive to radical upheaval.

New Moon in Aquarius for a Taurus (Taurus dates: April 20 – May 20)

New Moon in Aquarius for a Cancer (Cancer dates: June 21 – July 21)

New Moon in Aquarius for an Aquarius (Aquarius dates: January 20 – February 17)
