Horoscopes for the New Moon in Aquarius

or, the freedom of choosing exile

John Lurie, Eszter Balint, and Richard Edson in Stranger Than Paradise (1984), directed by Jim Jarmusch who was born with the Sun in Aquarius I.

Happy Aquarius Season, babes! Today (1/21) at 3:53 PM EST, there’s a New Moon at 1º Aquarius. Today is when 2023 really begins. We kicked off this calendar year with both Mars and Mercury still retrograde. Mars stationed direct on the 12th and Mercury pivoted into forward motion on the 18th. Tomorrow (1/22), Uranus stations direct too, and for the first time since April 29, 2022, there will be zero planets retrograde. Though there’s still some old stories to parse through and complete—Mercury remains in their retrograde shadow until February 7th and Mars remains in his retrograde shadow until March 25th—intentions set at this New Moon really will help us move on and begin again.

There is a catch though. And that catch is that in order to move on, we have to go our own way.
