Explore the energy of the New Moon in Aquarius

✦
The New Moon in Aquarius is an ascension.
An elevation. A departure from the old paradigm. A spark of new, promising life.
This Moon unlocks the gates of the mind, opening the crown to the heavens, sparking radiant inner light in the dark unknown.
This is the first New Moon in Aquarius since Pluto entered this fixed air sign in November 2024, marking the start of a new 20-year epoch.
Beginning in 2008, the Pluto in Capricorn era illuminated what was not working.
The Pluto in Aquarius era now bestows a holy trinity of activations – visions of a better way, inspiration to take action, & motivation to follow through.
We are seeing this play out on the global stage in what feels like infinite ways, macro and micro.
This New Moon is a higher calling. A holy moment.
Carried on the wings of angels, on the heartbeat of lovers, on the breath of the wind, the luminaries usher us into a portal of transformation.
What will you carry with you as you cross this mystical threshold?
What will you leave behind, so that you may move forward, unencumbered?
What manifestations and miracles are awaiting you on the other side of this gateway?
Open your heart to receive them. Prepare your nervous system to hold them. Be supported in the process…
Gather with the crystalline coven under this powerful new moon.

SERPENTINE ✦ LAVA STONE ✦ LEPIDOLITE
This gorgeous, synergistic combination came forward to support the evolution sure to transpire in the fertile darkness of this moon.
✧ Serpentine is thought to hold the codes of the DNA of our planet within its crystalline matrix. This incredibly grounding, soothing stone invites waves of emotional support through the intensities (and sometimes, apparent isolation) of transformation. As this New Moon ushers in the Year of the Snake, Serpentine will be a powerful ally in shedding what we no longer need to carry with us, what we unsubscribe from, what has weighed us down, what has served its purpose and completed.
✧ Lava Stone is always one of my first recommendations when working with the fires of transformation. This centering, cooling, and stabilizing stone is a relic of raw potential. Lava, like blood coursing through the veins of the planet, bubbling to surface to remind us of the ancient, wild, and unlimited power within.
✧ Lepidolite is literally lithium mica. Lithium – like the emotionally grounding and regulating substance used to support certain mental health conditions. While this stone does not, by any means, replace health care, I am a major advocate of incorporating this stone into your self-care due to its balancing and nurturing influence. This stone helps us to part ways with toxic patterns in our lives and commit to our healing, peeling back the layers of the self to reveal our highest, most authentic frequency.

About Auburn Lily
My heart found its home in Appalachia in 2009. A dormant mystic, the magick in these mountains awakened me from my spiritual slumber. And so, I started The Work: remembering forgotten secrets, uncovering new truths and honing my personal power, with the fruits of the earth and the secrets of the stars as my tools.
