Mondays are always kind of a struggle, but at least there’s a cool astrological event going down this week, on Feb. 4, to make the day a little more exciting. It’s a new moon in Aquarius and-ready or not- it’s going to have a serious impact on your life.

In case you’re a little rusty on phases of the moon, a "new moon" is when the moon is in line with the sun and invisible (or mostly invisible) from Earth. There are 12 new moons a year-each one in a different zodiac sign and with a totally different meaning.

This new moon is happening in the sign of Aquarius, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. Because Aquarius is an air sign, it’s big on intellect and discussion. It’s also a time to gather people together and solidify friendships, says Page.

Here’s what else you can expect from the new moon in Aquarius:

What does the new moon in Aquarius mean for your sign?

Friendships will become your first priority around the new moon. "Everyone will feel a desire to reach out and make plans," says Page. "Even if you can’t do it immediately, you’ll want to schedule something for the future."

This new moon is also in the midpoint between Neptune (the planet of creativity and dreams) and Saturn (the planet of reality), making you think about ways to realistically achieve your dreams. Sure, maybe you're not an Ariana Grande-level singer (who is?), but you can still take singing lessons and regularly slay performances at open mic nights, right?

While everyone will be affected by the new moon, Aquarius and fellow fixed signs Leo, Scorpio, and Taurus will feel the most pressure to find the right balance between their aspirations and limitations and to make time for friends, says Page.

How will the new moon in Aquarius affect the rest of your month and year?

The new moon itself doesn’t last long, but it can put things in motion that affect the rest of your month and year. For example, if you have a serious desire to connect more with people or expand your friend base, the new moon might urge you to volunteer with an organization you’ve been eyeing for ages. There, you may meet new people who can have a significant impact on you in the near future.

Ditto if you feel like your career goals just aren’t being realized at the moment. Maybe you’ll start taking classes that'll help you earn the qualifications to score your dream job down the road. Whatever your future plans, now is the time to set them in motion.

Sounds great. When is the next new moon?

The next new moon is going down on March 6th in the sign of Pisces. "It’s very romantic and will be about inspiring you to move forward and make significant changes in your life," says Page.

Can't. Wait.
