It’s so easy in the wintertime to create a little cocoon around yourself. Like, why would you even bother to venture out in the cold when you’ve got a cozy blanket and Netflix to keep you company at home? Well, heads up: There’s an astrological event on the horizon that’s going to morph you into a social butterfly.

On January 21, 2023, the new moon in Aquarius will push you to get out and make connections with quality people, says Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta.

Of course, there’s way more to it than that. Here’s what else your zodiac sign can expect from the new moon in Aquarius

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

Let’s back up a moment here: As you probably know, the moon goes through different phases. A new moon is what happens when the moon is pretty much all but invisible from Earth—that’s basic astronomy. In the astrology world, every new moon is linked up with a different zodiac sign, giving each one its own special vibe.

This particular new moon is in the sign of Aquarius, and it also has deep ties to Venus, Page says. Translation: You'll crave branching out more and connecting with people. Don't be surprised if you find yourself getting chatty with everyone from the person at the next table over at your local coffee shop to fellow pet parents at the dog park to your new coworker. You’ll also dive a little deeper into your personal relationships, even ones that you’ve had for ages.

You’re not interested in wasting time with idle chitchat—you want to know what makes people tick and what they value most in life.

On the love front, you’ll crave some quality time with your S.O., especially after the busy holiday season surrounded by zillions of people. Find a cute wine bar, cozy up together, and just spend the evening chatting. It’ll go a long way toward helping you reconnect.

This new moon will also push you to look inward, too. What hobbies really drive you these days, and how can you make more space for them in your life? Fact: If you really want to learn to play guitar, but don’t ~actually~ do anything about it, you won't feel fulfilled.

The new moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Page says Aquarius, Leo, and Aries will feel it the most.

How will the new moon in Aquarius impact the rest of your year?

Expanding your social circle while strengthening the ties you already have is always a good move, so keep spreading your wings throughout 2023. Continuously making the commitment to spend quality time with the people in your life (on the regular) will help ensure you stay connected.

Relationship-wise, you’ll also make a point to plan regular, dedicated one-on-one sessions with your partner. Creating a practice of having those constant check-ins will help you remember why you’re in this together, despite all the chaos that may come your way in the future.

And, of course, making sure you prioritize time for what really drives you will go a long way toward keeping you happy as a clam, er, person.

When is the next new moon?

The next new moon is on February 20, 2023 in the sign of Pisces. During this new moon, you’ll feel a little more creative and sensitive than usual. For now, though, enjoy all those quality chats.
