January 29, 2025 Edition
Friends, fans, and followers, grace and peace multiplied to you. Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and welcome to this edition of Nooz Now.
2025 is just about a month old, and the new lunar cycle beginning today in the astrological sign, Aquarius, will be the first full cycle of this new year. The energies associated with 2024 have now blended into nothingness, and 2025 is official!
The time given for the new moon is 12:36 a.m., and at that time, we find the moon in the Third House on the 5th degree of Aquarius. There’s also a conjunction involving the Moon, Pluto, the Sun, and Mercury. Wow, that’s four planets.
On a subconscious level, there’s a lot going on at this time. The Third House is known as the House of Communications, but the energies in the Third House can manifest in many different areas.
Subconsciously, we might be thinking about our relationships with family members or members of our family in general, and this includes distant relatives like aunts and uncles and cousins. We might be thinking about how we spend our time around the house or in the neighborhood, and the methods we use for traveling or making trips of short distance.
You know, now that I’m sitting here and thinking about this, a Third House Moon is an excellent way to begin this year because it puts the focus on personal matters that are close to heart. It’s kind of like the saying, “you must first crawl before you learn to walk.”
The Third House is also the last house of the first section of the chart. The first section includes Houses One, Two, and Three, and these houses are all about self-awareness. The Third House is the gateway to the Fourth House, and once we get into the Fourth House the second section of the chart is about the integration of the self with the environment.
In a sense, we’re getting ourselves and our house in order before we take on the environment and the world around us. This is an excellent way to begin 2025.
During this time, some of us will be attempting to resolve issues with family members. If you don’t like the way things are going, talk about it. The Third House rules communication, and don’t forget, Mercury, the God of Communication is involved here.
Some of us might be moving and changing addresses, and for those of us who have children, you might be dealing with the decision to put your child/children in a different school or homeschooling them. Mercury is going direct at this time in Aquarius so discussions will have a purpose now. How can we make things better? How can we be more productive? What do we need to do to put ourselves in a better situation?
If a conversation is beginning to turn into an argument, remember, it’s the start of brand-new year. How do you want to begin it? Do you want to argue for argument’s sake, or do you want to have a mature discussion? Regroup and think about the purpose. Get to the point, and address the issues.
Most conversations will be about forward progress and the future, but don’t get too caught up in what will be or what was because this alignment is definitely about the here and now.
Pluto in this situation will ensure 2025 begins in the most productive way, and this I find truly interesting. Pluto’s appearance indicates serious issues and topics that are going to touch us deep emotionally. That means, we’re going to be super-charged emotionally, and when some of us are triggered emotionally, look out-but, that was the old us?
At this point, things should be pretty cut and dry, meaning, we should already know what needs to be done, we just have to get the ball rolling so that it has momentum when it reaches the Fourth House and we begin to integrate with our environment.
Now, don’t get me wrong, Pluto has a very dark side, but there’s a time and place for everything. Some of us might really need to have our voices heard. Some of us might really need to make some noise to let people know we exist, but that won’t be the case for all of us.
I’m telling you this so you have a full and complete understanding of the energies at this time. If you’re capable of processing and handling emotions, you can ride Pluto’s energy all the way to the bank. If you haven’t figured out how to process deep emotional turmoil, this might be a very chaotic and potentially violent time.
When you’re not working or at school, this might be a great time for you to find a personal outlet, and I’m going to recommend journaling, writing, and maybe even meeting with and speaking with small groups of like minded people because hey, we are in the Third House.
If the pressure and the stress is building up inside of you, the most valuable thing at this time might be having someone who you trust so you can talk.
Having said that, you should, at this time, make yourself available for the people in your life. Just picking up the phone and answering that call instead of sending it to voicemail could make all the difference in someone’s life.
Remember, Aquarius is the sign of the time. He’s friendly, outgoing, and concerned with the world around him. Aquarius is a fixed sign, so his problem can be his rigidity and refusal to consider the opinions of others, but now that you’re aware of this, you should be able to guard against it.
Aquarius is a futuristic sign, and with the Sun present on the 9th degree, the future indeed looks bright. We just have to handle the small things in our lives and around the house to ensure that.
Lunar energy is feminine, and solar energy is masculine. It’s beautiful to have both of these luminaries together and separated by only four degrees in Aquarius for this new moon.
This will be the first full lunar cycle of 2025. If you set your intent today, you’ll have the magic of the universe behind you. So, when you’re planting your little seeds, keep in mind that you’re not only preparing for this lunar cycle, but the year as well.
What were your resolutions for the New Year on January 1st? Revisit them, and write them down.
It’s a wonderful time, and it’s an exciting time of new beginnings. Make the most out if it.
And don’t forget about Venus.
Venus is just now coming to the end of her transit through Pisces. The Goddess of Love and Beauty should enter Aries on the 4th of February. Single men and woman who are looking for love have two opportunities to find it. The first is between February 4th and March 27th when Venus is going direct in Aries, and the second is at the end of April when Venus goes direct again. Venus will go retrograde for most of April, but things should be much clearer after that.
Alright everyone, I’ll see you at the full moon!
