Today is a big day. It is the first of 20 new moons in Aquarius which will ride alongside Pluto in Aquarius. These 20 New Moons will roll out once a year for the next 20 years and set the baseline of culture - a culture that will be interconnected by something much deeper than the internet.
These next 20 new moons mark a distinct shift from our last 20 years previously powered by Capricorn. You could say Aquarius is the new power source and the old Capricorn battery has run out. We are nearing the end of extracting from earth and humanity needs to release the grip so a new guard can show the way.
Perhaps we are in between two worlds right now, a liminal space, as Aquarius gets its bearings. It will take time for all of the colors to open and this is our co-creative work with time.
The Capricorn story arc began with innocent opportunities for growth and sporty goal-smashing and ended up with lopsided amassed wealth at the top of the mountain circa 2008-2024. That all happened while humans raced up the mountain to moving goal posts. What was it for? People were left parched, tired and in need of deep nourishment. Also it rose the questions: is humanity just supposed suffer and work hard 40-70 hours a week? Is this really what we are put on earth for? Is that all there is? Pass go and pick up your achievements, join the pageantry. We all know that old playbook. Though what is next next for humanity?
INTERMISSION
Humans worked harder and harder until a unique virus (that only affected humans) put everyone in one unified standstill to cap off the Pluto in Capricorn saga with a big crescendo of Capricorn planets. There was this brief intermission to the race while many began to question where they were going and why. Perhaps the rare camaraderie in crisis in that moment was somewhat of a harbinger of what is to come. It was a flash into the myriad of ways we will be even more interconnected for Pluto in Aquarius years.
Perhaps it’s always best to follow suit when working with astrology. In other words, be like the water bearer (Aquarius) and nourish the ground with your ideas for a new earth. It will grow a garden of the collective imagination - our collective imagination. Plant seeds of the world you wish to live in. Perhaps there is no room for defeatism and we must be visionary creators.
Aquarius asks you to discuss these visions with your community and connect on a shared vision. This is where the collective imagination impregnates consciousness and if we are all too addicted to a defeatist story, a new world will never be built.
Anytime there is a great change coming, we often experience a sudden swing backwards just before. We are literally between worlds as 5 planets move from the end of one sign to the beginning of another this year.
All things must begin in the spirit world. Aquarius wants you to vision a collective ideal and discuss, imagine, new systems of governance, livelihood, and cultural values, love, and circular economies.
We have to be willing not to want something in return. Aquarius is a sign of reciprocity.
What if this moment in time is also a renaissance. The confluence of spirit, science, and ancient wisdom occurred last time Pluto in Aquarius met with Uranus in Gemini (and it occurs again in July 2025)
Pay special attention to your musings, your surroundings, and mainly your most daring intimations of the world we are now building. 20 years of Pluto in Capricorn new moons said: grow, build, scale and get rich. Aquarius says why? You have extracted our earth and we must create more equitable and sustainable systems.
Todays New Moon is extra special, as all endeavors you begin this week receive a helping hand from lucky Jupiter. Go for it, especially as March is full of retrogrades. This is your time to start fresh.

“Whether it’s a personal reading, taking an astrology class, or spending time on a retreat with Rebecca Gordon, you will be forever transformed and see your life through a different lens. Rebecca is a gifted and highly engaging teacher who guides you through understanding astrology with grace and ease. That understanding in turn leads to greater compassion for yourself and others. Rebecca is also a wonderful connector and I’m grateful for such beautiful friendships and inspiring students I have met through studying with Rebecca Gordon over the years.”
“After having read Rebecca Gordon’s book, Your Body and the Stars, I knew it was important to go deeper into studying how the zodiac sign influences health. This class isn’t just for those interested in medical practice, it’s suitable for everyone who also want to be more attuned to their bodies. We were treated to fun and informative sessions on going through our natal charts and watching out for potential health issues, as well as identifying some alignments that could affect the health.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Astrology of Relationships class. Rebecca is a gifted astrologer with a creative and unique voice. She introduced me to new techniques and added layers to my understanding of synastry. Her distinctive take on the waltz between the sun and moon in relationships provided a fresh new perspective for my understanding of aspects in relationships. There is a Facebook group to connect with your fellow students. I love that all her classes are live and interactive.”
“After studying astrology for over 20 years to then becoming professional the last few years, I am a great believer in continuing development. Through studying and learning from many teachers, I have followed Rebecca for the last two years.
Specialising In Medical Astrology I loved her Health and Wellness course, there was so much information which gave me a deeper understanding of how to bring in the ecosystem.
I would highly recommend this class even if you are not an Astrologer you will still benefit from this class.”
“I have taken two full courses and countless workshops and private sessions with Rebecca. She is undoubtedly a master of her craft and a true mentor for her students. I live in gratitude to her for the rich knowledge she has equipped me in understanding myself and in helping others learn about themselves through astrology.”
“I met Rebecca years ago at a workshop she was teaching. I was immediately drawn to the lightness and life that she brings to the ancient art of astrology - she makes it so accessible and fun, without sacrificing any of its depth and life-changing potential. It’s been such a joy to be in her astrology school. I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of myself, and seen how we are all “wired” really differently, based on studies of natal charts. This has helped me to be much more patient and understanding with my friends and family ;) And, the class really feels like a true spiritual community: supportive, intimate and inspiring. I will miss our weekly gatherings!”
