tells
Clarín
what this event is about astronomically and astrologically and how it will impact each sign.
In turn, the specialist explains that "it will grow in light towards the full Moon that will form on January 5 under the sign of Leo."
“The new Moon marks a beginning, an energetic change that will take place until decanting in the full Moon in Aquarius that will occur in six months”, indicates Sabatini.
As the astrologer explains, Aquarius "is a sign linked to the rupturist, rebellion, change, the avant-garde, freedom, humanism, collective thought and questioning."

The "New Moon", also called the Black Moon, is the phase in which the Moon is least visible, since it is hidden behind the sun's glare.
Each day that passes after this phase, the illumination of the Moon is greater and greater.
"Regarding its meaning, it responds to energetic vibrations of renewal and novelty, since this lunar cycle responds to a collective emotional, physical and energetic regeneration," says Sabatini.

Astrology indicates that every year, the new Moon in Aquarius begins a new cycle of the Sun and the Moon.
“This year, the Sun and the Moon in grade 1 of Aquarius are going to make a conjunction, that is, they are going to align with Pluto, going through the last degrees of the sign of Capricorn.
Curiously, this planet is in 'preparation mode' to enter Aquarius in March 2023”, explains the astrologer.
Another characteristic of this
new Moon in Aquarius
is that it occurs in exact opposition to Lilith, details the specialist, a mathematical point that represents the apogee of the Moon.
Sabatini indicates that, in other words, it will be necessary to recognize the following: "To generate the new change (Aquarius) we need to transform ourselves in a profound way (Pluto), letting out everything that was hidden and our animal side and rebel (Lilith)”.
From the cyclical point of view, this event responds to a new season ruled by Uranus.
“It is a season to
plant the seed of conscious change
, because the Sun in Aquarius activates the avant-garde register and thus illuminates us more firmly that light that directs us towards freedom”, indicates Sabatini.

The astrologer underlines the importance that friendships and ties can generate during this period.
“It's important to surround ourselves with optimistic people who will cast us safety nets and enthusiastically track our progress and motivate us to keep growing,” she says.
“Aquarius represents ideas that come out of nowhere, as if they appeared by magic (like lightning), showing us something that was not logical or obvious before.
That is why it is related to the quantum leap:
Aquarius proposes breaking with the linear, an explosive
and powerful improvement that makes us jump from point A to C without having to go through point B and that very possibly makes our life 180 degree turn”, explains Sabatini.
In short, for the specialist, the new Moon gives rise to "a
time of sowing and vision
, of creativity and innovation, of radical changes that open energy channels."

Sabatini also points out that this lunation, which he considers powerful, will come to take us out of automatic mode, invites us to question and break habits and to learn to do what until now we did not believe possible.
It also suggests that everyone ask themselves some of these
questions with this new Moon
: Am I looking to let go of my blocks?
Do I dare to give rise to new horizons?
Do I develop my singular being?
Do I believe in my transformative power?
Do I share my talent and originality with others?
Am I part of social projects?
“For this lunation, it is crucial to understand that we will not be able to evaporate the war if we do not love all our little parts, lights and darkness, in order to love the other in its entirety and the whole of the world,” reflects the astrologer.
