New Moon in ♒ Aquarius (February 2026): Intentions, Rituals, and What It Means for Your Sign

New Moon in ♒ Aquarius (February 2026): a simple guide to intentions, rituals, and meaning

The New Moon is your monthly reset. It’s the moment to choose a direction, plant a seed, and keep it private for a bit.

When the New Moon lands in ♒ Aquarius, the vibe is future-focused. Think fresh ideas, better systems, and community. It’s also great for changing a habit that’s been holding you back.

What a New Moon in ♒ Aquarius is really about

♒ Aquarius energy is:

• Innovative. You want a smarter way.
• Independent. You want room to breathe.
• Community-minded. You want your people.
• Truth-driven. You want honesty, even if it’s awkward.

This New Moon is a great time to set intentions around:

• Friendships and community
• Technology and how you use it
• Long-term goals and your “future self”
• Being more authentic (and less performative)
• Breaking a pattern that keeps you stuck
