What do you want?

If I were to ask you what it is that you actually want, would you be able to answer? Do you know what you want? Are you keeping it a secret that you are too scared to admit? Or are you just going along with what you think you should want?

We have the New Moon in Aquarius coming up on Saturday 21st and the Chinese New Year (which is a new lunar year) is on the 22nd. If you have started this year not really sure what you want, or just going along with the general expectations of how your life should look, then now is a good time to give what you want some real thought.

Have you started 2023 feeling stuck? Maybe you are in a job that you don’t really like, or a relationship that has lost its spark. Maybe your life looks perfect on paper, and you have everything you should have, but you still feel like something is missing. You know what you don’t want, but do you know what you do want? 

When you do allow yourself to think about what you want, are your thoughts just general? Like a better paying job, or to find your soul mate, or even just to be rich. This is a great start, but we need to get more specific. What does your ideal life look like? What would you need in your life to feel happy and fulfilled? Having a clear purpose and vision for what you want your life to look like is the foundation for giving you focus and direction.

If money were no object, what would you do with the rest of your life? If you knew that no one would be hurt or upset by your choices, how would you spend your days? Would you stay in your current job? Would you spend more time with friends or family? Would you travel? What would you do in your spare time?

Find a quiet place to sit comfortably, close your eyes and take some deep breaths, then dream about the possibilities. Picture your dream day. Where would you wake up? Who would you be with? What would you do? How would you spend your day? Who would you spend it with? As much detail as possible. And then take some time to write it down. 

Next, think about the things that are most important to you in your life. What gets you out of bed in the morning? What do you wish you could do more of? Who would you like to spend more time with? What are the things that you like to do for fun?

Once you are clear on what you actually want, on the things you want to do more of and what makes you happy, you can start to set goals and intentions for yourself.

How can you harness the energy of the moon in your goals and intention setting? This New Moon happens to be one that will encourage us to align more with the person we want to become. What are the outdated ideas that you are still living by? Where do you need to embrace change? Or look at things from a different perspective. 

If there are any toxic relationships in your life, or if you have any codependency issues, this is the New Moon to break free from them. Where do want more freedom in your life? Where do you need to be more independent?

The biggest theme of this New Moon will be taking responsibility for yourself, your life and your actions. We need to remove ourselves from the things that are not good for us in the long term, that are holding us back and stopping us from doing what we want.

Aquarius is the rebel of the zodiac, don’t worry about what you should do, think about what you WANT to do. And then make a plan to go and get it.
