New Moon: February 16th – 18th | Cold Moon

Moon Cycle: January 19 – February 18

Keywords: thinking, community, growth, independence.

The sun is in Aquarius aka we’re ready to be in charge of what we want. Take this time to use your motivations to drive your next moves. The easy-going airy energy from the ruling sign makes these things more achievable. Represented by the owl, the independent, wise and humble animal of the forest, we can expect to mimic exactly this. Enjoy your month, we’ve got plenty to look forward to and keep your eye on the prize. The cold moon is coming in on January 16th, which calls for bundling up, both literally and figuratively.

Community Support

It’s fair to say that as much as we want to get back out there into our “normal” life, covid seems to keep popping back up. Try to think about the fact that it’s a global experience we’re going through as individualized as it may seem because we’re all facing different things from this pandemic. Use your community for support to do the best that you can with the situation in front and continue to get through it together. It’s also a big-time to get social, as the airy Aquarius loves to hang. Find a way to make time for things that bring you joy and do it with a friend. Remember back when people were doing street concerts for their neighbours at the start of the pandemic? Let’s get back to those friendly vibes, with less of the unknown stress.

Words to Ourselves

Aquarius individuals like to be bold, but don’t let this get too ahead of you though. Sometimes, keeping quiet is a better response to someone irritating you than to fight it with fire. Taking the high road always leaves you feeling better than arguing and spending the rest of the day thinking about it. Especially since Aquarius is big into deep thinking let yourself have a little break when you can.

Dreamers in Reality

Now that the New Years’ buzz is fading a little bit, it’s time to get down into our goals and leave out the fluff. Aquarius energy will help by powering up its analytical side. How can you make your dream a reality? By living it! Maybe the old fake it till you make it is exactly what we need (but don’t forget to feel your true feelings).

Lunar New Year

On February first, the Lunar New Year is coming in with a roar with the tiger representing it. You can find more about the Lunar New Year in our New Year vs birthday reset poll debate article here where we asked our Instagram followers which feels like more of a reset to them.

We’re about a week into the New Year and how are we all feeling? Motivated, enthusiastic, nervous? There are endless things we could be, let’s just make sure we’re being self-aware! As we step into 2022, Age of Lapin is wishing everyone good vibes to come.

Year of the Tiger  

Tuesday, February 1st marks the Lunar New Year, with the tiger being this year’s Chinese Zodiac sign. Lasting until January 23rd, 2023, we’ll be facing all things with strength and bravery. One of the main colours for this tiger-based year is blue, which brings a sense of tranquility. Add Eye of the Tiger by Survivor to your playlist and work 2022.

New Year vs Birthday Reset Poll

We asked our Instagram followers through a poll that feels like more of a reset to them, New Year’s Eve or their birthday. The answers: 55% NYE and 45% B-days. Here are what some followers had to say: 

• “Neither. I feel like September is the reset – I still get those back-to-school vibes despite having been out of school for over 10 years. I also find September to be a time to slow down and resented and dig into projects after the flurry of activity that is summer.”
• These are essentially the same for me! Lol! My birthday is today Dec. 30th. For me, a trigger for reset is more within rather than an external date.”
• “For me, New Years is Halloween where the Pagan calendar resets. So for me it’s I have two or three times a year that are kind of a reset so my birthday is it in my bond and spring that’s the opposite of Halloween and then Halloween which is Samhain.”

Some Thoughts: 

New Year’s Eve could be looked at as a globally bigger reset as it’s something that people in every country experience at the same time. Birthdays perhaps take on a more personal approach. Whatever the day or vibe is for you to reset, remember to take the time to do it!
