All About February’s New Moon and What It Means for Your Zodiac Sign

Love is in the air … and so is February’s new moon!

Peaking just a few days before Valentine’s Day, this month’s new moon rises at 2:59 p.m. PT on Feb. 9, 2024.

February’s new moon kicks off the lunar cycle, approaching a couple weeks before this month’s full moon, nicknamed the Snow Moon, predicted to peak on Feb. 24. In contrast to full moon appearances, new moons blend in with the night sky.

This is because the moon is in the phase that is not being illuminated by the Sun. However, despite its blacked-out appearance, new moons have just as much astronomical meaning in the cosmic world.

Signifying the 10th sign of the zodiac, February’s lunation will be a new moon in Aquarius, meaning this air sign’s vibes will be electrifying the cosmos. Aquarius is the zodiac sign that rules friendships, communities, volunteering and group activities.

Celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas tells PEOPLE that Aquarius is also “an especially optimistic sign,” as it can “encourage us to get involved and build a tribe that will support us as we push toward our long-term goals.”

Furthermore, Thomas — who’s known for his cosmic guidance for celebrities, business executives and prominent influencers — predicts, “You will likely be feeling a bit more independent and eager to change up your routine” around this lunation.

This new moon is also a supermoon, which Thomas says this “could make us feel a bit more emotional and intense at this time.”
