How To Make Aligned New Moon Wishes During An Aquarius Eclipse

The sky just handed us a karmic reset, and it’s not subtle. We dive into the Aquarius new moon eclipse as a pressure test for identity, community, and truth—where timelines close, roles shed, and aligned intentions take center stage. Aquarius energy is visionary and unapologetically honest, so we ask the question that matters: who are you outside the systems that shaped you?

We share what this eclipse actually does—why it feels urgent at a late critical degree, how sudden clarity and endings show up, and where detachment becomes a gift rather than a shutdown. From first‑gen expectations and faith traditions to the myths of martyr motherhood and hyper‑independence, we trace the hidden scripts that keep us overperforming and under-rested. You’ll hear candid reflections on partnerships, parenting, and snapping under pressure, plus how human design and the throat center influence your ability to speak up when it counts.

Then we get practical. We replace scarcity wishes with three identity-based intentions that actually manifest: receiving aligned abundance, building reciprocal community, and trusting yourself in public and in private. We offer guided journaling prompts to find the truth beneath proving and people‑pleasing, and a simple ritual to seal your choices. An oracle pull on Higher Power rounds us out with a reminder to partner with spirit, let inspiration flow, and keep humility as your compass.

Press play if you’re ready to stop shrinking to belong, choose the community that fits your future self, and step into an identity that feels honest, steady, and free. If this spoke to you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review telling us the identity you’re releasing next.

Eclipse Energy And Intentions

Dora 0:05

Hola, hola my gente. Welcome back to I'm Hijita, Embracing Your Roots, Reclaim Your Essentia. I'm your host, Dorelicia Praxedis, intuitive healer, life coach, Lympia loving, astrology obsessed, first gen latina. And today we are talking about something powerful, something karmic, something that is not soft energy. So we are in a new moon eclipse of Aquarius, which started on Tuesday, February 17th in the morning. And so if you've been feeling restless, emotional, detached, and clear in some ways and confused in others, wanting to burn things down, but also wanting to rebuild, you're not crazy. You're not behind, you're not spiraling, you are shutting. So take a deep breath with me. Breathe in through your nose. And then out through your mouth. How Aquarius energy is reshaping your identity, and how to make new moon wishes that are actually aligned. Because mi amor, you don't manifest from desperation. You manifest from alignment. So what is a new moon eclipse? A regular new moon is a reset, a new cycle. This is where you plant seeds, you make wishes, but an eclipse, an eclipse is fate. An eclipse is karmic. An eclipse removes what you won't remove yourself. It also closes timelines. And this one is an Aquarius. So Aquarian energy is community, authenticity, rebellion, innovation, freedom, and breaking systems. But it's also detachment, emotional coolness, truth without the sugar. So this eclipse is asking, where have you outgrown the identity you've been clinging to? And that's a good one to ponder on. And during these eclipses, there's a lot that shifts, a lot that transforms. And personally, that's where I've been going through the motions. I've been feeling it since last week. Super emotional. Um, there's a lot that's come to the surface as well. But with the new moon, that's where I set my intentions. And for me, it's affecting my seventh house of partnerships, of collaborations. And so I am calling in all these collaborators into my life. Um, and this is something that it sets for the next six months. So I there's a lot of projects that I'm doing right now, and especially going through like chemo treatment and all. Um, I do have energy, ironically, but I know it's because my human design is I'm wired to just wake up and have all these ideas and and just go, go, go. And that's just my nature. So I'm gonna ride that way, I'm gonna ride that wave, that energy. Um, but it's also caused like situations with my husband where and my kids, like relationship-wise, I've been snapping at them lately. And I think I covered that last week's episode, and I didn't feel like myself. And that's because we are so these eclipses and this energy makes us pay attention to the things that are coming to the surface and remediate, remediate or um redirect. And it kind of like like the chiropractor where they like put you back into alignment. That's what these eclipses are, and usually they happen every six months, and so that's what this collective energy is all about right now. Now, let's talk about the degree. 28 is what astrologers call a critical degree, and that means it's late, it's at the tail end of the of the sign, it's almost done, and it also it's urgency energy. Like, come on, let's go. This is not maybe someday. This is we are finishing this lesson now, like ASAP. And if you have planets near the 25th degree or the 29th degree in your chart, because all signs are 30 degrees. This may feel personal, like a personal attack here. I'm not gonna lie. But even collectively, we are closing old friendship patterns, outdated beliefs about success, people-pleasing identities. Like that, I'm one that I always need to reassess. Survival mode community dynamic, so like making sure that you get your stuff done and you want to perform or outperform yourself. And as a first gen Latina, that hits deep because Aquarius asks us, who are you outside the system that shaped you? And sometimes that system is family expectations. Especially if you're listening to this podcast dropping on Thursday, two days, two days in. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, and that's something that systemically, or I'm a practicing Catholic, I go to Ash Wednesday service, and I went with my mom. But for example, that's my personal preference. But the family expectation, we didn't do that growing up, and that's something I decided to do for myself. My kids did not go, they actually go to a different church, which we did go with them. My husband and I, Feely and I went on Sunday with them to their church. It's Christian, it's more laid back than what I'm used to. But essentially, it was the same lessons, it was the same verses or the same readings, and it was the same messaging. And that I appreciate. Anonymously, oh, I can't say that anonymously. And like fasting. Like, for example, the thing with my chemo, people look at me, and obviously, because I have no hair right now and I wear head wraps, they know something's off, right? Because me, Dora, normally wears my long hair, especially working out, I would put it on, you know, like I would have my hair all the way down. I wouldn't put it up. When I put it up, that meant I meant business in the gym. And so for people, it's kind of weird to see with no hair. And I do have a wig, but mind you, I don't put it on. So with all of these things going on right now, it's when all these like conditionings and things are heightened, especially especially when we have cultural silence. So, one big thing that I tell people is when there's a situation, you could do one of two things. You can just be passive about it and not say anything and just let everything go by. Well, then you're being a bystander and you're letting shit happen. But you can also say something. You can you can speak up, you can call it out. And that is something sometimes hard to do, especially with human design. If you have that throat chakra, if you have a nut in your throat. Um, but in human design, it's either it's open or it's closed. And for me, mine is open, meaning other things influence what my throat. So me talking to you, um, I'm influenced by the latest podcast I listen to, or a book I'm reading, or because I went to mass yesterday, that's why I'm all like, ooh, hyper on the, you know, on my love for Jesus right now, which I'm always hyper on that. Um, but that's where culturally there's a lot of stuff that shapes us. And especially if you have um in the human design, there's different centers. And that has a lot to do with how you act on a daily or how you wake up. The other thing too is martyr motherhood. Um, that's something that my mom, oh my gosh, and I've mentioned it before, she's a go-getter, right? She is like service all, like all across the board. She doesn't really care who it is, like if she sees somebody in need, she will cook them a dinner or do something to them. And that's where it's it's hard. It's hard to go through those motions and living up to those expectations of kick cooking, cleaning the house, um, the kids, work, um, and then myself, having a business, and then uh being a wifey and all the things, right? At the end of the day, I'm spent. My husband knows that. I'm spent. Um, and that's where in our head we want to make sure we're like that mother, right? The mother that we want to be. But I think we over, I don't know what the word is, like we over-glamorize what that means in our head. And in reality, it's like we only have so many fucking hours in a day. Like, seriously. Um, and so the other thing that we we tend to systemize, or there's a system around, is hyper-independence, where we want to be so independent and have our own views, but then again, like it's so out there and so far-fetched. And we see this like radical thinking. I mean, that's great. But then again, it's like, why don't we scale it back to critical thinking? Like, is this gonna be in the best service to me and to all around me and to those in the collective? Um, and then the last one here is proving yourself constantly. And that's something that I always have have had that wounding with my father, um, where I always felt like I needed to prove him wrong. Um, and even though he passed away six years ago, I still feel like I have to prove to him that I'm a good kid, that I'm a good girl, the good, the, you know, that that A's on my test, A's across the board, I can juggle all the things, and I know I can do it. It's just, am I doing it for myself or am I doing it for others? And that's where you gotta ask yourself, who are you trying to prove this to? And just sit with that and take note on who are you outside the system that shaped you? Who are you really? And that's where hone in and get clear on that for yourself. And by doing that, you can sit in silence, you can pray about it, you can meditate on it, whatever it calls to you. Here's where I want you to listen closely. Do not make new moon wishes from fear or from lack or from scarcity. So do not say, I wish they would change. I wish I wasn't like this. I wish I had more. Aquarius says, upgrade the identity. So instead ask, who am I becoming? What community reflects my future self? Like who do I want to be surrounded with? Who do I want to be jiving with, running with, um, and have those people along my side. Where am I shrinking to belong? Where are you not being that authentic self and and dimming your light and dimming who you are at the at the core? So this eclipse wants liberation, but liberation requires honesty and honesty with oneself. And sometimes honesty feels like a loss. And that's where you want to make sure you're you feel safe. Um, and when you go through those motions, especially what I've been seeing with my clients, my friends, my family, is having that safe space for someone to listen to. Um, and I fortunately, even though I'm I'm handling a lot of things, I'm able to provide that to the people I love and the people that I connect with on a daily. And I'm making it my mission to help as many people as I can see the goodness, see their potential, see that they're able to overcome all any challenges and any fear and any scarcity and live a life of ease, of love, of compassion, of joy, of peace. I've discovered that, and that's where I want to bring it to. And I'm again, I'm I'm declaring it now. I'm making it my mission to have people, not that I'm perfect or that I have a perfect life, no, by no means, but it takes a lot of effort, it takes a lot of work, and we go through loss. And I recently had a friend call me a couple days ago, and again, eclipse season, and that's why I'm deciding to record this episode on it, is there's a lot of be there's a lot of things being shaken up right now, and it's causing us to really look at how do we prioritize the things that matter to us without forgoing the self-sacrifice. And that takes a lot. And so if you're struggling and if you have no one to go to, I'm like, I'm your girl, I'm the one that you can call. Um, and you don't necessarily have to be like in crisis mode to get and seek help. Um, there's just some things that require a little clarity. So I'll be dropping something in the show notes um where you can just reach out or send me a voice memo or a text. Um, I have a place where a link down below where you can do that and just ask me anything. And that's where I'm open invite right now to everyone listening. It's open invite on ask me what's on your mind. And I'll have that. If you want to be anonymous, I'll definitely put in anonymous, or if you want to be on, like a voice note, I'll definitely put you on. And I'll ask answer your question. So with the collective energy right now, on the planet right now, people are questioning systems and they're refining partnerships, rethinking technology and connection. I mean, AI has moved at such a great pace, a great speed, actually, um, exponentially. And we're also craving community, but needing that space. So Aquarius rules the collective mind. So you may notice, like for yourself and for those around you, sudden clarity or sudden endings, or a sudden desire to pivot and just go like let's go this way versus that way. So eclipses bring that suddenness. So all of a sudden you gotta, ooh, shift, let's toggle and shift, let's go. But what falls away was already cracking. That wasn't you, that wasn't something that, oh, it just happened overnight. It's been happening. It's just this is where, this is where it crumbles. Like again, last week I was feeling it. I crumbled, I was a complete mess, and that's where you have the opportunity to build the pieces back up. And that's where we go through sorrow, we go through loss, we go through this grieving of, but that's how it was. But it doesn't have to be that way. And sometimes things happen because there's a blessing or there's that learning lesson in it, if you take it as in that way. So every experience that you go through, that be positive or negative, there's always a learning lesson behind it. So now we're gonna go ahead and grab your journal and let's go. So feel free to pause this as you journal through with each question and take deep breaths in and out three times, and then go ahead and begin. And if you're driving or if you're going, if you're paying attention to something, you could definitely just in your mind kind of see what comes up and go with the first intuition. And this is where I invite you to automatically automatically write or follow that stream of consciousness of what is coming through. So number one, where am I pretending to fit in? Number two, what version of me feels expired? Number three, what truth have I been avoiding? Number four, what community do I desire? How do you want to be supported? Number five, what boundary feels scary but necessary? And once you're done, now breathe, okay? So deep breath in and deep breath out and place your hand on your heart and say, I release identities that were built in survival. All right. And again, if you need a deep breath in and a deep breath out. So Aquarius isn't emotional like cancer, it's visionary. So vision yourself. Who are you in twelve months? How does she think? How does she choose? And most importantly, how does she rest? And again, we can go back and pause as you see fit to embody what is coming up. Integrate that. Because this is an eclipse, we don't manifest 20 things. We choose three. And they must be identity-based. So some examples are you don't want to say, I want more money. Like you want to be specific. You want to say, I am becoming a woman who receives aligned abundance. The other one could be you don't want to say is I want better friends. What you do want to say is, I am building community rooted in authenticity and reciprocity. And the last example here is you don't want to say, I want to feel confident. You want to say, I trust myself publicly and privately. And you can write them as I am ready to release and then fill in the blank. Or I am stepping into da da da fill in the blank. Or I am no longer da da da fill in the blank. And once you're done, I invite you to light a candle, even if it's a small one, and blow it out intentionally, like if it was your birthday kind of wish. And let it symbolize closure. So I pulled an oracle card from The Wisdom of the Oracle Pocket to Innovation Cards by Colette Barron Reed, and I got number four, which is higher power. And this the essential meaning is conscious contact with higher power, the presence of the divine, seeing source energy in all things, committing to a partnership with spirit. The oracle's message is this card reminds you that you are more than a person trying to get ahead and make things happen for yourself and others. You have an immortal soul and are gifted with a human life through which a higher power can express itself. At this time, you need to be conscious of your connection to spirit and foster it through prayer and meditation. Ask, what is the highest good for all? How can I serve? Then get out of your own way and trust that there is a plan for your life more wondrous than you can ever know. You are always protected and divinely directed. Now the relationship message with this card, it's time to address how much effort you give to your relationship with your higher power, called God, goddess, spirit, or any other name that is sacred and holy. Recognize that your partnership with spirit is your number one priority. The appearance of this card also indicates there is a deep spiritual bond between you and another person who is essential to your growth and evolution. Tend to your spiritual connections and remain aware of your true nature. Prosperity message here. Sometimes your work just flows through you. Ideas come rushing in, inspiration bubbles up from a wellspring you didn't even know you could access. When you enter agreements, begin projects, and negotiate deals with spirit as your partner. You will always succeed. Let your higher power lead. The synchronicities and intuitive nudges you feel will help you see which way you are being pointed, giving you confidence to move forward in the right direction. Don't forget to give Credit where it is due. You wouldn't be a success without Spirit's guidance. Humility will serve you well when this symbol appears. Protection message. Now is the time to examine what you are giving energy and attention to in the back of your mind. If you're obsessing about being right, about old resentments or failed expectations, about money, or about any other people, places, or things, these will be the source from which you create. But you want spirit to be your source. Take heart, for your higher power will never desert you and is always waiting for you to remember the sacred partnership you share. Turn away from other sources of power that don't serve your highest good. There is no greater source than spirit. You can always surrender your troubles and trust that they will be taken care of. You are in good hands. So hopefully this message lands for you in one way or another, especially with this new moon eclipse. Alrighty, mi hermosa. This is not a soft new moon. This is break the pattern, rewrite the script, step into your future. And Aquarius says, you were never meant to fit in, you were meant to innovate. Let this eclipse liberate you. If this episode resonated, share it. Send it to your comadre, to your friend, to your sister, to your anybody, and spend some time journaling tonight. We still have the uh usually with the new moon, it's three days after, so you're still in time. You're right in the neck of time, I would say, through the weekend. And if you feel like you've been in between identities, I have one-on-one spaces open for deep identity recalibration and energetic clarity. So as always, embrace your raíces, reclaim your essencia. Te quiero mucho. And I'll talk to you in the next one. Bye.
