New Moon in Aquarius – February 2026

Each Month I like to include a wordfind tied to the themes of the New Moon. This gives us a chance to just focus on something away from the feed. Word finds tend to help us develop cognitive skills like pattern recognition, visual perception, motor skills, hand to eye coordination, and also memory. These are all pieces of our mind that are currently being rewired and re-conditioned into seeking a temporary form of dopamine by our feeds.

Can you recall the last time you spent significant amounts of your focus on something that brought you joy? Or a moment recently where you were maybe frustrated something was ‘taking to long’? With a swipe, we can ignore or turn away. But something small like a word find asks us to engage to completion, just for a bit. So I encourage you to sit down with a cup of your favorite warm drink. Give yourself a chance to enjoy the precious gift of your own time. The words in this puzzle give you a chance to connect with the energy affiliated with our New Moon as it transits the wise sign of Aquarius!

Enjoy 🙂
