The New Moon Falls in Fiery Aries this Friday the 5th of April. A New Moon is always a powerful time for new beginnings and this New Moon is supercharged with feisty Aries energy. The first sign of the Zodiac, Aries is all about starting things, not always following through but definitely starting things ?
This is a great time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Ram. It’s time to take action…try something new and innovative, and go for it with passion and confidence. Be assertive without being harsh, take charge of our lives, start a brand new project and discover our own personal courage.
This is an extremely potent time for setting intentions and taking initiative as we’re entering a new cycle that is powered through rebirth and transformation. Aries fires courage in our veins, making this a good time to listen to our intuition and follow… as always our hearts.
The motto of Aries is “I am” the expression of the starting point, the seed that is planted in the Earth as a whole, before it begins to shoot. The seed just is “I am”, so… a New Moon in Aries is especially ripe with opportunity for new beginnings. We might consider acting on positive desires and following a hunch or taking a risk. Aries learns through experience and action, so now we may feel the urge to treat ourselves to a little adventure.
It’s also a good cycle under which to discover the benefits of expressing ourselves with authenticity. Expressing ourselves as we truly are, without hiding behind masks or putting on airs and graces. We might also find ways to learn how to rely simply on ourselves and to be happy about doing just that… it will go a long way towards finding inner happiness when we know that we can be self-sufficient without blaming others for not helping us out.
The Aries New Moon is reminding us to embrace the different and unique magic that flows within us. This is a time of embracing all that we are without worrying what others think or believe. This is a time of breaking up with the expectations and perceptions of the past.
This New Moon is heightening awareness, offering us new ways of looking at things. This is also offering us the ability to see things more clearly, which can show some uncomfortable truth to our eyes at times as we see things as they are. Be aware of anger that can rise when Aries is in the air. Tempers can flare out of the blue causing miscommunication, arguments or conflict.
This is a strong cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship to ourselves. With this potent Aries energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. Aries does not plan for the future very well and tends to live very much in the now… so we need to make sure to set some solid yet realistic plans, and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, as these will begin to take form approximately two weeks after the April Libran Full Moon.
The Aries New Moon is typically the best time for manifesting, setting goals, planting seeds, and making wishes. If you want a time of year for getting clear on your dreams and mapping out what the future will look and feel like, the Aries New Moon is one of the best as it is the first New Moon in the Astrological New Year.
The Moons closeness to Mars works well with Aries energy. This energy may make us feel brave and confident. Taking the initiative is favored now, as long as we move in the direction of what is calling to our hearts. If we don’t channel this powerful energy however, irritation and frustration can occur.
The Aries New Moon forms a square aspect to Saturn, suggesting some blocks surrounding our new beginnings. Something may not get off the ground as quickly as we’d like just now. Even so, we’re in a rare window when none of the major planets/bodies are retrograde, and things may very well move along nicely after the possible slight hold up here and there.
The Aries New Moons aspect to Jupiter reminds us to remember our personal worth and not to lower our standards when it comes to others. There can be a desire at times to lower our boundaries or needs, especially to those who are important to us. But we must remember not to walked over as we are just as important too.
The Moons aspect to Pluto may expose some very powerful emotions or feelings that were buried deep and they may rise to the surface quite suddenly. This can be very intense to deal with as this can be triggering past trauma. We need to remember to stay open and be present with what is unfolding and not to turn away from it, as there is big transformation here. Be aware of those that would use manipulation, games or guilt to get what they want. There’s a bit of trickery and treachery in the air.
The Aries New Moon is also reminding us to be open and honest with others when it comes to how we are feeling. There is nothing to be gained by swallowing our truth. This New Moon comes after the Autumnal Equinox, so it is the newest Moon of the year and just perfect for fresh starts and wiping the slate clean.
Under the dark night of the Aries New Moon, retreat within and see how you are guided. See how you are encouraged to surrender, see how you are being encouraged to plant seeds to align with your highest truth and your highest path.
Ask the Universe to guide you to the perfect path for you. Trust that your soul knows the way and has already laid out a plan for you.
Love and Blessings ♥ ♥ ♥
