NEW MOON in ARIES
The Sun is finally in Aries, marking the beginning of a new Astrological year. It is springtime in the northern hemisphere, where, after a long, cold winter, nature finally awakens, setting forth a new cycle of life. A new chapter has started, still with blank pages upon pages, waiting to be filled up with all shapes, colors, and textures of experience.
Spring gears up to blossom in its full glory, ushered in by the arrival of the annual New Moon in Aries. Fiery Aries, in all its force and bravado, ignites the spark within us that inspires creativity, ambition, and confidence. Like a small seed planted in the ground, ready to break the ground to claim its place under the Sun, we are braver now to pursue things that we are scared to take on, and new beginnings are likely to strongly manifest in the area of life where this lunation lands on your chart. Aries, the ram, is the epitome of being headstrong, with solid will that withstands turbulence and pressure. A ram attacks things head on, no matter how intimidated it may be. Seeing a ram engaging in ritual fight gives us a clear idea of the sheer power of bravado and courage found in the Aries archetype :
This new Moon is not just the start of a lunation cycle, it also the happening at 0 degrees of Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, at the beginning of spring, which is the start of a new astrological year. This is a very strong marker for a reset; a new chance at starting again, and getting it right this time.
The New Moon’s conjunction with Mercury, the planet of communication and the mind, means that our thoughts, communication, and knowledge will play a key role in the upcoming days. It is a perfect opportunity to enrich our minds, expand our horizons, and learn new skills that can help us achieve our objectives, no matter how difficult they may be.
It is time to shed the old and embrace the new, dear reader. This is an ideal moment to dig deep and unearth our true desires, passions, and motivations. Letting go of the past and stepping into the present with refreshed enthusiasm, is an easy gift of this period. The energy of the universe is focused on pushing us forward towards our goal, like how it pushes a tiny seed to take this giant step up to meet the Sun, from the depth of darkness out into the light. 🌱
