I'm an astrologer and cosmic alignment coach. I'm here to help you bring the magic of the stars into your daily life.
The moon and sun will move into the sign of Aries at nearly the same time, making this new moon occur at 0° of Aries on March 21st. This first new moon (because it is happening so early in degrees, we have a rare second Aries new moon on April 19th) is your burst of fresh energy. This dark lunation brings with it the first day of spring, inspiring us to dust off the cobwebs and start clearing the air.
Whether you’re ready or not, this new moon is going to push you off of whatever cliff you’ve been holding on too tightly to and ask you to take that risk you’ve been avoiding. Unlike next month’s new moon, we have a bit more control with this first one. You get to decide what passion projects you’re pursuing, what crush you are asking out, or what difficult conversation you’re going to have. You have the freedom and power to choose where you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone. The Aries new moon is just the driving force behind that push.
I also want to remind you that it’s okay if you fail, fall, and fumble. Aries is here to be your first draft or your dress rehearsal. You can course-correct and edit later down the line. For now, trust in your power and abilities, and take that leap of faith…you may surprise yourself.
Aries rules the head. Because the moon makes a close conjunction with Mercury (the planet of communication), you might observe a rush of new ideas or insights. This is a great lunation to turn what’s in your head into action and worry about the details later.
Read for your rising, sun, and moon sign.
Aries, this is your time to shine! This new moon may be a great time to put yourself out there, let yourself be seen, and stand in the light. Even if this doesn’t come naturally to you, use this spontaneous energy from Aries to get dressed up and turn heads. Take action by taking up space and being seen.
Taurus, you may feel a pull inward during this time. Before spring arrives in full bloom, let this new moon be a time of deep reflection. The excited burst of energy from Aries may translate into anxiety for you. Put yourself at ease by checking in with yourself and clearing the cobwebs of your soul. Take action by listening to your inner compass.
Gemini, it’s time to connect! You will feel most engaged during this new moon by doing something you love with people you love. Let yourself be a part of something bigger than yourself. Take action by finding inspiration in people you admire.
Cancer, lean into what lights you up. Whether it’s your current job or a career you aspire towards. This new moon is a nudge of encouragement. Let it help you take the risk you need to take to succeed. Take action by recommitting to your purpose.
Leo, get lost in a fantasy! This Aries new moon wants you to think big and indulge in your wildest dreams. Maybe you’ve been working on a project you’re itching to share or have been waiting for a better time to enroll in a course that excites you. Take action by following your heart.
Virgo, look outside yourself! This new moon is a great time to put your trust to the test. Think outside of the box in terms of how you can expand your resources. Maybe a collaboration with someone in a very different field might bring new life to a project or business venture. Take action by sharing your ideas.
Libra, it’s time to make the first move. You have been known to take your time deciding the best course of action. This new moon in Aries is done waiting for you to make up your mind, it wants you to follow your gut and trust in what follows. Whether you’ve been waiting to have a difficult conversation with your partner or holding back on sharing your feelings with someone. Take action by getting out of your head.
Scorpio, reset the resolutions. The new moon in Aries is offering you a chance to rethink what habits are benefiting you and what is holding you back. With an abundance of fresh energy here, you may be inspired to prioritize your health in a new way. Maybe you want to try a new fitness class or spend a little extra time on self-care. Take action by re-prioritizing yourself.
Sagittarius, be proud of what you love. Let this new moon allow you to remember what brings you joy. Is it painting on Sunday afternoons or playing with your neighbor’s adorable dog? Your life is in the deepest alignment when you are in a state of happiness. Take action by being present in your moments of joy.
Capricorn, celebrate the small wins. We all know you are a high achiever. But sometimes, the expectations you set for yourself can be too much to live up to. This new moon in Aries wants you to celebrate all of your wins. Recognize what amazing things you accomplish in just one day. Maybe you set a new record on the New York Times crossword or went for a long run today. Take action by appreciating yourself at every level.
Aquarius, change your perspective. You tend to get in your head about things and may be a little stubborn to ask for advice. The new moon in Aries brings with it motivation to try something new or approach a situation from a different angle. Let the momentum of this time help pull you out of that writer’s block or help you stop overthinking that email to your boss. Take action by shaking things up.
Pisces, deepen your gratitude. Take time to look at everything in your life that is good, beautiful, and supportive. Your friends, your job, and the money you have (no matter the amount). By expanding your gratitude, you will draw more of what you love to you. Take action by seeing the magic that already exists in your life.
