New Moon in Aries

On March 21, 2023, we'll be experiencing a New Moon in Aries. We'll actually experience another New Moon in Aries on April 19th, which will open up an eclipse portal with a solar eclipse, so we'll have the opportunity to revisit this Aries New Moon energy twice in the space of a month.

Aries energy is new life and a fresh perspective. It's beginnings and presence. It's primal, individual needs and advocating for those needs. Aries energy is fresh, vibrant, passionate, spontaneous, and acts largely on instinct. It's the energy of birth and seedlings pushing through the soil into the light of day. It's viewing everything through fresh, unjaded, inexperienced, and utterly fearless eyes.

Now, let's talk about the specifics of a New Moon in Aries, shall we?

Sun: outer-self, external focus

in

Aries: action, initiative, body-orientation, individual identity, self advocacy, doing, pioneering, being fully present in the moment, present-mindedness, passion, intensity

is working as one with

Moon: emotions, inner-self, intuitive focus

also in

Aries: action, initiative, body-orientation, individual identity, self advocacy, doing, pioneering, being fully present in the moment, present-mindedness, passion, intensity

which looks like an opportunity to release what no longer serves you in how you approach action, motivation, initiative, and your own basic needs. It’s also a chance to grow more present, fresh, and courageous through the intentions you set at this time.

During this time, I encourage you to allow yourself to be present with your emotions, no matter how uncomfortable. Feel what you honestly feel. Then practice helping yourself move through the uncomfortable feelings to a clearer, more centered emotional state. Consider pondering how your emotions relate to your identity and what you personally need so that you can express your emotions within your values (ie act and emote in ways that are in alignment with who you really are and what you really want.)
