Moonthly Theme:

ACTION, CONFIDENCE + LEADERSHIP

Aries new moon reflection:

‘I remain highly attuned to my purpose & take active measure towards achieving the goal.’

We say goodbye to one astrological cycle and bring in a new, as we drop through this Aries new moon.

The first of 2 Ram ruled new moons, with the second in April igniting eclipse season.

Aries initiates.

Aries singulates.

Drawing the entire universe from the realms of Pisces who holds all, and squeezing it out through a pinhole of ‘I AM'.

Aries is like the first sound at the beginning of the universe, birthing itself over again.

A force beyond force.

The primordial fire.

Aries welcomes us to a new cycle.

This new moon calls for the seeds of bold action, confidence and leadership in your life.

Squaring Mars, it’s fiery. Full fledged action is not quite ripe yet, but the seeds of inspiration go in now! This is a potent time of realignment and finding balance again.

Make decisions or they are made for you energy.
Take hold of the reigns of your life and just go for it energy.
Fan the internal flames of your inner fire energy.
Review and reset your boundaries energy, the season of testing those is upon us.

What inspires you, what gives you confidence, who are YOU now compared to a year ago?

Transformation is on the horizon and our minds are starting to form ideas around what this might be. It can feel foreign and jarring while still thin-skinned from our Pisces dive, but we build the fire, let it burn, and our energy rises to face a new dawn.

Welcome to a New Astrological Year.

May it be all you desire it to be and more.

New Moon Aries at 0° 49’

Astrologer Colin Bedell says:

Happy New Year! That’s right. On the first day of the Sun in the first zodiac sign, we have our Astrological new year. On the first day of Aries Season, we begin again. What’s particularly compelling about this New Year is on the first day of Aries Season, we have a New Moon in Aries. The last time this happened was March 20th 2004. So as you can see, it’s not that common. Which begs the question; how do we leverage this New Moon powerfully on the first day of the New Year?

What I think of often during an Aries ruled transit is we typically have the following personal development question backwards. We typically ask, “What do I have to have, to do what I want to do, to become who I want to be?” Right? Have, do, then be. Aries says, “Wrong!” Aries reminds us that we have to be a person of character and do the right things in order to have what we want to have. It’s not the having, that makes us do, so we can be. It’s the being, which provides us the foundation for doing, and ultimately the having. Be. Do. Have.

First fashioned by Steven Covey, the be-do-have model is so Aries because Aries is the sign of identity. Of being. It’s also the precondition for rest of the 11 zodiac sign’s self-actualization. It’s not more time, more money that we necessarily need to do and then be what we want. It’s perhaps the disciplined being, the concentrated being, that helps us do and then have. This premise is so radically different from what the world teaches us and I think that’s perhaps why we’re technically receiving 2 New Moons in Aries this month because at the end of Aries Season is the first Solar Eclipses - a supercharged New Moon ! - that we’ll have on the Aries-Libra axis for the next 2.5 years.

So perhaps this New Moon is the beginning of the being. So ask yourself, “Who do I want to be? Confident? Decisive? Generous? Boundaried? Flexible? From there, you can ask yourself, “What do confident people do? What do decisive people do?” And then of course, you’ll gradually living into the having of what confident and decisive people do. It’s a radical shift on our Aries ruled identities that will have powerful effects on your doing and having.

On Thursday, changing signs for the first time since 2008, Pluto will enter communal Aquarius for twenty years. So I also want you to think about who you want to be within a system of mass mutual reliance. How do you want to give? What time, talent and treasure do you want to share? What are you hoping to receive from others? Think about identity and healing and success in a more relational, communal context and then see how Pluto’s monumental entrance in Aquarius furthers these concepts. Happy New Year!

Aries

Identity, Desire, Autonomy, & Freedom

Happy New Year, Aries! The first of two New Moons in your sign is sure to promise one of the most powerful shifts in your identity starting now and lasting for the next two years. Consider all that you’d like to become and name your best case scenario contexts for freedom, joy, aliveness, and all that makes you feel fully vibrantly connected to self and others.

Taurus

Completion, Surrender, Healing & Spiritual Support

Let it go, Taurus! This New Moon in Aries could not be arriving at a better time. Since in a few weeks, the most prosperity and joy inducing planet is about to enter your sign. So you’ll want to identity what interrupts you from stepping into your highest and brightest outcomes and then complete it. Take 100% responsibility for the part(s) you play and then surrender it.

Gemini

Friendship, Activism, Collaborations & Shared Humanity

Friendship is your religion, Gemini! The New Moon in Aries connects you to the community you find the deepest, most meaningful sense of belonging with. You’ll also begin seeing yourself as a leader among your friends so be sure to hold space for their brilliance. Take a sense of responsibility for recognizing and cultivating their potentiality in powerful ways for success.

Cancer

Career, Leadership, Integrity & Discipline

Level up, Cancer! The New Moon in Aries inspires you to boss up professionally in amazing ways. Think about the courage, boundaries, passion, bravery, and resilience required to level up your career. From there, then ask yourself how you can act into the passion, courage, and boundaries that will help you. This New Moon will inspire self-employment and big promotions!

Leo

Wisdom, Publishing, Discovery & Higher Education

Education is a paradox, Leo. The New Moon in Aries points the way to the Dunning-Kruger effect which argues that with learning comes a cognitive bias towards perceived underperforming. Said differently, the smarter we become the more we realize we don’t know. This is a beautiful thing! Let humility and open mindedness guide you to new countries and campuses.

Virgo

Intimacy, Empathy, Sexuality & Transformation

Own your wanting, Virgo! The New Moon in Aries helps you reframe “desire” so that you can begin unapologetically owning your desires. This will inspire you to be motivated less by compliance, responsibility, and need to, have to - but more desire and want to. It’ll be clunky at first but let yourself want for the sake of wanting and see where that takes you.

Libra

Romance, Boundaries, Partnerships & Trust

Their strengths are your challenges, Libra! The New Moon in Aries annoyingly reminds that opposites really do attract. So you’ll be tasked with integrating what “the other” is trying to teach you while reinforcing the proclivities that you have for their vulnerabilities. It’s a both/and, not only but also balance, that you can understand and express brilliantly.

Scorpio

Habits, Systems, Wellbeing & Routine

Take a small step, Scorpio! The New Moon in Aries helps you make a micro adjustment on the mental, emotional, physical, and behavioral to help you increase the quality of your wellbeing. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the enormity of big personal changes so this New Moon wants you to start small. Make one little change towards becoming the person you want to be!

Sagittarius

Self-Disclosure, Charisma, Creativity & Lovability

Grab your bow and arrow, Sag! This New Moon in Aires helps you tell a substantial truth about your hopes, fears, emotions, desires, and goals. You’ll want to hit the target with the clearest, most courageous forms of communication so that all who have the honor of listening to you know exactly where they stand. It’s your time to tell the truth pointedly and compassionately as you see it!

Capricorn

Vulnerability, Home, Family & Emotional Agility

Happy homecoming, Capricorn! The New Moon in Aries wants to help you find home. As not just a place and with people but as a feeling. What does it mean for you to feel at home within yourself? Think about the role of self-acceptance in answering this question and consider what you need to accept about yourself and then communicate to others to find emotional safety.

Aquarius

Curiosity, Observation, Dialogue & Active Listening

Straight talk, Aquarius! This New Moon in Aries helps you find the clearest, most direct, and empathetic forms of communication to avoid misunderstandings. You’ll want to bottom line most of your speech. And take even more responsibility for your mindfulness, cognition, active-listening, and ability to perceive language accurately to expand your relationships in beautiful ways.

Pisces

Finances, Security, Clarity of Values & Pleasure

Ground down, Pisces! The New Moon in Aries helps you clarify and commit to your values so that you can find a sense of safety. You’ll learn how to bend without breaking by identifying what you value and then putting them into practice. There is no finer, more enlightened way to experience inner peace quite like walking your talk and knowing you’re exactly who you say you are.
