Aries new moon reflection:
‘Every possible version of me exists at all times and dimensions.'
Aries New Moon at 27° 28’
Astrologer Anthony Perrotta says:
This year Aries Season has felt so different as Saturn and Neptune were co-present with all of the planets transiting the Cardinal Fire sign. Additionally, we kicked off the Astrological New Year with two Cazimis and now we sit in the smoldering heat of the season before it closes with a New Moon, an all too poetic moment of Aries Season’s desire to begin again.
The first, and maybe most important, thing to note about this New Moon is that it is the first one of the astrological year. It is a road opener, door opener, portal opener. This lunation marks a potent shift for the collective, as we now move forward into new territory. Ask yourself these questions about the last few weeks: What did you start? What has changed? What is opening and closing? Perhaps this New Moon can give you a lens into what these answers are.
As far as New Moons go, they are notorious for initiating; it is very often that they work like master creators and seed planters, but that also means we are put in a position of release. With Chiron close to the New Moon, we are given the opportunity to say goodbye to old versions of ourselves, and hello to new, more authentic ones. Aries asks us to look at themes surrounding our individuality, our ambition, drive, ability to act and assert ourselves, our passions, and our rage. As this New Moon begins a new chapter this year, we are gifted a moment to reflect on our healing journey in the last several years.
The leader of this lunation is Mars, now also in the sign of Aries, home and on fire. Mars will reach out to Saturn, activating the conjunctions we have seen since mid-February. Energy levels are going to move with ebb and flow, but the aim is to focus on consistency. Mars wants speed, but Saturn restrains. This connection is helpful though, so we can find the power to move something along that maybe needs extra attention. Just don’t go too quickly, as you may miss something important. Mars/Saturn conjunctions are all about intentional action and sustainable ways of making ideas come to fruition. It is a good reminder to help things along, but not to force something to work that just isn’t meant to. There is a need to make sure that care and desire are both present before acting in any way.
Mars has also just found itself in a harmonious relationship to Pluto, bringing a further element of willpower to the already revved up landscape of this energy. Pluto can feel intense, dramatic even, as it unearths deep motivation and desire in its power. Mars is energizing the potent nature of Pluto. This connection showcases a deep well of endless strength. Luckily, we can use this to our advantage as we aim to drive ahead and embody the fire that Aries brings. In many ways, this New Moon will be a jumpstart, a push off that we may need. It is time to start moving toward your goals with confidence and care.
Read these for your Rising Sign.
Aries
FIRST HOUSE
Individuality, Motivation, Identity & Focus
Happy New Moon, Aries! It falls in your sign and is the start of an entirely new cycle for you. We are in a different era with Saturn and Neptune co-present in Aries, too. Right now, what you should be looking at is how to nourish yourself.
This lunation falls in your First House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? Doors are opening for you, especially as the recent eclipses have been clearing a path. You may have been trying things out or in search of ways to expand or grow. This lunation will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you and what won’t. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building a new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now.
The Sun and Moon are closely held by Chiron. They are being shown discomfort in the face of growth and healing. It can feel hard to have to bear witness to some harsh truths. But this conjunction is keeping you mindful of your space and where you are putting your energy. Old habits die hard and this is a time when cycles are breaking before your very eyes. Don’t resist the changes that bubble up to the surface, as they are remarkable road openers to a new you… A you that brings you closer to your vision of yourself. Live authentically.
Luckily, Mars and Pluto are both very well-aspected for this lunation. They are granting you opportunities to see through the fog and maintain a broader perspective. Mars leads this lunation and motivates you to act on your hunches and from a place of joy. It helps to promote more autonomy and independence, especially as it adds fire to drive you forward to what you know is best for you. Mars is a destroyer and builder - similar to Saturn, it may be time to let something go. But on the other side, you have so much to gain, too.
Use this New Moon to focus on yourself. Work on discovering new pieces of your identity and releasing parts of you that no longer serve you. Be fueled by your desires and passions, and run with your ideas. Motivation is key. You can make anything you want come to fruition, especially as the doors swing open just for you. Stand in your power. Embrace the spotlight. Own every facet of your being. This is the start of something good!
Taurus
TWELFTH HOUSE
Depth, Respite, Introspection & Intuition
Taurus, take time to rest. Please! We are heading into your season shortly, but first, we have the New Moon that is setting the record straight for you. So, you will have a very full plate in the coming weeks. There is a feeling of being run down, tired, and needing space to recollect yourself. Honestly, you need to listen to that feeling!
This New Moon is perfectly positioned in your Twelfth House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly behind the scenes and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The Twelfth House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it!
Chiron joins up with the Sun and Moon, acting as a catalyst for healing and change. It highlights a need to let go and find some closure on something that you have been holding onto too tightly. The fear of loss is overtaking the need to relinquish control. Sometimes, when we let go, it turns out to be easier than we could have ever imagined. As Chiron sits in your Twelfth House, you are being shown the value of belief and self-trust. Painful, repetitive patterns can be broken down and new, healthier cycles can be born in their place.
Mars and Pluto are in a very harmonious position at this lunation. They collectively bring a sense of awareness around an ending or an area that may need closure in your life. Mars leads this New Moon, and it helps to give you the gusto you need to start bringing something to a close. The endings are not bad. Instead, it feels much like something that you have been meaning to review or reflect on for a while. Take time to consider where you could use some proper closure. Remember that oftentimes, closure is internal more than anything.
Use this New Moon to withdraw a bit where you can. Find more peace in everyday life - including work/life balance. Take time to rest and recharge. Tie up loose ends and close doors that need to be shut. Re-engage with yourself, replenish your energy, and enjoy downtime (by creating it). Listen to your intuition more and record your dreams. This is an opportunity for you to truly let go and open yourself up to something greater.
Gemini
ELEVENTH HOUSE
Community, Dreams, Visions & Hopes
We enter the highly anticipated New Moon in Aries, where you will have endless support. This New Moon is unlike many others we have experienced in the last few years. So many aspects align to make this one a powerhouse with added excitement!
With this lunation hanging out in your Eleventh House, you will be looking at your connections and friends as a way to help you move ahead. You may even just want to catch up with people, feeling a little more social than normal. You are realizing that community is becoming increasingly important to you, and you may be trying to find where you want to align yourself. Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are showing you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic.
Chiron joins in with the Sun and Moon, to highlight a wound you have carried or a healing process you have been undergoing since 2019. It may be around the feeling of being an outcast or misunderstood when in reality many people desire to support and understand you on a very deep level. You could feel a little alienated as you seem to find yourself removed from others in some way. But the ask is to not just find a community, but also build and create the community you desire. You don’t need permission from others to be seen, grant it to yourself and welcome those who want the same thing. Healing for you will happen in connection and relationships now. So, open yourself up to those you love and trust.
Now, Mars and Pluto are very helpful at this lunation. They work well from your social Houses. Those that do support you will feel like magic. Mars leads this lunation and welcomes the chance for you to find power in community and communication - perhaps supporting that new community building. Maybe you need to reconnect with someone or a group you have not spoken to in a while. You may be needed, or they could help you in your time of need. Your value and worth will be re-iterated to you by those you keep close. Don’t be too afraid to ask for help if you need it.
Use this New Moon to call on your community. Ask for support where necessary and seek out new methods of networking. Focus on your friendships and nurture the ones that prove to strengthen you. Look at your goals, your future, your hopes. What do you want out of the next five years? Three years? Who can help you get there? How can you make this happen? These are questions to reflect on - just remember to not let your dreams die. Keep the faith alive.
Cancer
TENTH HOUSE
Legacy, Aspirations, Goals & Recognition
This season has had you working hard! However, there is no shortage of progress with six planets in Aries. Slowness just isn’t in the cards for you right now. Your career life is about to see vast changes and improvements very soon.
This New Moon will bring you to new heights! It falls in your Tenth House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life. You are becoming more aware of your direction and what you want. Nothing you’ve been doing has been in vain. The right people are taking notice. If you do change jobs or careers, you may find that the work you want to do will be something completely different or distinct. Perhaps that is the change you want, as well! Alternatively, some of you may make discoveries about your passions that drive you into a new field or up the ladder into a new role/position. Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
The Sun and Moon join with Chiron. This pushes you to the edges of your comfort in visibility. You could be gaining some attention, for better or for worse, and are grappling with this newfound sense of being seen. There is discomfort here. Maybe you are afraid of being incorrectly perceived. However, this leads to greater recognition of your work and efforts, which does work in your favor overall. Even if the impostor syndrome settles in, you are to break the cycles that keep you feeling small. You are a leader and you don’t need anyone else’s permission for your success but your own. If you have been trying to “uplevel” in any way, it is all coming to fruition now. Use this time to plant those seeds that you want to see grow in terms of your work, career, image, and legacy.
Mars and Pluto also work well together from your Eighth and Tenth Houses. It seems that others may not fully see what you are working through, but there is a strong sense of motivation to make a dream come to fruition. Mars leads this lunation, and it finishes its transit through Aries. You could find out some really good financial or career-related news in the weeks following this New Moon. Alternatively, you could see yourself rethinking how to spend your time and resources. This may require some self-reflection and re-imagining of what those resources even mean to you.
Use this New Moon to focus on your career and your life direction. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Be noticed and seek opportunities that make you more visible. Call the shots and show your leadership qualities. Strive for new goals and scale ever-higher mountains. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and relish in your successes. See the power within you and let that be what pushes you into the next phase of your life. You are moving toward such great things.
Leo
NINTH HOUSE
Exploration, Progress, Expansion & Philosophy
You are reaching new heights! You have recently taken a leap of faith, and you know that there is no way you can go back now! This New Moon, one that opens doors of opportunity and creates possibility - a portal into something new. For you, in particular, you will see that obstacles that were once present begin to dissipate. Perhaps this is a change of perspective or maybe roads starting to open for you.
With this New Moon in your Ninth House, you are actively growing and trying new things! You are taking the experience you have had and applying it future-forward. Now is a time to be bold and optimistic about the journey that lies ahead. The Moon will make sure that you are bold in your approach while remaining open to the beautiful changes that life can bring! Flexible structures. Here, you will see that your world is shifting. The Ninth House is about limitless potential. You realize the world truly is your oyster in this realm, and you can make what you want out of it. You will likely see your goals more clearly than you have in a long time and thus change your priorities in achieving them. Nothing is too far out of reach. All it takes is a little faith.
Chiron is sitting close to the Sun and Moon, perhaps highlighting some doubts you are carrying right now. You could be faced with wanting/needing to speak your truth but feeling limited in your ability to do so. Know that truth will set you free, even if conflict comes with it. You may also want to try do things in a new way and are pushed against the status quo…it may be time to dissolve the traditions of the past to support new structures in the future. Know that as you reach the edges of what you believe to be possible for yourself, new ones will be formed, only opening up more and more. The potential is limitless for you if you allow it to be.
Mars and Pluto are also quite helpful at this New Moon, luckily. They bring harmonious energy to the Moon from your Seventh and Ninth Houses. There is a possibility of you needing to take a risk, or feeling motivated to leave an unhealthy dynamic. Mars leads this New Moon and tells you to seek adventure - acting from a place of seeing the big picture. Once you take a leap of faith, you may gain the clarity and closure you seek. Maybe part of that leap of faith is tying up that loose end and having the courage to do so.
Use this New Moon to explore new places - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Challenge your perspective, open your mind, and reach beyond current limitations. Seek help to achieve your goals and put yourself out there to gain notoriety. There is so much happening around you. If you feel confused, take a step back and pull yourself out of the details. See the big picture and soon, you will know which path to take.
Virgo
EIGHTH HOUSE
Transformation, Renewal, Intimacy & Healing
You have been taught lessons but also gifted opportunities around value, worth, and shared resources. As we go through this New Moon, you will see that a large part of the last few weeks has been to provide a sense of closure and conflict resolution. New pathways that you had not expected will open up.
The New Moon in your Eighth House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure - that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This New Moon may also bring about a transformation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence - a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
The Sun and Moon will join up with Chiron, highlighting a healing journey you have been on since 2019. It seems that roots of your exploration of personal power will deepen. You may be confronted with some inner shadows at this time, as Chiron brings up what you once thought was worked through or healed. This New Moon serves as a chance to put something to rest once and for all, but it may be uncomfortable. You will be stretched to your limits when it comes to intimacy and sharing with others, allow trust and vulnerability to sit as guiding lights for you now. The cycles you break will be profound and release a weight off of your shoulders.
Luckily, Mars and Pluto are also very helpful at this New Moon. They bring a willingness to find some quiet. You may actively decide to do something that betters your inner-world or break a specific habit that no longer serves you. Mars leads this lunation, and it could even make you feel like you need to slow down, sewing things up behind the scenes, especially as it connects with Saturn. Don’t push yourself too hard right now. Your time for fun is coming soon!
Use this New Moon to reflect on your growth and how you have transformed in the last year. Seek new resources. Get intimate with a partner or close relationship - even yourself. Focus on the power you hold personally, finding new ways of sharing who you are. Explore your depths, take hold of your fears, and no longer be held back by cyclic patterns that keep you trapped. This is about seeing new pathways that had once been hidden from view. You hold the keys.
Libra
SEVENTH HOUSE
Connections, Commitments, Collaborations & Balanc
As we enter the energy of this New Moon, you may see your life change in ways you have not expected. Some of you may take on more autonomy and independence and/or change how you engage in your relationships. Others will see growth opportunities and significant relationships strengthen. Whatever it is, there has been a flowing exchange of energy that will lead to massive personal growth.
Now, the New Moon enters your Seventh House. You will likely see dynamics shift between you and someone you are close with. Some of you may dissolve broken or irreparable relationships, while others will get closer - forming impenetrable bonds. You are seeing the value in the give and take and understanding your boundaries in a new way. If you are seeking out a new relationship, you will likely find it. Alternatively, the relationship you’re working on could be one with yourself. Sometimes we think that we need to find “wholeness” through others and forget that we are whole on our own. So, consider this New Moon an exploration of what you need, deserve, and desire. Understanding your boundaries and seeing how you fit into the picture will be imperative. With the Moon in your polarity, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can be very invigorating but scary. Receptivity is huge now.
The Sun and Moon move close to Chiron at this time, so old thought patterns and wounds in relationships may surface. You could feel like you are not being seen or heard now, but also you may be the one not hearing or seeing others, too. It always goes both ways with the Seventh House. Chiron will bring up feelings you have been stewing on or sitting with. As you sit in these feelings, you have to ask yourself if these reflect your current situation or something that is long gone now. One of the best things you can do now is share with those you are closest to and be open/honest. Conflict resolution will be big for you, as you navigate speaking your truth…and listening to others’ truths, too. Consider where you have given up too much, and where you have not been receptive enough. It is time to balance things out again because it seems that the scales are tipped.
Mars and Pluto are also very helpful at this lunation, luckily. They are showing you a level of support that is unmatched from your Seventh House, too. So as Chiron may bring up triggers, there is another partner, close friend, or relationship in your life is giving you some much-needed peace and clarity too. Mars leads this lunation, so there could be some positive influences from your inner circle or friend group. Perhaps someone in your life will come in and support you, taking the lead without a word - especially if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed or in need of a break. Lean into this and allow them to show up for you. Alternatively, ask for help - people will show up in droves.
Use this New Moon to focus on your boundaries. Understand the roles that you play in others’ lives and what they play in yours. See where you can receive and know what you have to give. Form new relationships and bury old ones that don’t support you. Seek out ways to create a better relationship with yourself above all else. Nothing will ever be as solid as the love you can give to yourself.
Scorpio
SIXTH HOUSE
Routines, Rituals, Well-being & Organization
Knowing your limits can be important. This month you are tasked with closing doors, learning to be better to your body, and focusing on the things in your immediate present. You have been taught the value of your needs and the difference between service/sacrifice. We can’t save everyone or really anyone at all.
This New Moon falls in your Sixth House. Here, you are told to prioritize well-being more. Your health, work, daily life, and routines all fall in this area of your chart. You may have seen major changes in this more mundane setting, yet you may not have realized how impactful the small shifts have been. This New Moon opens a door of opportunity for you (or even several), where you can take more risks with work, find better solutions for your health, and retake control of your life. Consider this a chance to organize the chaos. You are settling into new routines, so be mindful of what you begin. You can kick old habits and start new exercise regimens. The call is to bring your physical self to the forefront. Alternatively, some of you may see the New Moon manifest through your work environment with co-workers, your job tasks, or even the job itself. If your job is removed, then know that something similar is coming along. If not, then perhaps there are ways to update your work/life balance.
The Sun and Moon will be close in an embrace to Chiron, the wounded healer. It brings to the forefront things you have been dealing with since 2019, especially in regard to your health and well-being. If you have been actively avoiding tackling a health issue, you will have no choice but to deal with it now. Alternatively, you could be feeling overworked, overwhelmed, or like your routines have been thrown off. This lack of control is creating a harmful internal dynamic, where you may be trying to control what you can since other things feel chaotic. Just be careful here. Chiron is seeking some surrender and asking that you make peace - finding ways to bring more healing and rest into your daily life.
Luckily, Mars and Pluto are well-aspected to one another. This can ease any tension. The best thing you can do is focus on the changes you can make in the immediate - here and now. Mars, the leader of this lunation, is motivating you to take back your agency. Perhaps there are necessary internal conflicts that need to be addressed. Whatever it is, you will do it with great energy. As work-related matters come up, don’t turn a blind eye. Mars is definitely ensuring that you are working your way into being noticed. Something is coming to a close, but a new beginning is right around the corner. Take time to reflect on how far you’ve come and your visions for the future.
Use this New Moon to bring everything together. See how the small things in your life impact everything else. Pay attention to your body and work on making amends with how you may have abused it in the past. Work on getting healthier - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Look for opportunities for growth in your work, daily life, and routines. Be flexible. See that perfection is not the goal - the process teaches us more than the outcome. Work on taking care of yourself.
Sagittarius
FIFTH HOUSE
Joy, Creativity, Expression & Pleasure
It is time to restore your sense of optimism! This New Moon comes in to remind you that life can be fun and playful! Over the next few weeks and months, you will learn the value of personal joy and collective happiness. Now, as this New Moon ushers in a new pathway, you can walk forward in a more focused manner.
The New Moon will highlight the area of your chart that rules play, joy, happiness, pleasure, love, and creation. This is about leading with your heart, listening to that inner child, and making time for more fun in your life. This is very welcomed. This New Moon reminds us that life is something to experience and celebrate. You can manifest your heart’s desires into reality, simply by taking more risks on yourself. What makes you happy? What do you love? This is a time to explore new ways to play and seek out pleasure. Let loose. Because this is a place of creation, some of you may be creating something entirely new: a project, art, music, relationship, or even the conception of a child. Alternatively, consider this New Moon a chance for you to sit in the spotlight a bit. It is ok to be recognized for your efforts and to celebrate your successes.
Chiron does take a big role at this New Moon, since it sits so close to the Sun and Moon. This will highlight any fears you may have around seeking joy or pleasure - perhaps a need to work with your inner child, especially if it is starved. Chiron will have you confront the limits you put on yourself and how you may shy away from taking credit for your creations. The discomfort can come from visibility and knowing how to celebrate yourself, but know that as you allow yourself to be seen, you find the love and validation you truly want. Also, don’t let others take your joy away from you. That is yours and it is time to reclaim it.
Now, Mars and Pluto are also well-aligned at this lunation. They call on you to communicate what you need and find people who share your interests. Mars leads this New Moon and tells you to focus more on building joy in the day-to-day. It invites you to find creative solutions and take a risk for yourself. Some of you could find some much-needed excitement in exploring new horizons and being part of something you are passionate about. Additionally, maybe it is time to take some old ideas off the back burner. You are invited to comb through the past and find inspiration not far from home.
Use this New Moon to find new ways to have fun. Follow your heart more and listen to your inner child. Seek new ways to engage in pleasure and creativity. Let loose. If you are looking to conceive (a child, a project or anything), let this New Moon be the thing that pushes you to start or get more focused on it. Anything that pulls at your heart will be favored. So really get in touch with what you desire most.
Capricorn
FOURTH HOUSE
Roots, Foundations, Family & Privacy
You will see major changes to your internal and external worlds. With the New Moon falling in a fellow Cardinal sign (Aries), it will be impacting your Fourth House. After what feels like a cycle of constant evolution and change - you can now start a new phase in your home life.
The Fourth House rules family, home, roots, and your emotional foundations. Here, the New Moon will turn your attention to these areas. Perhaps you are looking to do some work around the house - renovations or redecorating. Maybe you are just on a house hunt overall, looking for new places to call home. Some of you may be finding more quiet time or family time, while seeking solitude after a busy few months. Whatever it is, you are bringing it all back to your center. Home is where the heart is. Family could take a central focus as there may be changing dynamics in this area of your life. You will be redefining what family truly is, or what it means to you. You may be putting down stronger roots and really focusing on your emotional well-being. This New Moon tells you all of that work isn’t for nothing. You can rejoice in the power you may call back and honor the peace you will create.
The Sun and Moon meet up with Chiron, bringing up some fears or disagreements with family members at this time. Home can be tricky for you, and maybe the lack of comfort you have felt in the past will inspire changes to your present and future situations with home/family. The concept of home can be healing, and working with your idea of it (along with a reimagination of your idea of family) can yield profound results for you. If old generational patterns are feeling like stuck on repeat, you can wash your hands of it now. But it requires seeing things for what they are, not what you want them to be. Healing comes through change, not the status quo. Alternatively, Chiron will help you confront what safety may feel like in your body and life. This sense of safety is entirely personal, so find what it feels like to you and hold it closely. You deserve safety as much as anyone else.
Mars and Pluto are well aligned at this lunation. They sit in your Second and Fourth Houses, inviting you to take time to rest and slow down. Perhaps you have been on the go in some way. Mars leads this lunation, and it helps to bring motivation to you in terms of your healing. Avoid burnout by taking those moments of respite where you can. Knowing how to get off the merry-go-round is important. What you inherit isn’t always yours to keep. Sometimes we can alchemize that into something else, something useful and joyful.
Use this New Moon to settle in and come back to center. Focus on your roots and your family. Find security in your emotional foundations and create a sanctuary for yourself. Find peace in the quiet. Work on things around the house and spruce up your space. If you want to move, this New Moon could give you the boost you need to find the right place! It is all coming together now.
Aquarius
THIRD HOUSE
Perspective, Communication, Insights & Reception
Your head is filled with so many great ideas! This New Moon is one that creates possibility - a doorway into something new. For you, you may find yourself faced with needing to use your voice more - perhaps being flexible in ways that you had not been before.
The New Moon falls in your Third House where you are tasked to learn, adapt, and integrate. This is about how you communicate, not only what you are saying - but also what you are hearing. Part of shifting your perspective comes through dialogue and the conversations that you have with others. Your voice is your power. Now, it is time to learn how to use it. Through the Third House, we learn to express ourselves and say what is on our minds. Sharing is an integral part of your personal exploration - and how you choose to share is important. There can be a feeling of people inundating you with messages around the New Moon. Perhaps you may hear news that you have been waiting for! You can start a new journey for yourself by applying the skills you have in new ways. Your local community will figure strongly as well, especially those close to you. They are here to uplift you and support you, but they won’t know what you need unless you tell them. Asking for help isn’t weak - especially if it is meant to help you grow.
Chiron is showing up as a superstar at this lunation, as the Sun and Moon join closely with this asteroid. Chiron is the wounded healer, and in your Third House, it is breaking down the fears or limitations you have in using your voice. Perhaps you have felt that your ideas aren’t enough or that you may not be able to communicate effectively. Ask yourself this: are those patterns or wounds based on others’ perceptions or your own? You could also be confronted with some friendships that need to be re-evaluated now. Chiron speaks on the ways in which we are unheard and misunderstood in these relationships. You don’t have to continue engaging with people who doubt you, especially if it creates more doubt within you, too. Break the patterns of feeling obligated to friendships, and work on speaking your truth now.
Luckily, Mars and Pluto are very helpful at this lunation. They gift you the power and the ability to say exactly what you need. Perfectly timed for the healing moments that Chiron is calling on. Mars leads this lunation and reminds you that sharing with those close to you can be empowering. Some relationships will be motivating for you, especially those that are close like a partnership. Information could come to you suddenly around this lunation, as well - listen and digest first before acting.
Use this New Moon to speak your magic into the world. Communication is key, and your words hold more power than they have in a long time. Don’t be afraid to tell others what you are thinking, but also be open to what they have to say. Create important dialogue and have those tough conversations. Be flexible and adapt to the ever-changing tides in life. You are being asked to integrate your experiences and open yourself up to new possibilities.
Pisces
SECOND HOUSE
Values, Worth, Resources & Reliance
We are now at the end of Aries season, and the attention remains on your stability. We are entering a pivotal time as new doors of opportunity open for you. So, turn your attention to planting what you can, if you can - especially at this New Moon.
This New Moon is in your Second House, so your focus can be turned toward resources. Are you being valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion, or change to your financial picture. Use this New Moon to push that forward for you. The Moon is bold in Aries, so it is working to showcase your pioneering spirit! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. A major theme will be personal value. You are asked to own every facet of your talents and your experience. Notice what comes easy, what feels natural - this is where you will be most abundant. You don’t need to work so hard to achieve the success you desire. You are inherently worthy.
Your values and worthiness may be challenged now, too. Especially as Chiron is close to the New Moon. You could find that you are re-evaluating what is important to you and how you embody what you believe. Chiron speaks to the wounds we carry around stability, resources, and self-worth. Your confidence is something you have been working on since 2019. As this New Moon culminates, you will be pushed out of your comfort zone to take up space. You are asked to witness your growth and how worthy you truly are! People notice qualities in you that you now need to see in yourself. So, your cycles of self-sabotage must come to an end to actually stand in your own power. You are more than you give yourself credit for.
Luckily, Mars and Pluto are both very helpful to one another at this lunation. They work from your Twelfth and Second Houses to give a gusto of motivation to your resources and spiritual life. Mars leads this lunation, and it finds that you could be bringing in a new job, a form of work, new resources, or even a new client. You may find that you are willing to tackle the details or small mundane tasks you may have put off. You can also leverage a natural talent you have more readily. Don’t let yourself devalue your worth.
Use this New Moon to focus on the ground you stand on. What do you value? When was the last time you showed yourself respect? Seek out ways to show yourself that you can rely on yourself. Build a greater space for personal security and understand the value of owning every aspect of your own humanity. Find new resources and open up doors for working through financial stress and abundance. There’s no scarcity in the world you have created for yourself now.
