Just a day after the spring equinox, there is a boost of additional new energy on March 21st with the new moon in Aries. This new moon in the first sign of the zodiac further propels us to get moving and take action. Whether you want to start a business endeavor, go back to school, or simply seek a fresh start after being closed in during the winter season, this new moon in Aries gives us the drive to be self-governing and self-directed so that we can set out on our own paths with confidence and bravery.
This moon in Aries is especially interesting because it occurs at the critical one degree. It is important that we hone in on the new energy being offered so that we utilize it to move beyond the comfort zones that kept us stuck in the same. We can also expect a boost in direct communication as his new moon aligns with the current transiting Mercury in Aries. This will help us align our feelings represented by the moon with our thoughts and speech as represented by Mercury. One of the major benefits of this Moon-Mercury conjunction in Aries is that we are more likely to be upfront when expressing our emotions so that everyone knows exactly where we stand…even if it is a bit direct and assertive and perhaps even aggressive.
It is important to note that this moon is going to have some shake-ups as it is forming a wide square to Mars in Gemini. Energetically, this shows up as our emotions as represented by the Moon in Aries having a difficult time being expressed through our actions, and Mars in Gemini. While this energy will be temporary, we are encouraged to not jump to conclusions and take actions that are heightened by our fiery emotions at this time.
Fresh New Starts For The Making
With the new Moon in Aries, we are emotionally ready for new beginnings. This lunar energy gives us the drive and motivation to step out on our own courtesy of Aries’ independent and self-reliant nature. If you are the type that usually needs to ask someone else for their perspective before taking a step forward, this new moon in Aries gives you the confidence to rely on yourself to take action.
To make the most out of this energy, we are encouraged to consider exactly how we want to move forward. One of the major aspects of this energy is the tendency to strike out without thinking. With Mercury also being in Aries at this time, this increases the tendency to act without thinking. So, if we really want to make the most of this new moon in Aries, we are encouraged to think of a plan that will keep us focused on our new endeavors so that our actions actually lead us into something new.
Take Charge Of Your Life
One of the benefits of the new moon in Aries, especially since it occurs a day after the spring equinox, is the sense that we can finally take control over our lives. Again, Aries is all about being self-governing and independent, so we aren’t waiting around with this type of energy for anyone to tell us what to do with our lives. If there’s something that we want to get going, this Aries-fueled lunar energy gives us the drive to take action and get things done.
Action is the name of the game at this new moon. If we are not physically doing something to move ahead, we really aren’t taking advantage of all this new moon in Aries is offering. Now is not the time to let fear consume us and keep us from doing the things that we want to do. Emotionally, this moon offers us courageous bold energy that allows us to take personal responsibility for ourselves when it comes to creating the new beginnings that we desire.
Making Calculated Risks
This new Moon in Aries encourages us to go for the gusto even if it means that we have to take risks. This is particularly true for those of us who are more conservative and tend to err on the side of caution. With Aries energy, those hunches and instinctive nudges to move ahead are exactly what we need right now to move into the new. It is important to make sure that the risks we take are calculated and for our benefit. This is important because the heightened energy of the Moon and Mercury in Aries as well as this moon’s ruler, Mars squared to the Aries new moon produces the desire, but not always in a rational way.
Also, because of the self-reliant energy of Aries, we aren’t likely to check our new actions with others just to make sure we aren’t doing too much. So, those seeking to take advantage of the risks of the new moon Aries energy are encouraged to make sure that those risks actually lead to new experiences that are positively forward-moving.
Self-Reliance Is The Key
One of the benefits of this new moon in Aries is that we learn how to be emotionally self-sufficient. There’s something very empowering about knowing that we are capable of doing what we need to do for ourselves. Aries reminds us that we have the capacity to create the beginnings that we desire without having to check in with others. Also, Aries energy is good at focusing on the self so much that if something does go wrong we are likely to hold ourselves responsible instead of blaming others…which is great!
This new moon in Aries offers us great emotional self-sufficiency and inner happiness when we know that we have all that we need to show up for ourselves. The courage and boldness of honoring our own self-sufficiency propel us toward our new paths with drive and ambition.
Be Yourself; It’ll Get You Far
Anyone that has ever had an issue with owning themselves, is definitely going to appreciate his new moon in Aries. Sometimes Aries can get a bad rap for being self-absorbed and selfish. However, if we don’t make time to make ourselves a priority, who will? Because of the direct, bold nature of Aries energy, we don’t need anybody’s permission to look out for ourselves. We are much more willing to stand in the energy of being ourselves…even if other people don’t approve.
With this moon in Aries energy in an assertive manner, the ability to be ourselves is something that feels good when we know that we are showing up as our authentic selves as opposed to some easily compromised personality that is created to make others feel good. Aries energy is also great for those dealing with identifying issues as it is vital in helping us get in touch with who we are and own it without hesitation. In doing so, we will find that we are embraced for being our authentic selves as opposed to putting on façades to connect with others.
It’s time to make the most of this new moon in Aries and get started now! The moon in Aries connects us with the emotional understanding that new beginnings happen if we are willing to take charge of our own lives and stand in the authenticity of ourselves. Here’s to embodying the change agent energy that puts a fire under us with the new Moon in Aries.
