Re-igniting The Fire.
The New Moon is at 11º Aries on April 1st at 2:24 AM ET. As we throw ourselves into Aries Season, we are asked to ignite the spark or sustain the fire! The New Moon during Aries Season will always fall in Aries itself, signifying the start of a whole new cycle entirely. New Moons are a time for planting seeds and new endeavors, and when it is in Aries, it is the essence of fresh beginnings. Aries is bold, quick, and powerful. We charge ahead with confidence and strength. Take that risk. Enter new territory. This New Moon is exceptionally potent as it meets with Mercury and Chiron.
With a stellium in Aries, this is good for matters that need to be handled and resolved definitively. This could be a call to listen to your instincts and not lose faith in an idea or dream. This is important, as intentional action is a theme here with Mars conjunct Saturn. Mars is the leader of this New Moon, adding fuel to the fire (in a good way), and it’s in perfect harmony with Saturn, grounding our movements. Even when we want to act, we may be best served if we do so mindfully.
Thought meets action now; just make sure you’ve thought everything through before jumping in with both feet. Mercury is conjunct with this New Moon, bringing clarity of thought. Communication is potent, and thoughtfulness reigns. Saturn's influence over this New Moon may be the right signal to approach matters with a level head and consider long-term influences. Like Mars, Venus also meets with Saturn. Putting our desires and our hearts into check. When have we gone too far? What needs more attention? What is actually valuable to you? What truly motivates you?
As Chiron is cazimi at this lunation, we have no choice but to turn our attention to any matter in our life that needs tending. Here, we are told to focus on how we have emerged from and attended to any wounds, uncertainties, doubts, and limitations. Ultimately, we hold the flame in the palms of our hands. We get to decide how hot and fast we burn, and when we lose our fire, we are still left with ash. Out of that ash, we are born again, left renewed and refreshed.
Baptized by fire. This is only just the beginning.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 7º to 15º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
1st House | Drive
The New Moon comes in with a rush of energy for you, Aries! It will highlight your 1st house, placing emphasis on the self. Here we see you are ready to start moving forward in your life. You worked the last year to get to where you are, and now you’ve crossed the finish line. This is a new beginning in every sense of the phrase.
This New Moon is important as it marks a time where you can reinvent yourself if you would like. This is all about what you want in life and doing what makes you happy! This is about rejuvenation, reclamation, and recognition! The light is shining brilliantly on you. This is about not just telling people who you are– but also showing them. The New Moon you have been waiting for is here! This is all about you and your desires, wants, needs, and aspirations. Generally, only one New Moon occurs in your sign a year. So, remember that this is an important lunation for you. Truly, whatever you want to start or get off the ground can be done!
The Sun, Moon, Chiron, and Mercury are all stacked up in your sign. Together, they emphasize the importance of your own autonomy and your desires. Chiron may expose fears or wounds around your independence or identity. Mercury lends a helping hand to bring awareness and communication through the process of working with Chiron. This is not a time to seek external validation–– instead, we empower ourselves through self-understanding.
Mars, the leader of this New Moon, sits close to Saturn to bring solidity to your community, your connections, and how you show up in this world. You may have a critical decision to make regarding your friends or network. Perhaps you are asked to apply the things you have learned over the past few years. Mars and Saturn may have you working toward something bigger than yourself or finding where you can be most seen or can be your most authentic self. Due to Saturn’s influence, things may feel a bit heavy, but don’t lose sight of the big picture! A dream can be actualized, but it may require you to rethink how to achieve it.
Use this New Moon to focus on motivations. Create better boundaries. Try to seek ways to get re-inspired and focus on what drives you. See the big picture and know that anything is attainable. This New Moon is a guiding light, asking you to take control of all the potential at your fingertips.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
12th House | Withdraw
Taurus, this New Moon will have you prepping for your next step. There are personal new beginnings on the horizon, but this New Moon will have your eyes on tying up loose ends as it transits your 12th House. You will turn your attention toward rest, slowing down, and finishing up a project.
Now is a time for rest. We are in a phase just before your astrological new year begins, and you are being called to reflect and finish. It seems like so much has been culminating over the last year, and you are finally given an opportunity to come to terms with all of the shifts, changes, losses, and evolutions. The 12th House is a place of processing: emotionally, spiritually, karmically. But also because it is the last House, it is also a place of release, letting go and moving on. You are abandoning the old, outdated, and time-sucking parts of your life. In their space, you are welcoming more room for rest, understanding, and grace. You could be reconnecting with yourself on a spiritual level or maybe just working on something behind the scenes that you are not quite ready to share with anyone yet. That is ok. Revel in your secret and hold it close for now.
We host a stellium of planets in Aries, especially as the Sun and Moon align with Chiron. Here, you may be reminded of past wounds or personal shadows that need to be addressed. Alternatively, it could be a little self-doubt as you have been making radical changes in the last few years (and even now as the eclipse axis is in your sign). Mercury is here to help, though, as it brings the ability to effectively communicate these feelings with those close to you. Perhaps a mindset may need to shift a bit. There is a call to find space to surrender more and let some control go.
Mars leads this lunation, sitting at the top of your chart. You are busy, visible, and you are being seen by all the right people. It aligns with Saturn bringing in important moves in subtle ways. The things that transpire over the next few weeks are setting the tone for the career or life shifts that will unfold. Saturn has allowed you to put in the work, and now Mars is ready to get things going. You could be asked to step up into a leadership position or a higher role in the coming weeks or months. Be sure that you are ready, willing, or wanting to take that on.
Use this New Moon to tend to your heart and soul. Finish up things behind the scenes and hold the simple joys closely for now. Reckon with the past and bring an end to anything that has been draining to you. Now is your opportunity to be of service to yourself. Let go, release and listen.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
11th House | Hope
Over the last few weeks, one thing has become abundantly clear to you — community is all around you. It seems you have spent a lot of time during Pisces Season working on your career, your direction in life, or even just putting yourself out there more. Now with the shift into Aries Season, you are finding the importance of reaching out and asking for help. It seems that community, networks, and friends are becoming the core of your world.
This could be a busier time of year for you, as people are excited to reach out and connect with you. Keep your schedule clear for unexpected invitations that may pop up! This New Moon settles beautifully in your 11th House, and your mind will be on those you surround yourself with and perhaps even your big picture dreams. You are now in a pivotal place to make present changes that impact your future in the long term.
The Moon and Sun will align with Chiron and Mercury in this area of your chart, perhaps also opening up old wounds or hang-ups that you may have around asking for help or the idea of support. You could be asked to challenge how you see community or even your vision of your future. Ultimately, however, Mercury is there as a support. Ask, and you shall receive — or so it seems. Mercury grants the ability to just speak up and use the power of your voice in ways you may have forgotten.
Mars leads this lunation, where it sits joyfully in your 9th House. It has been giving you the motivation to grow, try, expand, and quest! It will hang out close to Saturn around this New Moon, bringing more concrete value to your ideas or desires. Saturn is teaching you that you know more than you lead on. You are in a position of mastering a skill or self-education. Own how far you have come at this moment. There is so much for you to be proud of.
Use this New Moon to find support where you need it and maybe show up for others. Understand that you have a strong community and network around you that wants to see you succeed. Lean on your friends and stay flexible with where you are headed. Surprises are likely, but they will excite you in the best ways!
Cancer & cancer Rising
10th House | Ambition
Today is the day for you to take a major step forward toward your goals. After a month of growth and understanding that anything is possible, you now have your eyes set on what is realistically tangible.
This New Moon falls in your 10th House, bringing your attention to your career, direction and goals. You are getting noticed by those in higher positions, and they see the work you are doing– and you are impressing them. Watch how you carry yourself and how much you take on, because it seems that you will be given more responsibility soon. Promotions, job changes, or even career advancements are likely to happen soon. You could start a big project that will change where you are headed in your work overall. Additionally, this could be an opportunity for you to redefine what success means to you! Maybe something isn’t lining up, and you are being asked to refresh, restart, or recognize what is leaving you feeling unsure.
All of this is especially true as the Sun and Moon align with Chiron at this lunation. Chiron is the wounded healer. With it at the top of your chart, you may need to reckon with burnout, exhaustion, perception, validation, and/or self-doubt around work and your efforts. You may need to deal with how you are being seen publicly or witnessed in new ways. This can also challenge your feelings of comfort. Mercury, luckily, is helpful and can give you the words to pierce through those doubts. Mercury’s job is to help navigate this situation lightly and with grace. Dialogue is going to be very important now. So who are you talking to? And what are you saying?
Mars will lead this lunation from your 8th House. It will connect with Saturn, where you are asked to put action behind the things you have learned recently. There may be intimate conversations or focuses on how you are healing, growing, releasing, or sharing. Dealing with connection and how you relate to others is vital. Saturn will bring reward when you are willing to face the fears that sit in the back of your mind.
Use this New Moon to put your career or work into focus. Make moves where it is necessary and allow yourself to be seen. Understand how much of your energy you are giving to your job. Ensure that credit is given where it is due and plan ahead for your goals. Keep close contact with those in powerful positions. Pay attention to how burnout may manifest for you.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
9th House | Opportunity
Leo, Pisces Season was heavier for you. You were caught up in the emotions of it all — even if you weren’t showing it to anyone. It seems that you were doing some healing behind the scenes and dealing with some shadows. Now with Aries Season in full swing, that changes. You now have eyes on your growth as a result of all the work you have been doing.
This New Moon comes at a perfect time to remind you that anything is possible if you are willing to try. In life, certain risks need to be taken occasionally –– and now you are given a chance to take those risks. This lunation will fall in your 9th House, putting education, growth, spirituality, philosophy, and big picture thinking as the central components in your life. You can no longer concern yourself with what was or who is. You have to ignore what others are trying to do and remain focused on the goal. What are you working toward? What are you dreaming of? Take the world by storm by taking that leap of faith. Reimagine what possibilities lie ahead of you.
Of course, this is all easier said than done. The Sun and Moon align with Chiron in this area of your chart. So there are wounds around how you are making progress or your next steps that may need to be worked through. Have you lost faith in yourself? Are you unsure of what tomorrow will bring you? Mercury is helpful and can bring a bit of clarity to this. You may need to talk things out more or share how you feel or what you think. There is validation in being heard now, more than ever.
Mars leads this lunation from your 7th House. There is proper motivation around your one-on-one relationships. They may inspire you and keep you afloat. It seems that you are willing to put in the work to make a partnership (business, romantic, platonic, etc.) thrive. This is especially true as Mars closes in on Saturn. Relationships, in general, have been a big learning or growth point for you. Now, you have to put those lessons to the test. How are you showing up for others, and how are you letting them do the same for you? Don’t be too prideful to ask for help.
Use this New Moon to continue your growth. Find ways to expand your horizons and bring change into your life. Open yourself up to new experiences. Seek to open your worldview and take risks where necessary. You are being asked to learn more, quest more, see more.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
8th House | Intimacy
Relationships and others were in full focus for you the last few weeks, and now we dig a little deeper. We search for meaning in them and build stronger intimacy with others. Intimacy is a word that stands out, among many others. You are establishing trust in ways you have not before, and part of this brings you to open up a bit more.
This New Moon falls in your 8th House, so you are journeying through the shadow. You are willing to confront your fears that keep you from growth. You may be more willing to seek counsel. That idea of transformation comes through your ability to embrace what you may have long ignored. Now, you can’t unsee things. You are finding your power within and your own innate form of magic. You could be exploring your inherited traits from family or past experiences. You are unpacking and sifting through it all. This comes as a way to help you with reconciliation. You are making peace with what was. Lastly, you could be told to share more — share your resources, yourself, your vulnerabilities. The 8th House has a financial component, so you could also be reflecting on your doubts.
Feelings around vulnerability need to be reconciled right now. The Sun and Moon align with Chiron, opening up old triggers or wounds you have tried to bury deep within you. However, they can’t hide anymore. You are called to deal with impostor syndrome, and understand the depth of your own value. Luckily, Mercury is helpful to this and allows you to put words to things you have been feeling for a long time. This is about breaking cycles and being able to get more intimate with yourself and others.
Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, is in your 6th House. So, you could find yourself really busy with work or projects in general. Life is moving quickly around you, and you may feel motivated to complete something. However, Saturn is closely aligned to Mars, calling you to slow down slightly. There is an intentionality and mindfulness that must come with your actions. Saturn wants to make sure you are covering all the details before you keep trucking along. You could hit a wall or a delay now. Don’t let that stop you in your tracks. Be resourceful or ask for assistance.
Use this New Moon to work on your inner self. Focus on your shadows, fears, and setbacks. Explore alternative routes for income and financial opportunities. Keep an open mind and shed old layers. You are the phoenix. You are in a place of power like you have not been in quite some time. This is the dawning of a new beginning for you.
Libra & Libra Rising
7th House | Unity
Aries Season brings up the idea of duality and polarity. Aries is your opposite sign, a sense of completion–– where you connect the body with spirit, service with intent, and boundaries with compassion. Since we entered this time of the year, you may have been focusing quite a bit on the others in your life.
This New Moon reinforces that as it highlights your 7th House of others, partnerships, and close one-on-one relationships. The important thing to remember– this isn’t always romantic. You seem to be negotiating with someone, figuring out your role with them, and establishing your boundaries. This is healthy, especially when it comes to those relationships that have been draining us. There may be conversations needed, but they work to your benefit. What you must consider is how to compromise and find the middle ground. You can’t let other people take control of your life, but you also have to know your limits.
Old relationship problems or insecurities could surface around this lunation. This is mostly because Chiron comes in conjunction with the Sun and Moon. We are brought to a place where we need to realize what holds us back from receiving what we need. Maybe you are perpetuating old wounds or need to get to the root of any inadequate feelings. Mercury is helpful, however. So it seems that conversations can be stimulating and exciting. In particular, the conversations you create with people you trust, including your partner(s).
Mars leads this lunation from your 5th House. It has been trying to let you lighten up a bit and have more fun. It has been driving more passion into your life and welcoming space for you to lean into pleasure. It is moving toward an alignment with Saturn that will help you find a routine or foundation in the areas of love, joy, creativity, children, and overall fun. Maybe this is about literally just making time for what you enjoy. Calling back your power is part of this notion.
Use this New Moon to connect with people in your life. Ask for help when you need it and help others where they may fall short. Understand the art of compromise and know how to negotiate. You will be surprised with how much you are supported when you finally act on your ideas– instead of just letting them swim in your mind.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
6th House | Integration
Aries Season has come in with the need to “get to work.” This time of year puts your focus on your health, body, routines, and daily work/life balance. And lately, you have been battling a lot of this — are you treating yourself well enough? Have you been ignoring your needs?
This New Moon in Aries will ask for order. But we can’t forget that order and structure can be flexible. That the changes we make and the refinement we undergo will inevitably shift, grow and evolve. So, don’t get too rigid or stuck on something. Instead, take steps to bring better routines into your life. You could be looking to make updates to your job, impact your lifestyle habits, or shake up the monotony. Pets can come to focus, as can the mundane aspects of the everyday. This is all about being grounded in what is happening in the present. Work/Life balance is a major theme for you, especially as you are feeling particularly busy. The simplest changes can have the greatest impact right now.
The Sun and Moon align with Chiron at this lunation, bringing up some old wounds or triggers. This could be centered on innate perfectionism, personal criticisms, or even the feeling of enoughness. There may even be a lingering health component that arises around this time. Luckily, Mercury is helpful to Chiron at this New Moon. It shows you how conversations can be healing, especially in relation to how you produce, live, cultivate, and solidify. There is a feeling that you need to rethink your output level and consider a pace that is more aligned with what you need.
Mars is the leader of this lunation. It sits in your 4th House, creating some activity on the Homefront. You could be undergoing a home renovation or even moving. Alternatively, you could be working through some tensions with family or just feeling generally busy with home-related matters. Mars is working toward a connection with Saturn, and here are asked to slow down and focus a bit more. Saturn is grounding you and helping you make long-term commitments or impacts to your home or family. This may require a level of integration — integrating what you have learned in the last few years. Take time to care for your core, your roots, and what sits inside of you most of all. Give your heart, home, and family a little extra attention now.
Use this New Moon to bring a refresh to your daily routines. You can make great headway with work and important changes that will be a catalyst for your future success. Take control of your health and start building better habits in your life. Integrate more of a work/life balance. Face the feelings you have of being enough and know you are and so much more.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
5th House | Creation
You are finally making time to come back to what brings you joy. The last few weeks have been heavy for you– as you have been trudging through the trenches of Pisces Season, creating squares and obstacles all along the way. Yet major points of growth, especially on the family/home front.
Now that it is Aries Season, the energy shifts for you. You are coming into your own and understanding that you can shed the weight you have been bearing. The New Moon really creates opportunities for you. Opportunity for expression, joy, happiness, creativity, children, and fun. Yes! That is right, you get to make time for what you find fun! Your 5th House is being highlighted, and you need to come back to how you can honor your heart and your inner child. You have been holding onto too much lately. Let loose, let go, let the good times roll in! Now is your chance to re-engage with whatever your heart desires. This is a discovery of pleasure in every way.
Of course, not all things are as they seem. The Sun and Moon align with Chiron bringing up old wounds or conversations of the past. There could be fears or vulnerabilities around being seen, in the ways you express yourself, or possibly in how you allow yourself to experience pleasure. There could even be childhood triggers that may arise. Alternatively, if you are looking to have kids, you may have some things to think about. Luckily, Mercury is helpful to Chiron, putting words to feelings. You could find or muster up the courage to state what you are going through or talk out the inhibitions or fears you may have.
Mars is the ruler of this lunation, and it sits in your 3rd House of communication and dialogue. It gives you the gusto you need to say what is on your mind. You could feel motivated to speak up or work with people close to you. The conversations you have now are extremely pivotal– as Saturn and Mars align in the coming days. Even through some of the heaviness of this transit, we come out the other side more impassioned and better understanding what we truly want or need. There is a level of mindfulness that needs to be taken into consideration.
Use this New Moon to really get in touch with your sense of joy and pleasure. This is about radical authenticity and stepping into the spotlight. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Find new creative outlets, chat with friends and express yourself wholly. There is no need to hold back now. You will be well-received.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
4th House | Refuel
It is time to slow down where you can. Pisces Season was busy for you, and it had you running around everywhere. Now, Aries Season’s message is a little different. Perhaps you need to get back in touch with your emotional foundations and your sense of home.
The New Moon in Aries falls in your 4th House of home, family, roots, and emotional center. You are being asked to withdraw a little and tend to your inner world. Maybe you have been running yourself ragged, and you can finally catch your breath. If that is the case, then lean into this period of rest. Now, with the 4th House being highlighted, some of you may be doing work around homes and properties, too: buying, selling, renting, redecorating, etc. Renovations or quick negotiations are likely. In addition, you could also have your attention on family matters. It seems that you are really getting back to your roots in many ways.
The Sun and Moon align with Chiron at the bottom of your chart, opening up some feelings or buried thoughts around the idea of home and family. Perhaps some anxieties around security or issues with family may arise. Chiron asks that we tend to our hearts, our needs, and what may inspire these feelings. Luckily, you are not ill-equipped as Mercury comes to connect the dots. It helps you put things into perspective–– finding the words and cultivating important pieces of dialogue. You may find yourself having a valuable conversation with someone you consider to be family or even just decide to close the doors on them altogether. Lastly, this could also come up in the ideas of comfort for you.
Mars is the leader of this lunation, where it sits in your 2nd House. This continues that train of thought around security, but it brings awareness and motivation this time. Maybe you are looking to change how you act or feel driven by resources. There is a level of “watch what you spend” right now. Saturn and Mars are working toward a conjunction in this area of your chart. Slow and steady wins the race. You are making financial decisions that will have long-term impacts on you. This can be very grounding and help you find stability.
Use this New Moon to work on your emotional foundations. Take time to reflect on the past to inform your future and connect with your ancestry or roots. If you are looking to make changes to your living situation, this New Moon can bring unexpected circumstances to make that happen for you! Sometimes, all it takes is something external or unforeseen to jolt you into action or inspiration. Go with the flow and allow things to unfold before you.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
3rd House | Ideas
It seems that you are needing to speak up a bit more than usual. After having a focus on your resources and income over the last few weeks, you are now being asked to make a few decisions. You are invited to learn, adapt and integrate.
This New Moon falls in your 3rd House, and communication, thoughts, ideas, community, and contracts are all coming into focus. There is a major call to needing to change your perception and get the facts you need to be informed as you move forward. If you have been feeling like you are in limbo, this New Moon is a call to be flexible and go with the changes. You may need to reach out to those around you and get additional insights. Conversations may be lively or inspiring! The immediate world around you feels more important, especially in the ways you take it in and let it out. Words hold value, and dialogue becomes more stimulating. You seem to have a lot to share right now. You could be filling your calendar up with projects that keep you busy. Focus on process over progress.
However, there is a need to work through fears you have of perception and how you are being heard or witnessed. The Sun and Moon align with Chiron, opening up residual feelings around not being validated or being listened to. Maybe you are feeling left out. Luckily, Mercury is in this space, helping Chiron process. It seems that the thing that is causing you anxiety is also the thing that will set you free–– your voice. Mercury reminds you of the power of conversation and sharing what you think, know, or want to express. Don’t hold back right now. Share what is on your mind.
Mars is the leader of this lunation and sits in your sign. It could be giving you the power or drive you need to make some needed changes in your life. However, you could be asked to slow down a bit, especially as Mars makes a conjunction to Saturn over the next few days. There is a call to focus, be intentional, and pay attention to what motivates you. You are grounding yourself a bit more. You are asked to integrate much of what you have learned about yourself in the last few years.
Use this New Moon to talk things out. Your voice and your perception have power, but perhaps it needs to shift in how it is being used. You may need to reach out to others or professionals for additional insights or to gain clarity. Don’t hesitate. There is so much energy around this New Moon that suggests you have to drive ahead.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
2nd House | Stability
Whew! The last month was a whirlwind to say the least! You had so much going on, and you were being pushed and pulled in a thousand directions. You were in one of the best positions to grow or make important changes (and you still are). Now, we are in a new season, and there is a New Moon afoot.
This New Moon falls in your 2nd House, and you have to come to terms with what you actually want, need–– and where you are going to find security. You have a chance to redefine what your worth and value are. How can you take steps to bring stronger foundations into your life? Where can you discover more potential? This New Moon sets you on a path to start something new financially, as well. Maybe you need to know that you have options and that you can bring more money into your life if you are willing to make necessary changes. If you are looking around for some jobs, find ones that will play on your talents better and leverage your past successes to obtain a pay increase.
The Sun and Moon align with Chiron at this lunation in your 2nd House. This brings up feelings or wounds around security or being valuable. You could be dealing with a scarcity mindset or have past hang-ups around finances or self-worth. Chiron is urging you to work through this a bit more and don’t shy away. Mercury is helpful now, so it brings a level of conversation with it. These things need to be talked out, expressed, and communicated. Mercury is asking that you process and work through these feelings you hold.
Mars, the leader of this lunation, sits in your 12th House, helping you bring something to a close. Mars in the 12th is all about an ending or a cycle finding a resting point. You have been learning a lot about endings in general, as Saturn has been in this space for a few years now. There is much to be gleaned from your time spent in the quiet, digging deeper into your idea of faith, craft, understanding, and surrendering. Mars and Saturn work toward a conjunction in the days after this New Moon. They remind you that mindfulness and intention are important. You are willing to put action toward what you feel needs to come to a close. On the other side of this, Saturn grants a reward, knowing that you have integrated these lessons. After a long period of waiting and patience, you have more clarity on what you need and from where. You will soon emerge from this space feeling more empowered.
Use this New Moon to get out there and seek what is available to you. If it is something financial you are after, then know you are completely supported. If you are wanting to build strong security in your life, this New Moon will push you to do so. You may even have to face up to what your worth and value truly are. Do you believe in yourself the way you say you do? You are about to find out.
New Moon Note
This New Moon is the first of the astrological new year. It ushers in Aries energy in a strong way and new cycle entirely. Whatever you begin now will take shape as we go through our new year. This is a fantastic New Moon to plan for what’s to come!
