Because Aries is the youngest of the signs, this is the New Moon for fresh starts. Aries represents the inner child: that amazingly trusting, innocent soul that lives within each of us. I realize innocence is hard to conjure up when the world is in such disarray, but this is the only New Moon of the year when we get to start all over again. If this past year has left you feeling beaten down, depressed, and physically or emotionally wounded, this is the New Moon to start anew. Even in the worst of times, it is important to be aware of the ever-present humor that exists in the darkest moments of our lives. After all, the greatest comedy does arise from the deepest tragedies. When darkness comes into our lives, we must remember that the dawn will eventually come. This New Moon is the rising sun, the light at the end of the tunnel, the beginning of your journey back to wholeness. It is a refreshing and joyful New Moon. Winter is over! Renewal has arrived!
This is the best New Moon for turning over a new leaf or starting a new phase, especially with the Annular Total Eclipse or Hybrid Eclipse. Eclipses energetically heighten Full and New Moons. Eclipses in Aries are always challenging, and with Neptune and Mars in Aquarius sextiling the Sun/Moon/Venus/North Node conjunction in Aries, the effect will be a wild card of sorts. So be mindfully present with your emotions and your thoughts on this day, and your actions will flow gracefully rather than be a reflection of inner impulsivity and selfishness.
