new moon partial solar eclipse in aries

This month is full of planetary action with Venus and Mercury retrograde in Aries, the Vernal Equinox on March 20th signaling the beginning of Aries season, and the much anticipated entry of Neptune into Aries. Additionally, March brings the second eclipse, the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Aries awakening our emotions. Aries is the initiator, the defender and this eclipse arrives as a catalyst, heroic and electrifying, a new cycle where instinct takes precedence over hesitation. Igniting a fire within, we are compelled to step forward with boldness, authenticity and the willingness to begin again. 

Mars, the planet of passion, action and courage rules this New Moon and is currently in the sign of Cancer where the warrior planet is far more emotionally driven. Protective of self and others, Mars fights for love and what is held sacred. This placement brings a deeply felt, empathetic and instinctual layer to this eclipse, stirring emotions tied to safety, belonging, and inner security. The fire in this lunation burns strong within, motivating us to open our heart to what we truly desire and are willing to stand up for. 

Closest to this Moon, Mercury retrograde in Aries urges us to fearlessly reclaim our voice, cut through mental clutter and rediscover what truly drives us. Ask yourself, where have I been holding back or silencing myself? What is my personal truth that needs to be acknowledged and shared? As we take a mental pause, conversations and old visions may be revisited, and clarity can arrive through deep reflection, however if possible wait until after April 7, 2025 when Mercury stations direct to make any final commitments. 

Adding spiritual power to this eclipse is Neptune’s presence in the final degree of Pisces, standing at the threshold between endings and beginnings, where dissolution meets initiation. Neptune’s ethereal energy softens Aries’ sharp edges, creating both a dreamlike haze and an opening for profound intuition. With Neptune making a historic transition into Aries the day after this New Moon, this eclipse is not just about rushing forward, it’s about surrendering to what is ready to flow through us. 

Aries is the pioneer, the fire that burns through fear. Under this New Moon Solar Eclipse, we are reminded that our presence matters and our desires are valid, that it’s time to take the first step toward something that truly fuels our spirit. Even if it feels uncertain, and we don’t yet see the full road ahead, trust that this energy is pushing each of us in the direction we are meant to go.

Solar eclipses mark profound turning points and in Aries, this one is personal. At its core, this New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries is a reset, a threshold of renewed identity, to courageously release what no longer serves us and embrace the powerful force of our own becoming.  To rewrite the narratives that have undermined us, and move forward, not just with Aries willpower, but with deep unwavering faith in the unfolding of our journey. 

Knowing where the New or Full Moon occurs in your birthchart is the best way to understand the effect of this phase personally.
