Aries season fires up with the first New Moon of the astrological year, the New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. This extra intense Super New Moon of initiation and rebirth, urges us to assert ourselves and take steps towards realizing our dreams. Honoring our feelings with conviction, this is a time of restorative new beginnings; to face fears head on and set forth on unexplored paths with a steadfast determination in pursuit of what sets our soul on fire.
Independent, adventurous with strong survival instincts, Aries embodies qualities of the warrior. The first sign of the zodiac, Aries is symbolized by the Ram, head down and ready to charge. With a burst of life force, the end point of Aries is to become fearless; to cultivate the willpower to forge a life. Ruled by Mars, currently in Pisces and close to Saturn in Pisces, this fierce spiritual warrior is armed with wisdom, fortitude and compassion.
With Venus, the North Node, the Sun, Chiron, the Moon and Mercury grouped together, this dramatic eclipse brings an impressive array of Aries energy increasing the evolutionary growth potential and bold expression of this Moon. Thoughts can quicken and feelings become urgent, however Mercury currently retrograde in Aries requires conscious reflection. Communicate honestly from your heart, however, think before you speak to minimize regrets. Set healthy boundaries when needed and wait until Mercury stations direct on April 25th before making commitments.
Infusing this lunar phase with powerful healing potential is Chiron in the exact degree and minute of the Sun and Moon, a unique alignment within this lunar phase. Chiron’s medicine is compassionate surrender and trust that healing is possible. Honestly confronting the hurts and fears we’ve carried through our lives, we are motivated with the passionate drive of Aries to release them and claim our power, integrity and self-confidence.
As the Sun is eclipsed, this profound pause in the light creates a cosmic portal for reset and renewal, setting an emotional tone to reflect upon our personal identities, goals and the passions that move us forward. Ask yourself: where in my life am I ready to initiate change? What ignites my enthusiasm and makes me feel alive? How can I assert my independence while still honoring my connections with others?
Although this is an intensely motivating lunar phase of setting new intentions, eclipses are the mystical movement makers in our lives, ushering in changes that can occur up to 6 months. Trust in the healing breakthroughs and significant shifts; opening and aligning life in ways that over time will reveal a fresh perspective.
Let this New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries, be a beacon of inspiration, and self-reclamation; a reminder that within each of us burns an indomitable flame that kindles the fires of creation, joy and passion. Embrace your inner hero and with right timing prepare to step into a new vision of yourself and chapter of life with the heart of a warrior and the spirit of a pioneer.
