The New Moon in Aries heralds bold new beginnings in the sign of original fire. The Sun, Moon and Chiron are joined by an array of planets in Aries, seven in total. This highly charged fire stellium signals renewed energy for projects and enterprises, mental clearing, healing and complete rejuvenation. It is time to leave the past behind and step forward into the new.


The first new moon of the astrological year, the sun and moon conjoin in the sign of cardinal fire. Cardinal energy is about leadership, initiative, and taking the reins. The fire element brings enthusiasm, bold action, and a huge amount of energy to create and begin things.


The energy of this new moon is complementary to the underlying energy of the Fire Horse year. The new moon provides a window of introspection, to reflect and focus on the things you wish to create and initiate. There is major dynamic energy that can be released, and the more aligned you are in your thoughts, words and deeds, the more potent the results will be.


The Sun and Moon are conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer. On this new moon, we release and heal the wounds of the past. As they are brought to light, we can offer them up to the primordial fire of spirit, returning them to pure energy. Whatever you have suffered, the depth and intensity that pain has carved into your being can find its match in burning love, the love of the Creator and the love of soul.


We have an exact Mercury Neptune conjunction in Aries, as the Divine messenger conjoins with Nepune, planet of higher energy and spiritual calling. Listen for messages from your soul, stirrings, dreams, and signs. This astrological portal is highly significant for the transit of Neptune through this sign, where it will remain for thirteen years. Aries represents the fire of mind, as it stimulates the spiritual longing of Neptune, urging you to take inspired action on your dreams.


Mercury and Neptune are conjunct Mars and Saturn within five degrees, forming a quadruple power stellium. Mars, the ruler of Aries, is driving the chariot and activating the other planets. Combined with Saturn, the active energy gains power, strength and stability, endurance, and authority. This stellium brings Divine guidance, the energy to act on it and the will to drive it forward.


The key to getting the most out of this aspect is ALIGNMENT. Coming into alignment with your soul, the highest consciousness you can access, and becoming a clear mirror. Bringing your body, emotions and mental state into alignment with your goals. Focusing all your energy and drive into carrying out your highest guidance. Then you will become like an arrow, powerful and direct, flying towards your vision.


The power stellium is receiving a sextile aspect from Pluto. The planet of transformation and rebirth is giving a potent boost to this alignment, bringing the opportunity to clear karma, use your understanding wisely, and catapult yourself forwards with renewed intensity.


The time to clear and release karma is now. Do not hold onto anything. Do a fire ritual, offer everything up to spirit. The universe has your back, as you step into your new self.


Spirit says, maybe it is easier than you think. Maybe, the weight comes only from your mind. Maybe, once you have freed yourself from attachments, and stepped off the rollercoaster of your emotions, you will find true stability and power.

Renewal happens, when you allow yourself to be renewed.


The power stellium is also receiving a positive sextile aspect from mighty Uranus, the Great Awakener. Uranus in the very last degree of Taurus, fixed earth, is creating the very instability that you need to wake up. On the 26th of April it will enter Gemini, once again moving into exact conjunction with Alcyone, the central star of the Pleiades. This is an extremely high frequency conjunction.


The energy of this new moon is conducive for being completely reborn and becoming the phoenix. The key is not to waste energy on things that do not serve your purpose or your path. Unconscious actions, anger or harsh words will backfire and cause damage. The more conscious and clear you can be the better, as you rise and harmonise your energy with the cosmos.


On this new moon, take some time to be still and reflect. Get really clear on your vision and aligned course of action. Rest, rejuvenate and prepare for all systems go.


The warriors of Light are emerging


New Moon Blessings
