On New Moons release the past, any habits, conditioning, thoughts, beliefs that aren’t authentic or no longer serve you. At this time the Moon and Sun are united at the exact same degree in the sky, both their lights blocked from our sight, merging both conscious and unconscious aspects of our mind. Energy is bought into a contemplative, reflective and quiet mood.
This makes rich soil for contacting your inner/higher self/subconscious, planning and setting foundations for your path.
Write down what you are releasing, then burn them as you visualise and feel yourself let go with love and gratitude for how they have served you up until now.

New Moons are about Manifesting, plant the seeds of intention you want to sew, then water them with action. Write up to 10 intentions or affirmations to bring into your life over the next six months, by the Full Moon in ARIES. This is when the Sun & Moon are opposite each other at their extreme ends of mutual polarity.
To take it a step further, draw or make a vision board for your plans, make sure you add a fruition date.
Focus on areas and approaches that ARIES rules, such as:
- New Beginnings
- Initiating new ventures
- New Directions
- Blazing trails
- Blazing trails out of your field/comfort zone/area of familiarity
- Solo ventures
- Independence “
- Taking Risks
- Self focus
- First impressions
- Action
- Assertiveness
- Taking the lead, Aries waits for no one
- No Fear, or feeling the fear and doing it anyway!
- Courage
Eg ;
- ” I easily find myself consistently asserting myself in healthy ways”
- “I easily find myself taking the lead when it’s in my best interests to do so”
- “I easily find myself engaging in healthy activities that increase my energy and vitality”
- “All fears of being ‘the first’ are totally lifted from me”
- “I easily find myself initiating in ways that create mutual trust and support in my relationship with…”
- “I have total confidence in simply being myself”
- “I easily find myself acting on my constructive inner impulse”
- “I am the hero of my journey”
- “I easily find myself being straight forward in all my relationships”
- “I easily find I’m fearless in all areas of my life”
Aries rules the Warrior part of ourselves. The initiating spark of energy that’s in every new beginning or seed, the strength and self assurance it takes for a seed, alone in the dark soil to bust out and push through. Aries waits for no one, if it cared what the crowd was doing it would rot and moulder, still in the ground. That first burst of fire out of a furnace when the door is opened, thats the Aries quality.
Go within to get in touch with that part of yourself, apply it to what you’d like to accomplish. Choose your top goal and make it count.
This New Moon is square to taskmaster Saturn in Sagittarius. Busting out has a caveat. Saturn in Sagittarius signifies that the old guard, especially concerning freedom has a restraining order in place.
For example, you’re changing careers, you’re leaping into the void…Saturn says cover yourself, make sure you have planned and are provided for over this period in case you fall short. Eg, use past experience in hospitality to secure a waiting or barista job to get you the final yards while the new endeavour launches. Your new to be found freedom is as stake, as well as what you’ve already worked for and stored. Work ethic, as well as boundaries protect your freedom. You wont want to, you may feel its beneath you, and it will humble your ego, however Saturn provides when you do the work. He’s here telling you, do the work, go the extra mile or you’ll run out of gas before you hit the freeway.
You may find yourself in one of the two positions here…are you the one supporting someone elses way forward with what you’ve worked hard for? Then get some boundaries and reflect on your own wishes for new beginnings. Or you may be the one asking for someone else to foot the bill while you chase your own self expression. Time to take responsibility and it will serve you better than any short term couch surfing ever could. You’ve skilled up in the past, time to hack your own well built resources, they are there and ready to provide. You have all you need to push on.
Integrate the child within yourself with the adult, without compromising either, rather than taking one role and pitting yourself against an external agent you’ve cast in the other role.
Entrepreneurship is trending this decade. This new moon is potent for would be Entrepreneurs. There is struggle and challenge in this Moon, however it marks a turning point so keep at it and you’ll surface to the next level.
Is there something you need to let go of in order to move forward. A dream or fantasy of freedom thats actually more of an anchor in reality. Time to cut the rope and liquefy those assets!
Nothing says Aries vibes like Supersheros. Heres wonderwoman to show us how. In this movie W.W steps up to her responsibilities and serves others by expressing everything she is. Where in your life do you need to be your own superhero?

Retrograde Venus is in the mix bringing a new twist on relationships….and how you relate to yourself/your own self worth.
How can you relate differently in your fast and furious mad dash to new life/career/relationship/travel etc. Time to mix it up, step it up and use a different approach, you’ve outgrown your old way of relating. This could be as simple as working out the perfect selfie angle/filter, being more direct, validating yourself instead of waiting for others approval or even illustrating your vision in a creative medium. Venus rules values, self worth as well as money so take a closer look at how you’re functioning in this area.
Own your authority if you find you look to authority figures to decide what you’re worth. Then do the work to make your vision, income and freedom happen.
Mercury is conjunct Uranus, lending genius spark to fresh and creative ideas…stabilised by a trine (easy flow) to Saturn in Sagittarius..take your genius moment and apply to any challenges you face. Communications will be a way forward, use yr grey matter.
