The Moon starts a new cycle in Aries on April 8th 2024. The focus areas are New Beginnings, Personal Brand, and Leadership.
The time of the new moon is when the Sun and Moon meet at the same sign and ask us to take initiating actions such as planting seeds of intention. As the moon waxes (grows) so will your intention.
Each NEW MOON offers an opportunity to take charge of our lives by tapping into the potent power in the cosmos to solidify our intentions, goals, and wishes in reality.
Aries
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and begins the astrological new year with its fresh, bold and assertive energy. Aries embodies qualities of leadership, independence, and courage. Aries is ruled by the element of fire. The type of fire that ignites our personal will, creativity, and optimism. Aries is driven by a strong sense of self and a desire for independence. They take assertive action towards their goals and aspirations.
Aries has a sense of urgency—an urgency to focus, to get started on things, and to set boundaries. The influence of Aries compels you to seize the moment, to take risks, and to embrace challenges head-on.
When working with Aries energy be assertive and headstrong. Break free from self imposed constraints and take the first step towards a new path in life with courage and determination.
Aries Moon Mood
When the moon is in Aries the mood is energized, direct, independent and rebellious. It may influence us to be spontaneous and enthusiastic. Consider working in short intense bursts rather than long periods of concentration. Launch a project or initiate an action on your to do list. Express independent and authentic thoughts and ideas. Be clear and to the point. Cut to the chase. Clear the air. Demolish narratives and structures that hinder your progress. Set healthy boundaries. Prepare space for a garden in your back/front yard or window sill.
