Fight AND allow - New moon partial solar eclipse at 9 degrees Aries on 29th March 2025 at 10:57 GMT

The Aries new moon is all about fresh starts, courage, and individuality. Aries, ruled by Mars, is a fiery and action-oriented sign, encouraging us to take initiative and embrace our inner warrior. With the added power of the solar eclipse, this lunation invites us to:

Set bold intentions: Dream big and take fearless steps toward your goals.
Release old patterns: Let go of what no longer serves you, making space for growth.
Embrace authenticity: Stand confidently in your truth and express your unique self.

New moons in Aries are trailblazers, initiating new intentions with bravery and instinct.

If you have been waiting to begin, then Aries will light the fire and give the green light for a new action. Take a look at where 9 degrees Aries falls in your chart. You can create a chart here: Create a Natal Chart | Heart Horizon Astro.

When we tap into Aries, we celebrate the warrior that fights with passion for what it desires. While not as soulful as Pluto or as graceful as Venus, Aries fights with a desire to win. It fights for itself (identity). It fights with a child-like 'all in' mindset.

The shadow side of Aries

The child-like thrust of Aries can be tiresome when actions are initiated without thought of how they will pan out. Passion can be taken too far, superseding logic and sense. Wilfulness is not considered an adult trait, as we learn to be responsible as we age.

This new moon forms significant aspects with other planets, shaping its energetic influence:

Conjunction with the Sun: As always, the new moon aligns with the Sun, symbolizing unity and new beginnings.
Conjunction with Mercury RX: The new is infused with thoughts of the past. Of -revisiting what has been said, agreed and thought about.
Sextile to Pluto in Aquarius: This aspect may bring in transformation with some effort, urging us to confront hidden truths and embrace change. In typical Aqua fashion we're being flung forward at hyper speed. As Aqua rules the nervous system/lungs (with Mercury) and Pluto intensifies - ensure you are grounding via breathwork.
Trine to Mars in Leo: A harmonious connection with Mars fuels courage, action, and determination, making it an ideal time to pursue bold goals.

What else is happening?

Neptune at 29 degrees conjunct Venus RX and North node in Pisces

While we are firing ahead, this conjunction is a release point, required in order for us to move forward. We have two RX planets, nudging us to reconsider our relationships (to self and others), our finances and our value.

So you may feel a dual-need to pause and reflect and to initiate action.

This abundance of Pisces can create hyper sensitivity, feelings of sacrifice and allowing and elements of confusion.

This makes this new moon somewhere tricky to navigate. When do we surge ahead and when do we allow?
