The New Moon in Aries Brings Total Solar Eclipse Fireworks

new moon in Aries blog banner

The New Moon in Aries is usually a time to initiate action, but this year’s new moon is also a total solar eclipse that takes place during Mercury Retrograde in Aries. This means that the 2024 Aries New Moon has a different energy to ordinary new moons in the sign of the ram.

Eclipses conceal, never reveal, so we’re not seeing things clearly enough to take decisive action. This element of caution and uncertainty is at odds with confident Aries vibes.

Sudden changes and unexpected news can force us to adapt during the eclipse season. The Aries energy would rather be in control of decisions, so this is another point of friction at the total solar eclipse.  

The Spiritual Meaning of the New Moon in Aries

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, representing initiation, courage, leadership and competitiveness. Fire sign Aries is ruled by Mars and the energy of this planet pushes us to be more direct, even aggressive, in the pursuit of our goals.

The Aries New Moon is your no-nonsense opportunity to ask the universe for what you really want and manifest the life you deserve. When the New Moon falls in Aries, it amplifies issues related to the 1st House of the zodiac, encouraging you to start new projects, take risks and assert yourself.

Your profile, image and first impression are all ruled by Aries and the 1st House, so this is usually a good time to review this area of your life and set some intentions. If you have personal planets in Aries then you may feel the New Moon energy more than most.

New Moon in Aries Total Solar Eclipse Horoscopes for Every Zodiac Sign

Aries

The New Moon in Aries is your Lunar New Year but it’s also a total solar eclipse in your sign. Eclipses conceal and the full story isn’t revealed until a later date. 

This could feel very personal, Aries, but try not to get swept up in any drama. Avoid launching a radical new image, profile or appearance. The unpredictable energy of the solar eclipse and mercury retrograde in Aries does not provide the best environment. 

Taurus

The Aries New Moon falls in your 12th House of spirituality and encourages you to rest, relax and recharge. Look to your inner world and use your intuition to set some new intentions that will improve your psychological and emotional wellbeing. You may also want to focus on your health during this time and improve your physical wellbeing. 

Gemini

The New Moon in Aries falls in your 11th House, which may bring some unexpected news or changes related to your social circle, groups and teams. If ex-friends or former lovers appear in your life, find a new way of relating to them that is more beneficial for your future.

Cancer

The new moon solar eclipse in Aries has the potential to bring dramatic developments in your career or professional life. Be aware that eclipses conceal, so you may not see the full story until a later date. There are better times to update your LinkedIn status or ask for a discussion around your role and responsibilities.

Leo

Your adventurous 9th House of travel and education is triggered by the New Moon in Aries. It’s time to leave your comfort zone behind and expand your horizons, both physically and creatively. 

Virgo

The Aries New Moon falls in your 8th House of joint ventures and partnerships. You could be pushed to go deeper into a relationship or commit to a financial project that requires you to merge resources and energy with another person. 

Libra

Aries is your opposite sign in the zodiac wheel, so the eclipse affects your 7th House of partnerships and relationships. You may feel a surge of energy that can be used to improve your connections with others and implement positive relationship changes.

Scorpio

This New Moon falls in your 6th House of work and wellness. Unexpected news or changes that affect your daily routines may leave you feeling unsettled. Focus on self-care and be open to changing your habits if required. 

Sagittarius

The Aries New Moon falls in your 5th House of romance, creativity and fun. You may feel a strong desire to connect with others and explore new experiences and creative pursuits. Focus on a passion project or side hustle that brings you joy.

Capricorn

Your 4th House of home and family is where this New Moon falls. It’s a great time to look at your home life and consider what you want this to look like in the future.

Aquarius 

This new moon is in your 3rd House of communication, commuting and commerce. Look at your close relationships with friends, siblings, neighbours and colleagues, and any regular short distance travel routines to see what needs to change for the better. 

Pisces

The Aries New Moon falls in your 2nd House, encouraging you to look at money matters. What needs to improve or change in this area of your life? It’s also a good time to evaluate your self-worth and set some better boundaries in professional and personal relationships. 

Aries New Moon Manifestation Rituals

Eclipses do not provide the best astrological conditions for manifestation. This is because the energy of an eclipse is chaotic, unpredictable and volatile. 

Aries New Moons usually provide positive conditions for making clear decisions and taking decisive actions. If you do decide to manifest on an eclipse, be prepared for some unusual and unexpected outcomes!

On an ordinary Aries New Moon, use the positive lunar energy to set some intentions. Aries is a fire sign, ruling the 1st House, so your manifestation ritual should honour the adventurous, pioneering and independent spirit of this zodiac sign. 

  • Bring fire and heat into your Aries New Moon manifestation ritual with a scented candle
  • Write your intentions, create a manifestation board or draw your visualisation by candlelight
  • Wear red and channel the fire sign energy as you perform your Aries New Moon ritual
  • Perform a solo new moon ritual and focus on being alone with your thoughts
  • Take yourself on a solo ‘artist’s date’, inspired by famous Aries Venus Julia Cameron, to encourage creativity
