The Spiritual Meaning of the New Moon in Aries
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, representing the beginning of a new cycle, initiation, courage, leadership and competitiveness. Cardinal fire sign Aries is ruled by the planet 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 the sign of 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 an ideal time to review this area of your life and set some intentions for a fresh start.
The New Moon in Aries is a good time to begin any new projects that have a 1st House interest. Give your social media profiles a makeover, try a daring new haircut or overhaul your wardrobe as part of your Aries New Moon ritual.
