Each new moon begins a new cycle but the Aries New Moon that births on 1st April also heralds in the start of a new astrological year. When I was a garden designer I used to plant by the moon and as a health coach I’ve been working with the moon since I started working with Ceremonial Cacao in 2020, an amazing plant medicine that the ancients also worked with. They would also have worked with moon energy using it to express the seasons, time and planting their crops by it. I’m pretty new to astrology, other than knowing my own birth sign etc, but I think it’s a fascinating field and one I’m happily exploring. I‘m glad you are joining me for the journey.
So what of this new moon?
The energy surrounding the new moon in Aries is about initiation, manifestation, moving forward into something new. If you did the work around the March New Moon around release and letting go you will be ready to turn your dreams into reality. Using lunar energy to help you lt go is a great ritual to help shape your life. Perhaps you want to amplify what you already have in your life. Perhaps you want to set forth on a whole new path. Whatever your desire, this new moon will work with you to support you and make it happen.
We hear a lot spoken about people finding their purpose, fulfilling their purpose and living a purpose driven life etc but what does it really mean. Often we have ideas that it needs to be a grand gesture, changing the world or at least the community we are in. But it doesn’t need to be a big gesture. Your purpose may be to be the best mother for your kids right now. It may be to be a faithful friend to someone who is struggling. It may be that you have a business idea you want to get off the ground, a creative project you want to start work on or a charity you want to support. Wherever you are on this journey that is life, embrace it - you are exactly where you are meant to be.
