Or how to start for real this time!

On March 21st 2023, at 5:17pm GMT, the Moon and the Sun will be conjunct at 0° of Aries, creating an extremely significant New Moon in Aries.

Why is this New Moon so potent and possibly life changing? Because it’s a New Moon sitting at 0°, the degree of infinite possibilities, because it’s in Aries, the sign that represents initiation, beginnings, creative forces and momentum and because it’s also happening a few hours after the Spring Equinox in the Northern hemisphere: blossoms, longer and sunnier days, fresh energy and the true astrological New Year!

Of course, there is a gazillion other reasons why this New Moon in Aries is essential in our lives especially if we want to implement a change (a sextile with Pluto in Capricorn, a loose conjunction with Neptune in Pisces, a trine with Black Moon Lilith…). However, let’s keep it short and sweet in true Aries fashion. What can we do to harness this wonderful energy?

First, let’s set intentions, and I mean for real. What is important to us? What do we want to achieve? Where do we want to go? Let’s write down a clear list of things we want to experience.

Then, let’s visualise and put some emotions (energy in motion!!) behind these wishes. How would it feel to succeed? How would it feel to do this and that? How would these experiences impact our lives?

Finally, let’s take actions. Not erratic ones, proper actions that support our goals. For example, if we want to get a new job, let’s brush up that CV, make sure our skills are up to date, let’s take a free evening class to improve an area where we feel insecure (foreign languages, tech savviness…) and start job hunting.

There’s something in the skies that pushes us to dream big and go for it. The time is now, the fire is lit up, the momentum is here. Let’s go, let’s make the most of this New Moon. We are likely to see our dreams fully shaped with the shift of the lunar nodes to Aries and Libra and the eclipse in Libra on October 14th, 2023!

Here is a non-exhaustive list of areas that are important for each sign. As always, check your Sun, Moon and Ascendant signs!

• Aries: identity, sense of self, physical appearance, how you interact with the world, core persona

• Taurus: subsconcious patterns and fears, spiritual essence, intuition, creative nudges, secrets

• Gemini: social circle and friends, future goals and wishes, communities, technologies

• Cancer: public status, career and ambition, professional objectives, legacy, what we bring to the world

• Leo: philosophy, long distance travels, belief system and spirituality, expansion and exploration

• Virgo: intimacy, sexuality, shared resources, psychological endings and beginnings, inheritance

• Libra: partnerships, balance, agreements and contracts, definition of roles in a relationship, the quest for harmony

• Scorpio: physical health, routine and daily habits, colleagues and how we interact with them, work tasks, pets

• Sagittarius: romance and passionate love, fun and hobbies, arts and crafts, relationships with your kids

• Capricorn: home and family life, divine feminine, ancestry and roots, inner life and dreams

• Aquarius: relationships with siblings, communication at work or in your daily life, weekend trips, information you give and you receive

• Pisces: self-esteem, the money you make, self-worth, the material things you possess and the ones you want

The beginning is always today.
