The New Moon in Aries arrived yesterday, along with a parade of planets in the sign of the match stick. Aries is the cardinal fire sign, the one that gets things going.

If you've been looking for a moment to initiate something new, this weekend is a fantastic time to set that intention.

We've been in a season of release for months! Every time we surrender, it feels like there is another layer of muck that we have to trudge through.

I'm not saying the astrology of this moment is easy, far from it, but it is different.

We're in a moment of simplifying, clarifying, and initiation. Aries is clear, direct, no frills. It wants to get to the essence and move forward.

So can you take the first step?

That is all this New Moon is asking for - one step forward.

You'll figure out the next step tomorrow, and the day after that, and so on, and so forth...

New Moon in Aries Journal Ritual

1. What has gone right since the New Moon in Pisces (4 weeks ago)?
2. If you had no fear, doubts, or insecurities - what challenge, adventure, journey, or risk would you take on?
3. What is one small action you can take to move toward that?
4. What can the Universe do to help you take on that adventure, challenge, journey, risk?

Now make it a mantra or affirmation:

When I do #3 and the Universe does #4 I am capable of taking on #2.

I wish I had a new podcast episode for you, but alas, my life has been life-ing.

My Mom had an accident (she'll be fine) and I had to fly to Florida to be with her, which was my first time being away from my 3 year old son overnight, and it was 3 nights!

But the astrology was supportive. As an Aries gal with a pretty packed Aries chart, and my son with some supportive Aries planets, we both got the boost of courage we needed to get over this hurdle.

I'm excited to get back on the mic soon with a new episode, until then I'm flirting with going public on IG again and making more astrology videos (I miss talking to you between emails). I'm also really into Threads lately. So you can always find me there.

I'd love to hear from you too! How are you feeling with 6 planets in Aries?

✨ May the stars shine brightly upon you,
