ARIES NEW MOON: BREAK ON THROUGH
On March 21, 2023, we’ll have our New Moon in Aries! With spring just the day before, this lunation kicks off a season of pure energy and fresh starts. Use the two weeks after the new moon to plant seeds and set your intentions! Likewise, if you’re ready, it’s the perfect time to kickoff projects — you’ll have a lot of fire backing you for a successful finish.
This lunation, however, comes with a challenge: Mars in Gemini is making a square to the Aries New Moon. Normally, Aries and Gemini get along well, but in this case, the positions of the planets will make them clash a bit. You can think of this clash like two people trying to go in different directions at the same time — it creates tension and can be tricky to navigate. Luckily, these kinds of challenges can help us learn and grow. Use this opportunity to learn something new or find a creative solution to a problem. With a little bit of effort, you can work through this tension and come out even stronger on the other side.
To find out where the Aries New Moon is heralding a new beginning in your life, see where 0 degrees of Aries in your chart; to determine where Mars will be making square (challenge) find 28 degrees Gemini. These will be the two areas that you have to reconcile for best effect. Likewise, read the horoscope for your sign and/or rising sign below.
Aries: The New Moon in Aries is of course in your First House — Happy Birthday! This is the perfect time to reflect on your personality and how you want to present yourself to the world. You may decide to update your personal style to reflect the 2.0 version of you! This is also the time to set some goals for yourself and think about what you want more of in your life. However, there’s a bit of a hiccup with Mars in your Third House, which could make communication a little tricky; it’s important to be mindful of how you speak to yourself and others during this time. Stay positive and choose your words wisely. You might also want to be selective about the invitations and offers you accept, since you’re likely to have a lot on your plate. But overall, this spring is all about having a positive mindset and some great conversations that lead to more happiness and success.
Taurus: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Twelfth House of the Subconscious. Over the next two weeks, you may feel like you want to escape reality and go into your own thoughts. Take this opportunity to get some extra sleep and reflect on the past six months. This is especially important because your birthday is coming up soon! Think of yourself as a baker making a cake — you need to have all the ingredients in the mix to get the result you want. So be clear about what you want to focus on and believe in yourself. Remember that what you focus on leads to more of that, so keep your focus on what you want. Mars might stir things up in your Second House of Resources and Values, but don’t settle for second best. Know your worth and use this as an opportunity to improve your financial situation. Take some time to focus on your beliefs and values during this New Moon, and make sure to get some extra rest! Trust yourself and stay positive, and you’ll achieve your goals.
Gemini: This New Moon in Aries will transit your Eleventh House, which is all about hopes, wishes, friends, and community. This is a great time to take a chance and go after what would make you really happy, as your dreams now have a good chance of coming true. If you’re looking for some new friends or a community that understands you, now is the time to go out and find them — or enjoy them if they’re already around! But be careful, because Mars in your sign could cause some trouble, especially with what you say. It’s important to be assertive without being overly aggressive, and to stand up for yourself when needed and not be a doormat. This is especially important when it comes to your new friends and community. So strike a balance and enjoy this time of inspiration and connection, Gemini!
Cancer: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Tenth House of Career and Status, which means that your professionbal future is full of possibilities and you have the power to make it happen! If you’ve been feeling stuck in your career, now is the perfect time to make bold moves that will impress others and get you to where you want to be. Even if you’re not sure what you want to do, take some time to explore your interests and passions. However, be aware that Mars may be causing some inner turmoil and self-doubt in your Twelfth House of the Subconscious. Don’t let negative thoughts get in the way of your success. Keep your focus on what you want and where you want to go. This spring, make sure to take control of your mind and stay positive to achieve the success you desire.
Leo: This Aries New Moon will transit your Ninth House of Wisdom and Philosophy. You might be inspired to visit foreign lands, to experience different people and their diverse customs. Likewise, you may decide to do a deep dive into some vast subject — philosophy, spirituality, even law. Rest assured, this new moon you’re likely to have itchy feet and experience more than the same books, movies, shows, people, places, and things. It’s time to get out there and explore. It looks like Mars might create some tension when it comes to your expansion, as it transits your Eleventh House of Friends and Wishes. Perhaps you want to go on vacation, but that will have you missing your friends? Or maybe it’s a matter of you have a stronger dream that you need to focus on in order to reach your goals, preventing you from travel or a deep dive into a new subject? There’s a way to make these two life areas harmonize together; perhaps you’ll find new friends in new places and together you all grow in wisdom.
Virgo: The Aries New Moon will transit your Eighth House, which focuses on things like change, new beginnings, and the resources of others. This means you have the opportunity to start fresh during this new moon by letting go of things that no longer serve you or by making changes that will help you transform. It’s important to think about how you want your life to be different and take action to make those changes. Right now, Mars is in your Tenth House, which is all about your career. You may feel some conflict between your desire for emotional growth and your professional goals. It’s important to try and separate your emotions from work situations, so you can make decisions that will not only help you now, but also set you up for success in the future. Think about the future you want and how your career can help you get there. Focus on empowering yourself and making choices that will benefit you in the long run.
Libra: The Aries New Moon will be transiting your Seventh House of Partnerships. This is your chance to nurture the relationships you already have, or perhaps even find new partners that are a great fit for you. The Seventh House pertains to all one-on-one relationships like your spouse, business partner, best friend, and consultants. So make a wish list of what you want in those relationships! However, Mars is transiting your Ninth House of Expansion, which may cause a little chaos. Mars is all about exploration and adventure in the Ninth House, filled with wanderlust and the desire to travel or explore intellectually. This desire needs to harmonize with your partnerships and partnership goals. But don’t worry, you can find balance between these two needs by maintaining a flow and control in your life. So go ahead, dream big and see how you can create a harmonious balance between your thirst for adventure and your desire for healthy partnerships!
Scorpio: The Aries New Moon will be transiting your Sixth House of Lifestyle, which includes things like health, work, diet, fitness, and your daily routines. It’s like going to war for your own well-being, and this new moon is your chance to make some changes. The Sixth House is all about the things we do every day to keep our lives together, and this new beginning can help you create routines that align with your goals for the year. If you’re looking for a new job or need to hire someone, this is a great time to do it! However, Mars is transiting your Eighth House of Others’ Resources, which may cause some issues with boundaries. The key is to make decisions based on the lifestyle you want to have, and find ways to team up with someone to lighten your load or let go of any weak links. Ultimately, the goal is to get your life running smoothly so you can get where you want to go. You got this!
Sagittarius: The Aries New Moon will be transiting your Fifth House, which is all about the things you love, like romance, creativity (including your children, if you have any), and having a good time. This is your chance to go after what really inspires you and brings you joy! Maybe you’ll find a new passion or someone who really lights your fire — the possibilities are endless! However, Mars is in your Seventh House of Partnerships, which can be amazing if your partner is also your source of fun. But if your committed relationship is getting in the way of your good time, it’s time to make an adjustment. Maybe you can find a way to reconcile conflicting aims and make both your relationship and your personal enjoyment a priority. You deserve to have it all! Do what you can to have fun in all that you do; this may take the sting out of any restraints put on you during this time.
Capricorn: The Aries New Moon will be transiting your Fourth House, which is all about your home, family, and emotional well-being. The time is right to lean into whatever feeds your soul and makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. You may decide to incorporate more self-care into your life; you may even move or take measures to make your home more comfortable. Likewise, this is a very good time for you to establish or deepen emotional connections that enrich your life. While there’s a fresh start for you on the home front, Mars in your Sixth House may be causing some challenges in your daily routine. Maybe you’re wishing for more time at home or with your loved ones, but your busy schedule doesn’t allow it. You’ll need to find a way to balance your health, work, duties, routines with your emotional responsibilities and domestic needs. Think about what matters most to you and what would make you happiest, and make an adjustment this spring season to make it happen. You deserve it!
Aquarius: The Aries New Moon will be transiting your Third House, which relates to communication, your daily routine, and how you think. This is the perfect time to work on establishing the right mindset to achieve your goals. You might consider starting a new project that involves writing or using your hands, trying out a new route to work, or even taking a short trip. However, be aware that Mars is currently in your Fifth House, which is all about having fun, being creative, and enjoying romance. While you’re busy with your new communications and projects, you don’t want to neglect the things that bring you joy. It’s important to make time for these things, but be sure to do so when you’re in a good headspace and not feeling too overwhelmed. Overall, this is a great time to focus on your communication skills and get into a positive mindset for achieving your goals. Just remember to balance your work with the things that make you happy, and you’ll be on your way to success!
Pisces: The Aries New Moon will transit your Second House, which relates to your values, self-worth, and finances. This is the perfect opportunity to start working toward achieving your financial goals. Whether it’s money that you want or something else that will make you feel fulfilled, go after it with gusto!
