ARIES NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE LUNASCOPE

ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS
Saturday 29th March 2025
Eclipse - 10:57 (GMT)

We are currently in an eclipse window, a period that naturally amplifies energy and intensity across the planet.

As the Moon wanes towards the Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse this Saturday, emotions and tempers may be heightened. It’s wise to stay grounded, avoid unnecessary drama, and step back from arguments that could escalate.

The more clearly you know your own boundaries, the easier it becomes to walk away from toxic dynamics, or to find compassion and forgiveness for those displaying narcissistic or aggressive behaviour.

This Aries New Moon turns the spotlight inward, inviting us to focus on what we truly need and want in our lives. It’s a potent moment to reconnect with your desires, clarify your dreams and visions, and reignite your inner fire.

It’s also a significant cosmic moment. This eclipse marks the end of the Aries–Libra eclipse cycle, a series of six eclipses that began in 2023. It directly echoes the Libra New Moon eclipse from October 2024, creating a moment of closure and potential for breakthrough.

Being the first New Moon of the zodiac calendar, Aries brings the fire of fresh starts. As this eclipse cycle ends, we’re being given the momentum to begin again, but this time, stronger in our self-belief and more ready to move through resistance.

This is a powerful time for integration, reflection, and perspective.

Ask yourself:

Where were you in April 2023, when this eclipse cycle began?
What started then, or what shifted?
Is something now coming to a natural conclusion?
How much have you changed in the last two years?

A similar solar eclipse occurred at almost the same degree of Aries on 29th March 2006. Look back to that time. What was stirring in your life?

For me that was the moment I launched my first company, Hemp Global Solutions Ltd, and began my journey into industrial hemp. It was a time of bold decisions and new beginnings.

This Aries New Moon is similarly charged. It’s motivating many of us to initiate change, whether that means launching a new project, setting up a business, or finally stepping away from what no longer serves us. It invites us to act from our truth, reclaim our voice, and take the first brave steps toward a new chapter.

We’re also supported by the partial solar eclipse that encourages clarity, moral strength, and innovation. It helps us define what we stand for, and step into it with purpose and confidence.

Astrologically, Mars, ruler of Aries, is forming supportive alignments with both Saturn and Uranus. Saturn provides the focus and resilience needed to move through old blocks. Uranus brings flashes of insight and the energy to break free from outdated patterns. Together, they offer us a stable yet inspired foundation to move forward.

It’s a time to assert yourself, claim your space, and take ownership of your life, as this eclipse also helps us be more direct, honest, and courageous.

Just be mindful that Venus and Mercury are both still in retrograde, so things may feel more impulsive than they are. Not everything that glitters is gold when Mercury and Venus are in reverse.

Check in with yourself before leaping. Look at the details, feel it in your body, and take aligned action rather than rushing in.

Still, this Aries New Moon eclipse offers us an open doorway to trust in the unknown, reconnect with our purpose, and step forward with courage.

If things need to change, taking time to connect with the New Moon during this phase will also help to manage the cosmic energies, focus your intention, and seed new beginnings.

NEW MOON RITUAL

A shamanic exercise to help you stay connected - the New Moon energy is potent the day before, the day of the Full Moon, and the day after.

This is a powerful Ritual to harness the energy of the Aries New Moon Eclipse.

Begin by clearing your space of any clutter and creating a clean and sacred area to work in. You can use Sage, Palo Santo, or other cleansing herbs to cleanse the space and create a peaceful atmosphere.

Sitting in a comfortable position with your back straight, or lying down, close your eyes and become aware of your body.

Place your attention at the top of your head, and then feel a warm, calm energy flowing down your face, across your shoulders and down your arms, and into your hands. Bring your attention to the throat and feel the warm calm energy flowing all the way down to your hips.

Bring your attention back to the top of the head and feel this warm calm energy flow down the back of the head into the neck, down the back and the spine, and into the pelvis. Then feel it flowing down the legs, and calves, into the feet and toes.

Inhale three times, and as you exhale release any stress, tension and frustration you find, simply breathing it out of your body. Repeat this process until you feel relaxed and stress free.

Once you are feeling relaxed and peaceful, and your mind is calm, think about what you want to manifest during this Aries New Moon. This can be a goal or an area of your life that you want to focus on, such as a new project, a new relationship, or personal growth.

Light a red or orange candle to represent the fire energy of Aries. As you light the candle, focus on your intention, and visualize it coming to fruition. Sit quietly with your candle and focus on your breath.

Imagine yourself surrounded by a sphere of white light, protecting and guiding you through your intention. Allow yourself to feel the energy of the Aries New Moon and its power to help you achieve your goals.

In this sacred place, can you hear any messages coming from your intuition that is guiding you to take action.

Write down your intention on a piece of paper. Be specific about what you want to achieve and how you will accomplish it. Visualize your intention becoming a reality as you write it down.

When you are finished, burn the paper in the flame of the candle, releasing your intention into the universe. As you watch the paper burn, visualize your intention manifesting and coming to fruition.

Give thanks to the universe, your guides, and your higher self for the guidance and support you have received. Close your ritual with a deep breath and feel the power of the Aries New Moon within you.

Trust your intuition and follow your heart for the next lunar cycle, and let the energy of the Aries New Moon eclipse guide you.
