New Moon in Aries

April 17, 2026

Just Begin

During this New Moon, our purpose and current life direction (Sun) unites with our emotions, memories, and intuition (Moon) in Aries. Aries is the fiery sign of initiating energy. From it we learn to be pioneering, courageous, assertive, and action oriented.  Aries teaches us to trust ourselves. We can learn to begin even if we feel uncertain. 

In addition to the Sun and Moon, we find a powerful stellium of amplified Aries energy:

• Mercury assures us that we can act on our perceptions. 

• Mars gives us the will and the life force to pursue our growth. 

• Saturn supports commitment, integrity, and inner authority. 

• Neptune opens our imagination and spiritual connection. 

• Finally, Chiron unites with our purpose and emotional foundation in courageous Aries, allowing us to face our wounds, learn from them, and use that wisdom to heal others. 

Our purpose, emotions, mind, will, authority, spirituality, and healing are all calling us to act and to embrace who we know we are. 

If ever there was a time to plant seeds for our growth, this is it.  

Reflection:

• Are we emotionally ready to embrace our purpose with courage and intention?
