New Moon in Aries
Friday, April 17th at 05:51 (mtn)
New Moons are times of fresh starts and new beginnings. It’s a period of time for expansive energy and for allowing yourself to be open to new opportunities. This new moon brings even more insight into how you can fully step into your authenticity. Give yourself permission to be the most ‘you’ that you can be.
This is the second new moon in Aries in 2026. Aries is the sign all about the self and starting over. Allow this new moon to give you the courage that you need to start again and to walk down your own true path. Experiment by doing. Release overthinking. Learn by just throwing yourself into whatever you are curious about. What is the worst that can happen? This is a time of action. Act!
New moons are DARK. They show the sky as the blank canvas that is your life. Look up and see the vast possibilities that you get to create. What do you want to paint and envision for your life? You are the artist behind the paintbrush, the one in control of the art and the energy that you are putting out.
It’s powerful to have two new moons in the sign of beginnings and self. This period is asking you to be courageous enough to be authentically and unapologetically you. What are your craving for your life? What are you ready to welcome in?
Aries is a Cardinal fire sign, meaning that this sign starts the season. They are all about passion, momentum, adventure, and beginning anew. The sign is the Ram - think of Aries season as a newborn lamb, ready to run and wobble their way through the world. They will do so with all the confidence and without overthinking and just go for it. Fake it until you make it.
It’s the season of momentum. It’s the season of fresh starts. Use this energy to begin your life. Use this energy to be authentically you. Use this energy to release any limiting beliefs that stop you from being true to yourself. Be strong enough to be cringe. What even is cringe, anyways?
Be courageous to ask yourself what you want in this life. Be courageous enough to admit it to the Universe and ask for exactly what you want. Remember: The universe doesn’t have a budget and wants to support you in leading your dream life. How can you show up for yourself and take the action that you need to?
ALIGNED ACTION
Go for a walk in nature. Look at the flowers and the life that is bursting all around you. Spring has officially sprung and the earth is coming alive. Go for a walk in silence. Observe the colors. Listen to the birds. Hear their songs. Smell the fresh air. Revel in the life that continues to come, year after year, through all the hardships and environments. Notice the flowers that make it through the cold nights to bloom in the sunny days. Stand in the freezing cold river, or any water that you can find. Keep your eyes out for baby ducks. Observe. So often we are hurrying through our day, not seeing what is around us. Challenge yourself to pick something out for every single color of the rainbow. Move slowly. Practice smiling and saying hi to all the life that you see bursting. Remember that they deserve to be welcomed, too.
