New Moon in Aries + Partial Solar Eclipse | Saturday, 3/29/25 at 3:58am PT
"Remember, solar eclipses happen on new moons, carrying that potent energy of fresh starts and manifestation. But this one is special— it's the final piece of a larger story that's been unfolding in your life. The Aries-Libra axis has been teaching us about the dance between self and other, independence and partnership, standing alone and coming together.
For those with major planets in Aries or Libra, this eclipse holds extra significance.It's like the universe is giving you one final push toward your authentic truth.What have you learned about yourself over these past two years? What parts of your identity have evolved? How have your relationships transformed as you've stepped more fully into your power?
Use the hours leading up to the eclipse for intentional reflection. Create space to honor how far you've come since April 2023. Journal about the growth you've experienced in your Aries house themes. Maybe that's been about career for some of you, relationships for others, or perhaps it's touched your home life or sense of purpose.
The eclipse peak at 3:47:27 am PT marks a powerful moment for setting intentions. This is when the moon aligns perfectly with the sun, creating a portal for manifestation. Even if you're sleeping during these hours, set your intentions before bed. The universe hears your heart's desires even in dreams. You can also hold an intention-setting ceremony in the morning. The Eclipse energy will be present for 72 hours after the Eclipse."

"On March 29, 2025, the New Moon in Aries arrives like a spark born from darkness, a bold and fiery reset that is calling us to reclaim our will, our voice, and our right to step into our passion and drive. Aries is the archetype who dares to begin before knowing how it will unfold.
This New Moon is not just another lunar cycle, it’s a cosmic ignition that is inviting us to awaken parts of ourselves that have been buried, silenced, or simply waiting for the ‘right moment’ to emerge.
What makes this New Moon even more electric is that it coincides with Mercury retrograding back into 0° of Aries signaling a rare and potent moment for rewriting identity, reworking self-expression, and reclaiming independence from old versions of ourselves.
~Rising Woman
"We know that New Moons represent what resides in darkness waiting to be brought forward into the light. We observe every year as seedlings break ground and quickly put forth all of their vitality in Spring. As such the New Moon in Aries provides us with unparalleled energy. Aries is initiative, action, potential of the raw creative force that is identified with yang. Pair that with the wisdom that resides in the heart and we have the makings of positive and abundant movement. We hitch a ride on the prevailing winds and everything is possible—for all of us equally. Aries is the spiritual warrior. Within this archetype we find no traces of victim mentality that has so encumbered humanity.
Instead we are free to bloom forward the light that radiates from our purist being. We share unconditional love, compassion and joy. Every day becomes an extended smile and upturned palms. Ready to receive and ready to give back out.
Mars, that rules Aries, is at this time in a small talent trine, sextiling Uranus and trine to Saturn, North node, Venus and Neptune. Waves of energy that are evolutionary (Uranus) focused and determined (Saturn), representing collective desire (Venus in Pisces) and with spiritual essence (Neptune).
This energy wave is lent power through the entrance of Neptune on the 30th into Aries. It has been in Pisces for 14 years. To fully understand the meaning of this change read: Jessicadavidson.co.uk."

"Aries enthusiastically cracks open the next phase of living. Aries gladly initiates us into the next phase of facing our fears. Aries cannot sit and wait for something or someone to come along and save the day. Aries cannot wait for permission. Aries cannot wait period.
Aries is impulsive, impetuous, impatient and up for a challenge. Pushing through the inertia of the dead cold of winter, Aries is first to rush in reminding us that there is always another chance at life. Aries bears the spirit and signature of renewal. Sometimes butting heads like its symbol the ram, Aries needs to engage with what is challenging, what is stressful, what has never been done before. Aries wants to be first and needs the freedom to break out and lead the pack.
Spring has sprung and this new moon is the official start to the lunar year. The spring equinox on March 20th was the official start of the solar year, so this new moon is like a secondary opener. We need new moons to release the energy contained in each sign. By sign this new moon is conjunct Uranus, encouraging us to break with tradition and innovate our activities.
We can use this new moon to begin something new in our lives with courage, with enthusiasm, and with a belief in our ability to follow the golden threads that lay before us. Golden threads come in the form of hunches, inclination and signs. Golden threads are like pathways laid down before we got here by our souls. Hidden tracks strewn with rewards. Trails to our tender hearts’ greatest desires."

Spring Intentions: Aries New Moon Ritual
“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”
~Rainer Maria Rilke
The Aries New Moon ignites bold new beginnings, the Spring season awakens fresh energy, and the power of a partial solar eclipse encourages deep transformation. This is a potent time to release old limitations and set fearless intentions for the season ahead. Aries, ruled by Mars, is the sign of courage, action, and self-discovery, making this ritual one of empowerment and initiation.
1. Ignite Your Inner Fire
Since Aries energy thrives on movement, start with a physical practice to activate your energy:
- Do a few rounds of breathwork (Kapalabhati or Lion’s Breath) to awaken your inner fire.
- Dance, shake, or move your body freely to break stagnant energy.
- If you prefer stillness, visualize a bright flame in your solar plexus (just above your navel), growing stronger with each inhale.
Say aloud:
"I call upon the fire within me. I welcome this new cycle with courage and clarity."
2. Set Intentions
On a piece of paper, write at least three powerful intentions that align with your highest self. Aries energy asks you to be fearless and direct—so dream big!
Examples:
- I embrace my true power and take action toward my goals.
- I release fear and step into my purpose with confidence.
- I trust my instincts and follow my heart unapologetically.
3. Eclipse Release & Transformation
Since eclipses mark endings and beginnings, reflect on what must be released to make space for your intentions. On the back of your paper, write down what you’re ready to let go of—self-doubt, old habits, or limiting beliefs.
Burn the release list (safely in a fireproof bowl) or tear it up and bury it in the earth. As you do, say:
"I release all that no longer serves me. I welcome transformation and renewal."
4. Plant & Anchor Your Intentions
Since Spring is a time of growth, take a symbolic action to anchor your intentions:
- Plant a seed or small plant while visualizing your dreams coming to life.
- Anoint a candle with essential oils and light it while focusing on your goals.
- Hold a crystal and charge it with your intentions, keeping it near your workspace or altar.
Say aloud:
"My intentions are set. I am ready. I trust the unfolding of my path."
6. Closing & Integration
To complete the ritual, place your hands over your heart and take a deep breath to ground yourself.
As you move forward, embody the bravery and boldness of Aries, taking one inspired action toward your intention in the coming days. The time is now.
