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.
