Aries New Moon - A Time of Renewal and Reveals

 


Friends, light workers, starseeds and  evolving souls,this upcoming New Moon on April 17th is probably the most important New Moon of 2026.  



After Mars entered Aries on April 9th a profound shift occurred for all of us.  Mars the ruler of Aries entered his home sign the first time since the  Neptune/Saturn conjunction on February 20th.  Adding to the  flames this  was the  same day the year  of the Fire Horse began.   Since then the universe has told us to stop thinking and start moving our ass. That Mercury retrograde in Pisces didn't help clear out the fog even when it ended on March  20th the Equinox.  No, we have also had  to contend with Mars also in confusing, frantic, even delusional in the  sign of the two fishes. (We have already seen how screwed up things have got for everyone since  the February 27th attack on Iran with the Moon VOC, Mars square Uranus and Mercury just starting his retrograde journey.). 

You saw the chart in my April Forecast, the one below 

Now lets dig in to this historic Aries alignment - in the end Aries is about the New, Renewal and ...

Before you leap too fast, remember we have a cosmic pile up  this  Friday the 17th: 
  • Neptune (dreams, illusions)
  • Mercury (thinking, messaging too fast)
  • Mars (action, aggression)
  • Saturn (pressure, limits, reality check)
  • Chiron (wounds + healing)
  • Eris (chaos, disruption)
  • Sun + Moon (the reset button)
  • Your thoughts, actions, fears, dreams, wounds, and destiny are all arguing in the same room… and Aries locked the door and said:

    “Nobody leaves until something changes.”

    This New Moon feels like:

    • You tried to “manifest peacefully”…
    • But Aries said: “Cool story bro. We’re doing it through pressure and bold moves instead.”

    It’s like the universe turned your life into an action movie, but you thought you signed up for a Vipassana Retreat focussed on silent meditation .

    This isn’t subtle spiritual growth.  This can feel like a wake up call with a side of  brutal clarity...thanks Mercury and Saturn conjunct when you suddenly see:

    • what’s not working
    • where you’ve been passive
    • where you’ve been lying to yourself

    And it’s not gentle. It’s like:

    “Oh… THAT’S why my life feels stuck.” Having Sedna in Gemini  in the 3rd house tends to keep that feeling of being mired in quicksand uppermost in our mind.  The good news is that Sedna conjunct the Pleiades and trine Neptune wants us  to co-create with our Galactic helpers including the Pleiadians. 

    Time for that Spiritual Wake-Up Slap (Neptune in Aries

    Normally Neptune is dreamy. Not here.

    Here it says:

    “You want a spiritual life? Then ACT like it.”

    No more slacking or prograstination:

    • waiting
    • hoping
    • “I’ll do it later”

    This is spirituality with the stick, teeth, claws and real motivations.

    Old Wounds Will Get Triggered… Fast (Chiron + Eris)

    Chiron is a sage, the Centaur with the sharpest most accurate arrows to find your deepest wounds. 


    With the wounded healer stuff comes up like:

    • those old feelings of anger
    • rejection even abandonment
    • feeling overlooked or dismissed

    So here’s the paradoxical twist with Eris in the mix.  She is the Goddess of discord and truth telling. 


     She's not coming up to hurt you
    She is  here to force you to stop shrinking and to speak out.

    The Big Pattern: “Pressure Creates Movement”

    You’ve got a Grand Cardinal Cross (Aries–Libra–Capricorn tension). Both Quaoar and Ixion (the breaker of boundaries) are in the sign of the Seagoat.

    Translation into simple terms. 

    You feel pulled between:

    • Me vs. Others (Aries vs Libra)
    • Freedom vs Responsibility (Aries vs Capricorn)

    It’s like:

    “Do I follow my truth… or keep everyone comfortable?”

    This New Moon says:

    You don’t get to avoid that question anymore.

    The Wild Card: Relationships + Power Plays

    • Makemake in Libra (relationships, agreements)
    • Opposing Salacia in Aries (raw emotional truth and sharp insights)

    Time to expect:

    • relationship truths surfacing
    • imbalance becoming obvious
    • people either stepping up… or stepping out

    Plus:

    • Pluto + Juno in Aquarius = power dynamics exposed in relationships. 

    You’ll see clearly:

    who supports your evolution… and who drains it

    The Hidden Gift in New Moon

    The Sun & Moon are trine the Galactic Center.

    That’s not small.

    It means:

    This chaos is aligned with your higher path.

    Even if it feels messy, rushed, or uncomfortable…

    You’re being aimed somewhere bigger.

    The Mystic Rectangle (Our Secret Advantage)

    Despite the chaos, there’s a stabilizing pattern:

    Mars + Saturn (Aries)
    Makemake (Libra)
    Pluto/Juno (Aquarius)
    Varuna (Leo)

    This translates to how if you:

    • stay focused
    • act with intention
    • don’t react emotionally

    You can turn this chaos into:

    • strategic moves
    • long-term wins
    • powerful positioning

     What Changes Between Now and the Scorpio Full Moon (May 1)

    This is a two-week storyline:

    Week 1 (right after New Moon):

    • pressure builds
    • emotions spike
    • decisions feel urgent

    Week 2 (approaching Scorpio Full Moon):

    • truth surfaces
    • secrets exposed
    • emotional breakthroughs

    By the Full Moon, you’ll see:

    what this was all about
    and what you can’t go back to anymore

    Real Talk: What You Should Actually Do

    Don’t over-spiritualize this. That’s how people waste this energy.

    Do this instead:

    1. Make one bold move
    Not ten. One.
    Something you’ve been avoiding.

    2. Say the thing
    Have the conversation.
    Set the boundary.
    Send the message.

    3. Stop waiting for clarity
    This energy rewards action first, clarity second.

    Final Summary (Straight, no BS)

    This New Moon is not here to comfort you.

    It’s here to:

    • wake you up
    • move you forward
    • and cut through your hesitation

    If you lean into it?  You are aligned with momentum, direction, and power.

    If you resist it? You’ll feel overwhelmed, reactive, and stuck in conflict. 

    On a the Geocosmic level, being grounded in your heart of hearts is paramount now. Conflagrations could start with the smallest spark. It is likely that earthquakes and volcanoes will be rumbling during the next two weeks. A time to be on alert.k 

    On another subject - gardening, growing food and preparing...This New Moon is the ideal time to start seeds for the summer. All crops that grow above ground from peppers, tomatoes, corn, squash both summer and winter will do better when started during this period.
