At 2:24 pm is the New Moon in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. Aries is all about self-leadership, self-initiation, courage, confidence, determination, and passion.
Most astrologers say that the New Moon in Aries is a powerful combination for a fresh start. Intuitive Astrology explains, “As the New Moon brings the start of a new lunar cycle, it is also about beginnings. This combination of energy makes the Aries New Moon one of the best opportunities in the year for thinking about what new beginnings or new chapters we wish to start in our lives.”
So today, this New Moon period will send waves of energy that will allow us to take the initiative, to take action. This is a perfect time to start over with a clean slate. It is essential to lay a firm foundation at the beginning of this new cycle to set the tone for how you want this astrological year to unfold.

Tune in and ask: What would I like to bring into my life this year?
There are so many things you can do! You can focus on each aspect of your life: health (mental, emotional, physical), projects, career, finances, romantic relations, family, habits, personality, health, beauty.
Write down your intentions at 2:24 pm, within the ten hours after the New Moon. When you write, start with “I intend….” For example, I intend to wake up at six, practice an hour of yoga every morning, or I intend to move out of my childhood home and start living in my own place within a year.
The Japanese astrologer, Keiko, says that these top 3 intentions are likely to come true with an Aries new moon: I intend for my new life to begin brightly this very day. I intend to embrace every opportunity and be brave enough to challenge myself. I intend to carve out my own chosen path without being swayed by others.
I’m sharing a meditation that we did last night in the Eve of the New Moon in Aries class to help you see things from a higher perspective and open your awareness to new ways of thinking.
It is said that in 72-hours, this meditation will show its effect. You will wake up from sleep, and problems will start being answered for you without doing a thing.
Here’s how to do it:
Sit in Easy Pose (or chair) with a straight spine, chin in, and chest out. Balance yourself effectively on your hips, ensuring that the pelvic bone holds the weight evenly. Use your thumb to press your pinkie finger and extend the other three fingers straight. Rest the outside base of the hands on the knees, fingers pointing forward and slightly down, and palms parallel. Focus your gaze on the tip of your nose. Curl your tongue inside your throat as much as you can and pull it hard. Continue with a steady and solid pull on the tongue for 11 minutes. After inhale deeply, hold your breath for 20-25 seconds, pull the tongue with force and synchronize that pull with tightening every muscle in the body. Exhale and repeat two more times.
As always, seize the energy of this New Moon in Aries. May you bloom (or continue to bloom) into your true potential.
In loving service,
