New Moon in Aries Ritual Guide
Like a new year, each New Moon comes with new beginnings and so much energetic potential. This Aries Moon is the newest of new moons being the first of the astrological calendar. A potent time for fresh starts, for manifesting our heart’s desires, a time to be courageous, and to step into your power and take action.
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac it rules the first house - the house of the self, this sign’s energy reminds us that it is ok to put ourselves first and pursue our dreams and desires. It’s important that we show up for ourselves first, and then we can show up for others in our highest potential.
Fiery Aries is abundant and passionate energy. Ruled by Mars, the planet of action, Aries New Moon provides us with direction, focus and a new lease of life of active optimism. It’s time to take action. It’s time to plant seeds of change for the future and the year ahead…
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but the seeds you plant.”
What do you want to call in for the next astrological year?
Sometimes there are obstacles that we need to overcome so that we can live the life we want to create, sometimes these obstacles are ones we’ve created for ourselves and in order to break through we need to let go of any limiting beliefs.
Follow our step by step guide below to manifest your deepest desires.
Firstly, start with letting go of any stagnant or negative energy. Release anything that no longer serves you so you can move forward with your intentions. Start by standing with fists clenched and hold them shut for 10 seconds, inhaling and exhaling deeply, then release and shake out your body.
Make yourself comfortable, grab cushions, blankets and your journal. It’s now time to create your astrological action plan for the next 12 months.
Close your eyes down and imagine what it would feel like a year from now, living the life you desire. Where are you? What are you doing? Now spend some time imagining and visualising each month from now, bringing you a step closer to your dream life. What will each month bring? What are you looking forward to in Taurus season next month? What ideas do you hope to have in Gemini season? How will Cancer season feel? What about Leo season, what summery fun will you have? Virgo season will bring which creative projects for you? Who will you spend time with during Libra season? Will you have time for spirituality in Scorpio season? Will Sagittarius bring adventure in November? Will Capricorn Season bring you plans and projects in January? By Aquarius season what will you be learning about yourself? What dreamy things will happen in Pisces season next March?
Take a few deep breaths imagining what life would feel like a year from now, if all your dreams and desires come true.
Grab your journal and take some time in journaling practice with these prompts...
What do you most want for your life?
If you had no fears, and you couldn’t fail what would you do?
What would it feel like to live the life you desire?
What would a perfect day in this life look like?
Where would you be? Who is around you?
What is blocking you from having this life for yourself?
What would you do differently if these blocks were not there?
What simple action can you take next to get you a little closer to this life you desire?
Take some time to write a letter from your future self to your present self. Write as if you were 12 months from now explaining to your present self all the incredible and wonderful things that have happened for you. Sign off the letter telling your present self not to be fearful and that everything will all work out exactly as you hope.
Finally, take a cinnamon stick (for blessings) and use this to perform a smoke cleanse, lighting the stick (and opening a window for ventilation) speak these words into the smoke:
“ On this Aries New Moon I manifest the life I desire, I let go of fears and I call in the courage to overcome the obstacles in my path, I am worthy of great things.”
If you don’t have a cinnamon stick you can use incense or other herbs such as sage.
When we harness the potent power of a New Moon we are reminded that we are able to call into our lives anything we wish. Remember you are the magick, just be clear on what you want, your energy will attract it to you.
