The New Moon In Aries Wants You To Let Go & Welcome A Fresh Start
The new moon in Aries will be the ultimate new beginning, bringing exciting opportunities for renewal and a surge of active energy that will get you back on the right track — but this is only half the story. The new moon in Aries on April 1, 2022, will conjunct Chiron, an asteroid nicknamed the wounded healer, which will cause your deepest identity wounds (insecurity, negative comparison, and defensiveness) to play a part in the new experiences that are heading your way. Chiron conjunct the new moon could bring about new opportunities which are a replication of the past — only, you won’t notice this if you run into them blindly and impulsively.
Don't Rush To Get Ahead
This new moon will motivate you to observe whether you’re carrying old feelings into new situations. Your instinctual and unconscious reactions will tell you a lot about where you still have healing to do and where you’ve swept your feelings under the rug. Notice how your subconscious emotions are blocking your ability to be courageous, optimistic, and radically self-accepting. Consider if you’re chasing particular experiences out of fear or jealousy, as these are unhealthy motivations that will only fuel your inner dissatisfaction. The Aries new moon will remind you that you can’t rush the timeline of your life and skip to the good parts. So long as you neglect your well-being and the shadows of your subconscious mind, you will continue to attract the same experiences until you can break the pattern of your mindset and behavior.
Observe Your Arising Feelings
Mercury will also conjunct the new moon and Chiron in Aries, bringing your mindset into the equation. This Mercurial influence will cause your ego to drive conversations, triggering insecurities such as feeling misunderstood or feeling fearful of not having a clearly defined opinion. Notice when you take on a ‘right or wrong’, ‘all or nothing’ attitude, or when your self-protective instincts and attachment to your ideas are causing rifts in discussions.
You must practice releasing the past before manifesting new experiences under this lunation. Avoid any manifestation practices altogether on April 1 and focus on cutting cords that physically, energetically, and emotionally tie you to the past. What’s important is that you strengthen your self-awareness and ability to call attention to your behavior that doesn’t serve you well. Once you’re truly ready to embrace a fresh start without the restraints of your past, April 2 will be the perfect day for you to harness the new and put your plans for the month ahead into action.
