It’s an exciting time as the official start of spring enters the northern hemisphere with the vernal equinox, aka the “spring equinox,” accompanied by a super new moon in the sign of Aries. According to astrologers, when the sun moves into the sign of Aries, it marks the start of the astrological new year because astrology follows the lunar calendar, not the 365-day Gregorian calendar that is most commonly used day-to-day. For 2023, the spring equinox is March 20th, followed by the new moon in Aries on March 21st.

In astrology, Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, which is known as the planet of fire, war, competition, and aggression. During this lunation, energies that may arise include the release of pent-up emotions, so be extra mindful to pause and think before communicating. With Aries currently ending in the last degree of Gemini, it has formed a unique conjunction with Polaris, the stationary star also known as the North Star. Energetically speaking, some inner conflict may well up and you may notice some interesting polarities between what is showing up in your present reality and closing the gap between where you’re at and where you want to be to fulfill your dreams and goals. The North Star’s energy is the guiding light that is shining on us, asking who or what is guiding your North Star? It asks, are you allowing the thoughts and opinions of others to guide your decision-making? Take some time to meditate into your heart center, where your true knowing is, and get back in touch with yourself and make any adjustments that need to be made to be living life more authentically. For those who are empathic, psychic, and energetically sensitive, the conjunction may induce some interesting dreams, and become aware of other realities, and the polarity between this dimension (5D), with other dimensions happening simultaneously.

Energetically, the new moon in Aries with the spring equinox is the perfect time to align with what is most important to you, and release anything that no longer serves you. This is big-time “spring cleaning” energy! Take the time for a proper cleanout on all levels: physically (clutter, clothes, etc.), emotionally (people, things, situations, etc.), spiritually (clear your chakras, aura, crystals), to create the space for something new and more aligned to enter your life. This cleansing process will pay off in a big way, assisting you with brightening your energy and strengthening your magnetism to supercharge your manifestations.

If I were to pick one tarot card to represent the Aries new moon energy with the spring equinox, it would be the Magician. This archetypical energy coming through this conjunction is the energy that is going to set you up for success for the rest of the year. It’s important to be very clear and precise with what you want to manifest in your life at this time. Spend some time in meditation, write in your journal, and plan out with specifity what you want to call into your life. Whether that’s a new job, or more abundance, be very clear with your intentions. What does this new job look like? What’s your desired salary? What does your daily routine with this job look like? What is your relationship like with your boss and coworkers? How does this job make you feel? What does your work-life balance look like? Get very clear because that is exactly what is going to show up!

Additionally, if the past few seasons have felt like you had your a$$ kicked, the spring equinox and new moon together retire the energies of suffering, bringing a much-needed uplifting, rejuvenating energy, flowing in joy and happiness.
