New Moon in Aries with Solar Eclipse – March 29, 2025
We’re in the thick of Eclipse Season with the New Moon in Aries and a Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025. The New Moon occurs in the early hours of the morning – just before 6 am on the East Coast and around 3 am Pacific Time. As you start your day, it’s also the beginning of a new cycle for our moon. This eclipse marks the culmination of a cycle that began in April 2023, when we started the Aries-Libra Eclipse cycle, which we’re completing this month.
This axis has been helping us learn what’s most important to us, as well as the balance between what we want and what our partnerships and relationships require. It’s also about recalibrating what it means to be an individual while being a part of the collective.
What was life like for you two years ago? If you’re like me, you’ll need to pull out your old planners and diaries to check that out, but it’s worth the effort. This cycle has been guiding us to evolve into the people we are today, especially when it comes to our identity and relationships.
If you have significant Aries or Cancer placements (think Sun or Rising), you’re entering a period of approximately seven months where you’ll become “famous” for who you're and what you do. That’s good news if you want to step into the spotlight. If you don’t want the attention, then think about the people and causes you can help promote. Who can you support on your platforms and in conversations? People will be tuning into your words and actions over the next several months, so make the most of it!
As for all that hard work you’ve been putting in over the past 24 months? It’s all going to start paying off! So be sure to celebrate good news and the victories as they come. This goes for all signs because we’re all hurtling through space on the same rock together, and the vibes have been intense!
If you really want to dive into this cycle and gain insight into how it’s affected you personally, check your chart for where your Aries and Libra placements lie. You’ll probably connect some dots when you do!
Mercury and Venus are still on their retrograde B.S., so watch out for miscommunications, especially as Mercury moves from Aries (Action! Courage! Impulse!) to Pisces (Intuition & feelings) in the next couple of weeks.
So, for this New Moon, set intentions to get shit done, follow through with your plans, and look for opportunities to step fully into your courage.
Horoscopes for the New Moon in Aries
Aries: If you’ve been on the struggle bus – or putting in a lot of focus on self-transformation – for the past couple of years, you’re about to get a break. This is your final cosmic reminder to step into the person you are meant to be – the new, improved, and more powerful version of yourself and rule your kingdom (or queendom!).
Taurus: Have you felt like something has been holding you back these past two years? Like you’ve gotten through so much, but there’s just one more domino that needs to fall for you to get on with your life and passions? This is it! When setting your New Moon intentions, focus on stepping into the new version of yourself without anything holding you back.
Gemini: Community and collaboration have been significant themes for you over the past two years, and now it’s time to reap the benefits of those efforts. This New Moon will provide the final boost you need to launch yourself into an inspiring new opportunity, team, or even a new career.
Cancer: The skies are clearing, and you’re finally able to see your next steps with crystal clarity. Your professional trajectory is about to receive a significant boost, and you may find yourself surprised by a direction shift that will alter the course of your career. Be on the lookout for old ideas and plans that you didn’t follow through on. If they resurface, journal about them before taking any action.
Leo: Adventure is calling! With this New Moon and eclipse landing in your ninth house – the house of travel and expansion – you’ll feel the promptings to finally schedule that retreat or vacation you’ve been thinking about. This expansion also reflects an inner transformation that has occurred over the past several months, with a shift in your perspective and/or philosophy on life.
Virgo: You may have experienced some emotional whiplash over the past couple of years as your relationships and perspective on partnerships have been shaken to their core. This New Moon is the invitation to reflect on how far you’ve come and look ahead at the beautiful relationships that have solidified around you. These are your people – lean on them when you need to!
Libra: This New Moon is happening in your seventh house of one-on-one relationships, so you and your bestie, you and your partner, etc. There have probably been some transitions in a key relationship since spring 2023, and now is the time to move forward or let it go. It’s time to commit, release, or start again – you get to decide.
Scorpio: Everything from your day-to-day activities, self-care habits, and work situations has been crazy over the past two years. But now we’re at the culmination of all that back-and-forth nonsense (spoiler alert: it wasn’t nonsense, just the Universe working for you!). You’ll see a major shift in one of these areas of your life, and you’ll finally be able to move forward.
Sagittarius: The past couple of years have been one of creative evolution. You’ve had the opportunity to stretch into your personal passions and get more creative – on paper, in your home, and even in the bedroom. That decision you’ve been putting off? Yep, it’s coming to a conclusion with this New Moon, and Aries is here to help you navigate it with courage.
Capricorn: Your roots, home life, and emotional security have been on a rollercoaster ride since 2023, and you’re understandably ready for things to settle down. With this New Moon, that ride is coming to an end, and the New Moon will reveal something that needs to change in your home life.
Aquarius: I bet you speak and present yourself totally differently than you did in April 2023. This is your time for a big announcement, huge mental/emotional alignment, or life-changing contract to come in. Your personal brand has definitely evolved, and you have the chance to shine this year!
Pisces: This New Moon will highlight all the changes you’ve gone through to become the beautiful person you are today. Your personal values have shifted, and so too have your ideas about money and personal security. You’ll finally be able to say yes to yourself and a new career opportunity without feeling insecure about it or overthinking it.
A final note about the Eclipse: While practicing magick during an eclipse is a highly debated topic, what really matters is how you’re vibing with the moon during an eclipse. If you want to set intentions or cast spells, go for it! If not, it’s ok to wait until after the eclipse to do your thing. Remember, YOU are the magick.
Happy New Moon, witches!
