Astrology has a unique way of inviting us into new beginnings, and during this new moon solar eclipse in Aries, it's offering an exhilarating opportunity for transformation. Eclipses are often seen as gateways, bringing moments of clarity and much needed change. The upcoming eclipse, occurring on March 29, 2025, will ignite a deep desire within us to chase our passions and embrace our desires with confidence.
Mercury, which is in retrograde motion at this eclipse, changes signs on the same day and enters Pisces. This combination could bring a substantial creative force to your life and projects, or perhaps confusion, dreaminess and an urge to escape the heavy energy. Do whatever feels right to you but keep in mind, any sign retrograde in Pisces will slow you down for a reason...so think things through before you act or speak. And as always, prepare for delays when traveling.
What is a Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the Sun. This particular event is a partial eclipse and will be visible in parts of the UK, Canada and the US. It can create a temporary darkness during daylight and symbolically unveil hidden aspects of ourselves and lives that have been ignored or where we have struggled to make change. Solar eclipses always align with new moons, signaling moments for fresh starts with accelerated movement.
This solar eclipse in Aries is particularly powerful because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac which represents our personality and outward way of responding to stimuli. Aries is known as the kickoff to the astrological year, marked by themes of courage and initiation. This is your chance to push forward boldly into new adventures...like it or not!
The Energy of Aries
Aries, a fire sign, represents passion, determination, and a zest for life. Aries invites us to break free from our comfort zones. For example, during this new moon solar eclipse, you might feel a powerful urge to switch careers...perhaps moving from a stable job to pursuing that long-dreamed-of artistic endeavor. Where ever this Eclipse occurs in your chart will give you a heads up as to which part of your life it will affect the most.

Mars, the ruler of Aries infuses us with high energy and motivation, but Mars has been retrograde since December 6, 2024. It was in Leo and then transited back into Cancer, a water sign that doesn't always blend well with this planet. Mars is all about being first and foremost while Cancer would rather think about how it feels before acting. This could potentially be good if you are making quick decisions based on feelings and logic, but not so much if you become angered or impatient with a situation not going your way. You could make a decision that later you regret when Mars stations direct, which it did on February 23, 2025. Now that Mars is going forward, the nurturing Cancer energy can accomplish a great deal as long as emotions are kept in check. Mars will enter Leo on April 18, 2025 again and will get back to regular full force where it will remain until mid June 2025. In Leo, Mars is very comfortable and wants to accomplish all those things he tried to initiate back in December before it turned retrograde. So, if you're a Leo don't fret...I know things have been challenging (Leo here!) and soon we will get back in our groove and have that powerful Mars energy back in our court moving everything forward. That will be true for all other signs as well!
Set Your Intentions
New Moons are ideal for setting intentions and eclipses triple that power. Take this opportunity to clarify what you truly desire. Reflect on your dreams...what are you passionate about? Now is the time to initiate changes in your life that will extend through the next 6 months. That's how long New Moons carry that creative energy and in any Eclipse season they have an extra powerful boost for manifesting.
Starting a journal and writing down your intentions, and being as specific as you can about what you want will help bring about changes you wish to initiate. Visualizing the outcome, as if it is already happening, will help you manifest your desires under the intense Aries energy.
Embrace Change
Change is almost guaranteed during eclipses, and in Aries there is no exception. You may encounter unexpected opportunities or face challenges that require you to reevaluate your current path and this Eclipse time period is especially powerful for people born under the Aries zodiac sign. Big changes are in store for Aries born individuals and they will be able to accomplish what they intend by staying true to their fiery nature and staying open to new experiences. This is true for every sign, but much more powerful for the lovely rams!
Trust Your Instincts
As Aries encourages an instinctual approach, now is the time to trust your gut feelings. If an opportunity arises...a new job or a chance to connect with someone inspiring...follow that intuition...it could open doors you never considered!
This period serves as a powerful reminder to honor your true self and to follow the path that feels right for you.
Harnessing the Energy
To fully embrace this new moon solar eclipse, consider engaging in some rituals that align with its energy. Here are some effective practices:
Meditate: Dedicate time to reflect quietly on your intentions and visualize your goals.
Affirmations: Create a list of positive statements that resonate with your aspirations. Reading these aloud daily can help you maintain focus and enthusiasm.
By incorporating these practices, you align yourself with the potent energy of the eclipse, helping you to confidently release your desires into the universe.
Embracing the Cosmic Shift
The new moon solar eclipse in Aries opens the door to transformative experiences. It invites you to tap into your passions, trust your instincts, and welcome the changes that come your way.
Stay open to new possibilities. By harnessing the fiery energy of Aries, you can embark on an exciting new path filled with adventures and growth.
