I'm having a relapse of whatever microbial ickiness took me out a week or so ago and am just not up to writing a proper article about tomorrow's New Moon in Aries. As usual, I turn to Cafe Astrology for the best analysis of the importance of this particular lunation:

On Tuesday morning, a new cycle begins. The Pisces New Moon cycle ends and the Aries New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Aries is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Ram. It's time to take action—try something new and innovative, and go at it with gusto and confidence; be assertive without being abrasive; take charge of our lives; start a brand new project; and discover our own personal courage. This is a good cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship to ourselves. With this potent Aries energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

This month's New Moon is supported by a trine from Pluto, adding purposefulness to our new beginnings. Starting a new fitness routine, kicking a bad habit, or anything that requires willpower is more likely to enjoy success. Our attitude now is that the old must now make way for the new. This is a time to engage in some sort of transformation in which we weed out the bad in order to more effectively use the good. It's time to make some solid yet realistic plans, and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks' time after the Full Moon occurs.

In fact, the Moon, Sun, and four planets - Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto - are all in fire signs. There is so much energy to support us right now, why not take a risk and try something new?

Spell Work

If you have any banishing spells you want to do, use the power of the witching hour to do them tonight, using the last of the Moon's Waning energy before the New Moon begins at 7:36 am EDT Tuesday. After that the Moon will move into its Waxing phase. One thing to keep in mind is that the Moon goes void of course at 10:26 am and then moves into Taurus at 12:11 pm. Many witches believe one shouldn't perform magickal work while the Moon is void of course, so choose whether the energy of Aries or Taurus best serves your purpose and time your spells accordingly.

When the Moon is Waxing it is the best time to perform all types of magick for healing, attracting good luck and increasing things such as money, love, etc. A Waxing Moon in Taurus would be particularly perfect for these types of spells!

I'll be back to my normal pithy self as soon as I can get my head off this pillow! New Moon blessings to everyone!
