The New Moon in Aries April 1, 2022
Astrological Highlights:

Tomorrow April 1 is the new moon in Aries. It is the first new moon of the astrological new year, which began on March 20. That was the same day as the spring equinox and as the beginning of Aries season.
This is a very powerful new moon. Aries energy is bold. It is the energy of initiation and new beginnings. This is such beautiful energy to set your intentions. It’s also a great time to make a vision board for the next 12 months.
Chiron and Mercury are conjunct to the moon and the sun. You may feel the pain of old wounds coming up. How do you express them in a healthy way so that you can release them? Ceres sextile to this conjunction will support us in nurturing ourselves.
Saturn and Mars are moving closer to an exact conjunction in Aquarius on April 5th. You may already be feeling this assertive and challenging energy.
Jupiter and Neptune are moving closer to their exact conjunction in Pisces on April 15th. This energy may be sparking your imagination. You can feel that your head is in the clouds.
How do I work with this energy?
· Be kind to yourself – You may feel emotional, raw, and vulnerable. It’s ok to feel this way.
· Make time for yourself – It’s ok to take some time to process these emotions. Use the solitude to get clear on what you want to bring into your life.
· Set intentions during the new moon – These can even be intentions for healing. “I wish to release all anxiety around money from me in a healthy way.” Set no more than ten. This forces you to gain clarity on what is important for you right now. It focuses the energy into the manifestation of those ten things.
· Create a vision board – This is a great time to focus your energy into the vision for your life for the next 12 months. Make sure you display it where you can see it every day.
· Breath and repeat your intensions and visions – As you do this, feel what is happening in your body. Is there fear, resistance, or any other emotion when you do so? This means that you may need to re-word your intention. You also could be blocking yourself from believing it's possible. It’s OK! It’s an opportunity to ask yourself why. You can reword your intention to help you release the block so that you can move forward.
· Remember that you are supported and are loved – Do you feel isolated and alone? Everything is working out for your greater good, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Reach out to someone that you feel comfortable with. Join a community of likeminded people for support. You are loved.

The New Moon in Aries
The full moon in March was in Virgo. There was “spring-cleaning energy” in the air. You may have cleaned things out of your house. There was some energetic and spiritual spring cleaning happening too.
You have to clear things out to bring the new in. You also need to let things sit for a while and settle in. See where things land once you get everything cleared out. After you release and clear during a full moon let things settle.
Use this new moon to see what you desire now. Sit quietly and take a few breaths. See where you are in this moment. See what intentions you want to set now. They may not be the same as the intentions that you would have set at the full moon.
Read each one aloud. Notice the sensations in your body. If you don’t feel joy and brightness, you may need to re-word the intention so that it does feel good when you read it.
Cull your list down to the ten that feel good to you when you read them out loud. Keep your list! Read it before the next new moon and see what’s manifested for you. If your intension didn’t quite manifest as you expected, reflect on why. You will need to take some steps to shift your beliefs about it before it will flow into your life.
Create a vision board! This is a fun and visual way to bring things into your experience over the next twelve months. Use your own pictures. You can cut out words from magazines. Draw, glue glitter on to it, anything that will allow you to feel into the expression of your desires.
