New Moon in Aries: Healing the Warrior’s Heart

The first lunation of this astrological year is happening on March 31 PE/ April 1 ET at 11 degrees of the cardinal fire sign of Aries.

Aries is the go-getter of the Zodiac. The Sun is exalted in Aries, making Aries season one of the best times of the year to initiate and launch brand new things.

This is especially true this year, because April is one of the most dynamic months of 2022

This powerful fiery energy makes us feel very assertive, enthusiastic, and ready to be back in the game.

It can bless us with a special gift of making others do what we want.

The New Moon in Aries is traditionally associated with powerful new beginnings.

It instigates a burning desire for independence, to forge ahead on our own and be our own boss.

However, its vibe is different this year.

The Cosmic Weather Report

This New Moon conjuncts the cosmic messenger Mercury and asteroid Chiron, the wounded healer.

We are asked to acknowledge the importance of healing of the self prior to embarking on setting new goals and initiating new projects.

The warrior needs to heal the heart before getting back to the battlefield to continue his fight for the truth.  

The red, hot planet Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, is very close to Saturn, the planet of responsibilities, karma and delays.

This alignment indicates the need to think through the best course of action before rushing into anything.

These alignments may have a negative impact on venusian activities around the time of this New Moon. It’s vital to remember that compromise is always the best option.

Try to avoid any possible confrontations with your loved ones at this time.

Chiron’s involvement may trigger communication out of unhealed emotional wounds.

Spend time with yourself, try to understand what might have triggered your anger and frustration before saying anything you may deeply regret in the future.


Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (or Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope. 

The Moon sign represents your emotional and psychological imprint and is worth checking out as well, especially if your primary focus at present is on matters of the heart. (Related article: Big 3 in Your Birth Chart: Why It Is Crucial for Unlocking Your Destiny )
