What’s a new moon, and why should I care?
Abby the Red Mystic:
The new moon occurs when the sun and moon are in the same sign at the same degrees. Because the moon is invisible in the sky, it’s considered the dark moon. Now is the time to go inward and think about what you want to manifest in the coming months. A time of beginnings, it’s an opportunity to set intentions and make wishes. In contrast, the full moon (when the moon and sun are in opposite signs) is a time of endings, a time to release anything that’s not serving you, including any thoughts keeping you from the wishes you made during the new moon cycle.
Why is this new moon in Aries special?
Abby the Red Mystic:
Aries is the first sign in the zodiac. Signifying the start of the astrological new year, think of it as the freshest start possible.
What makes it extra powerful?
Abby the Red Mystic:
Being the first sign in the zodiac, Aries are the trailblazers, the starters, the initiators. They are courageous and bold. Ruled by the fiery planet Mars, the planet of action, most Aries are really high energy and they don’t let other people hold them back. So the energy under this new moon is about boldly embracing what you need, and having the bravery to really claim it, and claim it for yourself — because Aries is about the self. Their key affirmation is, “I am.” Arriving a day after the spring equinox, now is the perfect time to face any fears and say yes to what your specific needs are.
I’m not an Aries. Can the new moon still help me?
Abby the Red Mystic:
Absolutely. The overall theme of the Aries new moon is courageously embracing your own needs, and being really bold about what you want. Each sign can play with that energy differently, and set intentions on how they want to put themselves first and honor their individual soul’s journey.

♈ Aries ♈
At times, Aries can feel like they’re too much, too big, and so this new moon is about honoring that part of you — without any apologies. This is your full moon, your time to shine, your time to really be bold and passionate. It’s a perfect opportunity to spoil yourself with something sexy and bold. The déjà vu 18 bodysuit is the absolute perfect fit. It says, “Look at me, here I am.” Be bold, Aries, and don’t apologize for it!
♉ Taurus ♉
Taurus is an earth sign, and you are very practical and steady. You also have this very sensual side. Under this new moon, give yourself permission to really feed that sensual part of yourself by playing with all the senses — enjoying the soft touch of silk against your skin, smelling the scent of your favorite candle, tasting the sweetness of fruit or chocolate, listening to your favorite song — to really seduce yourself. Or, you might invite a partner in to play with all these senses with you!
♊ Gemini ♊
Gemini is an air sign, ruled by Mercury, the planet of thoughts and expressions, so your mind moves very quickly. It can be difficult for a Gemini to calm your mind. Under this new moon, set the intention to allow yourself time and space to really slow down and be present. Breathing exercises are a perfect way to do this. Whether it’s solo or with a partner, focusing on the breath will help calm your nervous system. Hold hands and really slowly breathe in each other's breath. This might feel scary for the Gemini, but being present with yourself and a partner can lead to a really deep level of intimacy.
♋ Cancer ♋
Cancer knows how to nurture everyone around you, and you can feel very comfortable in care-taking mode. But under this new moon, use the Aries energy to focus on yourself. As a water sign, this might mean allowing yourself to soak in a luxurious bath and really nurturing your body and nurturing your skin, so you can feel this decadence. It’s about enveloping yourself in your own nurturing energy. Then, if you’d like, you could invite someone else in to join you.
♌ Leo ♌
Leos love attention. But you sometimes have fears around this desire. So, under this new moon you can really feel permission to be bold and stand out. I’m thinking of that gorgeous stroke of midnight kimono robe — think about wrapping yourself in that double-silk robe and running your fingers through your beautiful mane and really allowing yourself to be the queen you are and owning it. Let yourself shine under the darkness of the moon!
♍ Virgo ♍
Virgos can be perfectionists, and you sometimes feel like you’re not doing enough. However, most Virgos can do it all. Under this Aries moon, set an intention to really practice self-love affirmations. Stare at yourself in the mirror and repeat, “I am enough. I am loved. I am whole.” And really own these words to soothe your soul. If you’re in a partnership, have a partner reflect that back to you. This could be a challenge for a Virgo! But also really soothing. Because of that perfectionist nature, which can weigh you down, you need to dig deep and know you are enough.
♎ Libra ♎
Libra loves to be surrounded by beauty and art, and you love to be in relationship. At times, you can lean towards codependency. So, under this new moon, set some intentions around creating space just for yourself. This can be creating an altar with all the things you adore, whether that’s crystals and cards, flowers and art. This can also be about pleasure, and self-pleasure, without needing or wanting a partner. Whether that’s through masturbation or body touch, it’s just for you. Don’t worry, the partner will always be there, Libra.
♏ Scorpio ♏
The Scorpio is mysterious, secretive and sexual; at times there could be a little shame around your sexual appetite. Under this new moon, there’s permission for the Scorpio to be bold and honor your sex drive, and even get a little kinky. I love that scorpion ring choker. I love the name of it! I mean, it’s perfect. You can use that to tie yourself up, or tie a partner up, and just get wild and embrace your nature, Scorpio.
♐Sagittarius♐
The Sagittarius is the seeker — of wisdom, adventure and freedom. It’s difficult for you to stay in one place, so harness this Aries energy and just go for it. Go try new cuisines, adventure in new neighborhoods, or start planning your dream trip. Be really specific about what you want — how you want to feel, what you want to wear, what you want to experience, what partner you want to experience it with. What kind of sexual situations do you want to explore? Go big and have fun with it. I love doing Pinterest boards. Start putting those images together to have your vision come alive!
♑ Capricorn ♑
This earth sign is really diligent and responsible, and loves to be in control. The Capricorn has a fear of letting go because it might throw you off the course of where you want to go. Under this new moon, I challenge you to set the intention to allow yourself to let go. Let go of control and trust. A blindfold is a perfect way to play with this. Blindfold yourself and explore your body. Or allow a partner to blindfold you and explore your body. You could even try inviting a Scorpio in!
♒ Aquarius ♒
Aquarius is the genius of the zodiac, but you’re also really unique. Sometimes your uniqueness can make you feel like you don’t fit in. But it’s ok, Aquarius, be outrageous! Don’t fit in. This new moon is all about courage. That might mean wearing something to show off your uniqueness, like the butterfly waist cincher-corset. Wear that with jeans and a pink wig. Go with it and be you — without caring what anyone else thinks!
♓ Pisces ♓
This is a big year for Pisces because Saturn is also in Pisces, so it’s a very auspicious year to go deep in your faith and spirituality. Being very sensitive, compassionate and creative, you have the ability to go to other worlds and fantasize. Sometimes this could be a little scary for a Pisces because you can go so far out. Under this new moon, have the intention to journal about your fantasies. It could be a sexual fantasy or it could be a fantasy about how you want to live your life. Be wild, inventive and bold! If you're feeling really courageous under the Aries new moon, read your fantasy aloud to a partner or friend.
