New Moons are all about new beginnings. The energy of this new moon is even more prevalent as it’s reinforced with a partial solar eclipse in Aries.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, a fire sign and very much a sign for taking action! Solar eclipses give you the opportunity for a fresh start and this eclipse is full of vibrant energy, encouraging you to harness your potential with some force. NOW is the time for making shifts and changes in your life.

Ask yourself if you have everything to make these changes and if not what do you need to move towards to implement change?

This Solar Eclipse is connected to the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse which took place two weeks ago on Friday 14th March in Virgo.

The Lunar Eclipse reminded us of how we all possess the power to create changes in our life, it encouraged us to listen to ourselves and the Solar Eclipse is now encouraging us to now take action and make those changes.

It’s time to set up your map to help you moving forward!

Cycles and Rhythms

This Eclipse also marks a celebration or culmination point, as it references the last 18 months when we stepped into the North Node/South Node* cycle of Aries/Libra that brought our attention to how we present ourselves in the world and whether we are surrounding ourselves in healthy relationships that were aligned with our soul purpose and life path.

This Aries Solar Eclipse marks the end of that cycle which started in July 17th 2023 and can really show us how far we have come in terms of changes implemented as we open a even clearer path towards confidence, aligned, nourishing relationship with self and others.

This is a powerful time to set intentions, Solar Eclipses are like New Moons x 10 - supercharged moons! We are now in Spring and fresh energy is coming to help us shift those stagnant energies that we have collected over the more static winter months.

The Full Moon Lunar eclipse earlier in March stirred the winds of change and now the Solar Eclipse energy bursts forth to get those changes in motion.

Be aware though…..Aries IS the warrior though so do be mindful of acting irrationally or being headstrong, angry and lacking compassion! These emotions are often triggered by things below the surface so it’s good for us to take a deeper look to see what’s hiding beneath.

Venus Rising and her retrograde journey into the Underworld

Since 16th March 2025 Venus has been in the underworld

She re-emerges as morning star on March 29th 2025

Venus is the planet of love, beauty and relationships, her cycle lasts 584 days and she goes into the underworld to die and be reborn….

The impact of the Venus cycle and the intensity of her underworld journey really depends on where Venus falls in your chart.

Facing shadows is never easy but sometimes it’s what is needed to face the truth.

Venus stations retrograde from March 1st to April 13th 2025

Retrogrades can be a very insular time as we take time to reflect and review and perhaps recalibrate some of our most intimate relationships.

Retrograde times really highlight what is most important to us

Take time to look at which relationships empower you and which ones need re-balancing to suit where you are now in your life.
