New Moon in Aries - Energy Report
New Moon in Aries
17th April 2026
12:52 pm UT/GMT
This is a feisty and fiery new moon that will either mirror the world on fire, or fuel a new fire in your belly. Choose wisely and intentionally!
Aries can be a sign of temper tantrums or creative passion and leadership, and often all of the above. My sun sign is Aries, so I decided to learn how to control that fire in my teens when I saw it got me nowhere to absolutely lose my shit over the slightest inconvenience. I do still swear at inanimate objects occasionally, usually door handles that catch on my clothes and yank me backwards… but I digress.
This is a time to be releasing the past wherever it is still holding you back. Definitely not a time to revisit the past with those nostalgic rose tinted glasses on, nope, instead please do remember what lessons made you move on from that time and circumstance.
You’ll be able to see those past challenges with clarity and work around difficulties rather than feeling pessimistic about outcomes. Part of this will be your ability to accept and detach from any particularly disappointing outcomes easily, rather than fixate on why something didn’t turn out the way you wanted. You’ll be able to more easily move forward to the next great thing and realise that a closed door is nothing but redirection to celebrate life more fully than if the other thing happened!
We are reminded to be fearless, over and over by this feisty Aries energy in the face of all the mass media fearmongering and focus upon war and destruction and the cost of living hikes. We cannot ignore what is happening, but we must not immerse ourselves in the despair of it. We will become consumed. We are here on Earth at this time to rise above all of these challenges and be love.
Emanating love and kindness is how we rise and inspire others to do the same. With boundaries of course! Aries will certainly help to assert ourselves lovingly. You can say no in loving ways when tested by those who don’t respect your boundaries.
Remember - the past has nothing new to offer you on this day - avoid getting drawn in to the chaos of other people.
This is the best time of year to literally plant new seeds of self sufficiency, we can grow our veggies and salad in window boxes if need be.
We can plant those seeds metaphorically too, new ideas, dreams, begin new habits and practices all contribute to our sense of personal power being reclaimed from the fear we are being bombarded with.
In being fearless, we make space for living how we wish to be, in the moment.
Spiritual practices and tools will help greatly in this. I speak from my own experiences in times of great challenge, my spiritual toolkit has kept me sane and even thriving in times when the material world tells us to despair and be consumed by fear.
Meditation, cleansing and healing modalities, keeping my home clear of negative energies, and daily commitment to working on my mental and physical health has been the greatest gift to myself, and continues to be.
No good moment in any day is wasted or futile.
This is how we thrive again. One step at a time.
For me, a tiny thing like listening to birdsong or cloud watching at this time of year instantly lifts me and fills me with gratitude for our beautiful planet in less than a minute.
Red jasper, carnelian, or garnet can amplify your energy during this day's meditations, hold in your dominant hand or have close by as you relax.
What will you do?
Questions and thoughts to ponder:
What small thing can I do today to help myself feel in control of my feelings and thoughts?
How can I help myself to feel more powerful in loving ways?
What can I grow at home to feed myself and my family?
How do I feel when I watch or listen to mainstream media news? Where do I get my news from now on?
When was the last time I went for a walk or sat outside listening to nature for a moment or two?
Who in my circle drains me? Who lifts and supports me? I will make more space and time for the latter.
More power to you in manifesting and dreaming up your chosen reality.
It really is a powerful time to move forward with hope.
Do you need some extra help from me to harness this new moon power?
I always make the most of this potent empowering window of energy in my self care healing sessions.
Why?
Because I find it really does amplify the healing power of the work we do on ourselves.
