Journal Prompts for Aries New Moon* Where am I dimming my expression to stay comfortable or acceptable?* What would I share if I trusted that my voice has value as it is?* What would I begin if I allowed this to be joyful instead of serious?* If I stopped planning and just started, what would I do first?* Where am I delaying action by trying to make something sustainable too soon?* What am I afraid will happen if I fully show up?* What if this didn’t need to last forever, would I still choose it?A simple ritualAries wants fire, directness and action from its rituals. Always be aware of fire safely, but especially at this time of focus on fire. Use a safe container, or perform the ritual outdoors if possible. Never leave a lit candle unattended. (This always applies, but I have learned the hard way, even more so when Mars and the fire signs are activated, safety first). Light a candle and as you do, become aware of your living breath and presence in this moment. Gaze at the movement of the flame, see how it dances and responds to your breath . When you feel ready, speak, out loud, what you are ready to begin, create, or express. Then move, just like the flame. Allow your body to carry the intention forward. You might also want to walk, write, speak, send, but take some form of material action. This creates a living bridge between intention and action.Before you close, acknowledge in words that: This has begun. Then say your thanks and extinguish the flame. Aries — Cardinal FireRuled by Mars, Aries is cardinal, which is known to be initiatory and pivotal. It is also yang or masculine which is experienced as outgoing and active, and fiery, driving us to take decisive action, pursue desires, and embrace bold changes. Aries is the first sign and symbolises the initial movement of the zodiac. The first spark of conscious life. It is the first Cardinal sign of initiation, where something begins. The spark is not fully formed or perfectly planned, it simply cannot remain unexpressed in its life force.As cardinal fire, it initiates through energy, burning, consuming and fast to respond. It moves outward, quickly, and instinctively, often before there is time to analyse or refine.It is ruled by the warrior planet Mars, which has just entered to join the stellium, or focus, of traditional and outer planets here. Mars is known in traditional astrology as the lesser malefic, Saturn, also in Aries, is the greater malefic. This means that they bring events that we may experience as more challenging, difficult or unpleasant, the harder side of life. Mars can cut us off from things that we may, or may not, want removed from our lives. It can also inflame situations, bring aggression and conflict, as well as motivation, courage and the need to take action. This is why Aries acts through instinct and desire. Mars doesn’t wait for permission. Mars responds to what feels immediate, necessary, and real.With the New Moon in Aries, with themes of aut
