New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries. March 29th, 2025.
“I am here to live out loud.”- Emile Zola ( born on an Aries New Moon)
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries arrives in the early hours of Saturday, and it is sizzling with initiatory energy. This Eclipse is a result of the changes, ruptures, realizations that have occurred since the spring of 2023 on a smaller scale, and since the 2014-2015 on a larger scale. This lunation draws a line between what was, and what is about to transpire. With Neptune entering Aries the very next day ( writing a separate post on that) this new beginning is under a heavy influence of a planet that if not yielded carefully, is going to take us into the battles where the warrior archetype is substituted with a sacrificial lamb one.
I added few spots for astrology readings for the month of April, as I am going to take time off the readings after that. You can book one below
Solar Eclipses deal mostly with external events, with leaders and any prominent figures, and with our own ability to step up into a more visible role. This Eclipse is ruled by Mars, which is still in the sign of its fall in Cancer, where it has been now for a very long time. There is a profound sensitivity that rises up with this lunation, all sorts of safety and stability issues are brought up to the surface. The good thing is that Mars is forming a number of supportive aspects to the stellium in Pisces ( to Saturn, North Node, Venus), so there is a sense of growing readiness to deal with whatever is coming at us constructively, and trusting our intuition every step of the way. Mars is also forming sextile to Uranus in Taurus, solutions can come unexpectedly or from unusual sources. Before this lunation we might feel tired and depleted by all that has been happening this month, but after the Eclipse we’ll start feeling an urge gradually rising within us to make certain moves. Steadfast.
Keep in mind that we still have Mercury and Venus retrograde, Mercury is at 0º of Aries and Venus has returned to Pisces and is sandwiched between North Node and Neptune during this lunation. This is a very spiritually charged lunation. We are moved by things beyond our logical mind, dreams and meditative states can be carriers of important information, prayer is a grounding force right now. Staying steadfast right now is essential, because the first 10 degrees of Aries are going to be very prominent for the next couple of years, so no matter how small or seemingly distant some of the initiations that you make this April and May, they are going to expand and be fortified as time goes by. Also we need to remember that Aries is a part of the pair, with Libra, that deals with relationships, contracts, compromise and personal will, so there might be changes and new beginnings within your one on one relationships, both professional and personal.
Aries lunations are about awakening from a deep sleep, they are bringers of fire and planters of new seeds, they are centered around courage and audacity, this is about choosing life and the battles that life inevitably comes with. The avoidance and seclusion are not optional this cycle, the next 6 months will show us how ready we are for the call, and what kind of call it is, well, that is unique to your natal chart. Whatever it is we are called to do, is asking us to take risks and meet life head on. We are going to stumble, innocently into the new scenarios and visions, and it is important not to succumb to the fear of the unknown, this Eclipse is all about the unknown, and the yet unknown potential we hold.
Instincts and desires are going to play a very important role this cycle. It is what rises persistently within, stirs the fear and excitement, this is a bone deep knowing that something has to change, individually and collectively. And maybe this realization has been there for awhile, but now we cannot look away, we are past the point of denial and procrastination. This is an evolution of individual purpose and direction, of how we deal with fear and uncertainty, evolution of our character. And again, be mindful of not becoming a sacrificial lamb in this evolutionary process, choose your own battles, or they will be chosen for you. With Love, Mariana.
