New Moon in Aries and Solar Eclipse
Share
On March 29, 2025, at 12:57 p.m., the new moon will appear in the sign of Aries . The new moon will be accompanied by a partial solar eclipse , which will begin at 12:57 p.m. and end at 2:13 p.m. The maximum eclipse will occur at 1:35 p.m. (this will only cover a small part of the Sun). It is said that the effect of the eclipse is weaker in places where it is not visible or is only partially visible.
Eclipses have their own cycles and travel in pairs of Zodiac signs. This eclipse is the last one to occur in the Aries - Libra axis. Since the first eclipse of this axis cycle on April 20, 2023, we should have already accumulated a solid chest of experiences: changes have affected personal growth, identity changes, individual courage, perception of confidence and self-expression, partnerships and relationships. Stop for a moment and look back - how has your "I" changed over the years? How has the perception of others about relationships? Or maybe the partnerships themselves have changed?
It is also worth exploring your previous experiences traveling through eclipse cycles. It is likely that we will notice common denominators or similar motifs in our life stories. This axis of the eclipse cycle was also activated in 2013-2016, and even earlier in 2004-2006, and in 1995-1997.
So this eclipse is like the final accent and the final push in the cycle of eclipses of the Aries and Libra signs axis. Is there anything left that has not been fully realized? Not felt, not lived, not experienced with all your being? Maybe there is still something that has not been released, not said goodbye? Or somewhere that has not stood up and not stretched out in our natural "I"? Let's check whether we have really done everything that depends on us to step into the junction of changing cycles having restored the true connection with our true self. Relationships with the world around us also depend on this.
The new moon in Aries activates courage, drive, encourages new initiatives, increases determination and activity. The sign of Aries is always the first, the leader, breaking all the ice and bringing the light of spring. So there will definitely be no shortage of energy for new ideas, projects or adventures. Just as there will be conflicts caused by excessive impulsiveness, haste, stubbornness, categoricalness or even aggression.
Usually, during the New Moon, it is advisable to refrain from active actions and focus more on planning. Due to the New Moon coinciding with an eclipse, we will often hear the opposite advice - avoid dreaming, do not perform manifestation practices. During this eclipse, Mercury and Venus will move retrograde, so their energy may slightly shift our insights or desires in an unusual direction, encouraging more review of the past, but not visions of the future.
Despite everything, we create our future every moment – with every thought, every action or even inaction. So, whether we do it consciously or in the unconscious inertia of thoughts and actions – we constantly and always shape the future reality of our lives. For some, this time is an impetus for inner healing and personal growth. For others, it is a stage of powerful transformations and irreversible changes. For someone, it is a moment of concentration and listening to oneself. Eclipses are not only a review of individual lives, but also a collective course check of the direction of humanity’s spiritual evolution. Let us each discover our individual connection to the energy of eclipses.
