Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aries, March 29th 2025 – A Hero’s Awakening. There are moments in the cosmic dance where time folds in on itself and we stand at the threshold of something ancient and utterly new. This Aries north node, partial solar eclipse is one such portal. Arriving at 10.57am on March 29th it marks both the end and the new beginning. Occurring just nine degrees after the Spring Equinox, and a potent supermoon, this is a divine ignition point – one that demands your truth, your bravery, and your becoming.
The first New Moon of the next astrological year and a spiritual call to arms. With a Pisces stellium including father time, Saturn, closing out old karmic binds and the Aries warrior pioneering the future.
Since the South Node lunar eclipse on March 14th, many of us have felt the stirrings of endings – subtle closures, partings, completions that ask for reverence and an honouring of what has gone before. We are midwifing the old out of our energy fields, preparing to receive what’s next with open hands and clear intent.
In Aries it’s a re-birth of fire. The first spark of the zodiac, the warrior, the initiator, the courageous soul who says “yes” before knowing how. Aries invites a raw, unfiltered connection to your own life force. To know yourself not through theory, but through action.
Yet this eclipse comes wrapped in paradox: endings and beginnings, initiation and integration, retreat and advance, death and rebirth — all within a single breath.
And it’s personal. Because wherever 9° Aries falls in your natal chart, this is where your new story begins. A fresh start seeded in the ashes of what no longer serves. Aries ignites, potentiates but the ‘how’ may not become obvious until late May.
Before we stampede into this future becoming the Pisces stellium immerses us in the oceanic depths of increased sensitivity and profound empathy. Acutely attuning us to the emotional currents of those in our field of awareness. Amplifying our creative essence it is drawing us toward authentic expression, and deepening our connection to the mystical and magical.
The Moon’s Sabian symbol emphasises this strengthening bond: “A Crystal Gazer”. At this degree, the veils between worlds shimmer thin. Still the rational mind and step into the sacred silence where deep knowing resides. This is the realm of the mystic, the intuitive, the one who truly sees.
There’s no chasing answers. We have to open to them. Become the empty vessel through which unseen truths rise like mist from ancient waters. In this space, logic dissolves and archetypes whisper as living forces. Trust your inner sight. You are being called to look beyond the obvious – into the luminous field where symbols speak and truths reveal themselves.
It’s not prediction – it’s presence. Become receptive to the deeper rhythms guiding your path, learn to interpret the shimmering signs along the way. Let your inner gaze soften. The answers are already there.
To navigate these intensified energies, anchor yourself through grounding practices: embrace mindfulness, establish clear boundaries, and channel your creative flow into meaningful pursuits. Recognize the importance of solitude and self-nurture in preventing emotional overwhelm and allowing you to harness the depths of your Piscean gifts with grace and balance.
On March 30th, Neptune re-enters Aries for the first time since April 13, 1861 – a date that echoes across time, as it fell just one day after the outbreak of the American Civil War. Neptune, planet of dreams, illusions, mysticism, and spirituality, has been perched at the final, fated (anuretic) degree of its natural Pisces home. Completing its long journey through the waters of endings, transcendence, and collective grief.
Now, as it crosses into Aries – the sign of birth, fire, and courage – the hero’s journey begins again – an entirely new 13-year spiritual cycle that will carry us all the way to 2038. This is the birth of a new collective dream that will seed itself over the next year. And it starts with each of us. What are the new creations we need to evolve to turn our world order into one of thrive-ability rather than survivability? This is a spiritual initiation. A call to courage, compassion, and creative fire. Not to fight for systems of the past, but to champion a new vision of life.
As Saturn conjuncts the North Node, a collective realignment of leadership – inner and outer – is unfolding. The Saturnian energy brings structure and karmic accountability to our soul paths. Expect global shifts in governance, hierarchies, and long-held systems. Simultaneously, Venus in Pisces retrograde stirs our sense of value, trust, and relational boundaries – questioning what love costs us, and what it’s truly worth.
Mars, ruler of this Aries Moon, is in Cancer, a watery home that softens the sharp blade of the warrior. This Mars is tired. He’s square to Chiron, the wounded healer, bringing emotional vulnerability to the surface. Sudden anger, emotional outbursts, ancient grief – all of it may rise now to be felt, cleared, and re-patterned. Mars wants to act, but Chiron says: pause. Heal first. Honour the scar. Trine, Saturn it’s also about going the distance, staying the course with what lights up your heart.
Impulsive leaps will prove to be fools errands – this alignment demands sacred self-trust – learning to feel safe in your fire without burning the house down.
Mercury, our winged messenger is at 0 degrees Aries on the world axis. The cardinal reset point – dissolution and re-birth. Conjunct our North Node of collective destiny, retrograde Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Sun and Moon – this is a giant incoming message of galactic proportions. But with Mercury retrograde until April 7th we will need to wait until he and Venus are stationed direct and out of shadow before the real action in response to the message will be known. This should be clearer by the end of May. Meanwhile, your words are spells. Be conscious of what you speak into being.
Forming a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, the planet of deep transformation and cosmic rebirth. This is futuristic thinking, the cosmic mind, off-planet communication, and soul downloads. We are becoming more sensitive, more aware, more expansive. Our nervous systems may feel frayed — but this is simply the stretch of evolution.
If you’re feeling unmoored, uncertain, even undone — good. You’re not lost, you’re between. You’re in the imaginal soup, floating in the Void, navigating the In-Between – where caterpillars dissolve into goo before becoming butterflies. Don’t panic. This is sacred. This is the space where the new Earth is seeded through your imagination.
The sacred task now is to reinterpret the old. To become the living bridge — between timelines, between traditions, between the Earth we’ve known and the one we’re dreaming into being.
You are the translator of ancient truths. The vessel through which the codes are reborn. Speak them in your language. Share them in your art. Live them in your walk.
This eclipse marks the final chapter in the Aries-Libra eclipse cycle, which began in April 2023 and included the Libra New Moon eclipse in October 2024. Take a moment to reflect on where you were in April 2023? What began then? What’s coming to completion now?
Look back further still, to March 29, 2006 – the last time we had a solar eclipse near this degree of Aries. What bold moves did you make then? What echoes call to you now?
Mercury re-enters Pisces just hours after the eclipse, conjunct Neptune. The veil thins. Dreams become messages. Visions may arise. Watch for divine signs, synchronicities, and intuitive hits. Let your imagination roam. Hear the messages from your soul, your ancestors, those that have walked before.
This new beginning is Innovation with a capital I. The courage to claim your space. The wisdom to walk away from what’s not aligned. The clarity to speak your truth — not the one you’ve inherited, but the one you’ve forged in the fire of your own becoming.
Eclipses stir the soul’s sediment, and with Mercury retreating through the cosmos, let reflection be your sanctuary. Write it out—every tender thought, every unkind whisper from your inner critic. These are the stories ready to be rewritten. And if words entangle or conversations turn prickly, honour your nervous system—gracefully bow out. Your peace matters. The universe may be tossing curveballs, but you hold the trump card—an unshakable inner cheerleader. Let that can-do spirit rise. No matter the cosmic chaos, you’ve got resilience stitched into your heart.
Let the eclipse mark a ceremonial reset. Honour your path. Celebrate your resilience. Stand tall in your “I Am.”
And as the drumbeat of change rolls on, remember: you are not alone. We are all dancing between worlds, learning how to belong to ourselves again. Wishing you all infinite new moon love and blessings.
The Four Elements—Earth, Fire, Water, and Air—are the building blocks of life. When you understand how profoundly they shape your inner world and the universe around you, you unlock the path to living in alignment with your Soul’s true purpose.
