The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries has a very clear theme repeated over and over via different astrological signatures. Endings and beginnings.
As we know, new moons are always an ending and a new beginning in some way. Solar eclipses are especially significant new moons because the light of the sun is symbolically eclipsed, or ended, by the transiting moon and then re-emerges as the moon moves on. An ending and a beginning.
Additionally, this new moon solar eclipse is happening in the first sign of the zodiac, ARIES, indicating something new, fresh, or beginning. However, this new moon is occurring at the 29th degree of Aries. The 29th degree of any sign is indicative of ENDINGS. The new moon closely squares Pluto at 0 degrees of Aquarius. 0 degrees is a beginning, but Pluto is the planet of transformation, by death and rebirth.
Endings and beginnings.
With this energy, a death or an ending may have already occurred in our lives, but now we are dealing with the rot or the decay of that ending. A square to Pluto indicates that this is an important time of release. However, it also indicates that we have held onto something far past its expiration and it has now turned toxic.
With Pluto, letting things go does not come so easily, but we must remember that Pluto represents a final death and what has died can never be brought back to life. Unfortunately, Pluto indicates a certain psychological attachment, such as a fear of losing control as a result of letting something go. This could be a deeply ingrained fear or behavior that no longer makes any sense and is stunting our progress. This could be a passion that has turned into an unhealthy obsession. This could be a once fiery romance that has turned toxic and manipulative.
Whatever this is for each of us, it’s time to say goodbye for good because this intense new moon energy indicates that we are now at the point where we are blocking our transformation. We are blocking our own evolution as a result of this attachment. The good news is that Pluto is revelatory energy as well and brings this shadowy truth to our awareness very clearly.
What in your life has long since expired but you’ve held onto it? What are you ready to release in order to truly begin again? The time is now, my friends. Your transformation awaits you, but you must take action when the moon is in Aries.
With that, I wish you all blessings of exciting new beginnings with this powerful Aries eclipse energy.
