The waning days of an unusually harsh, prolonged winter is heating up with the New Moon in fiery Aries. Remember, New Moons sweep clean and this one is no exception. 

Aries, a pioneering sign, is the intrepid first child of the zodiac. As the achievement-oriented explorer trophy kid, our ram friend will be escorting us into new territory.

Then take heed that this Aries New Moon is guiding us down this path.

Whatever has been incubating below the surface is going to pop up. The question to contemplate is, 'What is ready to give birth in me?'.

The purpose is to alleviate our suffering proving we are not the victim of circumstances but the victor over circumstances.
