Your New Moon in Aries Moonscope – March 29, 2025 Eclipse Edition

Your New Moon in Aries Moonscope – March 29, 2025 Eclipse Edition

Individuation, action, confidence and assertiveness are all Aries traits. Ruled by Mars, it’s fierce boldness and daring awakens our inner leader. Aries says: Game on! It’s the first sign in the zodiac and its energy aligns with the card of The Fool in the Tarot. The figure willing to take that risk and step over the edge. To push those boundaries and know that feeling the fear and then doing it anyway, is the only way to discover if you can fly.

Of course, the flip side of that is rushing in where angels fear to tread. Acting impulsively without thinking through the possible consequences of doing so. Giving into anger, impatience or adrenaline. And then refusing to take responsibility for the results. Under an eclipse in Aries – even a partial one, which is what we have with this new Moon, it really is important to look before we leap. Or to delay taking that step entirely until well after the eclipse shadows pass.

The eclipse also coincides with heavy retrograde weather across Aries and next door sign of Pisces. So, we can say that under this influence, if we take that step now, we really don’t know where we are going to land. This is a time to stop and wait as the next step is most definitely unclear. Or the results of taking it are.

The eclipse occurs at 9 degrees of Aries. All Cardinal signs and all signs with Cardinal factors within a one degree orb of this eclipse, are about to see a key shift occur in at least one area. The eclipse is a precursor for Neptune which drops in Aries the very next day. The ruler of magical concealment and mystical moves, this simply adds to the message: defer, delay and disengage for now. Sometimes inaction is the best step we can take.

ARIES

It’s the new beginning that isn’t, Aries. Yes, normally a new Moon in your sign sees you pedal to the metal in hot pursuit of that passion or fresh goal. Being told to pump those brakes isn’t your style. Your usual philosophy is that YOU make it happen. So, this energy simply runs counter to that. But despite appearances to the contrary, you aren’t actually simply spinning those wheels. You are in preparation mode instead.

Eclipses operate on a polarity. The same as full Moons do. This is due to them following the arc of the Nodes. The North Node in your sign put the South in Libra and your 7^th house. And although the Nodes have now changed signs – to Pisces and your 12^th and Virgo and your 6^th, there is always one final eclipse on the old axis which closes the cycle. It brings with it massive but as yet hidden potential around partnerships, personal ambitions and a new plan of action when it comes to getting what you want.

Those of you whose birthday falls within 3 days either side of this eclipse will feel its influence the most. Although we associate your sign with the warrior spirit, the ability the tackle things head on and to take a fearless approach, there are those Aries who find asserting themselves challenging. Or who lack confidence. Especially when it comes to making decisions. If you fall into this category, the eclipse is about to show you that there’s no longer any need to second-guess yourself. You’ll be handed the clarity which tells you that your first reaction is actually the right one. Especially when it comes to setting boundaries. That’s an action that’s allowed under this eclipse. Take that leap of faith in yourself, Aries.

TAURUS

Eclipse: Confidential. Whatever you hear or are told – keep it on the down-low. If you have something to confide in someone – ensure that they can be trusted to keep it in the vault. If you have any doubts around this – then please turn to a professional who is bound by a code of ethics when it comes to client confidence. Anyone from a priest to your doctor or even psychic. This will be a week when your word isn’t just your bond. It becomes a sealed covenant.

Some of you may even be asked to sign NDA’s as part of your job. You could be working with sensitive information or in a behind-the-scenes capacity. This is the start of a major long term cycle where research, intelligence, privileged information and even secrets may feature. Psychic sleuthing? Following those feels? Listening to your gut? That too.

The flip side of confidential is confession. Do you need to unburden yourself? Again, look to a professional if need be. Hopefully there is nothing lurking in your closet aside from those acid wash jeans you wouldn’t be ashamed of the world knowing about. There’s a need for a clean slate under this eclipse. If you feel someone is withholding something – this is a partial solar eclipse so you may have clues or a heads-up that all is not as it seems, you will follow those breadcrumbs until you get to the truth. Especially if it turns out someone needs your help. You are the friend or partner who will walk a 1000 miles and 1000 more in which case. And you’ll walk even further if it means uncovering the truth.

GEMINI

How about a new era of manifesting, Gemini? One where you magic up what you need. Which may look very different to what you think you want. Yes, it really is the ‘This or something better’ intention which will bring you the results you seek.

It’s time to go back over old goals to see if they have become dated or in fact, too rigid under the eclipse in your 11^th. It tells you that what you want may not be what you need. Not now and certainly not for the upcoming Neptune in your 11^th cycle. By all means – dream on and dream without limits. But then concede that the universe not only can envision something better – but also more apt. And be open to receiving it. And certainly looking past the obvious when it does turn up.

As well as your goals, friends and groups will be impacted by this eclipse. One connection in particular is going to show you just what it’s made of between now and ruler Mercury returning to this house. The upcoming Neptune in Aries cycle is all about the divine connectivity of like-minded souls. Friendships, communities, movements and associations that resonate. Reunions and get togethers may also feature. You are like-minded others. And who come together to make the world a better place. There’s never been a better time under which to volunteer or to become involved in a cause now. And it may bring you unlooked for benefits. Not that this is your motivation. But it’s the way the universe says thanks. And it may also be just what you need.

CANCER

We’re back in eclipse territory. They always come in pairs at the time of the full and new Moons. So, you can feel the build up two weeks out. Do check your chart for Cancer factors at 9 degrees – give or take one. Or in Aries and your 10^th.

Upward mobility is on offer. To find out what the view looks like from the top. This is about your self-actualisation, Cancer. What you aim to do or achieve. The pinnacle of attainment for you. This doesn’t have to be linked to a career path – although being applauded and rewarded for what you do is a distinct possibility. That feeling of achievement can come from conquering a more personal ambition. Helping your child or a family member achieve for instance. Creating a meaningful work of art. Pushing yourself to discover how far you can go in a sporting activity or pursuit. Knowing you have what it takes. And if you’ve come to doubt you’re the Right Stuff, behind this eclipse hides your self-belief waiting to be rediscovered.

New worlds to conquer or peak experiences where you discover just what you can do when you focus, are waiting to be explored with Neptune’s arrival in this house the day after the eclipse. Look back to your success stories, Cancer. You already have a track record on which to build on.

Here’s another tip which may seem to run contrary to the eclipse/retro trend but is in fact timely and will form part of your decision making process from this point on: Stop the wait – just ask. For that raise, promotion or even that commitment in a relationship. Especially if you have been investing in something for a while now. That track record tells you that you’ve earned it. And if it’s not being offered up, take a moment to think about whether or not this is because the other party assumes you are quite content with the status quo. Yes, the usual rule with eclipses and retros is to watch and wait. But not wasting time for someone else to make the first move. Get your answer, Cancer. And also know if it’s not the one you expected, Neptune is about to reveal enticing alternatives to get where you want to be.

LEO

Soul traveller aspects reveal the road yet to be taken. Check your chart for factors between 8-10 degrees. Especially in your own sign. Despite the fact your ruler is partially obscured, the eclipse is fire-sign friendly. This is your house of long distance travel and with Mercury retrograde in it the day of the eclipse, please do your pre-flight retro checks before going anywhere. This involves checking everything from that departure to connections, weather and possible outages. And also setting out early – just in case.

Neptune is poised on the cusp of Aries and your 9^th when the eclipse occurs. It enters here the very next day. Both mark the start of real or metaphorical journey. A spiritual quest or cycle of discovery. That bucket list trip. There will be no looking back or seeing the world quite the same way again after it however.

Those of you who work in the law, academia, the mass media (including the internet), sports or the travel and tourism industries, may be looking at breakthroughs or ideas taking off. The resolution of a legal matter, you accepting an offer, or commencing on a course of study may be the catalyst you’ve needed to enter into a cycle of exploration and freedom.

The flip side to this is however – don’t push your luck. This isn’t the time to take a wild gamble. You of all signs know the rules under a solar eclipse. You will feel temporarily disconnected from your source. And eclipses cover up and conceal. This is a partial eclipse. So, a piece is quite literally missing. You will need to wait for the rest of the picture to emerge. Just when is that? Around about the time when Mars clears its retroshadow in your sign in May, Leo. And yes, that’s also when you get your roar back.

VIRGO

Love and money. Hot or not. Intimate ties and what’s in your vault, Virgo. Those fears and insecurities. The shadow side. In what you see as your faults or flaws, lies your power, beauty and strength. Ready to embrace this?

Raw emotions need to be processed under the light of this eclipse. Have any of you ever used a black light? Been in a club where they have one? Or played around with one for fun? If you have, you know the black light highlights details you couldn’t see. Or makes them more prominent. Well, take it that the eclipse in your 8th/Mercury retro combo does the same.

The eclipse is your invitation to access the raw power within you. Those untapped recesses of your soul you may have dismissed as unlovable or something to be ashamed of. The time of pretending to be anyone than exactly who you are to gain approval or simply keep the peace, is now at a very definitive end. You reconnect in the black light to details you have denied. Especially if someone has been doing this to deliberately make you feel disempowered.

This eclipse is pivotal when it comes to your personal empowerment, decision making and determining the next stage in a key union. From your spouse to that long term love to your boss. This is the hot or not bit. You’ll know if it’s right. If it’s worth your long term investment.

And also come to understand the soulmate secret. A soulmate triggers growth. Now sometimes this may be via a challenging dynamic just as it can be with a supportive one. Just because we have karma with someone doesn’t mean it’s all rom-com cupcakes and fairy tales. We can come together for a time to learn. But then having done that, it’s time to separate. Empowerment is knowing exactly what the dynamic is. And with Neptune poised to arrive, no longer denying what exists. Know you have the power of choice.

LIBRA

Connections are set to become more soulful, Libra. The upcoming Neptune in Aries era wants you to experience two hearts in sync. A more resonant kind of togetherness. Just what form this will take – well, pretty limitless and possibly yet-to-be-defined. And also with ruler Venus retrograde, this may be under wraps. Throw in the eclipse in your 7^th as well, and this tells you that it’s not the right time to actively seek it out.

However, in hindsight you will come to understand that this eclipse marked a clear point between an old cycle of relating and a new one. This is the final eclipse on the old eclipse axis of your sign and Aries. So, it truly does represent the closing of one chapter. While Neptune’s arrival the very next day marks the beginning of the new. Do check your chart for Libra factors within one degree of the eclipse orb – between 8-10. If so, this is truly love for the new era emerging and you will feel its effects first.

This is all about higher love. But it is also about expectations grounded in reality. This is a new day dawning in a present or potential relationship. We know the Sun will rise each day. And this is the same – even if you cannot see the new beginning yet, it is there, just below the horizon. It may take until Venus is direct and clear of retroshadow before you see the first rays appear however.

For now, if you are facing a big decision in an existing relationship, do sit with it and examine it from every possible angle. Do not deny your feelings no matter which way they are asking you to go. Emotional honesty is going to be essential for the cycle ahead. As is understanding your own needs in relationships. If you are seeking a partner – in any sphere, then heavenly, higher love happens first within you. Working partnerships or collaborations receive a special kind of infusion under this new Moon eclipse. But first and foremost – work on your partnership with yourself. It’s not just for your new soul love era, Libra. It’s for life.

SCORPIO

Inject that routine with inspiration and fresh meaning. Escape that rut, dead end or hamster wheel of running as fast as you can – and getting nowhere fast. The eclipse in Aries occurs in your 6^th of work and wellbeing. What you do or devote yourself to on a daily basis. The work of living in other words. This isn’t your house of rewards, recognition and ambition. That’s your 10^th. So, while it can usher in a new phase of working smarter or finding work with meaning, this isn’t really about that promotion or big leap up the ladder of success for you. But it can lead to you taking the next rung in that direction. But do hold off for applying for a new job for now if you can with Mercury retrograde in here. Unless the deadline won’t allow for it.

Ahead of Neptune’s arrival in here the following day, the eclipse wants you to stop and recalibrate. To pay close attention to the details. And the inter-relatedness of how what you do, what you surround yourself with or fuel yourself with, impacts on the whole of your life. Do address issues of burn-out, tiredness, feeling overwhelmed, anxious or drained and what may be causing this. Don’t ignore what your body is telling you. And to talk to a professional if this has been going on for some time.

Often what we reach for when we want to self-soothe, can make us feel better in the short term. But contribute to us feeling worse in the long term. It seems like the solution, but turns into a prison that keeps the cycle going. Even as we use it to keep ourselves going. That’s not the way forward, Scorpio. And again, if a habit has turned into a problem, do get support with it as you start to change things up.

The eclipse wants you to understand that even the smallest changes will have a positive impact. Especially if you believe you don’t have time. Or the task seems overwhelming. Strangely what you begin with this eclipse will stick. Even if you just start with doing something for five minutes at a time. You may keep going. Or in a couple of days find you are spending longer with it. Again, need help? Delegate tasks at home and at work. Get a coach, an instructor, a sponsor. The very best everyday version of you is waiting to be unveiled.

SAGITTARIUS

Ready to free your wild side, Sag? Lucky you are not one of those signs who doesn’t like change. Spontaneity is the spice of life as far as you’re concerned. And the eclipse could be serving this with a side order of adventure.

Are you sitting on a wild idea, Sag? A creative concept that’s been on the back-burner or you’ve simply been mulling over for a while. You may drag it out into the light following the eclipse. Do look to your chart for Sag factors between 8-10 degrees. If there are there, this eclipse trines them. Marking the eclipse as an important creative conduit or rite of passage for you. Combined with the retrograde energy in this house at the moment, this could see you revive a project. And also point to being rewarded or recognised in some way for it.

If you have felt overlooked or even dare I say it – unloved, Sag, then the eclipse marks the point where this begins to change. Hot on the eclipse’s heels is Neptune. And we can’t talk about the eclipse without mentioning the fact that Neptune changes signs the very next day. A wilder, freer love experience could change your life direction completely. Babies, children, co-parenting or even inter-generational friendships widen your horizons. If you are of child bearing age however, don’t take any risks with contraception either under the eclipse itself or during Neptune’s transit of this house. Unless the patter of little feet is your goal.

Your wild side may express itself in creative outpourings which literally seem ‘channelled’ from a source outside of yourself. There’s a divine dance and entanglement awaiting singles. Just be aware that with Venus retrograde now is not the time to seek it out. Others may take that next step with an existing partner – provided that person frees their wild side. Got a dream destination? Start planning. This is the eclipse under which you begin to set sail.

CAPRICORN

You are one of the signs who needs to check their charts for key eclipse factors. Anything between 8-10 degrees in your sign. This is a Cardinal eclipse. So, it will square anything at these degrees. The Moon is also in its ruling house (4^th) in your chart. You are the dweller on the threshold now. Which one? The present or a new one you have yet to cross? As usual with an eclipse – there is more to be revealed.

Family matters, buying, selling, renting, leasing, your Airbnb, your landlord, mortgage broker, bricks and mortar, locality and homeland are all impacted now. Your no place like it. Your sense of security and belonging. Your foundations. Some of you may be looking at a decision to relocate – if so keep in mind Mercury which rules contracts, is retrograde.

This is also your house of owning your own path in life. If you have been living under the shadow of your parents or even your culture, you may break free onto the direction that feels right for you. Traditions need to make sense or evolve to remain relevant or be passed on. If you have made life choices in order to win a parent’s love and/or approval, you will confront this under this eclipse. And ask the big question as to why love should be conditional?

The eclipse can bring in an actual move of home for some. A move on or away for others. As this is your house of security and stability, it rules anything which contributes to that. As in your job, income or even your community. It can be an emotional move where you consciously decide to no longer allow a family dynamic to influence your choices in life. With Neptune’s arrival the day after the eclipse, a portal is opening. Prepare to cross the threshold.

AQUARIUS

If something has been hanging in terms of reaching an agreement, then the eclipse in your 3^rd could mark the point where this happens. However, as eclipses conceal – and this one is a partial eclipse, take it as a given that you may not yet have all the information to hand. Especially if this touches on finances given that Venus is now retrograde in your 2^nd. Along with Mercury which rules contracts and the fine print.

The eclipse combined with this intense retro backdrop, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t sign. Just that you need to ensure you have all the facts to hand before you do. Naturally if you can put this off – May promises to be the ideal time, then do. However, we all understand that deadlines and deals wait for no planet. The key is to be informed.

What you are told, hear, say and send out – especially online, needs verification too. Do ensure you have the facts straight. Do you own due diligence and don’t take it on face value. This is a partial eclipse and you need to remember that the best way to conceal a lie is to mix it up with a partial truth. It’s a classic misdirection move. If you feel uneasy or something simply doesn’t ‘ring true’ – time to ask those penetrating questions.

That being said, a key conversation can lead to a fresh understanding. And yes, this is all about the idea you’ve been sitting on whose time has come. Especially as Neptune arrives as a breath of inspiration the day after the eclipse. It will also point your intuitive compass in the right direction if you still have questions. The truth is out there, Aquarius. And if someone tells you to take no notice of the man behind the curtain – that’s exactly where you need to look.

PISCES

Opportunity like angels, often arrives unawares or in disguise, Pisces. Attune those psychic antenna because something special could literally catch you unawares now.

First up – do keep a tight hold of your purse strings. The eclipse in your 2^nd is about needs – not wants. You need food. You want that Birkin. That’s the difference you need to embrace. Do not be tempted to speculate. And steer clear of taking out new loans, credit cards or borrowing in general. Especially with Venus and Mercury retrograde and back in your sign.

If someone comes to you asking for a loan, only help them out if you can afford to write it off. No matter what they are telling you, they may not be in a position to pay it back. Many of you however may be looking at a big cosmic delivery. A reward, raise or windfall. A bonus or opportunity to increase your income or boost your self-worth under this eclipse.

The shift of an outer planet in our charts, always brings about a major change in our circumstances. Even more so when it is our ruling planet. The eclipse appears the day before ruler Neptune moves into Aries. So, this marks a profound change in your relationship to your money and abundance. And can bring you something aligned with your spiritual values.

Working your worth for something which brings you well – more than just money will play an important role in this new cycle. Look to what money doesn’t buy you. For some of you this may involve trading one thing for another. As in opting for a job which pays less but which makes you time rich instead. What others may see as a loss, you see as a profit or gain. There’s also the potential to turn a creative idea into a real money spinner. Since the lunar eclipse in Virgo earlier this month you’ve been weighing up whether something is worth your investment – or not. Now you’ll know if it has lasting value for you. Or needs to be replaced with something that does.
