The new moon in Aries is exact on April 17 at 7:51 a.m. eastern, and it’s a blockbuster! Keep in mind that new moons are about new starts, and that this particular new moon is at the start of the zodiac wheel and in the sign that is all about starting new things.
In addition to the sun and moon being in Aries, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune, and the dwarf planets Chiron and Eris are also currently in Aries. Having this much energy in Aries is extremely rare.
To work with the energies of this new moon, you can embody Aries traits, including being bold, passionate, assertive, motivated, and eager to take on a leadership role. Honestly, with all of this Aries influence in the planets, it won’t be hard to get in character. Focus on the self—specifically, what you want and how you’re going to get it.

Remember, though, that the Universe makes no mistakes. All of this Aries influence gives you the chance to develop healthy ways to be unapologetically you. So watch out for the shadow side of Aries, such as being impatient, behaving recklessly, and having poor anger management.
Think of the Emperor card in tarot, which is associated with the sign of Aries. It encourages you to take control of your situation by making good decisions, taking the actions needed to reach your goals, and setting appropriate boundaries. It’s a reminder that no one is going to look after you as well as you can. With wisdom and experience, this can be done without hurting other people in the process.
