Aries describes the initial experience of a soul incarnating on Earth. It is primal and driven by survival instinct. This archetype relies on their independence and self-sufficiency to make their way through the external world. They have a dogged determination to prove  they can make it on their own. They are generous with their enthusiasm and can be tremendous cheerleaders bolstering the confidence and bravery of others. Healthy Aries thrives off the feeling of progress, courage, expansion, and newness.

Pisces is the primordial womb and Aries is the infant. It is the first experience of separation and the primal urge to survive. It carries in its tool kit courage, independence, grit, determination, enthusiasm, and a pioneering spirit. This is manifest in every spring shoot, every new blossom, and every baby in the animal kingdom.

 

The Aries New Moon inspires us to bring forward a new part of ourselves that requires all the grit and determination of a Spring flower. It also asks us to honor who we are—not the identity that is relative to another, such as mother, daughter, brother, friend, but that unique quality that is as it is.

Aries New Moon Intentions might include the following:​

  • Being brave

  • Challenging fears and limitations

  • Initiating a new project

  • Moving the body

  • Having independent adventures

  • Exploring a new area

  • Updating an old identity

  • Trying a new look

  • Identifying non-negotiable needs

I recognize that I have the ability to be selfish, but I also recognize that you can't be happy if you only care about yourself at the expense of other people.

As a performer, I'm very, very confident in what I do.

Strength does not have to be belligerent and loud.

At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.

*******

Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure - that of being Salvador Dali.

I decided at 15 that I didn't want to be one of those artists that gets up and sings love songs they don't mean.

I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I've had, things I've been through, and even the stuff I'm embarrassed about.

*******

I was brought up to question authority, and thank God for that.

*******

A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

*******

I was a very defensive kid 'cause I was really sensitive underneath and didn't want people to know. So I came off as very tough and very angry.

Aries New Moon

Dark and deep and nearly healed

I hear her singing me out of the Earth again

Come out! She calls.

Together we’ll grow!

I have no history

and no reason to stay

In one green impulse,

I break through the soil

Elisabet Ney was a German-born sculptor who created stunning work focused on capturing the essence of the individual. She was fiercely determined to break into the male-dominated world of sculpting. Initially, her parents were unsupportive of her passion . . . until she went on a hunger-strike to prove the intractable nature of her artistic impulse. She went on to become the first woman to study sculpture at the Munich Academy of Art.
