As an Aries myself, I’m included when I say it’s our own ego that doesn’t want to admit when we’re the one causing the problems or dysfunction. Honestly evaluating yourself is one of the most difficult things you can do and few actually try it. Every New Moon is meant for new beginnings. New beginnings start with inner reflection and spiritual growth. I’m nothing close to a trained counselor, but if you ever come to me for advice the first two things I ask are,”What are you independently doing to solve this problem?” Followed by, “What is your direct desire for the project, product, or goal to end up like?” Most people, including myself again, pucker up and can’t give a single explanation of how they’ve gotten something done. They'll give ten reasons why everything fell apart, or how it was “someone else’s” fault with no sense of independent accountability. After those responses many say, “Well, I just don’t know what I want.” I’ll always tell you recognizing what you want is the most important step in any process. The essence of this new Moon is for you to recognize these issues and spark the inspiration for a change. Much like the first step in Alcoholics Anonymous. You identify you have a problem and want to make a change. Whether that change is large or small, use this lunation to set your intent. Get the thought planted into your subconscious mind and the physical body will eventually follow. Most importantly, try not to get so distracted by what might happen in three days that you neglect proper procedures today. It’s like when someone puts wrong numbers in a set of blueprints.  The builder simply follows instructions with the info provided and the mistake isn’t realized until it’s a costly repair. Now the project is five steps in and you have to take three steps back. 

My best suggestion for this alignment is to find an incomplete project you started a while ago and get back to work on that. Steps one, two, and three, are usually more exciting than steps four, five, and six and I’m sure there’s something you gave up that needs completion. Even if you lost your interest years ago, it’s never too late to restart. Or, something you can begin and complete in an extremely short amount of time. Aries is known for inspiration but that can only last so long. Your first cup of coffee eventually wears off and you’ll need another jolt later down the line. Sometimes, that jolt is an extreme emotional arousal that stems from an argument or significant struggle. I know I get a lot more done when I get all pissed off. Aries is also known for being impatient and disruptive as well. The Romans named Aries as the God of war for a reason and this sign generally won’t back down from a fight. Don’t be surprised if you’re the one initiating or instigating all the arguments and drama. Remember, not everyone around you is going to be receptive to your ego or ideas. You’ll have to manage each accordingly. Sometimes the sudden influx of energy and emotions can be like switching on the power without a surge protector. You might be highly charged to do something, but if you have no direction nothing everything kinda explodes at the end. Instances like that occur because Aries is a full throttle sign that will charge into something without hesitation or thinking things through.
