In this episode, I break down why this new moon is a genuine turning point after three years of eclipse-season turbulence in Aries, what the rare seven-planet Aries stellium means for your energy and your chart, and why this moment is asking you one very specific question: What haven’t you let yourself start yet?

In this episode:

* The last three Aries new moons were solar eclipses — and why this one being eclipse-free is such a big deal

* The rare seven-planet Aries stellium (including Saturn and Neptune together, a thousands-of-years occurrence) and what it means collectively and personally

* Chiron conjunct the sun: the wounds around boldness, beginning, and doing things your own way

* Mars as your sacred no — how decisiveness is actually an act of power, not loss

* Why the planets don’t make you do anything (but they do make certain things easier or harder)

* How to find the Aries house in your chart and what it reveals about where you’re being called to step up

* Tower card energy, collective shaky foundations, and Mars conjunct Saturn post-new moon

* Glamour magic ideas for the new moon: bold color, scent as armor, and the power of small symbolic acts
