New Moon in Aries 12 April 2021 - What’s it about?
So let’s briefly look at the anatomy of this Aries New Moon, then lay out the Aries New Moon Horoscope for every Star Sign :)
Aries New Moon Ruler Mars in Gemini: Explore your options!
Mars in brainy Gemini is the ruler of this New Moon, sharp as a knife. What are your weapons? Trade, dialogue, having a voice, greater freedom of movement! Question things, initiate debate, speak up. And if one way doesn’t work, try another.
There’s no single way to do this. Gemini is all about alternatives. You have options! This New Moon is sure to create lots of commotion.
Mars out of Bounds: Frothing at the mouth!
Mars in Gemini is out of bounds and there's tons of anger bubbling to the surface.
You won’t suffer fools! The Aries New Moon of April 12th finally releases the valve, putting the energy at your disposal.
Embrace the energy! It takes effort to keep the lid on things. And when it all rises to the surface, it frees up your energy to do stuff. And that’s what this New Moon is all about. Aries is all about action, taking the initiative.
With all the planets direct too, you have the willpower to move mountains from April 12th onwards!
Mars square Neptune: Letting go...
This New Moon also represents a massive letting go, a dissolution of sorts. A Mars-Neptune square is fading as the New Moon arrives, unleashing great emotion, helping you let go of the past, of any disappointment or sorrow.
Now’s the time to take action toward your dreams, to let go of whatever you're holding onto and serve something much greater.
Aries New Moon Square Pluto: Transformative Intensity!
The energy at your disposal is volcanic - a laser beam of energy to direct at will - and it can bring great transformation.
The Aries New Moon is conjunct Venus, Mercury, Chiron, Lilith and Eris and the whole lot is square to transformative Pluto. It’s all or nothing, do or die! There’s a survivalist feel to it but also the capacity for great healing through positive assertive action.
It’s time to face long standing fears, harness that nuclear energy within and transform a situation that’s dragged on for far too long.
New Moon at apex of Mars-Jupiter trine: Good luck!
It will all work out in the end. Why? Because serendipity is at work. This Aries New Moon is incredibly lucky!
Mars trines Jupiter, with the New Moon in the middle, giving you perfect timing! This is like a great big resounding YES! A great opportunity! This lucky window perfects on the 14th-15th of April with Mercury bringing up a benevolent tailwind on April 17th. Make your move!
April New Moon Sabian Symbol
"A Pregnant Woman in a Summer Dress"

Others look to you for guidance - in fact, you are their secret weapon! What a well kept secret you are!

There has never been a better opporutnity to tackle toxicity head on! A public opportunity is opening up for you to showcase your skill, but it goes straight through your fears.

Enough! Everything is just right for you to experience a taste of your own power and sort this toxic situation out!
Libra: What a Champion!

And that’s what makes you so invincible! A formidable foe, a fierce competitor, a most courageous, heroic ally.

Clear the air with a family member, renovate your home, buy or sell, take the initiative and get to the root of a matter! A tree is only as strong as its roots, and now’s a perfect opportunity to strengthen them. Make space for yourself to have strong roots. You’ve been working hard, honing your skills, building up your resources. It’s time to pour all that into building a strong foundation for the future.

Pisces: Show 'em what you've got!
How are your finances, dear Pisces? If the answer is ‘mneh’ it’s time to face your fears and take some bold initiatives. Use this Aries New Moon to go on the financial offensive! There’s a lot of emotional energy at your disposal to make the changes you need and build self confidence. Your home situation is a hotbed of activity and you’ve been battling demons in your inner psychological landscape too. But by mid-April, the doors open wide for you to unleash all those pent up emotions to create some sacred space for yourself. There, in your sanctuary, you can finally gather your resources and build your strength. And that’s the seed of your future abundance - a brave new financial beginning, allowing you to assert your worth and receive the proper return.
