The next New Moon is on April 20, the second in the sign of Aries and a hybrid solar eclipse.
This marks the first eclipse of 2023, which occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
New Moons are a time for activation, initiation, creation, and go-getting ambition. It’s time to make a start on new adventures, goals, projects, and activity. You are brimming with energy and enthusiasm, invest it wisely into something that will bring positive rewards.
This New Moon in particular encourages us to see where we haven’t been aligned with what is best for our authentic true self. We are ready to grow and change, and ready to see where we play a role there. We know we can handle it. We are poised to make changes and sacrifices.
Look at your relationship with yourself. Look at how positive an environment you create for yourself to survive and thrive.
Let the tarot give you a nudge as to where you can activate personal growth and fulfilment this New Moon.
