There is something unmistakably alive about this New Moon in Aries. It doesn’t whisper, it initiates. It sparks. It asks us to begin again, but not from scratch… from truth.
This lunation carries a rare depth. While Aries is often associated with bold starts and independent fire, this New Moon is infused with profound healing and responsibility. Conjunct Chiron, the master healer and Saturn, the wise teacher, we are invited into a new kind of beginning: one rooted in courage and accountability, passion and presence.
This is not just a moment to set intentions. It’s a portal to embody them.
The Astrology: A Fire That Heals and Grounds
With the Sun and Moon in Aries, joined by Mercury, Mars, and Neptune, we are surrounded by potent initiatory energy. Aries teaches us to act, but Chiron reminds us that our wounds are not weaknesses; they are gateways. Saturn asks us to commit to the long road of healing, not just the inspiration of the moment.
This is not impulsive fire; it is sacred fire.
Mars, Aries’ ruler, brings drive and vitality, while Mercury sharpens our thoughts and communication. Neptune softens the edges, dissolving ego and inviting spiritual awareness into our actions. Together, they create a dynamic interplay between instinct and intuition.
Meanwhile, Mars in Aries forms a powerful connection with Pluto in Aquarius, activating collective transformation. There is a strong call here to move beyond the individual and into community healing, aligning beautifully with the heart of our boutique retreats.
The South Node in Virgo reminds us to release perfectionism, over-analysis, and self-criticism. We are not here to “get it right”. We are here to feel, to trust, and to evolve.
Uranus at the critical degree of Taurus adds an electric undercurrent of change, especially around how we relate to our bodies, security, and the material world. Venus in Taurus, however, brings us back home to pleasure, to grounding, to the wisdom of embodiment.
This New Moon is an invitation to return to the body as a sacred space.
At Serenity Space in London SW18, we are uniquely positioned to support this journey. The energy of Aries asks us to take action, but Taurus reminds us that true transformation happens through embodiment. Through touch, movement, breath, and presence.
Our therapies offer more than relaxation; they serve as portals to release stored tension, emotional residue, and energetic stagnation. Under this New Moon, bodywork can help anchor the fire of Aries into the physical, allowing intentions to root deeply rather than burn out quickly.
Our trainings provide structure, Saturn’s gift. They help turn inspiration into mastery, guiding our community to not only experience health but to hold it, share it, and live it.
And our extensive class schedule creates rhythm and connection. In a time where Aquarius energy calls us into collective evolution, coming together in shared practice becomes a powerful act of co-creation.
Ema Burgess’ New Moon Ceremony: Holding the Energy
With Chiron present, this is a space where vulnerability becomes strength. Where wounds are witnessed, honoured, and gently transformed. Ema’s guidance can help channel the Aries fire into intentional, heart-led action rather than reactive movement.
Through cacao ritual, guided meditation, and conscious intention setting, the ceremony becomes a bridge between the spiritual and the physical. Neptune’s influence allows us to dream, while Saturn ensures those dreams are grounded in reality.
This is not just about calling in what we desire; it’s about becoming the version of ourselves who can hold it.
Embodiment, Intention, and Community
This New Moon reminds us that healing is not a solo journey.
The Aquarius influence speaks to community, innovation, and shared vision. At Serenity Space, we are invited to lean into this, to support one another, to witness each other’s growth, and to remember that collective healing amplifies individual transformation.
Venus in Taurus encourages us to enjoy the process. To find pleasure in the small moments. To reconnect with the senses, the breath, the body.
And Uranus asks us to stay open to change, to breakthroughs, to new ways of being.
A New Beginning, Rooted in Truth
As we set intentions under this New Moon, we are asked:
What am I ready to begin, honestly, not perfectly?
Where can I allow healing to guide my actions?
How can I show up not just for myself, but for my community?
At Serenity Space, we don’t just set intentions, we live them. Through touch, movement, learning, and connection, we embody the change we seek.
This Aries New Moon is a spark. But it is through consistency, care, and community that it becomes a flame that lasts.
Let this be the beginning of something real.
New Moon Blessings,
Trish x
