Welcome to the Aries New Moon 2026. The Aries New Moon is always a special one because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. Yes, all New Moons are new beginnings. But Aries placement as the first of the twelve signs of the zodiac makes any Aries New Moon a particularly poignant and powerful new beginning. Especially for those with an Aries Sun or with strong Aries in their birth charts. But this year, with all the other astrological factors adding emphasis (no planets retrograde, the Year of the Fire Horse, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, the five outer planets shifting from one sign to another), there is a lot more power available to you. Use it.
Pisces is so very complex. It is singlehandedly the most spiritual, the most psychic, the most sensitive and the most creative. At the same time, when ungrounded and untethered, it is the most confused and confusing, deceitful, delusional, unconscious, and illusive. It is for just such reasons the constellation for Pisces became symbolized by two fish, swimming in different directions with their tails tied together.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Aquarius is here.
The herald of mind-bending, consciousness-raising, evolutionary philosophies and experiences, Aquarius does not arrive for its annual date with the Sun with anything remotely resembling subtlety. No. Aquarius makes an entrance. This year, the arrival of the sign that rules rebellions, revolutions, democracies, and change is not only no exception, but it is far more intense than usual. It is more intense than most of us have seen in decades. In the immortal words of Gil Scott Heron, “… the revolution will not be televised…. the revolution will be live.” And if your community is anything like mine right now, part of it is happening in your neighborhood, just down the street.
