Your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the solar eclipse New Moon in Aries

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.

There are areas in life that you’ve been done to, sat back on, waited and seen what happened, allowed others to dictate the action… enough!

The Ace of Wands asks you to start something authentically you, aimed at supporting the development of your best self. It’s likely to be a hobby, creative project, pastime, hobby, travel ambition or lifestyle routine. Take a class, take a trip, take up a new activity.

Justice is a powerful card reminding you that karma is always watching. Don’t be tempted to take a shortcut, blast someone behind their back, gloat over a victory, or play a shady hand.

Be fair, be just, be ethical. Follow your moral compass and do the right thing (especially where you’re tempted not to). This will yield rewards you can’t yet see, but will be powerful and affirming.

Pursue what interests you or what would be useful to your career. Make this practical and tangible. Start today!

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for the New Moon in Aries: The Hanged Man

You are a clever, perceptive person but sometimes a little rigid or set in your own opinions and standards. The Hanged Man asks you to let all of that go.

Let your inner voice be quiet. Put yourself in another’s shoes. Consider ideas or opinions you usually shut down. Look through a new lens from a different angle. Amazing enlightening opportunities lie ahead when you get out of your own head.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for the New Moon in Aries: Nine of Coins

By that I mean things like mortgages, pensions, investments, shifts to a healthy sustained lifestyle, caring for the environment in daily life, working on a future career path, seeking to change location or buy a new home.

Look ahead. The Nine of Coins plays the long game and sets a far-out goal and then redesigns the here and now to work towards it. This can be your guiding light.

Scorpio

You are ready to move, be that literally or figuratively and it’s all driven by an evolving new purpose and direction. You want something different and it probably means you need to change your environment.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for the New Moon in Aries: The Lovers

Meaning: Your New Moon in Aries personal development energy is focused on commitment. I know that’s a bit of a dirty word for many Sagittarians, but here we are: stick or twist.

Decide what (or who) you truly want and commit to that path, no dithering or playing both options or hedging your bets. Let people know where they stand and let yourself be fully focused on what you want.

The Lovers shows you feel torn. That’s okay, it just shows you have a choice to make. So make it.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn for the New Moon in Aries: The Emperor

Meaning: Your New Moon in Aries personal development energy is focused on power and control. As in you need to exercise more of both.

You are a stoic, strong, determined, shrewd person. If you don’t know best then I don’t know who does!

The Emperor brings you a surge of power and self confidence, of personal belief and ambition. Use it. Put it into tangible projects, tasks and actions. Take the lead and do what suits you, Cap. This is your time.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for the New Moon in Aries: Ten of Wands

Meaning: Your New Moon in Aries personal development energy is focused on deep rest. I mean it!

This is not about being lazy, dropping out, letting people down. This is about scheduling proper and rewarding phases of restorative relaxation and deep rest so that you can fire on cylinders when you need to.

You aren’t doing this for yourself right now, and you’re becoming increasingly fatigued. The Ten of Wands is a burnout signal. Stop this. Rest and take it seriously.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for the New Moon in Aries: Five of Swords

Meaning: Your New Moon in Aries personal development energy is focused on healing a conflict.

You hate fall outs and tension, but they are part of life. Don’t focus on the noise, seek the root cause and actual crux of the matter and talk to people at that level about that issue. Calmly, compassionately, with a ‘seek to understand’ hat on.

The Five of Swords shows you can mediate and heal this rift, maybe only you can. Try your best. It’s going to be worth it. Peace at last.
