This is not your average New Moon in Aries. As you may have heard Aries is absolutely loaded with planetary energy in 2026... again speaking to A Whole New Era in Humanity. Today's new moon energy is merging with the energy of Chiron which is known as the Wounded Healer. SO, for those of you on this healing journey... it's Go Time. You're getting a chance to visit all of your wounds and actually be present with them so that you can finally shed these lifelong patterns. This is not easy work. And for those of you with Aries in your birth charts, you are being extraordinarily activated this year.
The upcoming Aries New Moon on April 17th, or potentially the 18th depending on your location, arrives at 27 degrees of Aries and brings a profound wave of activation.
This is not just a standard lunar reset, as this lunation is conjunct both Chiron and Eris, carrying deep layers of ancient experiences, understanding, and self-actualization.
This fiery energy is activating what you have healed and what you have survived, directly impacting your rising sense of self. The New Moon signature is a soul reset to begin a new chapter based on what you have been through. It heralds a powerful declaration of that next level of who you came here to be.
The reason Chiron is such a significant player during this New Moon is that it sits at 26 degrees of Aries, which is territory it has already covered.
You have been on an unfolding healing journey, and this lunation brings a new light of consciousness to how your past has defined you, healed you, and ultimately helped you become more self-loving.
This is a true wounded warrior strengthening energy. Because Chiron is returning to this degree, you are encountering familiar themes but within a completely new energy field, allowing you to see your circumstances and yourself in a whole new light.
