It is very difficult to observe the New Moon because it is located too close to the Sun. Indeed, the New Moon marks the point at which we turn over a new leaf and is the ideal time to start new things or initiate new projects 💪. During this period, we are encouraged to sow our seeds, so, if you’re planning for a baby, it's worth knowing that the New Moon is the ideal period for conceiving a child.

The beginning of the New Moon inaugurates a new cycle, offering an opportunity to start afresh. It's the ideal time to sow the seeds of our aspirations, to initiate new projects or give life to our desires, with a view to a harvest to come. ♈ Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. It symbolizes the birth of Nature, the energy that sparks ideas, the ardor that drives us to action. This New Moon in Aries contains all that springtime light, so it helps us to regain momentum, relaunch a project, erase the disappointments of winter, if any, and get back into the swing of things...
This Monday, April 8, 2024, the New Moon in Aries is also a total solar eclipse! During a solar eclipse, the Moon positions itself in front of the Sun, completely obscuring its light as seen from Earth. This phenomenon can only occur during the New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in Conjunction, aligned in relation to the Earth. From an astrological point of view, a solar eclipse acts like a more powerful New Moon. So it's crucial to note that whatever we plant on this day will have a significant impact on the future, sometimes up to six months ahead. So it's best to cultivate the positive and avoid conflict, to guarantee a fruitful harvest.
An eclipse plays a revealing role, and on April 8, the New Moon is in conjunction with Chiron, the North Node and Mercury retrograde in Aries. Aries is linked to the first astrological house, the house of the individual. What's more, in this Eclipse sky, we see good aspects between Mars and Saturn (an aspect that reinforces determination), as well as between Jupiter and Uranus (an aspect of opportunities to be seized).
All this suggests that this phenomenon is illuminating our practical and financial areas of life. It's advisable not to rely on others for solutions, but rather on ourselves. This New Moon and solar eclipse indicate that we have the ability to solve problems on our own, to avoid any persistent dysfunctions or delays. Let's have confidence in our abilities!
👉 Everyone is impacted by the "New Moon" but the signs most affected here are Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius. Our ascendant signs are also impacted too; if you are unsure of yours, calculate your rising sign here.

From an astronomical point of view, the New Moon occurs when the Moon finds itself in between the Earth and the Sun, meaning it's impossible to observe in the sky because the illuminated side shines away from us. During this stage, the Sun, and the Moon are next to each other, on the same degree of the zodiac, forming a Sun conjunct Moon composition.
This monthly cycle has huge impacts that we must pay attention to, especially with regard to our moods and bodies 🤸. Indeed, it symbolizes a second chance and blesses you with a clean slate. That's why it's the perfect time to meditate, plan and organize your next steps towards success. In short, its purifying energy helps you in your reflection and analysis.
Despite this dimly lit phase, we know that the sky hasn't been abandoned and that the Moon will appear again. The absence of light during this phase can be destabilizing, although, if you embrace the darkness, you'll soon understand that it can be a doorway to any possibility and the energy contained in your intentions will soon manifest.
