New Moon in Aries Lunar Cycle 2024

My notes about which aspects I’m looking taking a closer look at in my moon mapping notebook.

New Moon

On April 8, 2024 2:20pm edt, the New Moon in Aries will eclipse the Sun signaling a time of major change and new beginnings. The New Moon invites us to visualize our intentions. How do we want our outcome to feel?The Moon will also be conjunct Chiron in Aries at 2:21pm edt, providing an opportunity to heal something we’ve longed to redefine.

Affirm: I am healed.

Waxing Crescent Moon

On April 11, 2024 the moon will be Waxing Crescent in Gemini at 10:06pm edt. This phase invites us to plan the actions we must take to achieve our goals. At 12:22pm edt the Moon in Gemini will trine Pluto in Aquarius. The energy of this aspect could inspire us to see who our highest selves can be. Our thoughts will easily be in harmony for this experience.

A useful crystal for this phase is apophyllite which promotes introspection and assists us in recognizing our own true selves (The Crystal Zodiac by Judy Hall).

Affirm: I know how to transcend my distress to see the truth.

First Quarter Moon

The moon entered its First Quarter phase in the sign of Cancer at 3:13pm edt. The First Quarter Moon is an ideal time to take action on our plans.

Jupiter is conjunct Uranus in Taurus.

Goal Setting With the Moon- Waning Crescent

This blog series is intended to support you in setting goals in alignment with the 28 day lunar cycle. See the first post in this series if you haven’t already.

Waning Crescent Moon

Day 25 - 28

Day 25-28

The end of the old cycle. Detach from the world and rest and re-group. Restore yourself in preparation for the next beginning.

The moon will be in Aquarius and Pisces, making esoteric and spiritual pursuits perfectly suited for restoration. Music and art would also be beneficial. Cleanse your space to make room for the next project or goal.

Ask yourself:

How did/does my goal contribute to the highest good?

What should I have learned about myself from this process?

On 4/7/2021 the moon in Pisces is conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius. Jupiter in Aquarius brings expansive, prophetic, progressive energy. It also indicates gain from employment. While the moon in Pisces brings a love of change and diversity, sometimes can make one feel easily discouraged. Adjust your environment to increase your resolve.

On 4/10/2021 The moon in Aries will sextile Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 and will remain there until 2024. This placement of Pluto puts emphasis on work ethic, social position, and the disruption of political patterns. The moon in Aries brings the energy of leadership, dominance, and competition this is a favorable combination close out the final tasks needed to attain this lunar cycle’s goal.

Try to wrap up your big project by April 27, 2021 when Pluto goes retrograde in Capricorn and may make progression slower in general.

Check out the previous post in this series which discusses goal setting with the Last Quarter Moon.

I’m currently creating a downloadable guide that will help you goal set systematically with the moon, in any moon cycle. Please be sure to join my newsletter in order to be sent the download link as soon as it’s available.

I hope this series gave you useful ideas and examples for how to plan goals across the lunar cycle taking the moon’s phases and astrology into account. The next new moon is April 11, 2021 at 6:02am eastern daylight time.
