Aries season already carries the energy of a beginning — it’s the first sign of the zodiac, the spark before the flame, the inhale before the leap. And since it’s the first new moon since the astrological new year, the New Moon in Aries is inviting you to reset within the reset.

Aries is the sign that rules initiation, desire, and the courage to simply begin. The ram doesn’t deliberate. It doesn’t ask for permission or soften its edges to make others more comfortable. It moves toward what it wants — and for just a little while that energy is available to all of us.

So this new moon, we’re not just setting intentions. We’re going back to the most foundational questions there are:

Who am I, right now, in this version of my life?

What do I actually want?

Not what you wanted last year. Not what looks good on paper. Not the edited, palatable version you’d share in a room full of people or in a newsletter update. The real thing. The tender, fiery, unfiltered thing.

For this ritual, you’ll need:

-About 20 minutes in a quiet, private space

-A journal and something to write with

-A candle

Something red — a crystal, an object, or a red candle — to call in the energy of Aries and its ruler, Mars

Light your candle. Set your red object beside it. Let this time be just for you.

And let yourself want things.

After you’ve sat with the ritual — how are you feeling? Take some time to reflect on what surfaced and let yourself continue to write for as long as it feels good.

Full moons are points of culmination, illumination, and release — and this one falls in Libra, the sign of the scales. In this ritual we’re using that energy to pause, look inward, and ask: how am I truly doing right now?

This ritual includes a guided video, a breathing meditation, and a vessel check-in — a wellness wheel inspired by the houses of astrology that invites you to assess the different areas of your life not for perfect “balance,” but for the harmony that’s right for your current season. Because balance isn’t 50/50. Different seasons call for different ingredients, different amounts.

This practice helps you listen to what’s actually true for you so you can celebrate where you’re feeling fulfilled and identify where to pour your energy next.

For this ritual you'll need:

About 15 minutes of uninterrupted space

A notebook, journal, or loose leaf paper

Something to write with

Optional: colored pencils, pens, or crayons

Tending To Your Vessel Check-In

This practice is one I teach inside The Mothermind Leadership Training, and it’s something you can return to at the start of any new season — a new astrological year, after a big life transition, when your rhythms shift. You are invited to come back to it often.

In this practice you’ll move through your wellness wheel, rating how fulfilled you feel in 12 different areas of your life — your body, your relationships, your work, your community, and more.

We are coming out of one of the most potent astrological seasons of the year — and if you’ve been feeling it, this episode is for you.

This week’s episode isn’t here to give you more information. It’s here to give you something we need now more than ever: a moment of integration. A guided ritual to help you process, reflect, compost, and complete the last six weeks of Eclipse season — so you can move forward with clarity, rootedness, and intention.

Inside this episode, I walk you through a full integration ritual that includes:

-Grounding and settling into sacred space

-Celebrating what you accomplished (big or small)

-Reflecting on what didn’t go as planned — and finding the medicine in it

-Asking why from a higher perspective, especially during Eclipse season

-Clarifying how you want to move forward differently

This ritual is one you can return to after any significant period — a launch, a project, a season of motherhood, a challenging relationship. But Eclipse portals in particular are potent harvesting moments. Especially this one. With the North Node now in Aquarius and the South Node in Leo, the lessons coming through are about our leadership and our communities.

I also share some exciting news at the end — the Moon Rituals are coming back as part of our paid tier starting in April with the new astrological year!
