The New Moon in Aries occurred at 5:12am GMT+1 on Thursday, April 20.
The astrological event happens when the moon and sun meet in the sky at the same degree, forming a conjunction – blending their energy and bringing intensity.
Don’t be afraid to be experimental and push yourself out of your comfort zone – New Moons are the perfect time for manifestation and a refresh.
The latest New Moon falls in the late degrees of Aries – a sign known for its impulsivity.
This means we might make decision quickly, or jump to conclusions without reviewing facts.
Mercury retrograde, which begins on Friday, April 21, will act as a saving grace and pick up any pieces from the previous 24 hours.
Whatever issues we’ve gotten ourselves into will be resolved by Mercury’s ability to fix problems during its retrograde period.
