This New-Moon-in-Aries Solar-Eclipse Baño Will Help You Shift Your Reality

Are you feeling the energetic shifts of Aries season? Following last month's new moon in Aries, we embark on yet another Aries new moon, a rare phenomenon known as a double new moon. The energy created from consecutive new moons in Aries can feel earth-shattering with huge shifts underway. It can also bring on subtle yet hugely impactful changes that shift your life in wonderfully unexpected ways, even if it doesn't feel so great at the time. Be patient — the Universe has big plans for you.

Now add a solar eclipse in the mix, and you're in for an interesting ride. The last Aries-new-moon solar eclipse took place in 2015. So it may be a good idea to reflect on where you were in your life the last time around and how far you have come. Congratulate yourself for your wins and losses because lessons are held within both. Remember not to harp on the past, so a quick rewind is all you need to bring yourself to the present and forge ahead in cultivating the life you were destined to live.

As the second Aries new moon rolls around, reinforce the intentions you set during March's new moon in Aries and continue building upon them. Push through self-doubt. Breathe into the endless possibilities of where life can take you. This life is grand, and we often imagine it in a small, safe space, instead of the expansive, unpredictable, profoundly joyous journey it can truly become. You are living proof that magic exists. The moon and its cycles are a reminder to us that we too are an ebb and flow of constant change.

Aries is the beginning. It is the first zodiac sign and the first fire sign. It brings an unapologetic newness to the table that is up for grabs if we want it. So, buckle up. Change doesn't come easy, but the results can be bigger than your biggest, most colorful dreams.

The new-moon-in-Aries solar eclipse takes place on April 20 at 12:12 a.m. EDT. This rare hybrid eclipse combines the energies of an annular eclipse and a total eclipse, which brings a ring of fire around the sun and a complete obstruction of the sun, respectively. Astrologically, this symbolizes massive shifts, which also reflects energetically in our lives.

Aries is the fire starter. The provoker of change. The spark that lights the fire within us all. Aries season is go season. With back-to-back Aries new moons, we've been handed the opportunity to really see ourselves for ourselves and level the hell up. Always love yourself and be kind to yourself along the journey because we all know it can be a bumpy ride. But listen closely and keep your eyes open to the signs because the Universe has interesting ways of nudging us when we need it most.

During the Aries new moon, you can wish for new beginnings and courage. With this new moon, you can focus on yourself. How are you? What do you need? What sets your soul on fire? What is your greatest desire?

Imagine you're standing at the starting line of the biggest race of your life. You have the fire of Aries to back you and the power of the new moon to set your intentions on ways to elevate and continue shining all the way to the finish line.

Ready, set, go!

Dear God, show me the way. I close my eyes and trust you to lead me blindly on the path that is righteously mine. I know challenges and obstacles are merely pathways to my greatness, and I lean on you when it becomes too difficult to bear alone. Thank you for your unconditional love and support. Thank you to my benevolent ancestors, who continue to cheer me on. So be it.
