The partial solar eclipse is happening in the early morning of March 29th. Solar eclipses always occur during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon align in the same zodiac sign. Not every new moon brings an eclipse. What makes this event special is its connection to the lunar nodes, the points where the Moon’s orbit crosses the Sun’s apparent path. When a new moon aligns closely with these nodes, we get a solar eclipse.

This particular eclipse occurs in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. Aries is linked to the life focus area “self”—our identity, independence, and courage—making this eclipse an invitation to step into a fresh chapter of self-discovery and personal growth. If you've been feeling the urge to initiate something new, redefine yourself, or take a more authentic path, this eclipse in Aries supports that transformation.

While eclipses can be unpredictable, they are always catalysts for change. Unlike a typical new moon, which is ideal for setting intentions, eclipses tend to fast-track events, revealing what’s been hidden and pushing us toward what’s meant for us. Rather than trying to control the outcome, the best way to work with eclipse energy is to flow with it—engaging in activities that align with its themes while staying open to what unfolds.

To make the most of this Aries-powered reset, here are 8 fun activities you can do.

 

1. Journal on What You Want to Invite In with the New Moon Cycle

Take a moment to journal about what you want to bring into this new moon cycle. Tap the “Set Intentions” button and start reflecting!

Aries energy is direct and passionate—let yourself write freely and boldly about your desires. What areas of your life feel ready for a reset? Where do you want to take the lead? Eclipse energy speeds things up, so clarity is key.

 

2. Set Your New Moon Intentions

New moons are a time for planting seeds. Add a couple intentions that align with the fresh start this eclipse offers. 

Since Aries rules the self, consider setting intentions around confidence, personal growth, or taking action on a dream. Be specific but flexible—eclipses have a way of unfolding in unexpected ways!

 

3. Create a Vision Board for Motivation & Inspiration

Making a vision board is a great way to bring life to your intentions. Choose images that light a fire within you and keep you inspired to keep working towards your dreams. 

Pro tip: over the course of the moon cycle, build the habit of watching your vision board meditation to strengthen your connection to your intentions 

 

4. Turn Intentions Into Actionable Steps

Intentions gain power when backed by action. Make a short to-do list of steps you can take this moon cycle to bring your goals to life. 

Aries energy supports boldness, so don’t overthink it—just start! Even small steps, like signing up for a class, reaching out to a mentor, or setting a daily reminder, can create momentum.

 

5. Listen to Affirmations That Support Your Intentions

Affirmations help rewire your mindset and keep your focus strong. Listen to affirmations that align with your intentions. 

Guided Affirmation Meditations are available for each life area, inspired by the zodiac signs. Listen to the affirmation meditation for whichever area of life you are manifesting your intention in for an extra boost of self-belief.

 

6. Start a New Habit That Aligns with Your Goals

This moon cycle is an opportunity to build a habit that supports your growth. If you created a to do list from menu item #4, choose one of the actions as a positive habit you can build with the moon.

What daily or weekly habit could help you move closer to your vision? Whether it’s a morning routine, journaling practice, workout, or creative ritual, starting now can set the tone for lasting transformation.

 

7. Make a Gratitude List for Yourself

Aries energy is about self-empowerment—this is a time to celebrate your strengths, talents, and the qualities that make you uniquely you. Write all the things you love about yourself in the gratitude section of your daily journal.

8. Do One Self-Care Activity That Refreshes You

This new moon partial eclipse is a fresh start. Choose an activity that makes you feel energized and refreshed. Whether it’s a long walk, an invigorating workout, a hot shower, a creative outlet, or simply resting. Honor what your body and mind need today.

 

Eclipses have a way of shifting our paths in unexpected ways, but you can choose to embrace this cosmic reset with intention. Whether you’re setting goals, taking inspired action, or simply honoring where you are, trust that this eclipse is guiding you toward the next chapter of your journey. Stay open, stay present, and let the energy of this new moon spark the confidence to step into the best version of yourself.
