About the Moon in Aries

The Aries new moon on April 17, 4:52 am PST really brings the spark needed for a new beginning. 

Being the first new moon of Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere), the astrological year, and in the first sign of the zodiac, the potential and excitement for hitting the reset button can feel especially easy now.

But there’s an added sense of courage and boldness in the air. It’s not just that the sun and moon are aligned in Aries, but also Chiron, Mars, Neptune, Mercury, and Saturn are all in Aries, too. The perfect fiery energy to connect us with our desires, our passion—to reflect on what we really want and take those first steps to get it, throwing caution to the wind. (Or, set off an explosion, if not careful).

Like the spark that lights the fire, Aries is a cardinal fire sign that inspires and emboldens us. Ruled by the red planet Mars, there’s a certain physicality, passion, and boldness to its energy. Aries pushes us to find our courage, curate boldness, and take those first steps. 

Of course, balance is important. Aries can run the risk of explosiveness and impulsivity. Under such energy, one can easily be triggered or impatient. The trick is in gauging where to temper the flame and where to feed it, rather than holding your potential back.

So with the sun and moon aligning in Aries, alongside the other celestial bodies in Aries, it’s truly a time to trail-blaze. Connect to your sense of courage and bravery, to the passion or new beginning that moves you and let that divine spark inspire you to get started. Don’t let perfectionism or unsureness hold you back from trying. It’s a time for action.

 Perfect for fiery recipe to harness passion and vitality in our lives!

Creating a Aries Moon Recipe & Ritual

Imbibe the invigorating, passionate energies of the Aries moon with this spiced, juicy, gin and lemon Moscow mule. With spices like clove and ginger for that flaming Aries passion and action, yet tempered with lunar lemon and grounding gin, this cocktail is sure to help ground and direct this lunar energy for success, passion, and healing. A bit of lunar- and Aries-associated blackberry adds in extra energies of healing, abundance, protection, and a bit of lust to this concoction. Meanwhile, juniper-based gin makes up the base for this cocktail as it is associated with both the moon and Aries as well, and helps to ground out the more fiery Aries vibes, while enhancing energies of purification, psychic abilties, and love. For this Moscow mule variation, I used lemon instead of lime, since lemon is associated with the moon and is great for longevity, love, and purification, but feel free to use lime for hex-breaking and more “fire element” energies if you are looking to really break through some big barriers with that Aries determination.

Other Aries Moon Ritual Recipes

In addition to the recipe below, I also have other Aries-Inspired or similar recipes that can be perfect for imbibing at the Aries Moon:

For Simple Sipping: Cocktail making can be easy! Just swap ingredients or remove as you see fit. Use the material here & the ingredient reference list towards the bottom to help guide you in your own unique concoction, and get creative in swapping ingredients you may not have.

Aries Spiced Mule

Inspired Energies: Money, Power, Love, Healing

For this cocktail, I used a syrup from the end of this blog. Feel free to improvise as desired! Plus, you can try adding a dash of cinnamon for extra spice, motivation, and movement, or a float (1/4 – 1/2 ounce) of allspice liqueur or ginger liqueur to your cocktail, some extra Aries fire!

I personally used New Amsterdam’s Gin for this concoction. But always feel free to try switching out the base alcohol for one you prefer, or feel more called to!

Aries Moon Mocktail

I firmly believe you can turn many cocktails (given they aren’t purely alcohol) into a mocktail! And with ginger beer, it is super easy to do so with this concoction. See below how I vary ingredient ratios to make this into a magical mocktail (non-alcoholic cocktail).

The Syrup

Inspired Energies: Success, Love, Money, Invigoration 

Add some Aries spice to your life with this fiery cocktail syrup. With ginger, comforting clove, and strengthening saffron, this syrup is packed with fiery Aries energies for success, vitality, and passion. Use this cocktail syrup in recipes to inspire energy to burst through barriers and get productive.

Bonus Tips: You can use the syrup for more than just this cocktail! For one, the full moon energy tends to set the energetic tone until the new moon, so you can reuse the syrup to call up energy of passion and inspiration. But also, you can add this syrup to any cocktail, mocktail (non-alcoholic cocktail), or even coffee, tea or iced tea, and as a glaze for dishes like a simple fruit salad

Aries Moon Crystals

As a crystal healing practitioner, I can’t help myself when it comes to crystals and working with lunar energy! Here are some crystals/stones I recommend for further utilizing the energy of the Aries Moon. To layer on the energetic & magical frequencies, you can meditate with your given crystal beforehand, keep it on you as make and/or sip the drink, as well as attune the crystal to the drink by visualizing both the drink and crystal resonating together with your intention, as you hold the crystal against the outside of the glass. (Don’t put your crystal in any of the cocktail components unless you know for sure it is not toxic). Here are their energies and why I suggest them (as it relates to the full moon).

• Carnelian (Root, Sacral, & Solar Plexus Chakras) is a powerful stone for the bottom chakras. In ancient times was believed to invoke courage and boldness. In addition to aiding with this leadership type qualities, carnelian helps give physical vitality and energy, and is helpful to people in manifesting who are seeking to take that first step, or have the energy to pursue their dreams.

• Bloodstone (Root Chakra) inspires courage in the face of obstacles and change. Instilling the wearer with vitality, Bloodstone assists with fulfillment and endurance in pursuit of commitments and aspirations. It is also an excellent stone to dispel loneliness, fear, and inspire inner strength.

• Red Jasper (Root, Sacral Chakras) is a strong base chakras stone, making it helpful for strength and energy, and also supporting kundalini energy. Its ability to strengthen chi makes Red Jasper a great healing and stabilization stone. Red Jasper tends to promote soft, slow changes to build the foundation for more permanent and enduring change.

• Aragonite (star cluster) – If you find yourself more emotionally activated at this moon, a star cluster formation of aragonite can help create energetic stability while still invoking the vitality and strength of the Aries Moon. Aragonite promotes expression through the arts and one’s choice of words, so that you can better express your emotions at this time to invite healing and growth. This gorgeous stone also helps one attune to “higher” wisdom, which can be useful for problem solving at this time. So all in all, a great balancing stone to work with to help counter the more fiery emotional energies of this moon, while still using Aries vitality and productivity.

• Blue Lace Agate – Associated with the throat chakra, blue lace agate is a powerful communication and calming stone that can assist those feeling emotionally triggered with the Aries Moon. Tuning you into your higherself, this stone will help you not only keep calm and relaxed, but also communicate with mental clarity.

• Garnet – If you find yourself particularly emotionally “activated” at this time, and want to use that for introspection, garnet is great choice. Garnet (Sacral, Root Chakra) is lovely grounding stone that assists one in recognizing repressed emotions for healing and growth. It also invokes a grounded and sensual passion, and reminds one their true passions and motivations. Thus, it can be helpful in fueling the fire needed to pursue aspirations! 

• Malachite – Malachite is a great stone to work with to exert a boost of energy in productive and innovative ways. Associated with the Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras, malachite consciously connects us with our inner power, and to express it in constructive and creative ways. It helps ground our ideas by helping us see what steps are necessary to manifest our dreams in the physical reality, thus putting us in place of co-creation with the universe. Because of malachite’s association with power, it helps in overcoming fear of self-expression or healthy use and acknowledgement of ones power. Malachite helps us to recognize boundaries for ourself and others, and develop a healthy relationship to power in that way.

• Red Aventurine – If you are looking to enhance the vitality and inspired energies of the Aries Moon to break through some “walls” and accomplish tasks, Red Aventurine is a wonderful choice! I love this stone because similar to green aventurine, it invokes new opportunities and helps open doors. However, red aventurine also grounds energy, and inspires creativity and passion to invoke new ideas and perspectives. Red Aventurine will not only invites prosperity, but also give the vitality to pursue those opportunities.
