On March 29th, 2025, we have a New Moon and partial Solar Eclipse at 9° Aries.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse at 9° Aries speaks of a new beginning. This is a North Node Solar Eclipse, highlighting opportunities to come clean with the past and consciously shape the future.
Yet…
9° Aries is the same degree where Mercury turned retrograde 2 weeks ago on March 15th, 2025, and just 1 degree away from 10° Aries – where Venus turned retrograde earlier this month, on March 7th, 2025.
There’s something about the 9-10° Aries zone that is being strongly activated this month – like a cosmic reset button – a call to rewrite karma and shape our destiny.
What’s even more striking is that at the time of the New Moon, Mercury (at 0° Aries) is conjunct Neptune (at 29° Pisces), basically bridging the last and the first degree of the zodiac, the alpha and the omega – the end and the beginning woven into one moment in time.
New Moon Solar Eclipse In Aries – Rewriting The Script
This mix of revisiting-the-past energy (Mercury and Venus retrograde, Neptune at 29° Pisces) and the future-oriented spark of the New Moon Eclipse in Aries brings to mind “Back to the Future” – a cosmic Marty McFly moment where fate meets free will.
In this movie, Marty (the main character/hero/Aries archetype) travels to the past and accidentally alters his parents’ relationship.
He spends the rest of the movie trying to fix the timeline – and ultimately, he improves his family’s future in ways he couldn’t have imagined.
The journey is not without chaos and complication – yet by going back into the past, his life – and the lives of those he loves – shift for the better.
And while we might not be able to step into a time machine like Marty McFly, there are other ways we can revisit and reframe the past to improve our future.
Science has shown that neural pathways can be rewired – hello, Mercury retrograde. And that by re-assigning new personal meaning to our stories and emotional memories (Venus retrograde), we can create new stories from the same past.
There’s no denying that difficult experiences leave an imprint – and this is not about fooling ourselves into pretending the pain never happened.
Yet, it’s worth considering that neurologically, the human mind is wired to prioritize and store negative experiences more vividly than positive ones – meaning we may start with an unconscious negative bias.
If we go back – reflect, reframe, reprocess – we almost always discover a silver lining, a hidden insight, a piece of gold in the mud.
The same ‘reality’ can be experienced in completely different ways, depending on the lens we choose to look through.
“Two men looked out through prison bars – one saw mud, the other stars.”
There are ways – and ways – to overcome the mind’s negative bias and bring balance. One is to assign new, more nuanced meaning to the past; another is to simply write a different past. The mind doesn’t know the difference between what’s imagined and what actually happened.
This is what practices like miracle thinking – or manifestation techniques like The Secret – are based on.
When we tell ourselves things like “I am successful,” “I am healthy,” the mind begins to do the background work (Pisces) to fill the gap between the current identity and our envisioned reality.
Can we change our past? Absolutely. By rewiring the way we store and relate to memories – by telling a new story.
And that’s what rewriting our karma truly is: a new beginning, built on a re-interpretation of the past.
New Moon Solar Eclipse In Aries – The Aspects
This New Moon Eclipse is almost unaspected, with a loose conjunction to Mercury retrograde (at 0° Aries) and a loose sextile to Pluto (at 3° Aquarius).
Unaspected planets are wild cards. This is where we can feel disoriented – because there are no other planets to give us guidance, to provide structure, to define the rules – yet, this is exactly where the opportunity for free will lies.
When there are no planetary aspects to tell us what to think or do, what’s left is to tune inwards and find the answer there. This is the real thing. This is the real YOU – beyond conditioning, beyond inherited scripts.
The eclipse ruler, Mars, is beautifully aspected: it trines the Saturn-Mercury-North Node-Neptune conjunction in Pisces and sextiles Uranus in Taurus.
The eclipse chart carries a quiet yet undeniable message of hope – and the fact that Neptune moves into Aries literally the next day gives us the reassurance that while things may feel uncertain now, this transition is ultimately for our greater good.
The possibilities of the future are limitless – but if we want a different future, we must be willing to revisit and rewire the past.
New Moon Solar Eclipse In Aries – Back To The Future
Many people fear revisiting the past because they worry they’ll get sucked into the black hole of regret, guilt, or pain.
However, if we go back into the past with – very important – the intention to improve our future, we might uncover opportunities we initially missed, because we were not ready, aware, or resourced at the time.
The key is to be intentional.
I’m doing this for myself.
I’m doing this for a better tomorrow.
I have what it takes to alchemize this. I can do this.
This is not delusion or arrogance – this is the sacred blend of Aries’ courage and initiative with Pisces’ faith that the universe is ultimately on our side – that we can co-create with the universe through the meeting of divine consciousness and free will.
So…
How would your present life look if you could go back and rewrite the narrative of your past?
What doors could that unlock today? What strengths, talents, or opportunities might emerge if your past no longer defined your limits – but became the foundation of your power?
And what about your future?
What new possibilities could this journey back into the past open up – in your work, your purpose, your relationships, your potential to create success on your terms?
