Aries marks the beginning of the astrological new year. At the Spring Equinox, with the Sun’s entrance into this sign, the days begin to lengthen. Aries represents the courage of birth—the innocent making his or her presence known in the world. This sign is also associated with dawn, new beginnings, and forward thinking.

Moon Mansions with Aries energy:
The path of the Moon is divided into twenty-eight stations among the fixed stars . These twenty-eight stations are known as the Moon Mansions, and are, in short, a Lunar Zodiac. When the Moon passes through each Mansion, she takes on and reflects the energy of that Mansion. Using the energy of the Moon in combination with the energy of the Mansions, you can boost the power and the success of your magickal practice. Moon Magick is extremely powerful when the astrological associations (aspects, sign, and transits to your personal natal chart) and Moon Mansions are taken into consideration. Pay attention to what Mansion the Moon is passing through when considering what type of spell or ritual you are contemplating for the New or Full Moon

Note: All magickal information included on this site is positive magick. I have not included the darker information as I do not practice any magick that interferes with the free will of others or harms anyone or anything. I do not condemn those who wish to work with more controlling or negative magick, but I do not personally wish to distribute or encourage such endeavors. It is up to each of us to walk our own path, and my path is into the light.
