Happy New Moon in Aries — 7th-9th April 2024!
New moons are a great time to embrace fresh starts and new adventures, opportunities to begin a clean slate. Even more so when the moon is in fiery Aries, the 1st sign and leader of the Zodiac as it is today, not to mention that this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, amplifying its transformative and detoxifying energy.
Nettle is an ideal herb to connect with over the Aries New Moon cycle and season. Latin name: Urtica dioica ~ assigned a herb of Mars by herbal astrologers, with its potent defensive and fiesty fighting nature.
While the Sun is in Aries from around 20th March to 20th April, we are in Aries season. What better plant to befriend than Nettles!
It’s easy to see how this warrior plant is associated with the ancient Roman god of war, quick to attack potential invaders with its army of stinging hairs charged with formic acid.
