New Moon In Aries Manifests Astrology Memes And Talk Of 'Personal Transformation' Around Social Media

Starting today, we are in the first new moon of "Aries season," meaning that astrologically, this is the best time to begin manifesting. Social media users fascinated by astrology posted memes on platforms like Twitter and Instagram throughout the day, analyzing and celebrating the latest lunar development. Some seemed enthusiastic about this latest phase of the moon, but others not so much.

The moon changes every month, going from full to new. The constellations of the zodiac also change each month as the Earth moves through space and different constellations shift across the night sky. Right now, we are in Aries season. Aries, a cardinal fire sign, is traditionally the first sign of the Western zodiac and represents purpose and passion.

The new moon is usually a moment reserved for what astrology enthusiasts call “manifesting,” which means planning and imagining your goals. Therefore, the first new moon of the new astrological year is doubly significant for those who mean to manifest something good.

Some posters connected astrological events to current events, reminding everybody to watch themselves in what will purportedly be a "highly passionate moon cycle," referencing Will Smith slapping Chris Rock as evidence of how the stars are impacting the world.

Other astrologically inclined users offered helpful tips on how to make the most of this latest cosmic opportunity for investing in both yourself and in financial markets.

The community is also highly supportive, with users tweeting relentlessly about how others should take care of themselves. Astrology discourse is full of words borrowed from mental health discourse like “trauma” and “actualization,” suggesting that for many users it serves a therapeutic or self-help kind of function.

Some wondered, however, if the emotions and transformations attributed to astrology might really be thanks to other factors in the lives of astrology enthusiasts.
