Aries New Moon

3/5/2026.

There’s a new moon in Aries, 
So staunchly cardinal I can feel it pumping through my veins.
New beginnings, rebirth, new flesh, clear eyes.
Lifted out of the manger and sat on the ground, I am learning how to stand up again.
I think the fire burned me to the ground, so scorched that there was nothing left of me.
I grew out of the ashes, not like a phoenix, but like a flower.
Self-leaning, self-sustaining: photosynthesis.
There’s a new moon in Aries, and my clothes don’t smell like your wooden floors anymore,
or the dank corners of your closet, left to wonder what else was hidden in there.
I smell different, maybe the way I did before everything had happened.
No man can keep me together; maybe I'm broken,
but only I alone can rebuild myself. Only I can understand this new scent I’m putting off.
There’s a new moon in Aries, and though you gave me light, I didn’t know it came from fire.
I hold peace and resilience in the fact that we are halfway to Libra season. 
May the next cycle of Libra be kind to me, because I am now ready to come home.
