Aries Waxing Moon

Taking Courageous Action on Your Intentions

The Waxing Moon is where intention meets effort.

You’ve planted the seed at the New Moon. Now the Moon is growing brighter in the sky, and so is the responsibility to participate in what you asked for.

When the Moon moves through Aries, the focus sharpens around independence, self-awareness, and personal initiative. Aries energy does not wait for permission. It responds to the inner guide that says, move now.

This phase of the lunar cycle asks a simple but uncomfortable question:

Are you willing to act in alignment with what you said you wanted?

Why the Aries Waxing Moon Matters

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. It carries the spark of beginnings, courage, and identity. During an Aries Waxing Moon, growth happens through action. There is no time for overthinking.

This is the moment to:

• Take the first visible step

• Make a clear decision

• Strengthen your commitment to yourself

Aries energy develops self-awareness through doing. You learn who you are by showing up and seeing what happens next.

Working With the Waxing Moon

The Waxing Moon supports:

• Building momentum

• Strengthening intentions

• Creating structure around what you want to grow

Think of this phase as the scaffolding around your New Moon intentions. Without structure, growth stays theoretical. With structure, it becomes real.

Aries Waxing Moon Journal Prompts

Use these questions to ground Aries energy into action:

• How can I actively nurture the intentions I set at the New Moon?

• Where in my life am I being asked to be bolder or more self-directed?

• What action would strengthen my confidence and self-trust right now?

• How can I honor my individuality while staying connected to the people and systems around me?

Write your answers plainly. Aries appreciates clarity.

Turning Aries Energy Into SMART Goals

This is where intention becomes design.

In The New Moon Spiral: A Lunar Planner and Guided Journal, goals are meant to support growth. Aries thrives when goals are clear, doable, and personally meaningful.

Work with the Waxing Moon to shape one focused SMART goal connected to your New Moon intention.

SMART Goals, the YesSpiral Way

Specific

What is your goal? Say it clearly. If it sounds vague, it is.

Measurable

What will tell you that you’re making progress? Choose something observable and trackable.

Attainable

What actions are required? List them. Aries likes movement.

Relevant

Why does this goal matter to you? If the answer feels flat, the goal needs adjusting.

Timed

Choose a rhythm that fits your life:

• One moonth

• One season

• One New Moon to Full Moon cycle (about six months)

• One year

Deadlines are containers.

Example

Instead of:

“I want to feel more confident.”

Try:

“I will publish one blog post per moonth that reflects my core ideas, starting this lunar cycle and continuing for three moonths.”

Clear. Measurable. Actionable. Aries-approved.

The Aries Waxing Moon is about choosing yourself through action.

Its about starting and all you need to do is to take the next brave step and trust that clarity follows movement.

Light the fire. Then tend it.
