New Moon, Intentions and the Inner Alchemist 🔥🌙

astrological new year

🧠 1. Introduction: When the sky opens a portal

This article is based on the spoken teachings of a master alchemist at a special moment in the sky: the Sun entering Aries, marking the astrological New Year. More than prediction, it is an invitation to use the combination of Sun in Aries and New Moon in Pisces as a “portal” to start new things, strengthen what we really want and shift our personal frequency.

While the civil calendar starts on January 1st, traditional astrology sees the true energetic beginning of the year when the Sun moves into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. It is the moment when the inner warrior wakes up.

♈ 2. Sun in Aries: awakening the warrior

Aries is the archetype of beginnings: impulse, courage, action. When the Sun enters Aries, the sky symbolically pushes us out of inertia. It is as if life is saying: “Either you move, or you stay behind.”

The alchemist describes this as activating the inner warrior – the part of us that:

• fights for what we want

• cuts away what no longer serves

• takes the first step even while afraid

It is not war against others, but a battle against our own procrastination, fear and stagnation.

♓ 3. Pisces and the last New Moon: faith before action

Pisces is the last archetype of the zodiac, connected to spirituality, faith, dissolution of ego and the invisible world. The New Moon in Pisces, right next to the Sun entering Aries, creates a symbolic meeting between:

• the water of faith (Pisces)

• the fire of action (Aries)

Before we move, we need to believe. The alchemist insists: no one can inspire faith in others if they have no faith themselves. The New Moon in Pisces is the spiritual soil where the seed is planted; Aries is the force that breaks the soil open so that seed can sprout.

🌙 4. New Moon: a time to sow, not to receive

In this alchemical view, the New Moon is not the time to harvest but to sow. When the sky is dark, we drop the seeds of intention into the “soil” of consciousness.

He summarizes it clearly:

• New Moon: ask, define, plant intentions.

• Full Moon: receive, amplify, see what has grown (sometimes in one, two or more Full Moons ahead).

Arriving at a New Moon with no clarity about what you want is, therefore, missing a powerful focus point.

🧪 5. Inner panacea: the alchemy of intentions

One of the central concepts in the teaching is the panacea – not as a magical external medicine, but as a symbolic intention ritual. Inspired by alchemy, the master invites us to see each person as a living laboratory.

In practice, he suggests:

• imagining a small vial (physical or symbolic) where you “place” your intentions

• writing, speaking or visualizing specific requests for the new cycle

• using a glass or bottle to represent this inner container, loading it with your conscious desires

In this sense, panacea is not superstition; it is a way of giving shape and focus to what you want to build.

🧭 6. Defining what you truly want

The alchemist points out a common problem: almost everyone says they want to “prosper,” “find their purpose,” “change their life,” but very few define what that actually means. Vague desires weaken intention.

He encourages more precise questions:

• “I want to prosper” → in what area, with what project?

• “I want purpose” → in which field, helping whom, in what way?

• “I want to move” → to where, what does this new home need to have?

The New Moon in Pisces + Sun in Aries is presented as an ideal time to:

• choose one deep desire

• write it down clearly

• treat it as a seed to be nurtured over the coming lunar cycles

🔥 7. Frequency shift: cutting what no longer fits

In the talk, there is a direct call: the frequency is changing, and this portal asks for renewal. That includes:

• cancelling commitments that make no sense

• stepping out of autopilot

• saying “no” to events and situations that only fill time but don’t nourish the soul

He suggests, for example, dropping a random appointment to go instead to a park, be in silence and feel your own presence. If the sky offers a moment of focus and intention, it makes little sense to spend that day on empty activities.

🧿 8. Body, chakras and emotional blocks

The master also connects this moment with energetic blocks, especially in the root chakra (survival, safety) and sacral chakra (pleasure, creativity, money).

He invites you to look honestly at:

• chronic procrastination

• repressed anger

• fear of earning or moving forward in life

From an alchemical and spiritual point of view, moving the body (through dance, breath, ritual movement) helps activate virtues and unlock these centers. Although this language is symbolic rather than scientific, research on ritual and somatic practices does show links with stress reduction and a greater sense of agency.​

💞 9. New Moon and intimacy: with another or with yourself

One sensitive and striking point is his view of the New Moon as a time for deep connection:

• For those in a healthy, steady relationship, he calls this day “sacred for making love,” as if the roots of the couple’s energy intertwine more strongly.

• For those single or in unclear situations, he warns: it is the worst time to connect sexually with someone you do not really want to bond with.

The central message is intention. If the New Moon is a portal of connection and sowing, it makes sense to use it either to deepen a relationship that already has roots, or, if you are alone, to turn inward and deepen your connection with yourself and the sacred.

🌌 10. The call to presence: less autopilot, more awareness

Again and again, the master returns to the same point: the problem is not astrology promising miracles; it is life lived on autopilot. He is not offering instant spells for overnight success, but attention, presence and conscious choice.

The combination of Sun in Aries (action) and New Moon in Pisces (faith) becomes an invitation to:

• look honestly at your current life

• choose a concrete, realistic intention

• take small, consistent steps towards that intention throughout the lunar cycle

📌 Conclusion and constructive critique

This text, based on the teachings of master alchemist André Nascimento, is not a scientific manual but a symbolic map for crossing what astrology calls the astrological New Year. It blends mystical language, metaphors and intention practices with a very grounded reminder: portals are useless without clarity, and faith without action doesn’t change a life.

Constructively, it helps to keep two perspectives together:

• Astrology and alchemy here are symbolic languages and should not replace therapy, medicine or practical planning.

• Psychologically, treating the New Moon and the Sun entering Aries as markers can be a powerful way to organize your mind, review priorities and commit to change.

No alignment in the sky will do the work for you. What this “portal” can offer is timing, focus and a sense of support – the feeling that you are not just drifting, but consciously choosing what to plant in your inner laboratory. The real magic happens when faith becomes a clear intention, and intention becomes movement, day after day, in this new cycle that begins.
