Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, linked in the tradition with initiative, courage and acting first. Astrologers treat a new moon in Aries as a strong starting signal, and an eclipse near the north node as a marker of change that unfolds over months. With Mercury and Venus retrograde, the tradition also counsels reviewing plans and relationships before rushing. A modest suggestion: name what you want to begin, then wait a little before committing.
