35 Aries Journal Prompts
Hey there, Aries! These astrology journal prompts are for you, especially with the new moon in Aries. Use them to dig deep into how you see yourself and how you’re best putting those Aries (March 21 - April 19) traits and energy to use.
Why Keep an Astrology Journal?
Journaling is surprisingly beneficial! Writing down your thoughts and experiences can help you process emotions, track personal growth, provide mental stimulation, and even spark creativity.
Writing Practice
Like anything, practice matters when it comes to writing, so develop a writing ritual. That means journaling can help improve the writing you do in other areas of your life!
Using your Aries journal prompts or other journaling prompts can be a useful tool for improving writing skills.
Reflect on Your Goals
Journaling is an opportunity to focus on your goals and progress. It also allows you to evaluate what is longer serving in your life and make necessary adjustments. Don’t forget to track your progress in your journal!
Improve Your Health
Studies are showing that journaling may also reduce stress, improve your immune system response, and even boost your memory. Here’s an article from Intermountain Healthcare about it.
So with those benefits in mind, take a few deep breaths and let’s begin!

How to Start Your Astrology Journal
You can use the above zodiac journal prompts in addition to reflecting on any readings or horoscopes you might have—and about your daily life, passion, and goals. Journaling is a great way to lean into creating and celebrating an intentional, thoughtful life. Here’s how to get started.
Consider incorporating moon journal prompts for deeper self-reflection.
Choosing Your Journaling Materials
Choose a journal that you like, because if it makes you happy, it will be easier to pick it up. Consider selecting a journal that reflects your Aries spirit!
Additionally, you might want to choose journaling materials that align with the new moon in Aries and its energy to enhance your self-reflection and spiritual development.
Physical Journals
If at all possible, take a moment to hold your journal in person before you buy it. Get a sense of whether you will reach for it and enjoy sharing your passion with it.
Journal Binding
Determine if the journal will lay flat. That is, can you open it to start writing and have it stay open?
Is the journal’s binding sturdy? Try to get a sense of whether the cover is going to get detached from the block of pages as you write.
Journal Size
Think about whether your journal’s size suits you. If you’re going to leave it on your desk and write there, maybe you want a bigger trim size. If you’re going to take it to the coffee shop or the art museum, you might want the smaller trim size path.
Journal Paper
Consider the paper texture. If it’s too glossy, that limits your pen options. A standard ballpoint will probably work, but if you want to use pencil or other type of pen, it might not make a mark or it might smear easily.
Journal Extras
This isn’t necessary, but a ribbon marker is a nice way to keep your place in a journal.
If this is going to be a portable journal, an elastic closure keeps it from splaying open inside your bag. Other clasps can be bulkier, so make sure the journal still lays open comfortably if you look at those.
Digital Journals
What digital journals lack in book-nerd cache, they make up for in portability and convenience. They’re especially handy if you’re journaling about ideas you might want to use later—don’t underestimate a deep search feature. You also have plenty of free and very inexpensive options on this path, from Google docs to specialized apps like Penzu.
Tips for Establishing a Journaling Habit
A habit can take time to begin, and that amount of time varies. Focus on intentionally creating space and time for your new practice and exploring some journaling ideas that you might like to incorporate.
Create an irresistibly comfortable place to write. Stock it with your favorite pens and journal. While you’re at it, remove any obstacles that will keep you from journaling.
Pick a time of day to write and set up a recurring calendar appointment to remind you of your ritual. Try intentionally sitting down to write at that exact time for the next few weeks, until you’re comfortable enough with the habit to vary it.
If it feels overwhelming to sit down and write for an indeterminate amount of time, try setting a timer for 10 minutes and telling yourself to write that long.
Too long? Try 5 minutes.
Still too long? Try writing one line a day.
Consider setting intentions during Aries season as part of establishing your journaling habit. The new moon is always a good time to start a new path, too. (You can also use the full moon if you don't want to wait!)
Try a habit tracker
Add journaling to your favorite habit tracker, be it standalone or in your planner. There’s nothing as satisfying as filling in another habit tracker box! (We have a few downloadable habit trackers if you need one!)
Regularly evaluate whether the habit tracker is longer serving your needs.
