The New Moon is the beginning of a new lunar cycle, where the dark night beckons us to start once again; normally a quiet time of inner contemplation and the forming of new visions for the future. However, the astrological New Year has begun and April is here, filling our hearts with the fire, zest and take action energy of Aries the Ram. Aries the first fire sign is quick, passionate, courageous and driven bringing us all an invigorating sense of waking up, full of initiative and ready to take on Life!
Adding to this lunar phase are Mercury and Venus in Aries activating ideas, communication and information as well as the desire to connect with others. This will increase the need to share thoughts and feelings with important people in your life around money, love and relationship issues. Chiron in Aries sitting close to Mercury provides opportunity for healing conversations.
This planetary energy is further fed by Mars, (the ruler of Aries) in Gemini and Jupiter in Aquarius forming a very significant and supportive minor grand trine with the New Moon and Venus. Mars in Gemini sends a strong signal that direct open communication and flexibility is a key factor in upcoming shifts and changes. Jupiter in Aquarius offers optimism and expansive possibilities that reinforce greater authenticity. Do be aware that with such fast paced energy during this lunar phase, confusion and becoming scattered is a strong possibility. If that occurs, slow down, prioritize and make a list that can be changed if necessary. Keep in mind your desired outcome.
Pluto in Capricorn makes a challenging square with the New Moon that can become a powerful growth experience if worked with awareness. Aries is quick and emotions are ready to jump in with both feet, but Pluto in Capricorn is unwavering in the importance of integrity, responsibility and discipline in creating new beginnings. What fuels your intentions? Although you may want to “just go for it”, it’s important to give serious consideration to where it will lead. Are your choices well thought out or haphazard, too fast? Is courage driving you or fear and frustration? Pluto’s compelling square can result in meaningful personal growth and transformation through serious, honest effort into something that truly matters to you. Saturn in Aquarius is another voice of sober reasoning that any changes feel as authentic as possible.
This New Moon cycle in Aries during Aries season activates our hearts and intentions with courage, drive and passion. It sets a tone for this next astrological year which emphasizes innovation and signals us to seriously focus on what we desire for our future. To face fears that have held us back and courageously claim opportunities for positive change, personal growth and greater authenticity in life, prosperity and love.
