Tonight's joining of the Sun and Moon in the first sign of the zodiac is about the promise of Spring, new life and new starts. Aries is an action sign and this New Moon will bring plenty of energy during the next lunar cycle to take action and direct our efforts forward. Bringing an innovative, and possibly surprising, assist to the Sun and Moon, is their coming together in the same sign with that rebel planet Uranus. A willful, yet resourceful energy, Uranus can now help with new solutions to breaking old habits and solving problems.
My excitement over this New Moon comes from its' potential for positive change and growth in a kind of out-with-the-old and in-with-the-new momentum. We can all use a change now and then and that's what the rebel planet can provide. Even though we don't always know what is coming and may not like what is presented to us, I believe on some level, we're ready for the shake-up. At this New Moon, ask yourself what do I need to begin and what direction do I want to move in? Then look for the appearance of a silver lining - this may be your chance to do something you've been wanting to do.
There are two cautionary notes here. The first is Mercury's stationary position today as he begins to turn in direct motion in Aries Keep in mind that we have had to slow down our thoughts, plans and communication over the last three and a half weeks while the Messenger of the Gods has been retrograde. Proceed with caution using any insight into yourself that you have gained during that time. As Mercury leaves its' shadow phase on May 3rd, you ought to have a pretty good idea of what plans merit your attention. You may find yourself entertaining several ideas, but remember you are in a trial phase and not all ideas will stick. In a months' time, Mercury joins Uranus at the last degree of Aries, giving you an opportunity to assess how you're doing with new starts and getting ready to focus your resources on just one or two; in the meantime, you're relying on research to see where you might get your toes wet.
The second thing to be aware of is that both the Moon and the Sun are coming out of an intensely challenging time, (a square to Pluto) that involves deep emotions, power and drama. It would be best to let go of the struggle and channel your pent up feelings, emotions and energy into a creative project, so that you don't alienate others. Power struggles are out, cooperation is in, and creativity is on the rise!
Remember to make a wish list of steps to take for ushering in the New Moon, as you keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground!
