Aries New Moon

   The Moon joining the Sun in Aries kick-starts this Lunar cycle and reminds us that it is indeed time to move forward in our lives! No more excuses, trepidation or worry about what might happen if... There is no room for self-doubt or feeling held back. The Aries challenge is to be brave and point yourself in the new direction you've been wanting to go.

   Nevermind the nay-sayers, the what-ifs that your mind presents, or your own unfounded fear of change. You are now in control, you are the boss-of-you and it's time to take your life in a bold, new direction! Have self-confidence and take responsibility for your actions going forward. No one else is going to do this for you.

   That said, you don't have to do everything all at once. The Moon squaring Saturn reminds us of our limitations and that taking one step at a time is a practical way to get where we're going. Yes, we may have to answer to authority figures and we definitely need to take care of our commitments, but we can still make change happen incrementally. 

   Now that Mercury is in direct motion and still in Pisces, while also aligned with Venus and Neptune, we can use the insight we have gained into our hopes and dreams over the last few weeks to set sail for a better version of ourselves in relationship. Neptune warns us not to live in a fantasy world, while Venus wants us to be loving and open to receiving in return. We have an opportunity to use our astute minds for learning and sharing ideas, thanks to Mercury's sextile to Saturn on the 7th.

    The Moon in Taurus all weekend brings attention to different methods of connecting with others as she joins with the awakening force of Uranus. Insight involving attitudes and behaviors that have outlived their usefulness come into view and we become aware of what needs to change, to be replaced with something better. Sunday is a great day to interact with friends and loved ones, sharing affection and words of love and appreciation.




   Remember while you are enjoying each others' company, to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.
