Welcome to the Aries New Moon on Thursday, March 31st, or Friday, April 1st depending on your time zone. Here in New England, that's overnight on Friday at 2:24am, EDT. This New Moon culminates at 12° 31' of Aries, the Cardinal Fire sign that leads us into Spring and brings new° energy to wherever we have that degree in our birth charts. If you don't know how to find that, just ask me!
This New Moon is of course aligned with the Sun at the same degree and these two "Lights" are joined by the planet Mercury, at 9° 33' Aries, as well as the planetoid/asteroid Chiron, at 12° 18' Aries. That is a lot of focus on jumpstarting the self with a spark of inspiration and/or excitement! What area of your life is feeling this cosmic prod, again depends on what House you have 9 to 12°s Aries in.
Mercury, as the communicator, emphasizes our need to speak for ourselves in all our interactions, but to avoid talking too fast, or too furious. The time is right to be assertive where we need to be and yet Chiron's role here is towards self-healing and compassion. Chiron is one of the Centaurs and he is known as 'the wounded healer'. We have a reminder now to do our own work first before we can jump in and tell others how to make their lives better. Healing is a process... there is no shelf-life on how long it takes. If you are ready to find harmony in a significant relationship, make sure to enter the water slowly. After all, you do not want to dive in too fast and burn your bridges.
When the Sun and Moon are in alignment, they represent the coming together of the inner emotional body and your outer drive in life. Emotions are key now and expressing your feelings is very important to getting the people you need cooperation from to understand where you're coming from. But it's not a one lane road. Others are experiencing this same need to be heard and understood in order to make something happen.
I have heard from a few people lately that they are feeling a lot of sadness and/or grief. With giant Jupiter expanding our sensitivity and spiritual connections in Pisces, very close to Neptune in Pisces, "Oneness"... it is no surprise that we are feeling each others' angst. This is both a positive and potentially negative set of circumstances. Given the amount of people suffering in the world and the increased level of intuition currently flowing through the ethers, we are bound to experience a sense of connection with all beings.
The good news is that there are so many caring individuals in the world who truly want to end pain and suffering! The caution is not to become overwhelmed and succumb to lethargy or escapism that involves living in a fantasy, or checking-out with drugs or alcohol just to feel better. The other part of this is all the fiery Aries energy that can and does provoke some egos to lash out in frustration at others.
It's an exciting New Moon with lots of potential to begin again, start something new or focus on selfcare. How you choose to use this energy is up to you, but you never have to do it alone. If making a new start means reaching out to another for help, take the courageous stand of a true Arian Warrior and do the hard thing that you know will make a difference in your life!
And remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground... or at least leave a trail of bread crumbs so we can follow you on your new adventure!
