Tomorrow, April 5th 2019 (1:50 AM PST) we will be having a New Moon in Aries. Mercury turned direct last week, but it was on top of Neptune, which meant things were still kind of foggy and perhaps not moving forward very fast. This New Moon marks a time of things starting to pick up the pace and a time of new beginnings.
Aries is the first sign in the zodiac and has to do with new beginnings anyways, so the New Moon in Aries is always a potent one. Things are picking up speed now. It's time to plant those seeds and go after what you desire.
It's important to actually look at the time of the Full Moon we just had because this New Moon is connected to it. That Full Moon was on March 20th. It marked a time of release and also a time of new beginnings. If you released something, now this New Moon marks a time to plant the seeds for what will come next for you. If you started something new than this is a time to really continue cultivating that. The Full Moon we are having next on April 19th will be the final Moon phase to tie into this series. At that time there could be a big culmination and turning point and a time of final release. All these Moon phases are dealing with the Aries/Libra energy and that's why they are connected. Stories are unfolding and this New Moon is the middle portion of the story.
This New Moon will mark different types of new beginnings for everybody, but some general Aries energy has to do with really stepping into your independence, individuality and personal identity. How can you feel more empowered in your own life and how does that tie into your personal story that is unfolding? What is your new identity? Or have you uncovered your true identity yet that was there all along? Aries is also an energy that has to do with initiative, so what are you initiating at this time?
While we finally have some cardinal, forward moving energy to pursue what we would like, there still is an element of needing to go with the flow. This New Moon also marks the time when Mercury finally moves ahead of Neptune and is picking up speed. The energy is forward moving and we don't have to surrender to the flow as extremely as before. We do still have to go with it though till Mercury moves out of Pisces on the 17th. Now we have more of a balance of initiating and going with the flow energy. So don't forget this important balance. Also, while things will start to get more clear now, it still could seem a bit cloudy till the 17th. It's like the clouds are slowly starting to part to reveal the Sun. While some people may be quite pleased to see this super flowy energy go, it's important that we remember the beautiful lessons it's taught us. It's taught us to trust our intuition, feelings and the universe instead of logic. I think that is so valuable and I hope may help you navigate your lives a bit differently now.
Mars is the ruler of Aries and therefore this New Moon, so it's interesting to see where it's at right now. It recently moved into Gemini. This adds an energy of making connections, communicating with people and having lots of new ideas to this New Moon. This is fun energy. Mars will also be making a sextile to Chiron in Aries during the New Moon. This is helping us heal identity wounds or wounds around independence. Also, perhaps wounds around initiation or going after what you want. This healing energy can help us move forward more confidently if we let it.
The last thing I want to mention is that the New Moon is making a loose square to Saturn in Capricorn. I feel like this is energy looming in the background rather then being really apparent. The Sun will move towards an exact square this coming week and I think that's when we'll feel it the most. Saturn is reminding us of reality. We can start fresh and flow towards our dreams, but we have to be reminded of responsibilities, restrictions and difficult grown up things we need to do in order to move forward. These things we may deal with much more in the week ahead, but it's best to start to become aware of them now.
This past month was a weird time, but also a very powerful one. Now we get to move forward more , continue new stories we have started and watch as the clouds slowly, but surely start to clear.
