  "Every Beginning comes from some other beginnings end"

  -Unknown 

On March 30th 2014 at 11:45 AM (PST) there will be a New Moon in Aries. The above quote perfectly describes the energy of this New Moon. This is time to rid ourselves of what no longer serves us, to start fresh, and to begin anew. 

This is a major time of new beginnings. For starters the astrological new year and spring started last week, which already signifies the start of new things. Then this New Moon is going to come along, with a load of new beginning energy in tow. This is also the 2nd new moon this month, making it a black moon, which is extra potent. The New Moon is conjunct Uranus in Aries, square Pluto in Capricorn and also square Jupiter in Cancer. The square to Pluto urges us to eliminate what no longer serves us and to transform our lives. It urges us to initiate change and shake things up. The square to Jupiter urges us to expand and grow. Since Jupiter is in Cancer, we might particularly be pushed to become more compassionate towards others. Jupiter and Pluto are also opposing each other which gives us an extra push towards transforming and growing.  The conjunction to Uranus furthers our need to start afresh. It awakens pioneering energy, urging us to do new things, and to re-invent ourselves. 

This New Moon wakes us up from winter, igniting us with the Aries fire of passion. It urges us to eagerly go after what we want with determination. It also sets things into motion and gives us a burst of enthusiasm. Another thing of importance to note is that this New Moon may bring back some energy that we have lost because of Mars being retrograde. Overall this is a super manifesting time, filled with fresh starts. Don't forget to write down what you want on this New Moon, to really make sure that you manifest whatever it is you want in your life. I urge you to plant new seeds and watch them grow into something beautiful! 

Happy Manifesting!

Today, March 20th 2014, the Sun moved into Aries at 9:57 AM ( PST). So Happy Birthday to all of you Aries out there! This is such a special time because the Sun's descent into Aries signifies the beginning of the astrological new year and the spring equinox. This is a time of new beginnings, of the birth of new life, and the birth of new ideas. In honor of the Sun moving into Aries I want to talk about the qualities of Aries and the personality of somebody with an Aries Sun.

Aries, since it is a  Cardinal sign and ruled by the planet Mars, is a very energetic and active sign. Aries are great at starting new things, and are usually pretty physically active. Aries are usually independent, headstrong individuals who make excellent leaders. They can be extremely passionate about the things they love, pursuing their passions with gusto. Aries is a masculine (yang) sign and therefore is usually quite outgoing, unless aspects in a natal chart show otherwise. Fire is the element that rules Aries, which can make an Aries have quite a temper at times, but they are usually quick to cool off. Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, symbolizing the first stage of human evolution. Aries breaks away from the collective consciousness of Pisces and starts anew with a newly formed individual identity. Therefore, Aries are self oriented. They are experiencing the world through being an independent individual. Aries is a great place for the Sun, since the Sun symbolizes how you express your identity and Aries Sun's are so great at expressing their individual identity. Aries downfall however is the ego. People born under an Aries Sun must be careful not to fall under ego traps. They must remember that yes we are all unique and special in our own individual way, but we are also all the same at our core. We all come from the same source and nobody is "better" than anybody else. 

Although we are all the same essentially, Aries shows us that we all have different personality's and our own special light to shine. During the Sun's time in Aries I encourage all of you to embrace your unique talents and personalities and to plant the seeds for what all of you would like to see in your life!
