Aries season starts with a new moon. Not only is it the beginning of the Sun moving through Aries and therefore spring, but it’s the start of the entire zodiac. The zodiac wheel turns on its axis to reveal another year. I know I talk a lot about cycles beginning and ending, and that’s a reflection of cycles in nature as well. With this new moon, there is a wholly new impulse and potentiality that is emerging from deep in the earth of your being. Listen to it. Play with it. Let the spark turn into a healthy blaze.
The recent Mars square Neptune last week may have left you disappointed or overwhelmed. You had to grapple with feelings of vulnerability to embrace some part of yourself that was feeling sad or scared. Now, the energy in Aries gives you a shot of courage and moxie to do the scary thing anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained when we have the singularity of purpose reflected in this lineup in Aries: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Chiron, and Jupiter.
With Mars squaring the new moon, anger and frustration may come up about any challenges to your approach or obstacles you have to work around. Because nice aspects to Saturn and Pluto offer release valves for the tension, you do have special powers to compromise with others without giving up what’s most important to you. If you blindly stay wrapped up in your own beliefs and “my way is the highway” attitude, you miss out on this opportunity. A confrontation may be required to get everything out in the open if any issues have been festering for a while. Aries energy is never one to avoid a battle, unlike its opposite sign Libra. Be direct and be willing to engage in active listening to bring about a better outcome than you could have achieved by yourself.
Intentions: I nurture impulses. I have to do the things that scare me in a good way. I am direct with others and I uplift and inspire with my words. I engage in active listening and reflect back to others what I hear them say.
