This week we have a New Moon in Aries on April 17 at 7:52 am EDT (find your time here).
An Aries New Moon is all about springing to life and taking action. Aries energy bursts upon the scene with a roar of flames that is not easily extinguished.
Aries energy loves fresh starts, new beginnings, and tackling new projects. Because of this it is likely you’ll feel inspired with this New Moon, wanted to start something new.
Aries can give us energy, but also courage, which can help us make changes in our life or find a bit of bravery to be more authentically ourselves.
This New Moon in particular features a lot of Aries energy. The Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mars, Mercury, and Neptune are all in Aries, along with the asteroid Chiron. This New Moon is conjunct Chiron. What emotional wounds are you carrying around who you are? What version of you are you ready to step into?
Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune are also conjunct with this New Moon, and they all are making a sextile to Pluto. Pluto is power. It is the underworld and the things that we shove into the dark so we don’t have to look at them. This is a powerhouse of inspiration, endurance, courage, as well as the ability to peel back the curtain and see the machinations at play.
The key with this energy is to remember the pace of Spring. Flowers do not bloom all at once, but instead they unfurl slowly. Sometimes we get an idea or an urge, and we want to rush ahead and have it finished right now. This is especially true with this Aries energy influence, as Aries is not known for patience.
But Venus and Uranus are both in Taurus, reminding us that change takes time and that their is beauty found in the process if we’re willing to look.
Some questions to ask yourself on this New Moon:
-
What new project or idea is calling to you right now?
-
How do you treat yourself when impatience comes up?
-
What do you feel passionate about right now?
