NEW MOON APRIL 14 9.28PM 25 DEGREES ARIES AEST
To aid your understanding of the Aries/Libra 28 1/2 day Moon cycle I’ll list some key words associated with their themes and issues. We all have these cosmic energies in our psychological matrix, to differing degrees, however most people are unconscious of them. These Moon Musings enable you to become conscious of, and learn to feel the current cosmic frequencies coursing through you that activate your desires and urges.
Aries: Is a fire sign and provides the energy for new beginnings. It relates to your ability to “get up and go/do for yourself”. Some of the key words associated with the themes and issues of Aries are: Functional: independent; proactive, confident, assertive, dynamic, pioneer, energetic, initiator, entrepreneur: Dysfunctional: impatient, bully, hot headed, selfish, inconsiderate, insensitive, brash, self-centred, aggressive and dominating.
Libra: Is an air sign and air relates to our mental functioning. Libra is the peacemaker, the diplomat who requires equality. “It isn’t fair!” can be a regular phrase spoken! Libra usually considers the other above self. Therefore it can easily play the “doormat”, especially in relationships. Some of the keywords associated with issues and themes of Libra are: Functional: considerate, cooperative, peaceful, harmonious, fair, equality, justice, beauty, symmetry, balance, mediator, diplomat: Dysfunctional: inactive, inertia, NICE (Nothing Inside of me Cares Enough), lacks confidence, dependent, social butterfly, superficial and insincere.
The question you can ask yourself at this time is “How best can I bring balance and harmony to these two opposing energies within me?”
It would be wise for those people with planets in Aries to become aware of, and choose to bring into balance, your restless energy of impatience. Remember it was the slow persistent Taurus tortoise that won the fabled race against the impatient, brash Aries hare! Aries energy needs a strong physical outlet, so why not begin a new regular exercise programme at this time? It would be advantageous to your health and wellbeing and enable internal balance and harmony. It will also help to dissipate unresolved suppressed anger and frustration.
If you choose outdoor exercise such as power walking, running or hiking then Mother Nature will do her bit to transmute your dense suppressed energy. Another exercise that is very beneficial during emotional upsets is that of sounding the tone of Ahhhh… over and over for five or ten minutes. This practice is also more beneficial when done in nature. You will need to have private space around you. When you connect this Ahhhh sound through an open throat chakra to your open heart then amazing internal channels of energetic openings take place. A connection with your soul can take place. Don’t take my word for it - do it for your self and observe the sensations and feelings before, during and after the process.
Why not take up your Aries reins and commit to planting new seeds of confident, uplifting forward motion in your life now? Your life will positively reflect your commitment and follow through action.
Those of you with a strong Aries/Libra emphasis in your birth chart will experience specific life challenges, especially in relationships, in order for you to consciously develop balance on all levels of your inner being; spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. For the strong Aries individual co-operation and consideration for your partner may need to be learned. Ask for the other’s opinion, respect their point of view and listen attentively to it. You might learn something very valuable! You might also need to slow down your hectic fast pace! For those Aries Sun signs you are learning to become the Aries independent confident pioneer and adventurer. Life will throw up many challenges to enable this growth process.
When an area of your life is out of balance you will experience resistance in both your internal and external world until you choose to consciously correct. Once you have attained a constant level of internal balance and harmony your outer world will reflect this inner energetic patterning. Life will seem to be magical because you operate your life “in the flow” of the cosmic energy currents.
Those readers who have planets or points in their birth chart around 25 degrees of Aries/Libra/Cancer/ Capricorn, all cardinal signs, will feel the affects of this New Moon more so than others. Why not check your birth chart before this cosmic event so you can be prepared for new self-understandings? You will need to look into your chart to see where the degree of the Aries New Moon (25 degrees) is positioned and then connect your findings to the house (area of life) that contains this sign and degree. This is the area that will be highlighted by this New Moon. Should you have planets or points around this degree they will be activated and the planetary themes highlighted.
An important component in our spiritual evolutionary journey is to become conscious of our psychological games and choose to correct those that are dense and dark. Emotional upsets occur in our lives in order to become acutely aware of their cause, which is never the current incident. The current incident will be a situation created to bring up a re-play of a much older soul wounding. The specific emotions you feel, such as loss, sadness, grief, will enable you to develop conscious awareness of this process. When it is time for you to grow into greater self-awareness and higher consciousness the transiting (ravelling) planets enable this soul purpose by connecting to specific points in your birth chart (your energetic blue print). Astrology is an amazing tool to aid the healing of these ancient soul wounds because its study and application enables your consciousness development.
The planets move through the sky in cycles and our spiritual evolutionary progress occurs according to these cycles of time. For example: Jupiter has a cycle of approximately 12 years. You may like to reflect upon what was taking place in your life around the ages of 12, 24, 36, 48 and so on. There will be a similar theme and it will relate to spiritual growth and expansion. Reflect upon it and you are likely to uncover some inner mysteries. Transiting (travelling) Saturn, the Lord of Time and Karma, has now moved back into Virgo for a final revisit in order to complete a twenty-nine year cycle. Saturn spends approximately two and half years travelling through one zodiacal sign. This current cosmic energy will reactivate your Virgo psychological themes and issues relating to work, health and service. There may be some unfinished business for you to attend to around these themes before you can move fully forward into new areas. It would advisable to discipline yourself to do so ASAP. Why? Because Jolly Jupiter, the cosmic force that offers broadening experiences, has just begun to make dance overtures to Saturn. Jupiter is eager to move forward but Saturn requires you demonstrate time, patience and responsibility before he will let go of his reins!
Jupiter brings opportunities for expansion that may be quite a stretch for you and I recommend you be aware and alert to these opportunities. Often they are disguised as loss. Something in your life, such as an old habit, belief system, dream or physical situation may need to go to create a space for the new stretch. As mentioned above a Jupiter cycle is approximately twelve years and the themes of expansion will have been playing out in your life every twelve years, and will continue to do so. You can become aware of them and choose to work with the energy.
Saturn, who requires organization and re-structuring of the area of your life he touches, via your birth chart, will want to concretise this expansion process. This will ensure that a strong inner and outer foundation of practical expertise is in place to enable your stable spiritual growth.
Saturn also requires that you let go of fear. Can you identify your fears clearly? It would be wise to develop an ‘observer’ perspective to your inner psychology so you can become aware of the fears and limitations that hold you bound in chains. From this new self-awareness you can choose to move forward, embracing and acknowledging your fears. They will be based on your inner child’s insecurity. The fears can be healed by your love and acknowledgement of them, rather than by making them wrong.
In the starry skies Saturn is again opposing Uranus, the comic player that brings change through unexpected exciting surprises, or sudden upheaval and chaos. Expect the unexpected is a good motto for Uranus! How will these two players affect the individual and collective? Only time will tell! However they will be working with the New Moon energies to enable balance and harmony. Often this comes about through disruption to the status quo! Saturn in Virgo is very grounded and earthy whereas Uranus in Pisces is excitable and ‘floaty’. Uranus in Pisces requires that the veils obscuring higher consciousness be lifted. Uranus brings those sudden electrical ‘flashes’ of awareness that enable consciousness awakening and illumination. It is sad to say, but very true, that we often need to have sudden unexpected shocks and emotional upheaval to awaken to truth.
The Goddess Vesta (Hestia) is having a friendly chat to the conjoined Aries Sun and Moon enabling a cosmic channel of love to open in your heart. Vesta is the cosmic keeper of the inner Divine flame that connects us to all that is sacred and pure. She suggests it will be easy to access your Divine flame at this time should you have a strong intention to do so. Creating a special ceremony for this purpose will assist the ignition process.
May you choose the Forces of Light, Love and Truth as your guides always,
Blessings
