NEW MOON IN ARIES
the new moon in aries on march 30th, exact at 11:45am PDT, is a powerful lunation that initiates us into a lunar cycle that brings us the most potent astrology of the year (and maybe even the decade!). this is the second new moon in the month of march- so some call this a black moon (similar to how the second full moon in a month is a blue moon). from an astrological perspective this is not a true black moon though- as a true black moon occurs when there is a second new moon in the same sign. this is not the case as the new moon on march 1st was in pisces and this one is in aries. but regardless of whether or not it’s a true black moon- it does pack a punch!
one of the reasons this new moon is so potent is that it is close to perigee (although not exact like the two new moons in january). perigee occurs when the moon is closest to the earth and has more of an impact on tides, emotions and energetic experience. with perigee being exact during the 3 days of the dark moon leading up to this new moon, we are entered into some VERY DEEP SPACE prior to this lunation. this is perfect timing for cleaning house- literally, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically. and it is good to know ahead of time as the days preceding this lunation are likely to be emotionally volatile and intense- particularly considering this dark moon cycle occurs when the moon is in pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, and also is closest to earth.
another reason this new moon is so powerful is the fact that it is in aries. new moons start new cycles and they naturally resonate with the energy of aries. with this new moon actually in the sign of aries we have a double dose of aries energy- which is all about initiation, action, assertion and movement! yet we can also have a double dose of the shadow side of aries: anger, aggression, irritation, impulsivity, violence and rash behavior. so being aware of how we use our will, drive and ego energies during this lunation is HIGHLY recommended.
all the reasons i have listed above that make this lunation so potent are important- but the most important is the fact that this new moon is conjunct uranus and square jupiter and pluto- activating the T-square formation of this trio that is heading into a Grand Cross with retrograde mars in libra later in april. this is the kick off to a very powerful and intense month of astrology that will unfold in the coming weeks. since this is a new moon- things started, commenced, intended or set into motion now have huge significance- personally and collectively. the winds of change are coming- so consider the new moon and the first week that follows a preview of what is to come (or maybe an amplification of what has already started since uranus/pluto began in 2012).
there are several other interesting things to note in the new moon chart. for one juno is involved in the T-square- just coming out of her exact aspects to uranus and pluto on the 25th-27th (that last day being the day of the perigee moon!). juno is the asteroid Goddess of partnership and marriage. she governs committed relationships, contractual arrangements and business partnerships. with juno conjunct uranus and square pluto, we are just coming out of a cycle of breakdowns, breakthroughs, changes and transformation in important relationships, contracts and commitments in our lives. juno in aries needs freedom and independence, so if any relationships or commitments in our lives have been suffocating or excessively binding and controlling- this astrology can incite our desire to throw off the chains that bind us. on the positive side, this astrology can help us dramatically and radically transform relationships or commitments in our lives so that they can be healthier and more in integrity. of course, juno in aries can also represent our commitment to our own path of individuality- so part of this astrology can be about us seeing where we need to realign with our own True North- rather than the True North that others in our lives or even the world at large is telling us to follow. the highest expression of juno in this new moon chart is a recommitment to the self and the path that we each are on individually!
there are several powerful fixed stars in this chart that are of importance. pluto is opposite sirius- the fixed star that symbolizes making the mundane sacred. mars, the ruler of this lunation, is conjunct both artcturus and spica- which bring a different approach and the potential for brilliance. combining these fixed stars with the sabian symbol for 10 aries where this lunation falls- “a teacher gives new symbolic forms to traditional meanings”- and i feel that the Highest expression of this lunation and the wild month of astrology ahead is “Illumination about the Truth of things” and opening up to the Truth and living that Truth in greater and greater ways. opportunities for openings and activation of the highest order are present right now! with mars retrograde, perhaps we can mitigate our ego energies and find a way to channel this dynamic energy for the good of all and not just the good of the self ;)
the sabian symbol of this new moon helps us to make sense of things amidst the madness or chaos. it helps us to dig deeper to get to the Truth hidden behind the facade. this is the perfect sabian symbol for anything esoteric- like astrology, tarot, jungian psychology. there are always deeper levels of meaning in things- and the moment you think you have it all figured out is the moment the Universe will show you don’t! this lunation gives us an opportunity to dig a littler deeper, access some deep past Truth and find a way to integrate it into the everyday culture we find ourselves in.
yes this new moon and the entire month of april is radical and revolutionary- there is no getting around it! yet radical revolutionary acts of Love and Wisdom can do amazing things for planet earth. we can choose Love or we can choose war. we can choose Wisdom or we can choose to blindly follow where we are told to go. we can choose this or that OR we can choose the path of integration! this new moon in aries reminds us that it is up to us to set our intentions and orient ourselves towards the right direction. each step we take, each action we make can move us forward or it can move us backward. ultimately we will all get there- but this new moon and powerful month gives us a major opportunity to get there much faster! make sure you are being conscious of where you want to get and that what you intend is followed by tangible acts that head you in the right direction. you can align with your True North right now- but it will take courage, faith and radical Trust in yourself! and it will take ACTION!
yours in the stars…
