The New Moon in Aries at 7:32a PDT this morning brings forth the moment I spoke of a few weeks ago – SIX planetary bodies directly influenced by the sign of Aries.
- The Sun brings forth a overall energy of and focus on action and progress.
- Jupiter brings forth growth and expansion in areas in which we act upon our personal truths and/or Universal Truth.
- Mercury brings forth action-based thoughts and beliefs as well as inspire actions based upon our thoughts and beliefs. (With Mercury in retrograde, we are in a period of going back and reviewing or revisiting communications, renewing ideas or insights that we may have tossed aside, picking up loose ends that need to be tied up, having communications that need to be had, etc. It’s likely that things that needed our attention the first time around are coming around again for us to have a ‘second chance’ to attend to them.)
- Mars brings forth the energy and motivation behind our actions, and creates actions and reactions whether
we want them or not. - Uranus brings forth unusual and unexpected events. It also brings attention to mass or public communications/social media.
- Moon brings us to awareness of our emotional responses and reactions to our actions and to the events of the actions
around us.
I don’t know about any of you, but it’s been a really bizarre week for me, and for many people close to me. There are about 5 of us right now who are experiencing challenges with our cars (especially with batteries failing and/or engines overheating or catching fire!). I’ve also have friends dealing with electronic device issues (phones being lost, batteries failing, chargers going missing, etc). For me, it’s been my car. I’d love to hear if any of you are experiencing or have experienced similar occurrences throughout this last week.
Today, our emotions get to catch up with the craziness as the New Moon in Aries gives each of us a chance to get in touch with our emotions and ask, “Okay. Now that all of this has happened, what am I going to do about it?” Maybe the more important question to ask yourself is…what do I want to do about it?
With the arrival of April last Friday, we have now moved into an 8 energy universal month. 8 energy is about power, manifestation, ambition, and accomplishment. It is also about how we choose to pursue and manifest those desired outcomes. You may pursue your desired outcomes at all costs. You may be less aggressive or manipulative in your pursuit. Or you may choose not pursue at all, choosing to go a passive (or passive-aggressive) route. Sadly, many of us will not even be aware we have a choice.
You may also be experiencing a time in which others are challenging you or confronting you about your choices and actions, attempting to bait you into choices and actions which align with their agendas or affirm their choices for themselves. You may also experience a sudden competitive streak in yourself or in others around you, attempting to engage in rivalries or comparisons. Keep an eye out for these incidents. See if you or the other(s) are creating the conflicts.
Be aware that all of these events that have occurred in the last week have been priming you for this time of emotional absorption, preparing you to make the choices you need to make whether you are fully conscious of the choices at hand or not. These are likely life-altering choices that can no longer be avoided. It really is “put up or shut up” time. Your actions must reflect what you say you are committed to…or you will find yourself getting what you want even if you don’t know you want it.
As you make choices and take actions over these next couple of days with Moon in Aries and throughout the next couple of weeks while we still have Sun in Aries, a few questions you can ask yourself are:
- Am I taking actions in alignment with my choices?
- Am I thinking and speaking in alignment with my choices?
- Am I choosing certain things to avoid making choices in other areas of my life?
- Am I choosing a course that I can realistically take action in?
Remember that in taking action you may get results, yet those results may not be what you expect. In some cases they may surpass your hopes or expectations. In some cases, they may fall below them. Either way, you will indeed get what you really want, even if you aren’t mindful of your truest and deepest desires. And if you don’t like what you get, ask yourself what you want to do about it and what you are willing to do about it. Look at how you really feel about what shows up and that’s where you’ll find the real feelings and beliefs behind your choices and actions.
Enjoy the experience and the exploration, if you choose to take it on.
And enjoy the week ahead. The adventure of life continues…
~ Light, Love, and Blessings,
Grace
