The New Moon in Aries will occur at 2:35a PDT, Wednesday, April 10. This is an especially wonderful New Moon as it embodies everything that a New Moon can bring forth because it occurs during an Aries 1 energy cycle.
Aries is the sign of initiative action. It can be assertive, sometimes even aggressive. It has a warrior spirit, and loves to compete or fight for its passions. It wants to be first in everything, but that doesn’t necessarily mean winning – in most cases, it simply means being first. It can also be associated with a “me first” attitude.
Numerological 1 energy is very much like Aries energy. It is also initiative energy, and represents beginnings and getting things started. It enjoys taking the lead in any matter, and usually doesn’t care whether anyone else is following them or not when they take off running.
The combination of these two energies alone (which will be present until April 19th) is enough to put a flame of initiative under your backside to get you up and taking actions to get new things started in your life. Yet having a New Moon in Aries 1 means that this energy holds even more punch.
New Moons are already inclined to be prime times to begin new endeavors or to move in new directions. But with New Moon in Aries 1, some exceptionally exciting and very profound new beginnings can occur in your life. In fact, there may be so much excitement for those new directions and endeavors that you may find yourself leaping into action before you look at where you may be going…but don’t worry about that. The strange thing is that during this particular New Moon phase, you may not be able to see where you’re going even if you do look.
As mentioned in previous posts and in the recent LBS Aries e-zine, there is still a great deal of watery Pisces energy in the mix. Water + the fire of Aries = steam and fog, which obscure clarity. Therefore, even if you look, you may not see anything because of the fog.
That said, jumping into the next steps of your life may require some faith on your part – faith that moving forward is what is needed, even if you cannot yet see exactly where you are going. This Aries 1 New Moon calls you to take the steps, even if the only thing you know is that they are steps forward. These steps are more important than you may realize right now, and whether you take them or not, the reasons you being called to make them will begin to reveal themselves as Venus moves into Taurus on April 15th.
So the passionate new beginnings that you may embark upon during this Aries New Moon may indeed more likely be passionate leaps of faith. And by leaping into the foggy unknown, you may find yourself on an amazing journey, possibly the journey of a lifetime.
In the famous words of a popular rock song from the 1980’s (Van Halen), you “might as well jump”.
Make the most of this very special upcoming New Moon in Aries energy, and begin living a passionate new life today. Take that first step today…and most of all, enjoy the adventure! Until next post…
