We have a New Moon in Aries (28.42°) at 11:57p PDT today, Saturday, 18th April 2015. Aries’ energy is fiery initiative energy, so many of us will feel a deep desire (or intense pressure) to get something started not just today, but throughout the weekend into the first half of next week.
We are nearly complete with the 2015 Aries Sun period as this Aries New Moon arrives. The Aries Sun began making its presence known on 20th March, and on Monday, 20th April the Sun moves into the sign of Taurus.
There are no direct transits with this Sun-Moon conjunction in Aries that forms the New Moon. However, that isn’t to say there aren’t things happening.
There’s a LOT of things happening in the fire element signs. Uranus is also moving through Aries, reminding us to be unique and independent individuals; Juno and Jupiter are both in Leo, calling us to commit to the expansion of our most brilliant self-expression; and Saturn Retrograde is in Sagittarius is doing its best to keep us from moving in any direction that is not in alignment with our inner Truth. This is wonderful because you are being encouraged to try something new or different. It’s your time to make a break for it – to break out of the same old routine and/or rules you’ve always followed. Your life can’t change if you’re doing the same things.
Yet there are a few things in earth element signs that are bringing a grounded, focused energy to matters at hand. With Mercury and Mars both in Taurus, your thoughts, words, and actions are all more likely to consider your lifestyle and the resources that help you establish and maintain it. There are manifestation intentions behind your actions. This is a great support for an Aries New Moon as whatever you set in motion now is more likely to actually materialize in your life.
Though some of the earth element energy is meant to build and secure things, some of it is also meant to change what has been in place and no longer serves us well. Black Moon Lilith is in Virgo, and is ready to make some changes as it’s determined to attend to an awakening desire for improved practical and purposeful function in your everyday routine. This includes matters of health and wellness, and you may find that starting new ways of eating and/or exercising at this time may be of benefit to you at this time. We also have Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn, and you may also find that there are social and societal transformations happening around you that are affecting you in ways that are changing your personal goals and ambitions. What you thought you’ve wanted for a long time you may not want anymore. What you thought you needed for a long time, you may be realizing that you don’t really need it.
Yes, the Aries New Moon is the ultimate force for new beginnings and fresh starts. However, if you find yourself trying to move in a direction that isn’t opening up or allowing you to do what you want to do, it may be the Universe’s way of telling you there’s another way – a way that is better aligned with what will truly fulfill you and bring joy to your journey. Pay attention to where you are not being given access, and stop trying to go that route. You may need to find another way to get to your goal…or you may need to change your goal.
To that point, there may also be opportunities coming your way that you don’t recognize as alternatives to your desired course, or that do see but may not feel or believe you are prepared for. Under the energy of this 2015 Aries New Moon, now is the time (if you haven’t already this month) to take a leap of faith and step into the opportunity(s) presented to you to make profound changes in the course of your life. As you step forward, be clear in your intentions then keep an open mind, an open heart, and open hands to receive what you are asking for. Under this 2015 Aries New Moon, you’re likely to plant seeds that will bear a bountiful harvest of whatever will earnestly support and empower your True self.
If you never try, you’ll always wonder what could have been. If you give it a try, you’ll know what could be. It’s up to you to decide if you want to wonder or if you want to know. Choose and act accordingly.
Thanks for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
