Aries New Moon
The New Moon in Aries is a royal flush and a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus are all in trailblazing Aries. We have strong positive energy aligning in the heavens symbolizing that our new journey is about to begin. Aries is our starting point for the astrological New Year. Aries is setting the tone for 2011, lighting a fire inside empowering us to be brave and go for what we want. Spring will offer inspiration, upliftment, creativity, humor, joy, new ideas, fresh starts, exciting opportunities, and important initiations for our innovation and expansion.
Mars, Aries ruler is strong at the New Moon and all of April. Mars represents our drive in life, desires, passion, sexuality, courage, will, anger and rage. What do you want? Are you willing to fight for what is rightfully yours? Where do you need more independence? Where do you need more freedom for self-expression and personal advancement? If money were not a concern for you, what would you be doing?
New Moons are the best time of the month to set our intentions for the next thirty-day cycle. Try this New Moon ceremony. For instance, center in your heart, visualize what you want, feel it, see yourself already having it, and enjoy. Meditate on your delicious dream for at least fifteen juicy minutes and then release it. This is a powerful magical New Moon. We have six planets in Aries something we have not ever seen before. The Aries energy is activating us for authenticity, fun and daring. April is our starting point for anything new—projects, jobs, relationships and adventures.
Yet, before we go flying off to our hearts desires and dreams come true. The New Moon is making an intense T-Square with serious Saturn and powerful Pluto. Saturn in Libra is opposing our Aries royal flush, testing the validity of our big ideas and foundations. Saturn wants to know that we are committed in making our dreams real. If you are feeling frustrated or your plans have been delayed this is not karmic punishment. Although, it can feel this way, it is our personal timing and other people’s timing that we are waiting on. For instance, new business partners or a soul mate’s timing is equally as important as our own timing in our plans together. Timing is everything. Saturn rewards patience.
Late April, May and June will be the ideal time to launch new projects, travel and start all things new.
Powerful Pluto is squaring the Aries New Moon and Saturn in Libra. Pluto rules transformation, death and rebirth. Pluto in Capricorn turns retrograde on April 8, forcing us to deal with what we have been suppressing or hiding. What is holding you back? What do you need to release? What is your truth?
Nothing is as it seems. Only love is real. Anything less than love will be on the decline. Pluto’s energy will continue to topple dictators and their brutal governments. Additionally, what happened to the middle class? Pluto will test our obsolete beliefs, ideals, paradigms and patterns. Pluto destroys our ego will and rewards our divine will. If your heart is not in it—the relationship, job or living location it will decline. We are spiritually advancing into unity consciousness and soul mate love. What opens your heart? What makes your heart sing? What gives you joy? What gets you excited when you are doing the activity? These are the passion clues to your divine mission.
The healing remedy for any T-square is to look for the missing leg. The sign Cancer is the missing leg and our way out. Cancer is the universal “inner child”. We all have Cancer somewhere in our natal charts. We can be a loving Mother to our own inner child. We can practice Extreme Self-Care. We are going to need extra rest, catnaps, playtime and meditation. You want to nourish and nurture yourself so that you are responding to the earth changes, events, crises and not reacting from fear, exhaustion or negativity. Be present. All power is in this moment. Champion You! Laughter holds the greatest healing powers. It can shift us out of being too serious and lighten us up. Laughter can change a somber mood into lightness.
The noise of this star-studded New Moon is a diversion to where the real action is happening-Neptune.
Neptune is making its first return to its home sign Pisces on April 5, since his discovery in 1846. Neptune is God. Neptune rules our highest ideals, dreams, aspirations, beliefs and spiritual love. Neptune also rules illusion, delusion, deception and confusion. Wherever Neptune is in our birth chart and transiting is where we have to make sacrifices and where we can be fooled. Neptune is subjective, deep, indicating a powerful psychological transformation. Neptune will be in Pisces until August 4. Neptune will retrograde back into Aquarius. Neptune re-enters Pisces Feb 3, 2012 and remains there until 2026.
On the positive, we will experience increased spirituality, a cultural renewal, and a major renaissance in theater, music, arts and sciences. On the negative, Neptune rules addiction, and extreme dysfunctional behavior—sex, drugs and rock and roll. Emotional earthquakes are going off in many folks who are experiencing breakdown to breakthrough. These days it does not take much to push someone over the edge. We want to be aware of our intentions, motivations and come from our integrity in all our actions. Neptune in Pisces is starting a spiritual renaissance and a new 165 years cycle. Neptune in Pisces will be giving us our new ideals, beliefs, spirituality, life structures, soul mates and soul agreements. Neptune is upgrading our current paradigm that is operating from our last return in 1846 beliefs and worldview.
The Aries New Moon wants us to push ahead and make things happen. Yet, Saturn and Pluto are testing all of our choices, foundations and institutions. Saturn and Pluto will directly show us what we have been tolerating. For instance, has the relationship outlived its expiration date? Any partnership that is less than true love will be on the decline. This includes your “me-rrage”—marriage to yourself. Are you a loving and supportive partner to you? Alternatively, are you absent or self-critical? Saturn and Pluto are teaching us that with great power comes great responsibility. Freedom is born out of taking full responsibility for all of our actions and decisions. This is how we own our power and master our lessons. We can’t fix what we don’t acknowledge. We are powerful Sparks of God developing our full God Realization—the Christ Consciousness. You are the Master of Your Creation. What are you creating?
Messenger Mercury turns direct on April 23 our dreams, ideas and plans will begin to take solid shape.
The divine lovers Venus and Mars, plus Mercury are in harmonious aspect with Pluto in May and then Saturn in June. This astrology encourages us to band together creating productive and prosperous relationships, groups and teams. Dear ones it is our Sovereign Birthright to have the Pursuit of Happiness, Economic Independence and Freedom. Saturn in harmonious aspect in June supports our dreams and finances. Saturn will reward us for our patience, perseverance, integrity, and courage.
Jupiter the planet of wealth and abundance moves into the money sign Taurus on June 5. Jupiter will be in harmonious aspect to Pluto creating a new wave for global economic expansion. For the first time in years, we have the money planets Jupiter and Pluto in growth mode. This financial astrology will pull us forward into new prosperity, technological, medical, and scientific breakthroughs, and quality jobs. It will not happen overnight but the astrology is moving us into a new worldwide economic expansion.
This spring is a once in a lifetime opportunity. It would be a crime to sit back and let this strong positive energy slip away. Instead, get your surfboard out, wax it up and ride the astrological wave to your new shore. Do what makes you feel empowered and then empower others. Share your gifts. We need your wisdom. We need your joy and laughter. Be unconditionally constructive. Dear hearts, you are powerful creators and karma is instant. Negative thinking is a luxury we cannot afford. Sometimes it is hard work to stay positive. If you slip into negative thinking, refocus yourself or distract yourself. We can retrain our brains for positive thinking. I am going to put my best dancing shoes on and dance. We can start this eternal party together and save the last dance for me. Michael Bubble
