Astro: New Moon in Aries
1 April 2022 @7:24
All Hail & welcome to Astro New Moon! I hope you have all navigated your way through from Full Moon & the past 2 weeks with ease to get here. This New Moon article will discuss the various cosmic occurrences which may affect many of us over the next few weeks. Our Zodiac wheel has just begun again! A new cycle starts & a fresh image of what we really want to manifest into our lives emerges from our minds, desires & dreams. We may have very big plans ahead of us. This New Moon in Aries is an extremely positive portal of manifestation energy. Furthermore, we have asteroid Chiron the wounded healer in play, so there may be a lot of wounds surfacing, but don’t be put off! Our wounds when addressed with compassion can heal & allow us the wisdom of helping others to heal too! Both are part of a rare New Moon Stellium conjunction, which indicates several celestial beings lined up in Aries, all direct & in play. Arranged in Aries we have New Moon, Sun, Mercury & Chiron, making this a very potent healing portal too. All Planets are direct & there are no other influences on this New Moon. In addition, the main theme for this year is making itself known through 2 big generational planets in watery Pisces!
So lets get cracking with the forecast.
New Moon is a time of preparation, intention setting & new beginnings. Here we stand at the ending of one cycle & on the threshold of a new 28 days of lunar phasing. It is a time of balance, hope & desire, dreams & intentions and of confidently allowing ourselves to really feel into what we really want in our lives. This New Moon is asking us to take action on any area of life which is making itself prominent by raising old wounds for acknowledgement & healing . We are being encouraged to visualise & heal, to step into our authentic self! New Moon gives us a time of self expression & confidence to really put our desires into a space of manifestation. Like a vegetable patch which has been turned & prepared for seeding, the New Moon allows for us to plant those seeds of intent with hope in our hearts & minds. To make space for what is to come, we must first be sure to release that which is no longer of service to us, our paths & lives. This can be very difficult & we may get caught up in the process of acknowledgement & release, but that’s ok.
New Moon in Aries is sometimes a very vulnerable time for our emotions & relationships due to its darker nature & the presence of Chiron in this sign, but there is light with this present cosmic set up & there are some potent positives in this New Moon’s celestial manoeuvres. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac & a cardinal sign (action) is symbolic of new beginnings, fresh starts, new opportunities & full on energy! We may have been feeling this energy rising with the changing season & within ourselves too. We may feel brighter, happier, that there is light at the end of the tunnel & there is! Aries mostly focuses on the self & what we want for ourselves. Lets take a look at that. ‘For ourselves’ yes this really does mean the individual. Allowing ourselves to feel into this phase & all it has to offer is as important as the aspecting influences to New Moon. In addition, we have Chiron, the wounded healer in Aries. I will discuss this later.
For now sit with your needs & wants, desires & dreams for this coming zodiac year. Ask yourself:
What do you want to begin?
What do you really want to manifest into your life that will give you the life you want?
What seeds will you plant toward that end?
What intentions do you have for the month/ year ahead?
There is a lot of Aries energy & forward motion on offer to help us accomplish the tasks ahead. In addition, there are a lot of inspiration & action in the energies available. Think carefully & reasonably when manifesting as the universe may have our backs but it also has an outrageous sense of humour, so be careful what you wish for & even more careful when planting the seeds that you have the desired outcome in mind. Being specific with manifestation is key to success & even though we will meander through life touching on things & areas which may seem to have nothing to do with this outcome, always hold in the mind that there is a reason for all of it. When we come back to centre & harvest, these new skills & lessons coagulate to give us the necessary skills we need for our outcome. Furthermore, we are setting an intention, so we must also consider that we have work to do towards that end. The universe will help us if we help ourselves & this manifestation portal is one of the best opportunities we have this year. Furthermore, be mindful of words, thoughts & actions right now, to be sure that we are focusing on what it is we wish to attract. Words are powerful. Speak to yourself & others in kindness & positivity. Our inner narrative may need rejigging to more positive self talk. Its a bit like weeding a garden, each time you take out one weed, you turn to find another popping its head up & needing attention. This reprogramming of the brain can take some time, so be gentle on yourself until you find that the action becomes natural & fluid. Allow yourself to create thoughts that will become expressive of hope & opportunity by moving them from the zone of limited belief to the place of abundance.
New Moon conjunct Chiron in Aries. Chiron was the teacher of astrology & knowledge of herbal medicines. He is particularly linked to botanic wisdom, astronomy, music, medicine & divination. Chiron’s presence will bring physical & emotional wounds to the surface to be acknowledged & healed. Our increased awareness & empathy may present us with deep suffering from this pain. Remember, the universe will only give you what you are capable of handling. Although this seems overwhelming at times, know that you are not alone. Chiron encourages the great soul wounds we carry to be nurtured & healed. In this way we can use our knowledge as wisdom to heal ourselves. Knowing we have the ability to do this aids us to be of help to others who may need our experience & compassion too. Healing is a major theme for this phase & the next couple of weeks toward Full Moon. Be mindful of energy levels & acknowledge when it is time to slow this process to avoid burnout.
New Moon conjunct Mercury in Aries encourages us to communicate our feelings in depth to those around us we trust. We will know the right time & people to open up to. These will be provided by the universal flow of healing energies which are on offer through the Stellium of helpers & guides in Aries. This is the most potent healing time on offer this year! Know that support is on hand. This is our healing time. Those of you with which these words resonate will immediately understand this message. Do not be afraid to really express feelings, no matter how deep they run within. Wounds such as these are damaging & require attention. These are pains & hurts which will have caused several interactions within life, bringing about feelings of helplessness, lacking confidence, depression & anxiety, self pity & lacking self worth. Mercury wants us to talk it out! Chiron wants us to heal through his gifts & also through communicating using words & hands. Words are very powerful & can heal, as can hands being placed on the heart & thinking into our well of being (well being).
By being present & open to healing in its many forms we can utilise our pain & become the kind of people this world needs, compassionate, understanding, healing beings. We all know that the world needs more of us on this level right now! If we allow our wounds to guide us, we learn to accept who we really are, which in turn allows us to find the wisdom & inner strength we need to move forward. Motion is energy & energy is in divine creation. Connected to the universe we are co-creators of what is to come.
Finally, we have our theme of the year presenting itself in Pisces. As I have mentioned in previous articles, the outer planets of the solar system are slow movers in the cycle of the cosmos, affecting huge swathes of people. We call them generational planets because that is how they work on us humans, by bringing about changes involving global interactions & influencing new ways of being. The last waltz of the past few years has ended & a new one begins this year with both expansive Jupiter & inspirational Neptune, in Pisces. Both planets are at home in Pisces as they both have governorship of the sign of the fish. This should be interesting! Everything Jupiter comes into contact with is blessed, known as the lucky charm of the zodiac. This huge planet offers us increased self confidence & self belief. It is the planet of freedom, adventure, joy & opening our eyes to the bigger picture. Jupiter can present the dilemma of confidence, luck & morality versus lack of all. As it stands, Jupiter is the expander of energies, so everything will feel like its being stretched & made bigger. Neptune is the planet of inspiration, dreams, enlightenment, connection, sacrifice & mysticism. It presents visionary, poetic, artistic, meditation & enlightenment versus idealization, intoxication, spirit & paranormal. In conjunction, they symbolise a shared awakening & expanded psychic energies. This is a time for meditating on our next spiritual encounter, or whichever instinctual urges we are experiencing. We will feel the wave of calling, beckoning us to our next destination. We can fight it & lose out & continually hurt ourselves or we can heal & freely move toward it with eagerness. The choice is always ours & ours alone. Be mindful of burnout, but also of recharging your protective energy shield.
As New Moon presents a night sky void of light, we are encouraged to go within & listen to our inner voice & guides. We are being asked to sit with & nurse our deepest wound & to take action. No more stagnating, no more brushing things under the carpet, this is the time to walk into our most truest form & requires our energy now! Movement forward no matter how that takes shape is energy. We are creating our future by being in the present & absorbing all that is on offer for our healing to take place. As messy as this can get, know that healing takes place when we feel the feels, helping us move toward our next destination as a brighter, lighter being.
Thank you for joining my on another adventure through the cosmic energies on offer to us at this potent time of year. I wish for you all to navigate to safe & true harbour which holds you, heals you & helps you to see past the pain of old wounds into the light of your truest being. So Mote it Be!
Join me again for Astro: Full Moon when we will launch ourselves into Libra Moon’s fullness & diplomacy. Until then, Merry met & merry meet again.
In gratitude, love, light & all betwixt
Sheela
