Aries New Moon--April 15, 2018--The Thrill of Rediscovery
Red Rams Charging Ahead
Some of you won't want to hear this, but Aries is my least favorite Zodiac Sign. It's not because Aries lacks any virtues. Aries possesses courage, bravery and a warrior spirit. But it is a Fire Sign and most impulsive of the Fire Signs. Many Aries people have popped into my life and rescued me many times. An Aries astrologer coach pushed me to taking astrology to the professional level. Another Aries person gave me work when I needed it. And some of my clients are Aries. So, I love you as people.
As a Cancerian I am of the Water element and I prefer to move sideways rather than directly. Aries represents the child or really, the infant. I've never been comfortable around infants and their constant needs. And some Aries I've known act before they think and they aren't as cautious as me. Well, I could go on, but I don't want to bore the Fire Sign people reading this article. After all, some of them see Cancerians as complainers. And we rant too.
If you're not familiar with Aries people or the sign, then think of the Dodge RAM truck. What feeling comes to mind when you bring up the image of this truck or a red sports car? How do you feel about the color red? Do you feel comfortable wearing red? Is it too sexy or assertive for you? This is not a judgment. However, the way you feel about red, fire, rams, and infants reveals your relationship with Aries. Are you into sports? Are you athletic? Do you have spunk? Are you sassy? Do you enjoy taking risks? These are all Aries traits. And yes, when the Sun transits through Aries I see red everywhere. I like the color red which is the color of Mars, Aries, and Scorpio (blood red).
Oddly, I pulled up a chart for Seattle, when I could have set the chart for Vancouver, Canada which is an Aries city (Seattle is either Scorpio or Capricorn).
And the Part of Fortune is on the Ascendant on this chart in the Sign of Libra which is the opposite of the Aries Sun which in this chart lands with a thud in the 7th House of Partnerships. And it's not alone either. The Moon and Uranus join the Sun along with the Vertex.
Since I am not an expert on the Vertex or the Part of Fortune, I'll let another astrologer tackle that. It is significant that the Sun and Moon join Uranus because Uranus is getting ready to transit into Taurus (which it will do in May).
Uranus is one degree away from the culmination point. And it is powerfully emotional and impulsive since the Moon is only 2 degrees away and combined with the Sun. And if that's not worrisome, then take a look at the square between the Sun/Moon/Uranus and the Capricorn Stellium with Saturn, Mars, Lilith, Vesta, and Pluto! I am a woman, hear me roar. Yes, that's the energy here. Or I am a child who won't be ignored.
Well, the crap is hitting the fan alright. All those movements with women demanding rights, children demanding rights, and immigrants demanding rights reach the crescendo. It's like listening to the most bombastic passages from Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Fate has already knocked at the door--and it came growling and snarling at our doorstep. Then the voices continued to grow louder and louder until no one can ignore the movements and grassroots groups any longer.
Hey folks, have you heard about Climate Change? Have you heard about children's rights? Have you noticed the violence happening around you involving guns and cars or gangs of misunderstood kids? Have you heard about women's rights? If you have been burying your head in the sand, events will force you out of denial. We rip the masks off the oppressors and some folks are raging mad, sorry to say. But think about what happens when a parent ignores an infant's demands. Either the infant gives up and develops a psychological disorder or grows even more demanding and cries even louder. This is the energy of this Aries New Moon.
Now, there are a few transits here to soften the blows as in two Golden Triangles in this chart that look like a crown. Isn't that strange? The first Golden Triangle features Jupiter in Scorpio in a trine with Neptune in Pisces and Neptune/Jupiter are in sextiles with the Capricorn Stellium. So, calm down boys or the hotheaded folks. Let's apply compassion and forgiveness here so we can get everyone on the same page. We won't solve the world's problems from a dualistic point of view. Us versus them is not going to cut it here. We need to visualize the peaceful outcome and then build the structure to achieve that.
On a personal level, this means that we need to make peace between our inner and outer identities. We need to get our needs met without acting passive-aggressive. Consider other when making choices and sometimes we just need to go it alone to build new structure in our lives.
The other Golden Triangle includes the Capricorn Stellium in a trine with peace-loving Venus in Taurus and then in a sextile with Neptune in Pisces. And then Jupiter is in a wide trine with Chiron as this asteroid-planet gets ready to move into Aries. So, this tells us that our anger and rage finds roots in our childhood wounds. And we want to resolve those wounds of not feeling heard or not feeling seen or recognized before Chiron moves into Aries or hell could break loose. Nothing like an inner child's fury!
We will look at values and not just monetary values, although Venus in Taurus is materialistic. We will explore how our values affect the health of the environment. Taurus and Capricorn represent the materialistic or physical realm. But Neptune represents our emotions, our intuition, and our compassion. We want to align our values with those qualities. We desire to build a more sustainable world where we honor nature, animals, and each other. At least this is what the crown in the chart says. We also want to honor our inner royalty. We all want to belong here and that our contributions matter. The saint and the criminal have similar needs.
Zodiac Forecasts for the Aries New Moon:
Aries: Either an outer or inner revolution calls to you now. No, I'm not thinking along the lines of Che Guevara, but maybe you need to shake things up a bit. Or in some cases maybe you need to tone things down a bit. You'll know by the way other people act around you. Are they running in the opposite direction or are they knocking at your door? This is how you'll know as you become a first responder to the day's events. You are certainly feeling passionate and have many things to say.
Taurus: For you, this is a time of looking at your values and reassessing your valuables. It would normally be a good time to purchase a new home or renovating an old one. But the people around you are marching all around you. You hear shouting in the streets, shouting in the media, and it seems to like the earth is shaking. And all you want, really, is a good dinner and some time to enjoy the finer things in life. Now, is not the time. Lace up your tennis shoes and join the marchers.
Gemini: Your main challenge is to remove yourself from the emotional drama so that you can gain clarity. All that shouting and posturing is turning you into a nervous wreck. You've probably given speeches about the causes of the day or you published articles. So, you did your part, right? You can always do more like putting your money behind your values or causes. Or you can organize a benefit or an event to bring more awareness to the world. You get my point. Don't take sides, but take a stance and then don't sway from it.
Cancer: Since this is my Sun Sign, I'll probably join you in hiding under a large rock. Or maybe we can duck into the nearest cave. But wait. The world needs our mothering and our nurturing as we bandage up injured egos and coach people on their spiritual paths. With Neptune highlighted in this chart along with Jupiter, our intuition expands beyond our wildest dreams. Need a job? I heard there is an opening for High Priestess.
Leo: I see a woman in a red dress showing up at a party and dancing the night away. And I see a quieter lion gently sleeping under the afternoon sun. April feels like the best of two extremes--fiery and passionate or mellow and thoughtful. It is a good month for getting creative because your creativity is at a peek. Write a story, write a play, design a costume, or join a dance class. Despite all the noise in the background you are the most hedonistic sign during this April New Moon. And you just don't know what all the fuss is about. But may I remind you, freedom is worth the fight.
Virgo: If you can get over feeling hypercritical about the government, economics, or your neighbors, you can use your energy to serve a good cause. Perhaps, a friend needs a planner for a charity event. Or if you are an energy healer, you see more clients come to you in April. People are under stress due to monumental changes happening in the world. And even though you push for changes and shifts in reality, you feel a case of nerves coming on too. Practice yoga or other grounding exercises. You will survive.
Libra: With the Sun, the Moon, and Uranus in Aries (your opposite sign), you have fallen out of balance. Due to higher stress levels (after all the world is in turmoil), you have been overeating sugary snacks and probably drinking too much alcohol if you are inclined to lean that way. You stopped exercising or your bank account is out of balance. Libra, I don't want to be the one to tell you but you need to sit down, balance the books, come up with a new exercise plan, and get back to your healthy diet. Otherwise, you won't be able to withstand the stress surrounding you. It's also time to lead a peace movement. Think Gandhi (a Libra) but also think Buddha (an Aries). I know, I have trouble believing that too.
Scorpio: Mars, Mars, Mars...if there was a sale on this planet, you would be first in line. And even though there isn't a sale on everything Mars, this fiery planet holds court with the other planets in April. First, we have a Full Moon and a New Moon with Mars signatures. Then Uranus finishes up a tour in Aries. And then coming up shortly, Mars moves into Aquarius. But none of that is on your mind. You feel kundlini rising and you express new found passion either for a new person in your life or for a new career opportunity. And if you could dream really big, what would you dream? Come up with a strategy to make that dream a reality. Make sure that you consider the rest of us when manifesting your Universal dream.
Sagittarius: Since Aries is a brother to you, get fired up for your favorite cause. Get ready to join a March or give a speech at a rally. Get ready to experience student uprising if you are a professor or a religious awakening if you are a religious leader. Get ready for confrontations. And carry your sword of truth. Book publishing and court cases go well now if you are on the correct side of new laws that appear out of nowhere. Isn't this a grand and fun time, Sag?
Capricorn: You are the steady rock we all lean upon during challenging times. You give us tools and advice that help us to help ourselves. You still believe that we ascend by pulling ourselves up by our own bootstraps. Okay, not all Capricorns pass a harsh judgment on others, but you have grown tired of whiners and you support the doers. Mirror the courage you want to see in the world and then watch the masses line up behind you.
Aquarius: You are the linchpin because your sign knows the ins and outs of organizing marches, rallies, and projecting into the future. Utopia is not just a word that begins with the underutilized letter U. You root for the underground and you lead the grassroots groups. March on, my friend, and make sure that you are not marching in the wrong direction because you shun the unwashed masses. I'm just having fun with you. Still, I wonder what movement you will carry off this time. Forget that no one understands you and just get moving.
Pisces: Hold the vision of a peaceful world without guns, without drugs and liberated from addictions and distractions. Imagine a world without duality and without wars fought in the name of religion. Imagine a world without abuse, neglect, or cruelty. This path begins with the "F" word called forgiveness. Shine your light and compassion on the world. And thank you for all the ways you serve humanity.
