Sunday’s New Moon in Aries

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it; Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” Goethe

“I will not die an unlived life
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.” Dawna Narkova

The New Moon is at 10:31 PM Sunday EDT at 22 degrees of Aries. This is a feisty, fiery, action oriented  New Moon with the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury all in Aries – the Mars -ruled sign.  This provides excellent timing for setting or reaffirming intentions and taking action on them. Mars in Gemini is making a favorable alignment to Jupiter adding more energy but with the caveat to avoid impulsiveness.

The sign of Aries is about beginnings and it bodes well to make a new start at this time.

Venus and the Moon will both be squaring Pluto indicating that old fears or concerns about the lack of love or pleasure can more easily arise. Feelings can be more powerful under this influence.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Through imagination, a lost opportunity is regained.”

Mars and Neptune Together Again

” What seas what shores what grey rocks and what islands
What water lapping the bow
And scent of pine and the wood thrush singing through the fog
What images return
Oh my daughter.” TS Eliot

“Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself…All profitable correction comes from a calm and peaceful mind.” Francoise de Sales

Over the next few days Mars the planet of action and desire will be forming a challenging aspect to Neptune – the planet which rules, among other things, fog. This combination can contribute to an atmosphere of confusion. It’s best to make sure when making any decisions now that all the information is in and to watch out for any unnecessary complexity. Keep things simple and use common sense.

At the same time Saturn is making a harmonious alignment with both the North Node and Mercury indicating that there is support for long term goals build on a solid foundation. Patience and perseverance are the best ways to proceed now.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Two people at widely different points are in communication with each other by means of telepathy.”
