Aries really wants to establish a unique identity, to pioneer a new way of being. Think of a volcano - that's how Aries creates new territory. Life rushes up and out and boldly goes where no one has gone before. So become the archetypal character you discovered yourself to be while Mars (who rules Aries) retrograded in Leo and from that standpoint IMAGINE what kind of new life you want to create. And know that you can.
It's time to become a warrior for life, not death. It's time to grapple with your personal issues and our collective issues. That's what the ancient Roman god Mars did he grappled with the issues that confronted Rome. He defended his Home/City/State/Country. That's what warriors do. This new Moon in Aries calls us to open to our warrior nature, to our pioneer, to our inner hero/ine.
Aries teaches us courage (remember Ava) and the will to overcome any obstacles. Aries is assertive, honest, feisty, enthusiastic and independent and meets life head-on. (Aries does rule the head.) So don't forget to ask for these qualities when you plant your Aries seeds this new Moon, because when Uranus goes into Aries for a few months this summer, you get to make your own rules.
At this new Moon, Aries' ruler Mars is in Leo and it inconjuncts Pluto in Capricorn. An inconjunct is a 150* angle which creates frustration and continual adjustments between the two energies involved so that we ultimately release old patterns of behavior. Mars and Pluto are very similar energies having to do with our real desires and how we go after them. Mars inconjunct Pluto demands that we pursue activities that transform our lives. But people also fear this kind of energy, and so we'll see many people hanging on for dear life to their control rather than implement the changes that can bring healing and strength to our individual lives and to our culture.
Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius both inconjunct Saturn now that it's back in Virgo. Saturn is retrograde and re-entered Virgo on April 7 and will be there until it returns to Libra for good on July 21. While Saturn is in Virgo, keep working on your health, your nutrition and your discernment. This is you last chance this Saturn cycle to get to know yourself before you look to know another. With Neptune inconjunct Saturn, we have to figure out the difference between illusion and reality. And I'm sure this will play out in the collective as well as the personal.
Venus joins Mercury in Taurus and they both have a wonderful relationship to Pluto, so use this energy to decide what brings you peace, what you really value and how you might bring those qualities into society through your personal relationships and through your work.
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon at 25* Aries is: The possibility for man to gain experience at two levels of being. The image denotes a revelation of new potentialities. This image is a call to be open to spirit and to shape your life based on your inner spiritual power, your Self. We are at the edge of a new evolutionary stage, which provides us with the possibility of incarnating our spiritual identity through the correct relationship to our ego identity. The potential is there we just have to manifest it.
In other words, become the hero/ine of your own life. That's a good idea to plant this new Moon. It's time to make some serious choices about life both your personal life and how that relates to our collective life.
