Dear Moonsurfers,This is the dose of go-juice you've been waiting for!
The Aries New Moon is the most powerful New Moon of the year for granting wishes! You've got to go for it...dare to take charge of your life...step out fearlessly and make a fresh start.
So of course, the universe in its infinite wisdom has concocted a tense socko boffo set- up forcing your fears and no-longer-acceptable limitations to the surface, so you'll face and clear them.
The set-up is a 3-way face-off made up of the Sun and Moon in fiery just-do-it Aries, assertive Mars in emotional (re-e-e-ally emotional now) security-oriented Cancer, and expansive Jupiter in responsible achievement-oriented Capricorn.
Mars in Cancer both rules AND squares this New Moon ramping up emotions and general moodiness, then big-thinking Jupiter makes it all...well bigger...and it could have you over-reaching, overextending, or blowing things out of proportion. You may feel these energies absolutely propelling you to take action, but remember to be a bit cautious. You don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water...meaning you want to keep the positive structures in your life as you identify and release old attitudes and limitations.
Part of this tug-of-war energy will stay in play throughout April and this means that improperly expressed emotional energy and selfish egos could be running rampant. However, if you can re-channel the power being usurped by the anger and focus on something really positive and constructive... then what you set into motion now is guaranteed to pay off BIG time as you move on through the year. The best way I know of to make sure you channel your energy in creative and powerfully constructive ways is with this month's Aries Lunar Journal.
If you're feeling driven to upset apple carts and burn bridges willy nilly, remember to slow down...take a beat and reflect on this image. Think of a crossbow with great tension on the string. The Sun and Moon in Aries is your magic arrow and you're a sacred archer. Using your courage and will... really pull back that arrow and let it fly (fueled by the divine fire of spirit) straight through the opposing open airy skies of Libra focusing on balance, harmony, beauty...and peace. Those are the antidotes for these conflicting energies.Welcome peace and of course...love... and come out of your head and into your heart.
As it was at the time of the last Libra Full Moon, relationships are once again a major area of release and insight. Treasure those that are working and know that you have cosmic support and opportunities to heal old wounds now.
Those of you with planets in Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn are especially feeling the call to transform your personal lives and express your potential in new ways. All of you have some areas of your life primed for rebirth and a fresh start. It's a particularly powerful time to find out what those areas are for you personally and the actions that will produce the results you want with a reading.
I always think of Aries as Star Trek energy...the energy of "boldly going where no one has gone before." Also..."to pioneer new worlds". That's what's happening now to you and me and everybody on the planet.
Pluto began a retrograde journey 2 days ago on April 2nd demanding we all take responsibility for the methods we've used to deal with limits and resources...both personal and planetary. The whole world has begun a critical time of MAJOR rebalancing...after all 2012 is just around the corner, so EVERYthing's gotta shift. That, of course, begins with you and me.
This New Moon indicates it's time for a real leap of faith...time to reinvent yourself and your life. Give it all some thought and then...make a wish.
