The Sun and Moon are aligned at 9º Aries 59' (go ahead and round up to 10) -- where does this fall in your birth chart? Look for the Aries glyph around the outside of your wheel. Take note that Aries might fall across two houses.

These interpretations below are just a jumping off point -- like this New Moon.

Forecast for the Houses

Aries New Moon in the First House: (House of Aries and Mars) Your rising sign is (possibly) Aries, so this is backing to go big, and make a striking first impression. Being seen -- by potential employers, friends, acquaintances -- sets things in motion. Your presence opens doors -- now is a time to reinvigorate your self-image. Adorn yourself with the colors of fire -- oranges, reds, yellow. The heat of the sauna or steam room is purifying, and a place for reflection at the New Moon. Get moving, with a vigorous activity you love doing. Do your own thing, even if it makes you stand out -- embody the power of the pioneer. Spirit in Action: Sparking encouragement; taking the lead; demonstrating the magic of action; animated and inspired.

Aries New Moon in the Second House: (House of Taurus and Venus) With Aries here, you're the first to jump on novel ways of making a living. This lunation revives your entrepreneurial spirit. Have you been developing an idea or product that's aligned with a niche in the market? Now is a time for strategy, drawing allies, and mapping out a plan of action. Ponder how to share your originality with the world, as something to sustain you (through wealth). Be a pioneer -- consider radical ways to thrive. Put energy into cultivating your natural talents, and face fears of not being good enough. Beautify your space, take stock of your assets (inner and outer), and work practical magic in the 3D. Spirit in Action: Live your values. Strike out on your own and be productive. Grow your own!

Aries New Moon in the Third House: (House of Gemini and Mercury) The fires of Aries in your third house give you a dynamism in everyday exchanges. You're often the first to ride a trend, and come alive in an animated, very social atmosphere. What will light a new fire in your consciousness? Follow what's full of potential -- areas to learn about, research, expand your vision. Is it time for a purge of the trappings of an old mindset? A physical act is recycling old magazines, switching out books, starting a brand new journal. Start a blog or site to share your perspective. Consider fiery oratory -- ways to tell stories or give presentations where your whole body is alive. Spirit in Action: Sparking ideas. Moving others with your passion through a medium. Bright mind awakens potential in others.

Aries New Moon in the Fourth House: (House of Cancer and the Moon) Aries here paints the walls red, and ensures a high-spirited home life. This lunation could inspire a move, or investment in real estate. You're alerted to ways to grow, having to do with family, origins and sense of place. You might conspire more family time, without distractions. This could be time to rearrange the furniture, to support new ventures. An area dedicated for work, regular exercise or creative experimentation could be what's needed now. Out with the old, in with the new -- a trip to Goodwill could be in order. Sage your home, and enliven it with vibrant music and colors. Spirit in Action: Investing more in home life. Making home a nurturing place for the essential self. Striking out from family (perhaps temporarily), to remember who you are.

Aries in the Fifth House: (House of Leo and the Sun) With the fires of Aries stoking your natal house here, you are revitalized by adventures, romance, and what you do in your time off. Now is the time to jump on activities that vibe with fun, testing your abilities, and perhaps some good-natured competition. What mediums of self-expression are calling you? There could be more than a hobby in it -- new doors, friendships and even love could be found by following what you love. There's an element of the speculative here, for risks at this lunation in finances, love or a creative idea. The act of trusting, and going with instincts makes you a winner in the process. Spirit in Action: Spotting a lucrative investment opportunity. The courage to create. An ardent love affair.

Aries New Moon in the Sixth House: (House of Virgo and Mercury or Chiron) An Aries-inspired house of health and working life makes you one to squeeze out all you can in a day. A new habit of exercise started now can be a catalyst -- for your social life, health and even your love life. Applying heat/warmth to diseases of body and mind can be purifying -- like taking a sauna or soaking up the Sun. Be a warrior for your own sanity. That word has a Sixth House (Virgo) theme in it -- sanitation. Be bold with healing, and getting rid of dead weight. A shake up in your routine wakes you up, and in that alert state, life is good. Spirit in Action: Exploring a cutting edge health technology. Looking into being a healing pioneer. Declaring independence from treating symptoms, and getting to the core issues and prevention. Taking charge of your health and day's rhythm. Taking a stand and confronting what keeps you from being productive.

Aries New Moon in the Seventh House: (House of Libra and Venus) Your house of Libra is Aries-charged, making all relationships intense. You thrive when you're challenged to keep at your edge. This lunation, call in friends and partners who provoke you -- even with tough love -- to be independent, and reach your true potential. If you seek a main ally in love or business, draw up a wish list of qualities and send it out at the New Moon. This house is also about meeting the public, or your audience. Shifting focus to those who will be receptive to your ideas makes a huge difference == hone in on your target audience. Spirit in Action: An overhaul in how you present yourself or market your business. A significant change in relationships -- endings or beginnings.

Aries New Moon in the Eighth House: (House of Scorpio and Pluto) Aries in the house of the shaman gives you a bold spirit for even the most difficult feats of transformation. This lunation opens doors to new 'secret' knowledge, perhaps a new area of experiential learning. A cauldron, bonfire or candle can be a point of meditation, to purify your psyche, to die and be reborn from the ashes. Write down what you'd like to transform on paper and cast it into the fire. Cut cords with someone you're enmeshed with, by visualizing fire between you. A wildfire has its place in nature, cracking open seeds, and burning off dead material. Soul searching now has that feel of walking through fire, and emerging ready to begin again. Spirit in Action: Being a catalyst, drawing out hidden treasure. Becoming independent financially, or merging resources with another. Fighting off energy vampires, being your own psychic border control.

Aries New Moon in the Ninth House: (House of Sagittarius and Jupiter) Lucky Jupiter and the bold spirit of Aries in this house combine to give you a mighty adventurous spirit. A fresh start here could mean a new field of study, travel plans or following a thread of gold to an inspired philosophy. Many times in your life, you reach new horizons that revive your sense of the future. The seeker shows up in dreams at this lunation, dropping hints with synch winks at what paths to embark on. Travel could have some physical challenge to it, like walking the Camino or The Way, in Spain. Your quest has to be full-bodied, for you to stay engaged. Spirit in Action: A solo journey. Lightening your load, to be light on your feet (like the Fool). Combining the intellect with hands-on experience. Travel and knowledge-seeking, on one trip.

Aries New Moon in the Tenth House: (House of Capricorn and Saturn) You're an ambitious soul with Aries in your house of life's work. This is a lunation to rededicate yourself to your calling. If there is a huge gap between you and your dream, ask for spirit's guidance to close it. Aries here gives you courage and resolve. This could be time to set new goals -- a new mountain to climb. You thrive with meaty and long-term goals, and actions now have force to move you upward. Is it time to take the lead? Looking at your competition in an area gives you insight into how it's done. Meet up with someone whose achievements you admire. A great time to think realistically about your work life, with the optimism of Aries to overcome hurdles in the way. Spirit in Action Finding a mentor, or being one. Stepping into authority in your field. Gaining credentials and experience, toward mastery.

Aries New Moon in the Eleventh House: (House of Aquarius and Uranus) With Aries in your house of friends and allies, you're a natural leader. Fresh air in this house means a look at who you're keeping company with. Is it time to draw into your sphere new friends that vibe with your current interests? You also might follow a passion for a cause, a vision or an emerging paradigm. Moving in circles of bright minds nourishes your need for a new beginning. Now is a time, too, for unconventional plans of action. You might defy convention, by breaking away from the Internet, or some other radical move of mental independence. An unusual interest could end up being a viable path -- one of movement and growth. Spirit in Action: Joining or leaving a club/group/association. Inspiration out of the blue. The power of invention, originality, quirky ways.

Aries New Moon in the Twelfth House: (House of Pisces and Neptune) If Aries is the light in your house of the deep interior, you wield power behind the scenes. You instinctively know that all that's seen, first is experienced as unseen. Your force as a visionary makes this lunation one for soul searching, downtime and active dreaming. A retreat for you can be very active, in your studio, pottering around, or walking in nature. The new treasure is found when you consult your divine inspiration directly, cutting out any middlemen and distractions. Spirit in Action: Be present to your own rich inner landscape; Move your soul messages; Unplug and tune in to something more; Create a vision board; Invite the muse, create, rest, be.

Aries New Moon, 2014

Ancient and Natural

A confidence-boosting New Moon in Aries is exact on Sunday, March 30th (at 2:45 pm EDT). It falls at 9º Aries 59', so rounded up to 10 degrees, this is your zone to grow.

See your forecast --  Aries New Moon in the Houses -- for this degree of Aries in your chart.

This is a super-charged seeding time for anything new. And if you’re struggling with dragging energy, it’s a spark out of stagnation. 

Aries brings with it a natural enthusiasm, a lightness of being and eagerness for new experiences.  The days ahead into April look to be full of cardinal tension, and a pressure to grow or adapt.  Aries is fuel to look alive, and have courage in drastic times.   

Serendipitously, I picked the Fire Dragon or Draig-teine (in Gaelic), in the Druid Animal Oracle.  "Draig-teine brings vitality, enthusiasm, and courage, and an increased ability to overcome obstacles and to find the energy needed to cope with life's problems."  The Fire Dragon awakens your own inner fire, to use with "laser-like precision to help you accomplish tasks..."

Evolutionary Pressure

  Here's the Aries New Moon chart  -- the transformation zapper Uranus is right there at 12 degrees Aries.  New Moons are often times of retreat, so here, there can be implosions that set outer change in motion.  

Uranus is in its sparky, threatening angle to Pluto (Capricorn) and both form a T-Square (motivating tension) to Jupiter (Cancer).  There's been a lot of talk of humanity and Earth itself becoming something wholly new. 

And yet, Jupiter is in the sign of home, origins (the past) and what's nurturing to life.  Aries is the sign most eager to go on, and do it.  But Pluto in its square makes known any areas that still need detoxing, eliminating, deprogramming.  The Jupiter angle supports big growth when there's an atmosphere or mood (Cancer) that's familiar, timeless.

The impression I get with this T-square at the New Moon is that it's one for speedy surge-like growth.  But that the Uranus-Pluto square is as much about taking apart, as it is about building up.  Some may experience a breakdown, others a breakthrough.

And that Jupiter (Cancer) shines its light on the path of the personal -- what makes sense from the roots of your own life story.  It's a fine time then for active mining of the past, lifting out what has emotional potency. 

”Mars Launches Sun to Stardom”

So often, we're pulled into the drama of others (celebrities, news, memes).  But Aries season is when the spirit of individualism is peaking.  Add the rebellion of Uranus, and it's a recipe for coming back to your own life, taking the road less traveled. 

Mars (in Libra)  is backing up to complete the cardinal cross in April.   Mars is Aries' ruler and its boldness gives your unique way (Sun) a bounce.

Aries is a champion of selfhood, and your Sun sign is your essential way of expressing who you are.

I’m reminded of what Marguerite Manning said, in a conversation on Neptune Nudges and Karma. I asked her an admittedly broad question, “What’s this thing called life all about?” And she responded, “I think it’s about living an honorable human life, and that’s one that the body has worked for, but the soul can be proud of...and I think down here on planet earth that’s a little difference because we’re spiritual beings having a mental experience in a physical world and that’s why we need Mars to push that Sun to stardom and Neptune out there reminding us of the initial game plan. It’s about meeting your past, looking it square in the eye and saying, how do I move beyond this.”

Neptune and Pisces (Mercury) form miraculous angles and undercurrents at the New Moon.  In times like these, so demanding and exciting, Neptune sight reveals what's fluid, what old beliefs or roles can be slipped off like an out-of-date dress. 

Here is a New Moon for deep contemplation, and purposeful exploration of the self. This can happen organically, in dreams that stay with you, or patterns in relationship that alert you to what’s in shadow in your psyche.

Innocence of the Fool

There are eclipses ahead that also have themes of facing the shadow and upheaval of the psyche. For the seeker, these help you align your intent to your will power even more.

But for this Aries New Moon, let the sunniest picture of who you’re becoming be your guide. New Moons are a time to rein in your focus, and Aries’ specialty is directed energy toward a singular goal. A tip is to keep it simple, for now. For example, you might simply evoke the intention of “less fear, more love” as a motivating force.

And then muse on what scenes come to mind that illustrate that for you. You might experiment with saying, “I am (fill in desired trait).” As you say it, experience it as a sensation. Aries’ color is red, but in ritual, white or purple (for Jupiter’s noble aim) also works. May you be revived by glimpses of stirring possibilities, and your own bright spirit at the Aries New Moon!

Mercury in Aries

Those with Mercury in Aries seek out the new, and present ideas to others energetically. They dazzle others by intuitively hitting on the essentials of a situation. They speak in a direct style that leaves the prolonged mulling over to others. They tell it like it is, and sometimes their honesty is brutal. They are forthright, so others don't have to read between the lines. Decisions are made quickly, and carry a sense of momentum to set it in motion. This makes them dynamic leaders who walk their talk, and inspire others to act.

Their mind is like a high-powered flashlight, with a concentrated focus. They're always seeking that breakthrough moment, when a brilliant notion captures their interest. Theirs is a mind hungry for stimulation and vigorous exchange. That need for verbal sparring can make them confrontational, always escalating conversations into arguments. They provoke others through language, and at extremes can be ruthless in their teasing.

The need to be brilliant and "win" debates means they encounter others as adversaries, even those they love. If this is not kept under control, they become insufferable "know-it-alls." They're restless and grow visibly frustrated when faced with delays. This Mercury also grows impatient with those they consider dim witted, which from their estimation, is a huge swath of the population. They love mental challenges that involve strategy and competition, like chess.

This Mercury's opinions and observations are creations of a self-centered mind. They can be defensive if challenged, because they are their thoughts. As forceful communicators, they are known to "ram" their ideas down others throats. But more often, their confident style infuses a stagnant atmosphere with new life. The fired up way they describe things is contagious, and soon others are alive with ideas, too.

The originality of Mercury in Aries makes them stand out in their fields. A concept they've hatched might take on a life of its own, and be an idea that others rally around. Chances are, they've got a few followers that hang on their every word. Their gift is sudden illumination, and it often startles others. Their challenge is to grow patient with the details, and to stick with projects through the tedious bits. They're genius at starting little fires, and quickly moving on to the next big thing. They are rarely bored, since there's always something new to discover.

Aries New Moon is Day One

I'll be in my garden today, pulling weeds -- the Sun is out here on Sunday and I want to be out-of-doors! And by happy accident, it's in sync with the rhythm of lunar gardening -- a powerful day to plant seeds is the New Moon, when the Moon moves into fertile Taurus on April 1st.

In the meantime, the Aries energy, with the Aries New Moon (today- March 30th), is physically vitalizing -- much can be worked out, in motion.

The luminaries (Sun and Moon) are at 10 Aries, making angles to the same planets involved in April's grand cross (around April 20-23rd). That makes this Day One, in a lunation/month of anticipated birthing-the-new drama. Here's my take, with more to come: April's Astrology & the Cardinal Grand Cross.

Sun into Aries, Vernal Equinox

In Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back, Luke encounters Yoda, who explains "The Force" that's all around to make an ally. Luke says, "All right, I'll give it a try." Yoda replies, "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try."

That could be an Aries saying. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, one of big action and big energy. The Sun goes into Aries today, which also marks the first day of Spring -- the Vernal Equinox.

Aries season is the atmosphere for growth spurts, right along with nature. And yet, Aries' ruler Mars is retrograde now, and in the opposite sign Libra. The Ram without subtlety or sense of timing can come up against resistance or worse -- no reaction at all.

There are a lot of cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) energies in play, so actions can get a strong reaction. Where is Aries in your birth chart? That's the life sphere where you come alive, when facing fears and doing it anyway.

Like the young German Christoph Rehage who walked 3,000 miles across China -- documented here in time-lapse images, The Longest Way. He was driven to do it, and he did. That's the spirit of The Fool in the Tarot, and Aries. Happy Spring!

Aries: Courage to Face Disillusionment

Mercury came out of its release phase, in Neptune's sign Pisces at 3 degrees (March 21st). One experience associated with Neptune (and Pisces) is disillusionment -- the dissolving of illusions.

Melody Scott Zindell wrote this on Neptune and a Collective Healing Crisis: "Things are not as bad as they may look. It's easy to see the insanity of these times, the hypocrisy, the scary disregard for rights and boundaries, the victims and the violence. This is the extreme polarization of these times, which I feel is part of the process needed to create our new future. We must be ready to face the shadow and not be in denial of what is actually going on in the world. It's easy sometimes to feel so helpless, overwhelmed and depressed. But this process also clarifies where we have been misled and just how far from our dreams for our lives we can be."

Speaking of dreams for our lives, there's an Aries New Moon this Sunday, and it's super-charged by Uranus the vitalizing evolutionary force. Creative acts can lead to surprises or shocks -- the effects of an action could create blowback, a chain reaction, great gains or losses. Uranus is electrifying the Sun-Moon, and creates a restlessness to experiment, break with stifling people or situations.

The narrator for the New Moon is Neptune, by way of Mercury in Pisces. So while there's drastic intensity in play, that wisdom Melody mentions is there to draw from. It's about being able to be in that in-between, when the old is out-of-date and the new is only just emerging.

Last few days, I've been in one of those rich, but disorienting in-between times. And it's a waning Moon, to go with the flow, of winding down, and preparing for the the new lunation.

Moon in Aries

Marlon Brando, Whitney Houston, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Stevie Wonder, Al Capone, Salvador Dali, Mark Twain, Cate Blanchette, Angelina Jolie
Those with the Moon in Aries have a fiery heart that always knows Spring will come again, no matter how things appear. And while they do feel intensely, this keeps them from lingering too long in an emotional mood. The Aries Moon is tempestuous, courageous and a great lover of personal freedom.
The Aries Moon can sense the truth of a matter right away, and grows restless for others to "get it." If they seem pent up, it's only that they're ready for the next big challenge. They'll be most alive if at the edge of trying new things and meeting new people.
They don't mean to harm when they cauterize emotional wounds with a verbal blowtorch rather than apply a soothing balm. Their words might be brusque, but often their medicine is the blinding truth that otherwise would go unsaid. In relationships of all kinds, count on them to keep it real, fresh and honest.
The Moon in Aries has a lit up quality that can make them sought after social companions. They'll be able to jump-start those at low ebb with their shiny charisma. But they'll need stimulation in return, or you'll soon see them looking for the exit. The one thing they don't stand for too long is restrictive or boring situations.
They'll need a romantic partner that won't be easily cowed by their bluster. After a cathartic argument, it'll be time for making up, and then the smoldering passion of the Aries Moon will re-emerge. If you can handle getting singed now and again, it'll likely be an unforgettable time.
