New Moon in Aries – April 18, ’15

Happy lucky Jupiter in Leo is squaring Mars (ruler of Aries) tonight, which can activate exuberant, “leap before you look” energy. Let those bright ideas come through and give yourself the space to review before you commit to anything definite. But do allow the energy to propel you forward — and enjoy it! It feels invigorating to be inspired…

We have a New Moon in Aries tomorrow afternoon and, if any sign loves to take action, this is the one! Aries is the warrior, the maverick, the courageous, risk-taking, independent spirit, who can also be impulsive and impatient, so be mindful of that. 

Mars is currently in Taurus, sign of Fixed Earth. It is slow. Aries is naturally fast-acting, so Mars in Taurus affects the movement of Aries by making it a little more thoughtful before jumping in. This will serve being more deliberate in the moves you make now.

We’ve just finished the Eclipse energies that have ruled the last six weeks, with profound changes of direction that resulted in endings and new beginnings. 

However, the wake of the Uranus-Pluto square is not over yet (and won’t be for a while), so the energy of undoing continues to be active wherever shaky structures are still in place. Besides, we are remain in the Pluto station from yesterday – and will be for a while. This brings upheaval and resurrection, or transformation. 

Be willing to let go of anything that is complete, outdated or no longer serving you. Holding on only prolongs your discomfort and delays your progress, no matter how you rationalize or justify it.

If you need courage to make a move, let this New Moon in Aries give you the impetus to get the ball rolling on your own behalf.

This is the time to step up, take action and be a pioneer in your own life.  

• In which part of your life do you need to be courageous and do something different?  

• What is no longer working and needs to change?  

The Universe supports your efforts now, so make use of this energy and be proactive now!

We have all day Moon Void of Course  periods this week, which affects business and planning, so be aware when taking actions for maximum effectiveness.
