Mercury entered Aries, joining the string of celestial bodies - the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Neptune and Chiron - and the New Moon on April 17th. That’s a lot of Aries energy to harness, and a multitude of astrological permutations to explore.

Mercury highlights our communication skills and thought processes. Helping us harness the archetype of the messenger. The lens of Aries highlights attributes like action, initiation, courage, and leadership. Let’s view the Aries energy as your quest for sovereignty and independence. The part of you that’s self-sufficient and emanates a strong sense of self. There’s a strong physicality to Aries. You’ll make things physically active when you can, and you’ll hone your personal physical embodiment.

Let’s focus on vibrancy and vitality. Moving toward a more loving and abundant world. Rather than focusing solely on the symbology around war and conflict that may come with Aries perspective. If you’re already impulsive or over-active - this is a great time to balance those attributes. Reel it in, pull the reigns, do what you need to do to course correct. Find your reinforcement of boundaries when needed.

When considering your seeds of intention for the New Moon in Aries, feel into the conjunction with Chiron. Part of the wounded healer ethos is revealing resonance around the sentiment of “I’m not good enough” - Aries will reframe this for you: “I am good enough, having this part of me there too.” Everything you’ve surpassed has contributed to who you are today. With your embodied Chiron, ask how your previous wounds now influence your leadership style? Who will you be moving forward?
