There’s been a focus on Aries energy ever since the two outer planets: Saturn and Neptune went into Aries earlier this year. These two planets in Aries meeting up was monumental. They laid the groundwork for our individual dreams to become tangible manifestations that contribute in a vital way to the larger collective dream of unity.

There are other points in Aries as well: Chiron-the point of the wounded healer has been in Aries since 2018 and will stay there until 2027 and continue to facilitate personal healing through vulnerability and reminding us of our individual right to exist.

Eris is often referred to as “Aries sister” and in the sign of Aries she symbolizes boldly acknowledging when and where we have been personally “othered” and treated unjustly.

Then we have the personal planets that have been joining the Aries party and Moon being the fastest moving planet-only staying in a sign for 2.5 days will put the cherry on top when it gets to the same exact degree point as the Sun creating the New Moon in Aries on April 17th at 5:52am MST The Sun and the Moon conjunct only occurs once per month. It’s the only time of the month that the Sun (the current lifeforce energy) + the Moon (the current emotional state) come together to have a conversation in which they are able to see eye to eye and get on the same page. The Sun in Aries is pulsing with life force energy and ready to shine light on what needs to be done while the Moon in Aries is either responding with high energy, excitement & motivation to get going or reacting in anger and frustration that things aren’t moving faster or going the way he would like. Because Aries is experienced so powerfully in the body it’s important to be mindful of the way in which we are using the Aries energy especially when there’s this much of it.

Additional personal planets in Aries during the New Moon are: Mars-the planet that naturally rules Aries is actually conjunct and working together with the planet Saturn. Mars in Aries can really benefit from the influence of Saturn in Aries and that Saturn pretty much acts as a Guardian Angel ensuring that Mars in Aries doesnt make any sudden movements that will cost him more than he can handle. Mercury-the planet of communication and information is also in Aries symbolizing very direct, straight-forward and even blunt communication that has absolutely no filter. It’s conjunct + working together with the planet Neptune in Aries. Neptune is an outer planet and has more influence over Mercury. These two planets working together can make communication with others feel a bit fuzzy. We must be sure to get the story straight with Neptune casting it’s foggy energy over Mercury. This conjunction is good for connecting with your own inner voice or Higher Self guidance.

There are also several planets sextile Pluto in Aquarius during the Aries New Moon. A Sextile is an opportunity aspect meaning that the planet Pluto-the planet of deep transformation is offering an opportunity for healing to each of these planets: Mercury in Aries, Mars in Aries, and Saturn in Aries. So there is an opportunity for our communications, actions and the structures we are building to undergo a makeover to serve not just “I” but also “We”. Our dear Venus in her home sign of Taurus is sitting pretty during the new moon as she builds momentum in preparation for her conjunction with Uranus in Taurus on April 23rd-just two days before Uranus moves out of Taurus into Gemini after being in the sign of Taurus since 2018. Venus represents what we value and as it makes that exact conjunction to Uranus we will have a final opportunity to get real about what is ‘too much’: too stressful, too chaotic, too exhausting, too much money etc. Uranus has been trying to get us to see more clearly what stability looks like in our future and make the necessary adjustments so that we can be prepared for what is coming.

The North and the South Nodes are still in Pisces and Virgo helping us sort through, discern, and dissolve what is no longer working for us in terms of taking care of our own mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. The nodes are also guiding us into the future by asking us to surrender to the path of least resistance and let go of any attachments to the way we wanted it to be.

Jupiter in Cancer is sitting alone during the New Moon but definitely not quiet. Jupiter is always loudly and enthusiastically trying to push us to expand and evolve and in the personally emotional sign of Cancer that expansion is happening beneath the surface of our flesh-deep within the emotional terrain of our past lives. We are getting more and more clear about the narrative we are meant to carry about our family of origin, our lineage patterns, and how we want to show up emotionally going forward.
