The New Moon in Aries on April 11, 2021 (at 22:30EST) is a fresh start.
A re-animation. The urgent New. In living color.
Struck by our own dynamic selfhood, the urge for our new chapter bursts forth. The future calls.
The Sun entered Aries on March 20, initiating a new beginning and reminding us that life wants to be ALIVE.
Energy rose, but clarity likely faltered. A myriad of options and possibilities presented themselves. The path forward has been winding.. wavy.. indirect.
Time feels fast. Warp speed.
Reality feels slippery. Malleable.
Things are not as they seem.
We’ve been steeping in an excess of information and dreamy, emotional undercurrents. The intellectual and the spiritual seem to be pulling in contrary directions. Under-the-surface influences have not yet made themselves known.
How do we begin if we don’t quite know where we’re going?
We take the next step. We breathe our next breath.
Under this New Moon, we make a comeback.
Welcome revival.
Resurrect.
Begin again.
This New Moon occurs at 22 degrees, 24 minutes Aries.
Back in January 2020, Saturn and Pluto conjoined at 22 degrees Capricorn (their first meeting in the sign since 1518). This initiated an archetypal Tower experience, when longstanding structures meet irrevocable change.
1.25 years later, consolidation and collapse of outworn systems is vastly underway.
This New Moon is an initiation. It is a key in the ignition in response to global, and personal, conditions.
There are choices to be made, and momentum is rapid fire. Summon the strength to respond.
Let yourself be moved. Know your motivations.
What is next on your journey of self-realization and self-actualization?
What are you willing?
What do you desire?
How will you stand?
Some astro-details of this lunation:
Mars is in Gemini.
You may feel drawn to 2 or 3 or 6 different options
Craving to taste the rainbow.
Prone to do-overs.
Of two minds.
Mars in Gemini is curious. Social. Learning. Shapeshifting. Adapting. Pollinating.
The risk is in becoming too mental.
If you really want to know which way to go, resist overthinking it.
Unwind the mind. Notice what compels you.
Mercury is in Aries.
Find the flame and follow it.
Pay attention to your initial impression, before you had a chance to second-guess.
Notice where the energy sparks.
Call forth the decision that fosters passion and leadership.
Mars just cleared a square with Neptune.
On Friday, April 9th, we encountered a curveball.
A loss, confusion, or diversion.
A lack of energy, or a leak.
A grief, or a dream, too fascinating to ignore.
A scenario equal parts bewitching and beguiling.
Movements must be divinely inspired, but not naive.
Balancing intellect and intuition is imperative now. But also play the fool. You are at the beginning of a journey that no amount of logic can trustily inform.
Risk and wonder.
Fortunately, by the time this New Moon plants its seeds, the confusion of this influence begins to give way to a sense of having cleaned slate.
Venus is square Pluto.
Something long simmering under the surface comes up from the deep.
An issue of power, or property, or receptivity.
Negotiations may feel fraught.
Relationships and resources are ready to transform.
Some patterns are meant to survive. Others must die to be transmuted into superpowers.
This Moon, and the days following it, may finally deliver the direction we’ve been angling toward. Our next step will be to truly invest.
