Moon Miniscopes
Taking Initiative.
The New Moon is on April 11th at 10:30 PM EST. The New Moon during Aries Season will always fall in Aries itself, signifying the start of a whole new cycle entirely. New Moons are a time for planting seeds and new endeavors, and when it is in Aries, it is the essence of fresh beginnings. Aries is bold, quick, and powerful. We charge ahead with confidence and strength. There is no time to cower or for uncertainty. Take that risk. This New Moon is exceptionally potent as it meets with Venus and reaches out to Jupiter while maintaining a strong relationship with Mars. With a stellium in Aries, this is good for matters that need to be handled swiftly and promptly and require you to take a leap of faith. More than anything, you have to believe in yourself and not lose steam.
Mars is the leader of this New Moon, adding fuel to the fire (in a good way), and it’s in perfect harmony with the Sun, Moon, and Venus. Saturn and Mercury are connecting, as well, at this New Moon, reminding us of the power that we have as we push forward. Saturn will ground us and ensure that the foundations we lay are strong and formidable, lasting and solid. Pluto will fight with the Aries Stellium, specifically Venus, so our need to drive ahead will be met with some obstacles. However, this is meant to transform you and have you check in with yourself along the way. We must heal and be willing to dig below the surface. The Pluto interaction can be volcanic if left unchecked.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 18º to 26º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
Note: Pluto will be in an exact square to Venus. This can be initially very tough. Especially as Venus is looking for freedom, pleasure and joy. Pluto will try to dive deep and can create power struggles. We have outlets though, so we can’t allow for obstacles to hold us back. The fiery energy of Aries can blaze new trails and new paths. So, as Pluto forces us to transform, the Aries stellium will give us momentum. Nothing is ever perfect in life, and this is a reminder to not back down in the face of any adversity.
