The New Moon takes place Sunday (22:30 EST) at 22 degrees of Aries. Mars (the ruling planet of Aries) is in Gemini and is in a supportive sextile to the New Moon. This is a helpful aspect which means there is some momentum and focus currently available to help you gain traction in your life. It might not be about taking major risks but more about sorting out your priorities and projects, getting rid of stuff, and dealing with things that were left on the back burner for too long.
You may find yourself looking forward more so than backward. Jupiter which is often associated with perspective and faith is also sextile to the New Moon. We are forging the path ahead wether we like it or not. I say wether we like it or not because the emphasis on Fire and Air signs at the moment is not overly emotional but more progressive and action oriented. This is allowing for greater presence, embodiment and courage to deal with whatever life is throwing at you. The train is moving ahead and gaining speed either way so might as well make the best of it right? With Mars in Gemini, every little actions that you take every day can makes a difference in the long run. It’s not so much about the big bold moves you can make right now but more about the cumulative effect of small initiatives.
Later this month we will have a pretty strong ‘’mood switch’’ once the Sun, Venus, and Mercury leave Aries for the sign of Taurus and start triggering the Saturn-Uranus square. Mars will also leave Gemini to move into the Water sign of Cancer. Mars in Cancer will rule over the Full Moon in Scorpio at the end of April inviting us to take a deep dive into our guts and emotional bodies.
Until then, take advantage of the dry land and speed of Aries to stoke your creative fires, make lists, and get shit done.
