Moon Missive: Initiation by Aries
NEW MOON ARIES at 22° - April 11th
This moon initiates a 6-month cycle that gives us the opportunity to spark something important in an area of our life, to express a burning desire, and to be daring in a project, situation, or relationship.
Under the influence of Aries, there is a lot of will and leadership that takes place. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it’s a fire sign with a strong character. Aries acts on their impulses even if they don’t have all the answers and even if they don’t know how things are going to turn out. Aries just follows their instincts. A creative force allows them to initiate many projects, both in their sentimental and professional life by managing, leading, and trusting the process. This is what this new moon is asking us: to be a leader in our own lives.
The energies of initiation, will, and self-affirmation will be quite strong at the time of this lunation. Then, by the end of April, the planets will start to retrograde and make the next new moons quieter and in a way, more passive. This new moon will have beautiful support from Jupiter in Aquarius and from Mars in Gemini, which means that the energies of desire and legitimacy will come to support our process of creation and emergence of something new and more aligned with our souls' purpose.
In addition, Pluto is squaring this New Moon which can create tension, frustration, and delay. However, Pluto in Capricorn wants to send us a very clear message: something must die, an internal or external structure must collapse in order to initiate this new cycle. Transforming old patterns will allow us to be more authentic in our actions.
Don’t be in a rush to realize all your ideas. Everything needs time to grow. Don’t forget that this New Moon is for planting the seeds. Aries energy will help you rise up to your strength to face the unknown. May your self-confidence be boosted to achieve your goals.
