The New Moon's Fiery Entrance in Aries


We are now under the spell of the Aries New Moon, signaling planting time. New Moons sweep clean. This is a fiery new start in Aries-expect the energy of this pioneering planet to break the seeds of our unconscious open. Growth requires the shoots of what has been hibernating to emerge from its frozen coffin. The verdant greens, sweet smells, and array of colors remind us that life is rebounding in its own unique style-no two springs are alike. 

This is a mixed New Moon, one making us want our cake and eat it, too. Being in Venus retrograde at the same time, this lunation suggests that either we are too bedazzled by a distorted, over-idealized desire or we are repelling the unseemly because we cannot face the ugly facts. Contradictions abound as we sort this from that.

Spring conjures visions of a bucolic nature-its definition is to 'thrust forward'. After months of winter, we see the returning long sun with its power to energize. But the vernal equinox also energizes its dark side: it is the season which triggers increased rates of depression, bi-polar disorder episodes, and suicide. 

As we nurture our unconscious tender sprouts rising this season, this New Moon makes us aware that growth depends on sun and rain.
