182.🌱First New Moon of the New Year: What will you make of this year? Follow your brave Heart💛It knows the way

Tonight is the Aries new moon, the first one of the new Astrological year. We begin a new cycle. We grow in new directions.  This moon is also joined by Messenger Mercury and deep healing Chiron. There are blessings here. Our wounds are surfacing to be held and honored. This Aries moon offers us the courage we need to hold space in all the ways required of us. We need to be brave. We are brave.

 

This last week has been deeply profound. The moon moved past serious Saturn conjoined with Venus triggering a deeper awareness of the truth of the situation, clarifying the necessary.  Saturn is stern and to the point and Venus is what we value, what we love and desire. Our values need our effort and commitment with this combination.  It is serious work indeed.

 

Right before the new moon in Aries. The Moon fuses frequencies with Jupiter and Neptune offering grace, truth, compassion and all things benevolent. In this dualistic realm, we could see the expansion to all that is opposite this too.  To be sure, the elixir of truth is available to us all now. Best that we take big gulps to stay cognizant and compassionate for the complicated journey ahead.

 

The New Moon in Aries is the thrust forward.  The first green of spring.  Things grow fast for the next three months. This is the perfect time to begin something Ambitious. Something that needs power and courage.   Mercury happens to be aligned with this moon too. How you think is harmonizing with what you need to do.  That is lucky.  We are Lucky!

 

With wounded healer Chiron conjunct this new moon in Aries communications are direct and possibly ill-considered. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to heal. It's not always easy to do  the necessary feeling to clear the past pains. It is impossible to avoid it with all these planets lined up in Aries huddled around Chiron.  Healing is our obligation.

 

Born to act Mars, ruler of this New moon, is conjunct Saturn. They are in humanitarian Aquarius.  But the energies here are so different. One is go, do not think about it.  The other is wait, consider things carefully.  It creates a great deal of stress.  

 

You may be feeling this acutely somewhere in your own chart. In your own life. There can be cruelty with this combo. But also the energy needed to see something through with painstaking attention to detail. 

This may be a classic beginning/end situation.  Try to attend to both.  There is an extra weight to this whole show.  A powerful impetus pushing our growth. Forcing our evolution.  This is not the time to abandon yourself.  You need to lean into what is needed to grow to make the most of this energy.

If we avoid things, we are faced with obstacles and burdens, or arbitrary authority looking for some power to struggle with. Not easy.  Better to lean into our heart energy and do what we know is right. Now is time for compassion, for ourselves and for others. We can care without carrying.

The New moon is exact at 11:24 pm PST.  The 72 hours after are incredibly potent for setting powerful intentions. This truly a time to begin. The new needs birthing.  We must move out of our comfort zones and embrace this mysterious adventure. We are now “The Fool”, card of the tarot. What will you create?

• What hurts are surfacing?
• How can you be more there for yourself?
• Where do you need to use your courage?
• Are you ready to release the past ?
• What is asking to be born now?
• Make a mind map or create art to represent your new year.

I wish you much good fortune on this pivotal time.  May your brave heart Light the way. May you be the person you came here to be. May all Love surround you!
