Aries New Moon
The ARIES NEW MOON is exact at 11 degrees ARIES on Thursday, March 31st at 11:24PM Pacific Time.
This Moon is very personal to me, as I was born under an Aries Moon. The Moon in our birth charts points to what will nourish and center us, leading to contentment and well-being deep within our hearts and souls. The Moon in the birth chart also shines a light on our specific ways of nourishing, nurturing and caring for others.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac – PRIMAL FIRE.
The SPARK OF LIFE itself.
Aries ignites EMERGENCE. The process of birthing ourselves and our dreams continuously into existence, that we may be more and more PASSIONATELY, FULLY HERE.
EMBODIED and “AVAILABLE TO LIFE!”
Aries stokes the motivation to unceasingly LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES and our DESIRE (Eros), ever intimate with the evolution of what we want and need to whole-heartedly engage with Life moving through us and around us.
Through the Aries process of self-discovery, we have the opportunity to develop our AGENCY, in which we recognize ourselves as conscious CREATORS (co-creators), as beings who have the power to SHAPE CHANGE (as sci-fi writer, Octavia Butler taught).
It’s important to note here that a less conscious (distorted) manifestation of Aries is that of the rugged individualist, which is wildly idealized and promoted in white supremacy culture. The conditioning around individualism is thick. As Tema Okun writes, “white supremacy culture trains us all to internalize attitudes and behaviors that do not serve any of us.”
With ARIES being the WARRIOR of the zodiac, can we channel this FIERCE, LASER-FOCUSED energy to uproot and divest from the characteristics of white supremacy culture?
Aries is just as much about learning what we want to say YES to as what we need to say NO to.
And, when we hold the deepest Aries wisdom at the center, we align with the knowledge that the Aries Warrior is charged with the responsibility to defend and uphold that which is LIFE-GIVING. To act with LIFE-SUSTAINING vision and intention.
The Aries Warrior path is one of relentless commitment to FACE FEARS and BUILD COURAGE so that a willingness to TAKE RISKS and STAND UP in the face of the denial of Life (characteristics of white supremacy culture, for example) is not even a question.
The Aries energy within all of us is deeply enlivened each time we rise to meet this calling.
And, know that when the Moon in the sky transits through the sign of Aries each month, for those 2.5 days, it is a time when the Aries energy within each of us receives a boost, an added stimulation. It is an opportunity for us to explore, experience and integrate Aries energy more deeply into our being.
