The years go fast…There is much beauty awaiting – in undreamed of ecstasies, do not wait too long, do not delay too much…It is the only way worth living.” Emma Goldman

“You are the light of the world. You are the consciousness that illuminates the world. Know yourself as that, and that’s freedom, liberation, awakening, the end of suffering and madness. And it’s happening right here.” Eckhard Tolle
Aries New Moon
April 15, 2018 6:57 pm PDT
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, a young upstart not known for its patience. The new moon comes into place alongside Uranus, the rule-breaker. Together, they are a rash alliance that activates disruption and breakthrough. Situations that have been lagging may receive a new infusion of inspiration or a sharp push for change.
This lunation gives courage to move forward. If, for some reason, courage is masked or stifled, extreme dissatisfaction, anger and agitation usually arises in its place. The impulse, the urge to break out of limiting factors is strong. Aries acts swiftly and instinctually.
Uranus is moving through the final degrees of Aires. The seed of this new moon culminates in two weeks at the Scorpio Full Moon at the time Uranus begins to traverse the 29th degree (until it enters Taurus on May 15). Uranus is a planet of radical change. As we close important chapters in our lives, take note that Uranus is known as “The Awakener”.
Ready or not, the immediacy of this present moment propels us forward. Yet, the importance of conscious intention at this New Moon cannot be overstated. Mercury stations direct only hours before Sun and Moon align, don’t be too hasty. Mars (ruler of Aries) continues to travel between Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. It catches up with Pluto on April 26. It will be retrograde June 26 – August 27. There will be plenty of opportunities to test, question and struggle with self-initiative and the will of others. Now the question is where do you need to focus your fire and assert yourself? Are you fierce and unfettered or irritated and burnt out? Tune into your personal sense of Now… or Now What?

Thank you very much Jacqueline! I’m curious how Chiron transiting from Pisces into Aries Monday night fits into this picture?
Jacqueline says
You’re welcome Anthony.
Chiron is associated with hardship and the potential for healing wisdom that grows from it. The wound calls out for attention to what needs to be healed. Melanie Reinhart wrote in her excellent book, “Chiron and the Healing Journey” that Chiron involves the Healer, the Wounded One and the Wounder. There is a spectrum of potential manifestations to consider.
In Pisces, a sign that resonates with the collective, awareness of issues involving human rights, social oppression, refugees and homelessness have grown. In Aries, a sign that resonates with what is personal, the rise of particular individuals that champion the ability to rise above adversity through sheer force of will. On the shadow side, an emphasis on those who espouse “might makes right”. Issues with power and powerlessness, with ability and disability. All together, issues regarding health care will gain attention in a new light.
Note that Chiron is not done with Pisces. It enters Pisces again on September 25, 2018 and completes the swim when it fully enters Aries on February 18, 2019 until 2026.
