Visions, dreams and yearnings,
nebulous anxiety and fears
…cosmic waters recede.
Pluto plumbs and dredges the past,
yet more to discover, dig up and discard.
The only ground to stand on is the leading edge
of provocative fire.
The depth, the core, the leap,
and the courage of unfurling.
“It’s not the absence of fear. It’s overcoming it. Sometimes you’ve got to blast through and have faith.” Emma Watson (Aries woman, born April 15)
Fiery spiral of lifespring rising
from the subterranean bubbling;
vulnerable and perhaps raw,
we emerge with the bold vitality of Aries.
Take the initiative, break new ground,
Aries New Moon: Renewal.
“Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow.” Alice Mackenzie Swaim
Aries New Moon: Renewal
April 5, 2019 1:50 am PDT
Throughout the month of March, uncertainty and distractions muddled the collective view. Mercury retrograde in Pisces conjuct Neptune three times. Practical matters were often set aside or needed to be re-done. The fog is slowly lifting, although we’re not quite in the clear. The Aries New Moon brings an impatience to get on with it all. Aries, the warrior of elemental fire, takes a leap forward even though we may not have clarity about where we’re going or how to go about it. The karmic catharsis is rumbling and headstrong Aries’ impulse is to forge forward. More here: More than Mercury Retrograde.
Note April 10-13: Aries Sun squares Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn. You might need to move mountains. Be patient and pace yourself. Notice what’s up for you, you’ll be dealing with the same or similar issues in January of next year.
“Walking through this life really is walking through fire.” Chaka Khan (Aries woman, born March 23)
