On 17 April, we have the New Moon in Aries. The surge of Mars Aries energy continues. This New Moon is absolutely striking because there are so many other planets in Aries at the same time. There is Neptune, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Chiron, the Sun, and the Moon all grouped together. Naturally, this is drawing our attention to something.
This concentration of the cardinal fire sign of Mars is encouraging you to be stronger, brave and assertive. It is perfectly acceptable to being strong and outspoken, setting boundaries, setting limits, standing in your power and being independent. That's the main point of all this energy. It's puncturing it.
Chiron, who is in conjunction with the Sun and Moon, is asking whether you have any scars or wounds related to your confidence that you need to confront and heal.
Additionally, there are planets on the angles with this New Moon. When we have a lunation with planets sitting on the angles, it's similar to highlighting a specific period of time. It is warning us that significant action will be taken, ideally in the direction of breakthroughs and resolutions.
The key is to handle all of this Aries Mars energy as effectively as we can, as we move through April. Be brave, strong and powerful so you avoid getting sucked into the background news and other people's annoyance, frustrations, anger and rage.
