7th April 2016 New Moon in Aries

Today's super New Moon is in Aries at 18 degrees. New Moons are considered to be a positive time to set new intentions or to implement something. Obviously it doesn't mean do something just for the sake of it but with the Sun, Venus and Uranus also in Aries it could be a good time to embrace Aries optimistic, pioneering, go getting energy. A sense of excitement or anticipation or a desire for change or action, may be in the air for some people as Uranus is conjunct (close to) the New Moon. Uranus is about shaking things up and Aries doesn't sit on his laurels. Itchy feet, a desire for independence and breaking from the past are other possible influences some people may experience especially as Chiron is still conjunct the past South Node in Pisces. So some people may feel ready to forge ahead, break free from past wounds and to be emotionally honest. If anyone is going to take action it's probably wiser to get things moving before Mars turns Retrograde on 17th April and Mercury turns Retrograde on April 28th. If you can put important events on hold till July onwards, even better but sometimes in life you can't so don't worry just know you may need more gusto or elbow grease to get things moving and just leave more time for delays etc like always with Merc Ret periods. This New Moon may feel exciting for some but unsettling for others as Pluto is square this New Moon in Aries conjunct Uranus. Unexpected upheavals could arise or change being forced upon us. Try to go with the flow, as best you can and know things will feel slower and there will be more time to digest events with the soon to be inner planet retrogrades.

Total Lunar Eclipse Libra - 4th April 2015

Total Lunar Eclipse this weekend (4th April) is a potent Full Moon in the air sign of Libra, conjunct the natal North Node. What could this all mean? Generally as with all Full Moons, four days before and four days after heightened sensitivity, elevated or extreme emotions and restlessness are common. A sense of anticipation may be in the air. Full Moons always occur when the Sun is in opposition to the Moon so this Aries/Libra pull may bring issues of Aries ('I' or independence) versus Libra ('You' or relating to others). Indecisiveness may be stronger for many over the next several days. Full Moons can be a culmination or time of endings. This doesn't mean it's negative though as it can help clear a situation and make space for the new. As always it really depends which house this Lunar eclipse may be passing through as to which area of life may be effected. Anyone with personal or outer planets at around 14/15 degrees in Aries,Libra, Cancer or Capricorn may experience this or if you have outer planets in contact with this Moon as another example. As this Full Moon is in opposition also to Uranus (& Uranus is square Pluto) unexpected surprises, intense feelings, or something breaking or ending is possible. Mood swings are possible too with this Full Moon in opposition to Uranus. Take care not to do something impulsively that you could regret several days later. An action, decision or situation may need to be acknowledged to re balance life (as in Libra) Venus in Taurus in positive trine to Pluto in Capricorn will help clearing anything that has to be addressed (great aspect for gardening too!) Mercury conjunct the South Node (past) can assist changing the way we think. Some people may find what you once knew or thought, no longer applies. The Total Lunar Eclipse is not to be feared, it can be extremely emotional yes but it can purge and cleanse too. Wishing everyone a good Bank Hol weekend!
