April 18/19 is the New Moon in Aries, writes Kim Falconer from her 11th House Blog when it will be all systems go…
Until then, chill with dark moon. You know the drill! Self-nourish, quiet reflection, release anxiety through mediation, dance, yoga, the sea, nature, gardening, martial arts, animal familiars and note down intentions to state aloud on the new moon.
Aries is all about taking action and pushing forward. Where do you want to advance with your life? Rev up your excitement? Check out the house with 28 degrees of Aries and light a fire there! *reference for all 12 houses below*
This New Moon forms no major aspects to any other planets; the emphasis is very much on bringing your yin and yang, your anima and animus, into alignment and moving into a NEW phase of your life. The minor, 40 degree novile aspect to Venus adds charm, curiosity and grace to whatever you focus on.
Note also, this Sagittarius decanate of Aries – robust, independent, feisty and commanding. A basic ‘don’t fence me in’ attitude applies! Ask where you want to EXPAND your life!
