“The dharma of the sun is to illuminate and bring warmth. It illuminates and brings warmth to everyone equally without discriminating.” ~Sri Prem Baba
The Sun’s movement into 0° Aries (the Spring Equinox) marked the seasonal and Astrological New Year – and the official end of winter. Now that the Sun has crossed over the celestial equator and headed towards the Northern Hemisphere our days will continue to be longer and warmer.
Because this month’s New Moon coincides with the Astrological New Year there are two “new cycles” occurring simultaneously. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is known for its independent, impulsive, and strategizing warrior nature. It thrives when it is initiating brand new cycles of adventure and self-discovery and can become easily enraged when its freedom nature and unfulfilled desires are thwarted.
Freedom is given even more emphasis under this lunation due to its alignment with the electrical, rebellious, and revolutionary planet of change, Uranus – frequently referred to as “the Great Awakener.” With the Sun, Moon, and Uranus all in Aries, you are encouraged to seek the freedom to explore unexpressed aspects of yourself. A futuristic electric charge of change is in the air.
Intend new and exciting visions for your future. Rebel against self-doubt, denial, or other feelings and behavior that keep you from your true nature. Relinquish that which does not bring liberation to yourself and all sentient beings. Embark on and discover your very own brand-new frontiers!
Aries New Moon Key Words: Initiation, Self-Discovery, Independence, Freedom, Exploration and Adventure, Instinctual Desires, Brand New Cycle.
