Aries New Moon 2012

The two lights, sun and moon, conjoin again as usual, this time in the fiery sign Aries. When the 2 lights conjoin remember there is a strong impulsive thrust outward, a powerful energetic flow out from center (that center is in many different places in an infinite universe--in fact it's at your heart's core) that can be utilized as a possibility to accomplish intentions. What intentions??? Whatever you choose of course! Definitely realize????? Of course not...there simply exists a powerful opportunity and energy to access. I think of a wild stallion released into the wild after being boarded in one of those crates: That stallion is going to run wild, buck, zigzag, and, well, basically you just don't know where it's gonna go or what it's gonna do...but there sure is a lot of power, speed and energy...

Throw Aries into the equation along with Uranus and Mercury (even though it’s still retrograde) and the energy becomes enormous! Uranus and Mercury are both associated with communication and speed of communication. It's possible to think of Uranus as a hyperactive Mercury and Mercury can be pretty busy on its own. Keep in mind that this is part of the fire trinity, and the energy becomes impulsive, erratic, and possibly overwhelming.

Of course freedom comes with responsibility and we all have someone to answer to, necessarily so. I have said for some years now that I am so lucky for my mother…she saved my life so many times without ever knowing it! I was a bit of a wild man as a teen and into my early twenties but I could never go too far out of the simple fear of hurting my mother! Sure, there was some “guilt” conditioning there—she perfected Irish guilt—but I have to recognize that having her heartstrings to answer to kept me from doing something that most likely would have killed me. More on that another time.

So all of this Aires, Uranian, and New Moon energy must be channeled through something, this is an astrological relationship called rulership and Mars rules Aries, and Mars is still retrograde in Virgo. Virgo is thinker and retrograde turns energy inward so this makes for a harnessing effect of all that energy described above. Virgo is a lot like my mother come to think of it: EXTREMELY detail oriented, concerned for others, and very concerned about getting something right. This is not the type of energy that Mars usually entertains especially the retrograde nature of it BUT this is a powerful way to harness that chaotic, powerful energy and use it well.
