The New Moon
A New Moon occurs when both the Sun and the Moon simultaneously occupy the same degree of the same sign in the zodiac. As you can see from the above chart, the Sun and Moon both occupy 15 degrees Aries at 1:50 am on 4/5/2019 making this a new moon.
The Moon Represents What is Happening
Occurring approximately once every 28 1/2 days, new moons denote the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new cycle. New Moons are a great time to initiate any kind of change or to begin attracting anything that is needed or wanted. Due to the fact that the moon is associated with our emotions, this is often seen as a new emotional cycle.
Some keywords associated with the moon include, but are not limited to, the following: emotions, feelings, family, change, instincts, reflection, imagination, subconscious, or nurturing.
Aries Describes How it is Happening
The Astrological Sign in which the New Moon occurs can indicate how this emotional renewal may express itself. Some keywords associated with Aries include, but are not limited to, the following: assertive, strong, initiative, energy, impatient, headstrong, adventurous, fearless, leader, pioneer, eager, and enthusiastic.
The New Moon in Aries
A good way to better understand the Moon in Aries is to put these keywords side by side and blend them together. For example
The Moon Aries
childhood assertive
cycles strong
emotions initiative
feelings energy
habits impatient
change headstrong
instincts adventurous
passive fearless
reflection leader
subconscious pioneer
imagination eager
nurturing enthusiastic
When the Moon is in Aries people are generally more courageous, assertive, and imaginative. They can be forceful and rely on themselves more than usual (perhaps too much). However, they can be more argumentative as well and so butt heads with others if they are not able to keep their cool (Aries is a fire sign that rules the head so the term hot-headed applies here).
The House is Where it Happens
The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Aries to play out. Since the April New Moon occurs in 15 degrees Aries, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 15 degrees Aries occurs.
If Aries if also your natal 11th house, this would be your annual wishing moon. I'll write about this more in a separate blog post.
The Twelve Houses of Life
- The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings.
- Money and material matters. Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem.
- Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events.
- Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
- Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance.
- Health and service to others. Your routine, diet, exercise and helpfulness to others.
- Marriage, partnerships, and relationships of all kinds. Contracts, business deals, etc...
- Birth, death, sex, other people's money and property.
- Expansion, the higher mind, foreign matters (languages, cultures, travel) luck, adventure, risk, philosophy, ethics and morals.
- The public, fame, honors, reputation, awards, boundaries, rules, discipline, authority, the father.
- Groups of people such as friends and associations, networking, social justice. Originality, sudden unexpected events, invention, surprises, and all things futuristic.
- Endings. Completion, tying up loose ends, old age, karma, making amends, and the afterlife. Imagination, creativity, poetry, and the subconscious mind.
A Practical Example
New Moon in Aries and the 6th House
With the Moon (I feel) in Aries (assertive) and the 6th House (health and work) ruled by Virgo (I analyze), you may be feeling more critical at this time and see problems everywhere. Problems that need to be corrected. You want to get more organized in your work, streamline your processes, and make your self as efficient as possible. If you are not able to make these changes at work, this may also be a good time to look for a new job that is more in harmony with the way you like to work. This is also a good time to change or refine your diet or exercise routine.
A Deeper Look
You can get a good idea of how the New Moon in Aries will affect you with this simple technique. However, if you wish to go deeper, then, in addition to the Moon Sign and Natal House you may also wish to look at any aspects the New Moon is making to other planets at the time of the New Moon as well as any aspects the New Moon is making to your natal placements.
Nonetheless, this is another subject entirely and will be the addressed in a future blog post. It is important to remember though that the aspects the New Moon make to the other planets at the time of the New Moon will affect everyone, while the aspects the New Moon is making to your Natal placements will apply only to you.
Where is 15 degrees Aries in your chart? How will the New Moon in Aries manifest for you?
