Hi, hope you're well. Wanted to discuss this Friday's full, not full Moon, new Moon in Aries. Uh, I'm just looking at the chart for it. It's a. It's insane the level of, uh, planets and energy and focus in Aries right now. On Friday when we have this new moon, uh, in Australia, it's Friday night, um, just after 9:20 PM. Australian Eastern standard time, we'll have the sun and moon conjunct at 27 degrees of Aries. There are also conjunct Chiron at 26 degrees. Need to tell you about that. And then at the same time in Aries this week, we have Neptune, mercury, Mars, and Satin. So overall that's. Seven planetary bodies hanging out in this warrior archetype. I kind of wanna break it down for you a little bit. I may have discussed this in the past, but here we are. It's, it's worth the refresher. Uh, I think. Well, there's two expressions of Mars, which is the ruler of Aries, and so it's very much related to the archetype of Aries. And I want to, I wanna get into them with you. So on the first hand we have S or a RES, which was the Greek, AKA, the original version who was loved by the people of Greece. Honored, uh, you know, there were many offerings to ez. He was a war hero and a strategist. And that's a very key point, which I'm gonna come back to. This is a military strategist. Then we have the Roman version Mars. Uh, the Roman counterpart who was blood thirsty. And utilized fear. He was power hungry and filled with rage and held in very low esteem by the Romans. Uh, I was just refreshing my memory on this. Uh, he would ride into battle on his chariot with panic and fear, uh, paver and power. Which is creepy. And he was once caught by mortals and bottled, which I think is where this idea of bottled rage comes from. So on one hand we have a revered, uh, hero. And then on the other hand we have somebody who is brash. Uh. Filled with blood lust and uncon, containable has not contained their fury, their energy, their anger, their fire, and utilizes fear, uh, and panic as a strategy. Where, where have we seen this recently? I mean, the last many, several years. Really? Um, it's kind of wild. Something that I sort of keep mentioning in astrology school, uh, to all the legends in there is just, it's like this feeling, it's like blood lut. You can see it's, it's such a creepy, it's such an old world thing to even mention blood lost. Like even it's wild that the playbook. With the ancient Romans was to ride into battle with, to utilize fear and panic as a, as a, as a, not a technique, but as a part of the playbook. Something that we just see and, and experience so frequently now. Um, and yeah, it's wild to, to even. Conjure up a term like blood lut now it feels so ancient and yet you can really see it at play. Uh, and if we think about ez, the Greek version, he was a strategist, um, was let's say battle weary had. Had experiential, uh, learning in this territory. Um, I was reading something during the week and it, and it was just on social media, so who knows if it's true, but, uh, apparently they might be bringing back the, the draft in America, or maybe they've always had it. I'm not sure. Sorry. But, uh, the current president avoided the draft five times, but is the one who's bringing it back that is not res. That is not somebody who is battle weary, uh, and who would much prefer to utilize, um, strategy negotiation diplomacy versus its opponent. So it's so interesting that all of this is happening as Saturn and Neptune enter this sign. Um, and while. That's what's happening on a, on a grander stage. I'd much rather focus on how we can utilize this new moon personally. Uh, because I just, yeah, my sense is always that if we're right with ourselves, then we will be very effective. Um, within our communities. Uh, within our families. So part of what's very, I mean, it's gonna be an interesting week. I, I would say especially because the New Moon is conjunct, Chiron, the wound of Aries. Uh, so let's just talk about that first. What is the wound of Aries? Um. It will be different for, for each of us, but Aries is a lot to do with a visceral understanding or connection to our own wants, needs and desires, and then the ability to take action towards those things. So if, if somebody has Chiron here. And we'll all be experiencing this this week because our sun consciousness will be illuminating this energy all week. And then our moon towards the end of the week will be illuminating the shadow qualities of this. Uh, we could say that it is. Where somebody does not have that connection to their wants, needs and desires, and then is not able to take action, is not being self-directed. Another way we could look at this energy is. They have the less conscious versions of this archetype, which is taking lots of short term action, but never walking a longer path. There's, there's no strategy, just impulse or there's no strategy. There's just there short burning up of a desire. Which is then replaced by the next thing we are desirous of and the next thing that we're desirous of. Um, so it's like the attention span is minute and the direction of the, there's no, uh, mastery. Of Aries. Aries is wildly impulsive and it matures into very intentional use of its sizable willpower. The immature expression of that is, is wielding a very strong wielded power. Uh, wield power is wielding a very strong willpower with no care. For who it smashes because it's so self-interested. You know, uh, part of the evolutionary experience of an Aries is to make friends with or to build the awareness that other people exist. You know, it's not just me, myself and I, it's not just my own self-interest. And, you know, I read for a lot of very wonderfully, highly sensitive people who've learned to read the room first. And so for a lot of us, we need to learn Aries. Uh, but we can see it in, its in its opposite too, where it's like when, when somebody is, has no awareness of. The room. Um, and there's like, there's pros and cons to that, you know? Yeah. So it's got, yeah. It, it's going to be a juicy week. What, what you, what I think you, you'll be able to, to utilize with this energy as we enter this new moon on Friday and spend the weekend in this territory is. Is there anywhere where there's this sort of injury in terms of me having this awareness of my own wants, needs and desires, or feeling safe to action them? Where am I being intentional towards what am I being intentional? How am I utilizing my willpower? What, what can I take, uh, action towards this weekend? You know, and, and, and that could be symbolic, you know, for the, for those of us who, where our children are on school holidays right now, there might not be, um, massive stretches of time available. Uh, and that's fine. Like it can be a symbolic action, but we really wanna be aware of. We want, uh, we always wanna be self-aware, um, but we really wanna have a sense of where am I putting my energy? There's so much focus on Aries right now. There's, there's seven planetary bodies here. You know, one's a moon, one's an asteroid, and the rest are planets or one's a sun. Um, we want like. WH we can utilize this energy. Where does Aries fall in your chart? What house is it in and how, how can you take action in that area? Action being an Aries word. How can you take a action in that area of your life while all of this juice is here? What have you started this year? What are you working towards? And, and again, like how are you taking action? Is it in, in fits and starts? Or is there a strategy? Are you utilizing SAT's, attorney and energy here, which is the long game, which is the mastery over time? Um, yeah. I just also want to, and I'll, I'll, I'll do a whole episode on this, but I also wanna point your direction. Towards the end of this month because on the 30th of April when we will be in tourist season, uh, Uranus will move into Gemini and that's going to be incredibly fast cerebral energy. Uh, yeah. It, it's gonna be, it's gonna be so interesting. I'm really, I'm really into it, but I can see, I can kind of see it how it's in play already in the sense of it's getting harder and harder to discern what is true on, in terms of like information that we take in on the internet and what is false. There's, it's getting harder. Uh, and so one thing that I would just suggest while we have so much energy in Aries this weekend and next, um, is, and especially with the sun and the moon there in Aries, that's, that is instinct. Test your instincts this week, or, or, no, don't test them. Observe your instincts this week. As soon as you meet somebody, what's your body's instinct? What's, as soon as you take in a piece of information, give yourself the space to notice what your body is doing. Like what, where is your, where are your instincts? Where are they located? Is it in the gut or is it a feeling that's higher up in your chest? Like locate your instincts this week. Um, that would be my astrological prescription. And then just take note in, in this week because the sun will be in a conjunction to Chiron for all of this week. Is there anything coming up there around I can't have what I want. That's a very Chiron in Aries thing. Um, yeah. I hope you have a great week.
