This week we have an Aries new moon occurring on April 19 2015 at 6.58am. This new moon is happening at 28 degrees of Aries. A new moon occurs when the moon aligns exactly with the sun, igniting us with a burst of new energy. If you want to know where this is happening in your chart look to the house Aries rules. Aries energy has to do with being courageous, initiating new ideas, using our creativity and passion. It gives us a chance to express ourselves and try something new. It also makes us act more impulsively and want things to happen immediately. This new moon is wanting us to open up and listen to our strong gut instincts. It will bring in strong energizing energy so it is a great time to exercise and release energy and to also exert this fire energy into something creative. Mars being the ruler of Aries is currently sitting in Taurus at the time of this new moon. This is adding to the story of wanting us to assert our energy into something tangible and something that will be of long term sustainability and of value. Mars sitting here in an earth sign means we need to patiently be persistent in our projects as results will manifest after slow steady work.
