Moon in Aries
Tuesday, August 24, 2021
Today the Moon will move into Aries! This is a Birthing type of energy! You may feel the energy of wanting to assert something new in your life. A separation of some sort, from a way of being that you just feel "done with". See if you can feel the shift in your day. You may experience it as wanting to be alone, or pioneering something in a different way than you have before. Maybe you’ll feel it as frustration, or excitement. Pay attention and write down a timeframe when this happens for you and the circumstance.
You will eventually be tracking these movements in your own chart, but for now, lets take things one step at a time! Feel into these energies and pay attention first. Get the validation AFTER.
Aries is considered the first sign of the Zodiac because it is the constellation that is rising on the east at sunrise, starting at the spring equinox. This signals, for the northern hemisphere, the arrival of new life springing from the cold barren winter.
In this week’s video (coming later this week) I will give an overview of how to orient to your natal chart to discover where in your life this energy of Aries lights you up, but for today, just see if you can feel the energy in your life.
Think of Aries this way: A seed has been waiting, gestating, underground, for just the right conditions to begin its PUSH out of the seed pod, through the black earth, and out into the world for the first time. A mother is in labor after 9 months of growing her child in her womb, till the right time signaled by the fetus, to begin PUSHING through CONTRACTIONS of her uterus, to get her baby earth side. This energy is FIREY. The initiative to go for it, and begin a new life or cycle is called CARDINAL.
I’ll share the time that the moon officially enters Aries in tomorrows writing. Today just feel the ingress and observe it in your life. Share your observations in the comments section if you wish.

Did you feel the energy shift yesterday? It happened at about noon Pacific time. What were you experiencing at that time?
Today around Noon, the moon will continue through Aries and come to a conjunction (an exact alignment) with a planetary body called Chiron. We will go far more in to depth about all of the archetypal significance of Chiron in future videos, but for today, you may sense an opportunity for some emotional healing.
A vulnerability or pain may have a chance to be felt or expressed at this time. Be aware that if you feel an emotional jab, or if someone in your world is expressing a byproduct of emotional pain, such as anger, shutting down, being short, crying, maybe even binge eating, there is an energy present asking us to hold this energy gently, and allow it to be.
This conjunction is opposite Venus today as well. Venus is the planet of receptivity, the feminine principal, our ability to feel. She is holding space in Libra exactly opposite this Moon Chiron conjunction.
Today, hold space for your wounds, your pain, your healing. Be tender with yourself and others. Have compassion and softness for the feminine principal within you and in others. Recognize that we are all human, and we all feel.

Today is the last day of Virgo season! The sun is at 29 degrees! Tomorrow it will move to zero degrees Libra and we will have our equinox moving to the darker half of the year.
The moon has moved into Aries now as well. We have a brand new opportunity to intend a new directive for our lives with this transit.
As the last day of Virgo, and the first day of a moon cycle, today is a perfect day to see who you have become, and how this version of you will now be interacting in relationship to others.
If you could create your most congruent, authentic and fulfilling relationship, by being totally yourself, what would that feel like? What would you do more of? What would you do less of?
Everything is relationship. So answering this question for ourselves could spark many new insights.

Did you feel the energy shift at all yesterday? Maybe drop a bit? There is an aspect between Mercury and Pluto that may feel a bit heavy. Pluto asks us to kill off any pretense, any BS, any small talk when its in square to Mercury and this square will be with us for an extended amount of time due to the slowness that Pluto is moving as it is preparing to station and turn direct I October, while Mercury, usually pretty quick and agile, is slowing preparing to retrograde this weekend.
This aspect could feel like a long slow grinding conversation that asks us to be super honest and real with what we truly and deeply believe.
Interesting that we have this dynamic as the new Arrow of Manifestation with the Moon in Aries is being drawn, and at the same time, the Sun enters CARDINAL Air sign Libra, which is the sign we draw a huge new arrow back for the coming quarter.
Half dark and half light days: just like us. We are made of dark and light. We have things that are conscious to us and unconscious.
October’s Astrology can feel intense this year. Many of the slower planets will begin to move through our collective again to create and demo our reality in relationship to WHO WE HAVE BECOME. This moment before the shift is very important. There is a reason these archetypes give us pressure and constriction, or the impetus to persevere.
Today, give yourself the patient space to truly listen to your truth. Let yourself be bold enough to listen.
