This New Moon in Aries & the Sun (at a New Moon both luminaries are together) conjunct an outgoing Uranus in Aries. Wow, talk about a new beginning; maybe even some drastic ‘me too’ energy. Where many decide to blaze their own trail and start off on something new. Whatever it is it will be all about ‘me’ not ‘we’. Ha Ha! I envision all those many Spring flowers popping up out of the ground determined to show themselves. This aspect encourages rash behavior and Uranus can make the nervous system very activated increasing emotional outbursts. At the same time the North Nodes of the Moon still in Leo are activated by the Mercury making us think we ‘need’ to do something now to get on the path you want to be on. Some, may do this; it will just feel right. Announcements of same will ensue. More relationships/partnerships may end too. Folks want to have the freedom to express who they authentically are, and reluctance will be a thing of the past. Always be respectful of others is my only comment.
This squares Pluto (which goes retrograde on 23rd of April) widely and this may add a dab of drama to your day. Mercury goes direct on the 15th of April is also in Aries widely conjunct Chiron which is at it’s final, final, degree of Pisces before heading itself into Aries on the 17th of April. Chiron in Aries speaks to individualized or personalized medicine and suggests new paths of pioneering ways to heal ourselves. After this point we have a continuous stream of retrograde energy whether it is personal or outer planets. Lots of time to contemplate, rethink, revised and perhaps even regain ground.
Venus in Taurus trines Mars and is opposite Jupiter but trine Pluto. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! We want to feel good inside, outside and with everything surrounding us. A meal is viewed as a feast of the best food and drink money can buy. A tactile activity like a massage is just what the doctor ordered!
Mars in Capricorn sextiles Neptune; putting energy and effort to making your dreams come true. Opportunities for your dreams to come true. Your dreams being very vivid and instructive.
Chiron will enter Aries on the 17th of April heralding a time in medicine and healing for personalized medicine and new ways of treating and healing people. Aries rules cutting into the body as in an operation…new ways of entering the body to heal may reveal themselves during Chiron’s sojourn in Aries. Aries also rules the head; perhaps breakthroughs in the treatment of head injury.
Mars conjuncts Pluto, now retrograde on the 26th of April. Picture a nuclear explosion…ha ha! This is high octane energy (Mars) meeting with deep power (Pluto). The positive way to use this is to use your energy to transform your life, especially the structures, goals, things that need a ‘remodel’. It could, for some, be a time of ‘boom’ you start your life over and it feels good and feels right. Pulling power plays on others will backfire; karma (Saturn/Pluto) will eventually come back to bite you. These may play out in our political world with one opponent yelling: Checkmate!
Jupiter sextiles Pluto all during 2nd week of April. Opportunities to speak your truth and pursue your truth. Saturn teaming up with Pluto and Mars also in Capricorn will go retrograde on the 18th of April. This may be a time of testing out new structures, goals, relationships in our life. See what house (area of your life) Capricorn resides in your natal chart. It is this area of your life that is asking you to step into your truth…rewards follow for those in doubt!! This may be a time to ‘take time’…that’s Saturn again to plan and set the scaffolding of where you go next.

Using thought, one may eventually see things overlooked that may be of benefit. To me this speaks to the Mercury retrograde now going direct in Aries on the 15th of April. Mercury will not be out of its shadow till early May so many of us may ‘wake’ up at this New Moon, courtesy of Uranus at the final degrees of Aries and realize something important, previously overlooked. This may manifest more concretely once Mercury comes out of its shadow period early May.
