Astrology for Moons in Aries

Okay, finally getting the months ideas in order.  The new moon conjoined with the sun in Aries on March 21, so I'm not that late yet.  Aries is ruled by Mars and has that energy to bust through any impediments. It's a good time to be self motivated.  The new moon in Aries brings energy, enthusiasm and new beginnings, especially in the house where Aries sits on your chart.  Mine is in my first house of "self," so self improvement is my task for this month.

(If you want to know where Aries is for you, maybe contact my friend Forest: her website is  https://nuicobaltdesigns.com/ or use an online astrology software site.)

The first quarter moon moves from Gemini into Cancer, so square the Aries sun.  Moving from intellect to feeling and emotions, pay attention to emotions but the fiery energy of Mars can make those more intense, and we can get easily overcome.

The Full moon on April 6 is in Libra, bringing balance.  It can be easy to go full speed ahead into whatever the task is, and slay those dragons, but often a more moderate approach is necessary. Where can you find balance between your personal interests, identity, selfishness, assertiveness, or charging ahead and joint interests, relating, sharing, compromise, and maintaining balance?

Last quarter is on April 13, in Capricorn, where the energy is more down to earth and achievement oriented.  The friction is between the task set for yourself at the new moon and finishing it at all costs.  You can use that energy (goats have horns too!) to move ahead, but take care to do so in a constructive way.

Leo to Virgo Moon stuff

  Photo by Erik Karits: https://www.pexels.com/photo/landscape-nature-water-blue-17590944/ When I searched for free stock photos associated with "Virgo" I got many pictures of damselflies like the above. I have no idea why, but they are beautiful.... And apologies for the less than spiffy title :)  Anyway... So for this "moonth," we are holding on to Leo for JUST a little bit longer.  The New Moon in Leo on August 16. SUPER early in the morning. My phone app said it was today!  The New Moon in Leo focuses on self-expression, creativity, and leadership. As you set your intention for this moon, it may be good to meditate on the right use of your power and personal will.  If you know what house your moon falls in that can help. Mine is in the sixth house ALL month, focusing health and habits, routines, etc. and I am SORELY in need of working on that. First Quarter moon (August 24) has the sun finally moving into Virgo, and square the Moon in Sagittarius. The friction h

"I don't believe in Mercury Retrograde"

Photo by ZCH: https://www.pexels.com/photo/planet-mercury-in-full-shot-photography-12498795/ I know, people say that a lot...so... Okay firstly, retrograde is a real thing, astronomically.  You can find a more technical, but still accessible, explanation  here .  If you think about cars going around in several lanes of traffic, going the same speed and starting out parallel, eventually the the car in the shortest lane (usually the inside track) will get ahead of the car in the longer lane. It can  appear  then that as the first car passes the second, the second is actually going backwards.  If we think about planets in our solar system, they are all doing the same thing, and sometimes they pass each other. When Earth "passes" a planet during its orbit, that other planet is said to be retrograde.  Looking at them in the sky, the planet appears to move backward.    How often a planet becomes retrograde relative to Earth depends on not only its proximity to the Earth, but also

New Moon in Virgo, heading toward Balance (Libra)

  Photo by Alina Vilchenko: https://www.pexels.com/photo/food-people-party-winter-15574288/ "Libra-season" starts in the middle of this moonth, but we have to get ready for that with the New Moon in Virgo.   (I really like this photo I got from Pexels, and now I want to start staging my own....) We talked about Virgo last moonth, and so we can still continue on with that.  That detail oriented, planning energy is still here and it's a good thing to do at the new moon anyway (September 14), when we are setting our intentions.  This is especially true now as until a week or so again, we had SEVEN planets in retrograde (everyone BUT Mars).  Venus went direct on September 3, and Mercury goes directly TODAY (September 15) and the rest not for a while. Mercury also rules Virgo, so the fact that I am writing and posting this the day AFTER the New Moon is probably just a coincidence. Anyway... so for this New Moon in Virgo, take extra  care with your plans and make sure Is are d
