28th March 2017 New Moon in Aries, 1st April Mercury enters Taurus

Hi everyone!  Wow!  
What a week, what a time we’re in and a big week to come!


Travelling under the Aries Sun we’re being called to negotiate a few dark clouds with the fiery flames of our inner light!
What's been happening:
We came through the Equinox doorway right into the energies of a challenge to raise our consciousness to a whole new level of being, thanks to the connections between Mercury, Pluto and Jupiter from 23rd to 26th March.

Nervous systems stretched and minds releasing doubt and anxiety:
As we move towards the energies of the New Moon, Mercury is making his connection to Uranus triggering a whole reboot and upgrade to our mental operating system which may be has us shaking in your boots.
 
Negotiating the tensions:  Getting fired in the Astroboy boots!
Remember those boots of Astroboy firing and ready for action?  Time to put them on and access the strength, courage and will power.  I will to will they will!

Eris and Uranus rattling the ‘cages’ of comfort!
With Eris, the feminine 'partner' to radical Uranus still travelling with him on the same degree, 23 degrees Aries right into the New Moon energy on 28th, we’re guaranteed to feel unsettled, disturbed and shaken with anything that is holding us back from new directions and growth. 

Get out the boots!  Where are the Doc Martin’s?  Grounding the nervous tensions!

Eris is a feisty force that can bring forth suppressed emotions as the wrath of the Goddess, creating chaos and confusion.  Nancy Sinatra's old hit 'These boots are made for walking' may just be the therapeutic energy we are all needing to blast our way out of any ‘nervous Nellie’ energies.  This fire energy is a 'boots and all' energy which is demanding all our willpower and faith to blast through the ceiling of the old paradigm.  

As Mercury connects to Uranus and Eris all in Aries from 26th to 29th March, we may feel we can’t breathe, can’t get our breath as the sheer magnitude of old energies rise up for resolution and release from within. 
The nervous and respiratory systems are still being challenged with these energies. Let's remember that the nervous system runs throughout our whole body and is likely to impact anything from the digestive system to the skin to the breathing.

Of course Pluto in Capricorn is a major player in this primal release from within and without working with Jupiter in Libra to bring karmic justice, completion and resolution to our battered spirits.


27th March:  
Mercury enters shadow retrograde at  24 degrees 15 Aries
Until 10th April when it retrogrades
Shadow retrograde time is our indicator that whatever happens with respect to Mercury’s areas of interest will be revisited from 4th May when Mercury returns to this degree on the forward journey. 
This doesn’t mean we have to down pens and thinking while we wait for this time to be over.  Rather, it calls us to move forward with any plans, communications, thinking with respect to social and business networking as well as travel plans. 
Mercury is our mind manager and therefore needs clarity to be making decisions. At this time with Venus being a major player in revamping our heart energy, we’re gaining clarity with our heart’s desire.  During this time we need to aligning heart and mind so we can make decisions which will access our heart’s desires...Aries brief! If it doesn’t excite you then think again. 
10th April:  Mercury stations retrograde at 4 degrees Taurus
21st April:  Mercury retrogrades into Aries
4th May:  Mercury stations direct at 24 degrees Aries
21st May:  Mercury leaves shadow


28th March:  New Moon in Aries at 7 degrees 37 Aries at 1.57 pm AEDT
A New Moon:  The power of the fiery ‘I am’ erupts!  It’s Team Aries!

A powerful message delivered at this New Moon in Aries.  It’s not just the beginning of the lunar Astrological year.  It’s a line up that’s guaranteed to push the starter button on our own personal rocket ship!  Our fuel is the spirit of fire!

Team Aries breaks us in to the New Year with plenty of rocket fuel!

With the New Moon and Sun aligned at 7 degrees Aries, Venus just a couple of degrees away as well as Mercury, Uranus and Eris all together in Aries, they’re guaranteed to ignite our fire, drive, passion and give us a huge boost to our sense of self, our confidence and courage!  Be of good faith and get onto your own personal rocket!


Guaranteed to take your breath away:  Mercury snuggling with Uranus/Eris!
Mercury is our mind manager, also ruler of our respiratory and nervous systems. 
He comes into connection with Uranus and Eris the day before the New Moon reconnecting and rewiring our mental systems to the higher consciousness of Uranus/Eris with a lightning strike kickstart to our electrical systems which promises to uplift consciousness to a whole new level.

Mercury’s role at the New Moon:  Big mind clearance and shift!
At the New Moon he’s moved on just 2 degrees past these two awakeners but is very much part of our New Moon, New lunar energies setting the pace for ongoing fiery, sudden and dramatic changes in relation to our thinking, mindsets and belief systems.


Aries fire:  Just get on and do it!  Adventure, excitement and the joy of new directions is taking us through the roof of old consciousness! Courage!
If we’re locked into a rut, we’re going to be shifted out of it and thrust into sudden changes in direction.  If our current direction is not feeding the fire and passion within then prepare for the realisation that life at present is not ‘enough’. Aries is the ruler of our fiery masculine energy which wants action and fast so whatever’s languishing within us is going to be released as our fire and drive takes hold of hearts and minds. 

Venus in Aries at the New Moon is a key player in the planetary line up:  
Up close and personal to the New Moon/Sun at 3 degrees Aries!
Talking of hearts, Venus our heart energy is on her trek through Aries in retrograde motion retrieving lost, disowned and fragmented pieces from our being.  If some part of you has been ignored when it is vital for your growth to wholeness then trust Venus to find it in her search and discovery mission.  In Aries, she will stop at nothing to help us find ourselves. 
Venus is definitely getting a prime role in this new moon energy being in such close proximity to the moon and sun at this time.  It’s heart opening time to let in the love, break down any walls of resistance that have been holding you back from the full experience of divine love for self first.  Being in Aries we’re very much focussed on recovering all of ourselves in the light of love, acceptance and forgiveness.


Other significant planetary energies at the New Moon:
Mars and Neptune in harmony...upliftment in consciousness of our physical body and masculine warrior energy!
Effective from 26th to 29th March:  Exact on 28th March
Mars, our masculine ruler and ruler of our physical body is speaking harmoniously with Neptune in Pisces, our higher spiritual consciousness.  Mars is our masculine warrior energy who traditionally has gone out to fight the world to be a winner.  

At present he is travelling through Taurus, on R & R from all the fired up energies.  Mind you, we have plenty of fired up energy without Mars in full fighting mode.  Taurus is Mother Earth energy, offering our physical bodies and fighting warrior some respite from the fray.  So, whatever fighting we’re experiencing we can put down to the mind/heart energies and to accepting who we are fully and completely.

Jupiter in square/challenge to Pluto at 19 degrees Libra/Capricorn:  Karmic justice, rebalancing, release of the burdens of the past!

The scales of karmic justice are working full time to release the karmic burdens we’ve taken on from the past, the traditions which are being released, revamped and renewed.  Our status quo continues to be challenged in the personal and global arenas.  We’re bringing forward the ‘best’ from the past which offers us a spiritually uplifted perspective whilst letting go those rules, laws, traditions and social mores which have past their use by date.  Everything which is holding us back must go. 


THE SABIAN SYMBOLS:
Breathtaking energies at the New Moon:  Sabian Symbol for the New Moon
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun/Moon meetings seems so appropriate for the New Moon energies with the breathtaking challenges and opportunities presenting as we release the threads of connection to those primal deep seated energies which have held us in a ‘comfort’ zone of the old order.

Aries 8
A WOMAN'S HAT WITH STREAMERS BLOWN BY THE EAST WIND
Allow traditional wisdom to lead you to new and different solutions, but be wary of acting superficially. In deeper, spiritual messages you are afforded protection from the more disturbing elements of situations. Shifts of mind and attitude may happen as a result, indeed, they may need to happen. You may need to adjust continually to outside forces, but you have the ability to be adaptable, so hang onto your center and what anchors you and try not to get blown off-course. Attuning oneself through eastern philosophies. Protective guidance. Balloons and hot air ballooning. The winds of time and change. Being aware of shifts in the wind. 


1st April:  Mercury enters Taurus at 4.31 am AEDT
Time for some R & R for our mind energy!
Until 21st April when it retrogrades into Aries
Slowing mentally to smell the flowers, earth the mind!

Just after Mercury enters shadow retrograde and 2 days after we greet the New Moon in Aries, we find our fleet footed messenger is brought into a slower pace with his entry into earthy Taurus.  This feels like a welcome relief from all the radical fire energies of Aries which have been activating our mental bodies and nervous systems sometimes 24/7! 


Time for some R& R for our mental operating systems!

We’re still moving forward but at a more leisurely pace which will give us time to check our compass, life direction, take stock of our physical situation on earth with respect to the beauty and abundance offered by Mother Earth. 

Plug in to the heart of Mother Earth: 
Taurus is ruled by Venus and is very much about connecting our hearts into the heart of mother earth and opening to receive her gift of an abundant life.  Of course, we need to have reached a readiness to accept our entitlement to an abundant life and that’s all about self-love and the feeling of worthiness.  If we’ve done the spiritual growth with all the Aries energies, we are certainly coming into acceptance of divine reunion with ourselves and with our place on earth.

That’s it folks!
Hugs all around! 
We’re grabbing or have grabbed the tiger by the tail and the tiger is holding us with love...fears faced with courage, strength and absolute faith in the power of divine spirit which is filling us with the light of new consciousness!

The Aries Sun has been filling us with these energies along with Mercury, Venus and of course Uranus/Eris, all travelling through the sign of the warrior.  We’re transforming the fighting warrior of the past into the spiritual warrior who’s focus is the ‘battle’ with the self, releasing conflict from within for us to come to peace with ourselves and our lives and to trust ourselves fully and completely as divine spirit. 


Love and blessings to us all as we take the rainbow bridge to higher consciousness!
