New Moon in Aries — Charting a bold new course in love and creative expression!

The New Moon in brave Aries hooks up with a feisty Venus before charging into the bold Sun at 9:57 p.m. central time on March 27, 2017. Venus in Aries, close to the New Moon, can mark a time of beginnings in love, money or creative self-expression. Aries brings courage, impatience, and possibly reckless energy to anything we initiate at this time. Mercury, Eris and Uranus forming a close stellium in Aries can bring unexpected messages, new ways of thinking, or innovative beginnings involving technology and communication. Saturn in Sagittarius forms a supportive aspect to the Mercury/Uranus/Eris conjunction. Thinking or communicating “outside the box” may bring lasting results to new projects. With all these planets in the sign of the adventurous warrior, we are anxious to “get the show on the road” and chart a new path.

Mars in Taurus sends friendly nods to Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn. We are energized to get off the couch in pursuit of a dream, one that will transform our earning ability, career path or status in the world.

Generous Jupiter ramping up our inner rebel from his opposing position in Libra can increase our desire to “blurt out” a few truths without thinking. Yet, he can bring abundance and harmony to relationships if we are willing to tame our restless energy, resisting the urge to go to extremes in speech or action. Diplomacy and courtesy will go a long way in getting our radical ideas accepted by others. Jupiter in tense aspect to Pluto in Capricorn can bring manipulation and power struggles with authority figures in a career situation. The time may be ripe for change, but the old guard is holding on for dear life. If career stress gets intense at this new moon, the answer may lie in enjoying the comforts of home as we retreat with loved ones to recharge and nurture ourselves.
