The Sun and Moon will combine energy at 9.51 pm  for the Aries New Moon at 27 degrees and 28’ of the sign, the Sabian symbol for this 28th degree of Aries is “A large audience confronts the performer who disappointed its expectations” demonstrating the necessity for mature preparation and  self-criticism  a sense of responsibility! The third decan of Aries is ruled by Venus and about “Perfected Work”, as illustrated in the 4 of Wands Tarot Card!

Mercury will have moved into Aries on April 15 making a stellium with Neptune, Mars and Saturn and a total of six planetary bodies in the sign including the Sun and Chiron! Early on the following day the Moon will have joined them, making 7 bodies! This is a very fiery and active energy when you will feel driven to move towards what makes sense to your action directed thinking processes.The Sun will have moved to conjunct Chiron the Wounded Healer early on April 17 which could have led you to experience  difficulty in self-confidence or expressing yourself in whichever house of your astrology that it was transiting through. Mercury will have made an exact conjunction to Neptune around midday on April 17 enabling you to express yourself with great subtlety, enabling your ideas and feelings to be successfully communicated, especially through artistic creations. You are likely to be drawn to study the mysteries, and your imagination will be enhanced. You may lack the courage to express your true feelings to others however.

At the time of the lunation the luminaries will be applying in a 2 degree conjunction with minor planetary bodies, Ariadne (Mistress of the Cretan Labyrinth), Salacia (Queen of the Sea) and Psyche (Wife of Eros), which have elements of assistance and resolution, but it doesn’t look terribly effective. Uranus will be making a helpful sextile to the Nodal Axis, which could provide some support. .

With the Sun and Moon coming together in the sign of Aries, the energy focus is as always on:

  • Starting new initiatives or projects, having new ideas
  • Putting yourself first, only getting involved in activity which benefit you personally
  • Taking the lead, guiding other people
  • Being active, getting involved in competition or competitive sport as an individual
  • Going with the flow, letting other people take the lead
  • Taking risks and trying to exceed your personal best performances
  • Being independent and decisive

The area most aligned with the position of the New Moon can be best gleaned from your natal horoscope chart, however if you only know your Sun Sign, then affirmations around the areas indicated on the next page are likely to be the most powerful, but some adjustment may be required to the life areas below:
