Embrace this time of the month as our emotions welcome all anew. When our New Moon embarks in the driving energies of Aries -the sign that consciously aims for leadership- the collective is ready to really take on a fearless approach. Fire is Aries elemental influence, so something igniting is definitely meant to spark- as our Moon starts once more at the very beginning of the Zodiac wheel in alignment with our Sun.

Aries energy must beware of restless, challenging, militant, and disobedient forces that may arise. When self-willed energies are around, it is easy to gravitate to unbalanced, aggressive, and hasty tendencies. While a strong sense of individuality and assertiveness mark any Aries passage, it is the cultivation of moderation, patience, forethought, and humility are wise to adhere to.

Be sure to check the Aries House, in particular the 24-degree Aries spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a new energy is ideally meant to unfold. This is the area of life that requests an initiation in the next two weeks to follow. Seeds that you plant in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next Full Moon upon 28 April are bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road.

However, keep the following in the back of your astrological thinking cap. This New Moon period no sooner starts as we enter the second Mercury Retrograde Period of 2010 upon 18 April. So, amidst those RE’s during Mercury’s offering for REflection, be in the awareness of what may begin anew will see a regrouping after Mercury return to Direct Motion upon 11 May. More to come on Mercury’s backward “tricks” by the 18th!

For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice. Always remember, it is full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you.
