Aries New Moon - April 17, 2007
It's springtime in Brooklyn, and the cherry blossoms are blooming. As we Northern Hemispherians come out of winter and witness the beginnings of new life, it is natural to think about making a frest start. In the cold, we withdraw into our cocoons, dip into reserves, and conserve our energies to keep warm. When the weather heats up, it's time to come out.But what direction do you take? Do you want to jumpstart your dating life? Take the next step in your career? Upgrade your house? At the Aries New Moon, we all feel the need to take initiative, but our natal charts show us how and where we take that important first step.
The New Moon always falls in a house in your chart, an area of experience such as work, home, marriage, health and so on. The house where Aries sits on the cusp is where we naturally have a go-to-it attitude, jumping in without worrying about consequences -- a place where we feel impulsive and pioneering. This part of your life may feel dormant until a planet transits the house, or your natal Mars (the ruler of Aries) is stimulated by transit or progression.
During the Aries New Moon, this part of your life comes alive -- you are meant to plant the seeds of a new project related to the concerns of the house where the transiting Sun and Moon fall. Additionally, if any planets or angles (like the Ascendant or Midheaven) are near 27 degrees -- especially of cardinal signs like Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn -- the impulses of that planet (as well as the house it inhabits) will also receive a burst of energy, an incitement to bloom.
To use myself as an example: I have natal Mars at 29 Aries in the 9th house. Aries is on the cusp of my 9th house, so it is also ruled by Mars. This Aries New Moon stimulates a desire to aggressively (Mars) promote myself (9th), or take action (Mars) to publish (9th house). With this placement I'm already inclined to do these things, but the Aries New Moon provides the kick in the pants needed to motivate myself.

In the 10th house of career.
In the 8th house - conjunct Mars.. What does that indicate?
Miatilda,
This one will be powerful because the New Moon will conjoin its ruler. The 8th is about sex, transformation, shared resources (emotional, financial), occult matters. You might aggressively invest your money, or initiate love-making, or get in touch with your anger in psychotherapy (for example).
My Descendant is 28 Aries. My girlfriend is an Aries so her Sun/Mars fall on my Descendant too. What effect would the New Moon have on all this?
Mine is also in the 8th house and opposes natal Jupiter. Does the opposition trigger anything?
Thanks.
seems like this moon is affecting lots of mars! i have mars at 27 degrees aries 9th house too, i hope this brings in energy to travel.
It will be my personal new moon, in the second house, conjunct my natal Venus and triggering my T-square (Venus opposition Moon, squaring Saturn). We way I see it, it is time to build new concepts, ideas and values about how to make money in a manner that is more aligned with my emotional needs.
Jan,
Oppositions often manifest in the realm of relationships. A Jupiterian figure (teacher, guru, lawyer). Could it be about taxes, falling in your 8th and opposing Jupiter in the 2nd (financial opportunities)?
Hello, thank you for your website. I read here often.
I am just starting to learn, so I am going to give this a try.
According to my natal chart, the moon is in my 11th house (toward the "end" of the 11th house, near the twelvth, and Mercury is also very near the "end" of my 11th house.)
In the "first half" of my natal eleventh house are: Mercury (it's exactly on the line between Pisces and Aries), Chiron, Sun, Saturn. There are several sharp angles and corners here with: 5th house natal Uranus, Pluto and Mars; 6th house natal Neptune; 12th house natal Jupitor.
And what really is getting my attention as I look at my natal/transit chart, is that I have my natal moon at 24 Aries in my twelvth house (at the "beginning" of my twelvth house). Jupitor is the only planet natal in my 12th, it's toward the "end".)
Any comments very apppreciated! Thank you very much.
Thanks for replying, Jeffrey.
My taxes have been a cause for concern this year. This is the first year that I owe for both federal and state. I usually get a refund and to suddenly owe (and owe big) has given me some sleepless nights and induced migraine attacks.
Owing the IRS ain't no fun.
mars in the 9th house with mercury. venus in the 7th house. sun in conjunct with saturn and jupiter in the eighth, moon in the 4th followed by rahu in the sixth and ketu in the 12th, gullikan in the 11th...wat do these say?
@Anon, you're reading the Aries New Moon post from last year. Also, I don't do Vedic. Can't help you.
