VENUS in ARIES

For the LOVE of Creative Activity

VENUS takes on the traditional role of the Sun, entering ARIES as Passover begins!

In ancient times, passover was celebrated as the Sun entered Aries, the passing over from winter to spring at Equinox.

Lady Love (likes & dislikes) begins classes anew, in the very first sign of ARIES where Creative Activity is key!

VENUS last entered the cardinal fire sign of Aries on March 6, 2018. Notably, while holding hands with MERCURY.

For their last trip around our celestial sphere VENUS & MERCURY started the first class on the first day of school, together!

The energy of new beginnings is still flowing strong! The planetary bodies that recently began anew in Aries:

Jan2 MARS in ARIES – Action
Feb18 CHIRON in ARIES – Healing
Mar20 SUN in ARIES – Outer Identity
Apr3 VESTA in ARIES – Inner Flame
Apr17 MERCURY in ARIES – Mind
Apr20 VENUS in ARIES – Love

Lots of shifting today! Growing Outer Stability with the SUN in TAURUS and Commitment to Feeling with JUNO in CANCER.

MERCURY in ARIES

MERCURY enters ARIES 

As we finally clear the shadow zone of the last retrograde period!

On March 5th, Mercury went retrograde on the very last degree of our Celestial Sphere at 29° Pisces.

MERCURY now begins classes anew, in the very first sign of ARIES where Creative Activity is key!

Mercury last entered the cardinal fire sign of Aries on March 6, 2018, while holding hands with Venus.

This year Venus takes the honorary role of passing over from winter to spring; entering Aries on Passover.

Since ancient times, passover was the Sun entering Aries, but this year it seems, we're a bit, off kilter.

The celestial ties to Passover & Easter came to light during the MERCURY Rx Mission on Calendar Reform.

The energy of new beginnings flows strong! 

As the following personal planets began or begin anew in Aries.

Jan2 MARS in ARIES – Action
Feb18 CHIRON in ARIES – Healing

ARIES New Moon

The first “New Moon Magic” of the Celestial Year! 

Inner Moon & Outer Sun in the Aries realm of Creative Activity!

As the Moon meets the Sun, it appears as if, there’s no Moon at all. Rather like the ultimate (release time) at the culmination of each monthly waning phase.

The New Moon alignment of the Inner & Outer aspects of self, also marks the energetic transition from waning (inner release) to waxing (inner build) mode.

The Aries New Moon occurs only when the Sun is in Aries each spring and it’s extra magical, as New Beginnings are the specialty here in the first sign of Aries.

Here’s a real-time example of how this magical kind of energy manifests out into the world! A message from a reserved Capricorn Sun, Scorpio Moon kind of guy.

This Cappie Boy says he’s feeling super in-tune! People are asking what’s up with all this gregarious energy! A little snippet just hours before the Aries New Moon.

Notably, this one also happens to be an Aries Rising! (Aries on the Eastern horizon at birth). The Rising Sign reflects our favorite way of approaching the world.

The exact points of each horizon at birth are called AC/DC. Reflecting the outward flow current of the AC right-hand, and receptive flow current of the DC left-hand.

This Magical New Moon meetup occurs very near the exact AC point of this one’s Aries energetic approach. Extraordinarily like the picture symbol for this New Moon degree!

BRIGHTLY CLAD BROWNIES, DANCING IN WARM DYING LIGHT. 

High energy magical thought forms, move in rhythm with creation, as evening draws near.

VESTA in ARIES

Flame Keeper VESTA enters ARIES

In mythology, Vesta had charge of the Inner Flame, her area of expertise was Hearth and Home (Heart and Mind)

Birth-chart Tapestry

Asteroid (4)Vesta brings attention to the eternal inner flame, alight within. Providing inspiration to all of mankind, as her celestial journey begins anew in the first sign of ARIES!

Vesta is a wonderful reminder of the expansive energy residing within the heart and mind. Vesta tours the whole 360 degree celestial sphere in about 3.6 years.

Vesta begins the celestial classes anew, upon reaching Aries. As Vesta passes over the new beginnings, front gate of Aries, a brand new (Flame Keeper) cycle begins.

For this one, it’s a day to remember! Oh, the ever increasing awareness of the current planetary motions, in conjunction with the personal energetic wiring!

As Vesta taps the energetic aerial coinciding with the natal Sun, her energy seems tangibly in the air! Like bolstering up, both the outer identity and inner flame.

Of course, the Sun and Excalibur aligned with natal Mercury, may have a lot to do with it too! The position of Mercury at birth reflects the energetic aerial of the Mind.

Asteroid (9499)Excalibur is a favorite! A prominent energetic player for this one! Aligned with Uranus, at birth. Rather like a (Uranus/Excalibur) duo.

Excalibur is a powerful tool for transformation, much like the longstanding symbol of King Arthur’s sword. A power available, only for the very highest of intentions.

SUN in ARIES

Passover from winter to spring as the SUN enters ARIES

Followed just four hours later by the First Full Moon of the Celestial Year!

An extraordinary celestial event preceded by four consecutive full moons occurring at zero degrees of the four previous signs Virgo, Leo, Cancer and Gemini.

Now the fifth full moon at zero degrees! In Libra, exactly opposite the Sun. As the Inner Moon rules the fall/winter, so the Outer Sun rules the spring/summer.

This year is so epic because the Moon will transfer the ‘Crown of the Seasons’ to the Sun from the exact degree where the Moon dons the crown each autumn.

Both the Outer Sun and the Full Inner Moon are positioned on their (crown donning degrees) just as this transition of transferring the seasonal crown occurs!

Easter is generally recognized on the Sunday following this first full moon after Spring Equinox. Anciently it was viewed as time of honoring the Inner Self.

In autumn when the Moon dons the crown from this degree, there's a long held custom of blowing a Ram’s Horn that kicks off a 10-day honoring of the Sun.

As there seems to be no set date, as to when one Age ends and another begins, have to wonder if this epic equinox, might be marking such an extraordinary event.

Notably at this time, three of the great teachers Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune are all touring their own celestial lands, and the Mercury Rx Mission is Calendar Reform!

The Ancients drew intricate picture symbols over the constellations that tell an epic story of the celestial influences; relaying the story of Creation and of Man.  

The winter half of the year draws to a close with PISCES Understanding of Experiences, as the summer half begins with the Great Ram of ARIES, leading the way!

FIRE is the element of expansion, the fire signs are known for having great spirit! ARIES is the only cardinal fire sign, expansively led by the energy of spirit!

The focus now shifts from the (mutable) maneuverability of Pisces Season to that of (cardinal) leadership energy for this first celestial month of ARIES.

The SUN tours (cardinal) Aries 3/20-4/20 where charging ahead with Expansive Creative Energy and the Activities of Spring are key!

As the Inner MOON covers the (cardinal energy) expression of all four elements; FIRE, EARTH, AIR, and WATER.

Moon & Mars in Aries

Inner Motivation

MOON meets MARS in ARIES where Creative Activity is key! 

Moon/Mars is all about Inner/Action. Concentration is the ability to consciously direct and focus the attention, at will. The Sabian picture symbol for this meetup degree:

A SEER GAZES WITH CONCENTRATION INTO A CRYSTAL SPHERE. 

Miraculous insight is accessed with full attention on the vibrational qualities of the whole.

MARS says; “Nearly halfway through the first Inner Build cycle of the year Lil' Grasshopper! What a perfect time to reactivate those concentration exercises."
