Timing: The Moon will spend the endof this week in the Sign of Aries, starting on Thursday the 1st at 3:46am UTC till Saturday the 3rd at 4:12pm UTC.

Moon in Aries: Moderate dignity, as this is a place of the Moon’s sectmate, Mars. Aries Moons are fiery and passionate, a great time for getting a lot accomplished and riding the initiative and impulse to succeed at whatever you want. Inspiration and enthusiasm abound, as well as the desire to “conquer” whatever tasks you have set out for yourself. Burnout is always a possibility.

Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Cardinal Fire. Cardinality indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The fire element indicates more liveliness and even a little aggression with people’s moods.

Moon’s ruler: Mars. The Moon forms a conjunction to Mars, and so her significations are supported by her ruler and more likely to ground. These days will be busier and much more worthwhile for making long-term plans moving energy forward. Moon-mars conjunctions on their own make for a lot of passion and intensity, especially in this sign. Expect a lot of activity, movement, and things happening. There may be some chaos coming to the surface.

Aspects

• Opposition to The Sun in Virgo. Strong amount of tension and discord between what we want and what our environment provides for us. Tension, delays, and opposition from people and events around us will make enacting our will more difficult.

• Superior Fire Trine to Venus in Leo. Heightened emotional warmth, greater interpersonal kindness. The arts flourish, and people are generally more agreeable towards each other, especially related to emotional issues and topics.

• Superior movable square to Venus in Gemini. The positive interpersonal potential that comes from Venus is available, but it will require more work on your part for it to arrive. Helpful conversation, exploration with the fine arts, and friendship can all abound after some initial difficulty is worked through. The movability makes for short events, in this case conversations and interpersonal interactions that break off quickly.

• Inferior movable Square to Jupiter. Help will come in through the avenues of teachers and guides, though this help may be difficult to access at first. There is a slightly greater potential for emotional bouyancy and satisfaction, though it can be easily disrupted by martial/aries-esque aggravation.

• Inferior movable Square to Saturn. Discouragement, dissapointment, and self-doubt. You will not be immune from sadness and some depression during this time, though it will come and go in quick waves given the movable nature of the square.

Summary: If it wasnn’t for the trine to Venus, I would tell everyone to stay inside. Moon in Aries conjoined Mars, opposed the Sun, and square Saturn does not make things easy. There will be many roadblocks, tensions, and adversities in the way if making anything productive happen and feeling good about yourself. However, the moon trine to venus here indicates an avenue of hope and aid that can arrive from our friends and allies. Help will be there for you if you choose to seek it out - don’t try and go through it alone. If you don’t try to go solo this time, you may find yourself turning the chaos around you during this period into something both beautiful and practical.
