THE GOOD
As the Moon enters into this sign, she becomes the Warrior Queen, Goddess of the battlefield, mother of dragons. In this sign, she has a mission and a goal that will benefit not just herself but her entire Queendom. Naturally enough, Mars as God of War is subordinate to the Queen of Heaven - battle, wartime, combat, and the merciless pursuit of a goal only function properly when they are indexed to the good of the collective.
For this reason, the passion and intensity of the Aries Moon period allows us all to identify what we want and then pursue it to the world’s end. Enough being patient, waiting, thinking, feeling, and all that nonsense. Now is the time to take what you want and manifest your desires.
The Moon will form two sextiles during this period, to Mercury and Saturn. Saturn will keep you comparably grounded and help you to stay focused, and the internal strife that he can create in any aspect will be more productive to get you to do the things you’ve been putting off. Mercury will enhance our communicative and discursive abilities, especially given his current essential dignity in the sign of Gemini.
The Moon also forms two trines - to Mars and Venus. Mars will provide a lot of intensity and drive to see your desires and wishes through, but it will create a lot of instability, and misfiring will be quite easy. Be wary of pushing yourself too hard - sometimes a manic enthusiasm can arise that is inherently unsustainable and burns you out. Venus will offer you great support from friends and allies. You will find people around you to be more cooperative and interested in working with you. This is an excellent time to cultivate friendships, especially by engaging in activities and doing things together, due to the nature of the fire sign.
THE BAD
The major downside to this kind of situation is the inevitable burnout that you face when you go really hard for a little while and completely drain yourself. The impulsive and aggressive nature of Aries can excite your passions quickly and make you move forward in life in record time, but before you know it you’ve depleted your adrenals and have left yourself feeling tired and wiped out. Life is a marathon, not a race.
The advantage is the proper setting up of boundaries and control to keep others from walking all over you if you traditionally have any issues with boundaries and standing up for yourself. This can also help people to be more productive and successful.
The Sun forms a square to the Moon. The divine lovers are quarrelling, and with the Moon in a fiery sign and in the superior position, emotional intensity and energetic chaos is sure to win out over rational choice and conscious intention. Don’t be too upset by events occurring wildly askew to what you intended.
Consider what can you do during this next few days to stay alert and productive, without compromising any ounce of meditative awareness. How can you ensure that you move through the agitated hustle and bustle of life with an unshakeable peace within your heart?
THE WYRD
The PGM (Greek Magical Papyri) tells us that this is an excellent time for fire divination. This takes some practice - if you’re not already in the habit of seeing spirits and energies you may need some practice. Light a fire or a candle and stare into the flame. Let your breath take you into a place of trance. You can set some intentions beforehand to receive answers to specific questions. You may (with a lot of practice ) feel an answer or literally see the answer in the fire.
Remember, everything that I tell you here needs to be indexed to your natal chart, especially the house placement of the Moon, any major transits and the time lords in your life. A strong period for one person may be more challenging for another.
Astrological Signatures
Entry: Wednesday, June 30th, at 9:21pm EDT / Thursday, July 1st at 1:21am UTC.
Departure: Saturday, July 3rd at 8:27am EDT / 12:27pm 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: Movable Fire. Movability (Cardinality) indicates brief, 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: Superior Fire trine to Mars in Leo. There is great support for the Moon in grounding her significations into reality. This period should be more stable and less out of control, but you may still find your temper flaring up more often than not.
Relationship to the Sun: Superior Square to the Sun in Cancer. This is a challenging placement, creating disharmony and discord between our circumstances and emotional states and the intentions and desires we wish to implement into the world.
Aspects
Superior Sextile to Mercury in Gemini. This is an easy, productive period for communication and the use of the mind. Ideas and conversation will flow freely. With the nature of this sextile, exchange of ideas will be most supported.
Superior Fire Trine to Venus in Leo. Passion and creativity will flourish in a very outward way. The muses will speak loudly, and people will support each other in a rather yang, intense style.
Inferior Sextile to Saturn in Aquarius. Maturity and realism coming from a firm, stern hand. You will not be immune from sadness and some depression during this time, though it will be lessened through the easy nature of the aspect.
