THE GOOD

Are you tired of trying to get stuff done but feeling like you lack the drive or initiative to actually do anything or follow through? This Aries Moon period could be your big break. The passion and intensity of Aries allows us all to identify what we want and then pursue it to the worlds end. Enough being patient, waiting, thinking, feeling, and all that nonsense. Now is the time to take what you want and manifest your desires.

On top of that, the FOUR sextiles the Moon is forming never hurt anybody. 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. Jupiter will give you a feeling of exuberance and emotional clarity that helps you to keep your spirits uplifted while you do this work. Mars supports the Moon here as her ruler and helps to smooth out and streamline the impulses of Aries. And Mercury will make it easier to communicate with others about your goals and ideas.

THE BAD

The only real 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.

This is also a terrible time trying to cultivate relationships and friendships from an emotional center. Don’t even bother - just go on a run or something.

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.

This Tuesday morning in the sunrise hour of Mars is an excellent time for a Mars ritual. Set your intentions and focus your will. Put up your boundaries and set limits for how much nonsense you will take from other people.

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. I am currently taking on new clients for readings, and I would be very happy to walk you through your own chart and astrological weather - book a session with me here!

Astrological Signatures

Entry: Saturday, March 13th at 6:43pm EST / 11:43pm UTC

Departure: Tuesday, March 16th at 6:56am EDT / 10:56am 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 Sextile to Mars in Gemini. There is moderate support for the Moon in grounding her significations into reality. This period should be more stable and less out of control. If there were any hard aspects from malefics (there are not), then the Moon would be offered some protection from them.

Relationship to the Sun: Aversion to the Sun in Pisces. This is a neutral placement. Your outer circumstances and the events that surround you will not pull you down and fight against your will, but they will not lift you up and support you either.

Aspects

• Inferior Sextile to Mercury in Aquarius. The beginning of a three-part aspect cycle. 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.

• Inferior Sextile to Jupiter in Aquarius. The beginning of a three-part aspect cycle. Help will come in through the avenues of teachers and guides. There is emotional buoyancy, and an opportunity for optimism, financial growth, and greater spiritual wisdom.

• Inferior Sextile to Saturn in Aquarius. The beginning of another three-part aspect cycle. 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.
