Timing: The Moon will spend the beginning of this week in the Sign of Aries, starting on Thursday September 3rd at 9:21pm UTC till Sunday September 6th at 9:43am UTC
Moon in Aries: Place of Sectmate, the Moon is welcomed by Mars as if by a friend or ally. 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. However, burnout is always a possibility.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Movable Fire. Movability (cardinality) indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The moon and our own moods, activities, and attention spans tend to flit from one thing to the next. The fire element indicates the realm of spirit and ideals, and the Moon in a fire sign often expresses more enthusiasm, spontaneity, and creative, heart-centered expressionism.
Moon’s ruler: Mars. The Moon forms a conjunction to her ruler, and so her significations are supported by her ruler and more likely to ground. These days will be busier than the previous Aries-moon days. 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
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: As with the other Aries-Moon periods, this one will be hectic but productive. The natural potential for activity coupled with the mars-conjuntion will ensure that this period sees a lot happen. There is a strong potential for burnout and over intensity in feeling. Though you may accomplish a lot looking back, the experience itself will probably be very chaotic and disruptive to your natural rhythmns. Be wary of darker voices of shame and doubt that gnaw at you if you enter into a burnount period. Do your best to stay grounded and be nonreactive to the events beyond your control.
