Strength Through Adversity - Moon in Aries 7/11-7/13

Timing: The Moon will spend the beginning of this week in the Sign of Aries, starting on Saturday the 11th at 6:05am UTC and ending on Monday the 13th at 6:33pm UTC.

Moon in Aries: Moderate dignity, as this is a place of the Moon’s sectmate, Mars. Aries Moons are fiery and passionate, great time for getting a lot accomplish 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, 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.

Aspects

  • Conjoined her ruler Mars on the 12th. Moon-mars conjunction makes for a lot of passion and intensity, especially in this sign

  • Sextile Venus. This helps to promote group activities and social cohesion, and people are more inclined to be charming and friendly with each other.

  • Square Mercury. Conversational flow is stifled, it will be harder to get your point across and communicate effectively and productively with others, and the watery nature of Mercury’s current sign placement with intensify this.

  • Square The Sun. Roadblocks and difficulty accomplishing your goals. External circumstances will not support your desires as much. More legwork will be required to make any major strides.

  • Square Saturn. Depression, self-doubt. Second guessing oneself and less confidence.

  • Square Pluto. Darker emotions may swell up. Depression and fog might keep you from accomplishing all your goals.

Summary: While you may be feeling a lot of enthusiasm and energy to get things accomplished, the aspects from other planets will make it difficult to see things through. Fiery inspiration must be tempered with the initiatives and energies that your surroundings offer you. Do what you can, but don’t push yourself to make anything happen that isn’t supposed to.
