Energy Report – New Moon in Aries

New Moon in Aries
20th April
05:12 am UT/GMT
PLUS Solar Eclipse 07:59am

We’re experiencing a rare second New Moon and solar eclipse in Aries tonight 19th/tomorrow on April 20 depending on your time zone.

(The solar eclipse happens at 07.59am UK time on 20th.)

This is just a month after the last New Moon in Aries on March 21. We truly have a window of opportunity to make progress towards whatever we wish to manifest for the better, or just harnessing this life force enhancing energy to better go with the flow, living more presently in the moment with nature’s cycles and seasons.

Aries is a fire sign, so this window of time gives us the opportunity to tap into the fire element empowerment… greater strength, courage, passion, and determination. Fire can lead to anger and being too impulsive or ego-driven if we don’t check ourselves, so we have to be incredibly self aware and hold ourselves accountable!

We may feel the Aries energy pushing us to stand up for ourselves, leap into the new, and find the confidence to stride through new doors that are opening for us.

We are currently in eclipse season, which means if you’ve had a long-term goal in mind, more and more doors of opportunity are coming. You have the opportunity to witness your dreams come to life. Writing our achievable hopes down and keeping them somewhere visible to “feed” the intention is really helpful. Decorate the paper with doodles or create sigils to power up your intentions, place a drop or two of jasmine essential oil on the paper to draw in and acknowledge the moon energy window of creativity and power.

The supercharged energy behind this Eclipse also comes at a time of year approaching Beltane, May 1st where the veil between worlds is as thin as it is at Samhain. We sense everything more deeply at this time, we experience naturally increased sensitivity, creativity, and intuition. With Aries energy also so upfront we need to be mindful of impulsive words, actions, and allowing emotional sensitivity to override rational reactions to challenges we may experience. Before the red mist descends and takes hold, take a deep breath, centre yourself. Of course, if the Aries fire is required to lovingly assert yourself in a situation where your power is being taken, channel it into finding the right words to empower yourself.

Questions to ponder…

  • Am I trusting my intuition enough?
  • Am I allowing myself to feel my emotions honestly?
  • Is my reaction commensurate to the situation I find myself in?
  • How am I working towards what I truly want?
  • What DO I want? (Sometimes it is easier to first establish a baseline of what you do not want, or will not allow to continue)
  • Am I on track to achieve changes I’ve been dreaming of? Do I need to adjust my approach and actions here?
  • Am I being fair to myself and others?
  • Where can I show better understanding and empathy toward myself and others?

Make the most of these energies!

 

I have a few appointments for some distant healing with this amazing energy, if you feel inclined, book yourself in here…

Until next time….

love and bright blessings

Total Lunar Eclipse Super Moon During Mercury Retrograde!

 

Welcome to eclipse season!

What a rollercoaster of a weekend. Many of us have experienced challenges out of the blue!

We have been plunged into highs and lows of all kinds, and it is still continuing, so strap in because the effects of this total lunar eclipse super moon during Mercury Retrograde today will be felt for some time, especially during the next week.

Such joys are ahead of us, but they will come to us via huge energetic changes  bringing things to a head across the board. It is a time of revelation, even shock, but we can navigate it all easily with self care first and foremost, loving assertiveness and kindness to ourselves and others. This is no time for self sacrificing behaviour, we must be sovereign and wield our own sword carefully. This energy window reminds me much of the Queen of Swords in tarot…  She is firmly seated in her power, on her throne, knowing her own capability, sword casually in hand and at the ready, just to remind others she is unafraid to use it if it becomes necessary. This is who we need to be today.

You may be feeling the following:

The urge to purge. Carefully consider the people and elements of your daily life that drain the life force from you whenever you think about them, let alone when they are close by. Writing it down, meditating on each point about how you feel brings so much out into the light to be transformed.

The need for full completion or closure.

Bringing an aspect of your life full circle in order to begin something new.

Searching for ways to feel a greater sense of freedom.

What can you do about what you’ve revealed?

Can it be done in increments or does drastic action need to be taken? Remember, Mercury Retrograde can throw spanners into the most careful of plans, so timing needs consideration.

This combination of powerful energies will create reactions within you that demand action, however, weigh up your choices carefully. Ask yourself if you are having a knee jerk reaction to something temporarily annoying or painful, or are you finally making a decision about something that needs to be done or gone for good?

If you work with goddess energy, especially that of the moon goddesses and Hekate, lighting a candle, incense and asking for Her guidance in your decision making will bode well for you.

Sleeping with moonstone or selenite next to your bed will also bring dream wisdom and revelations on most full moons, but the next few nights dreams will be super revelatory. Write down any dreams you can remember or make a voice note on your phone, even if they seem bonkers! Their meaning will be revealed in the coming weeks.

More power to you as you seize this opportunity for profound change!
