First Things First: March 2009 New Moon in Aries

"Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning." -John Henry Newman

I want to wish everyone a happy new year! But you say, Ron, January 1st was months ago. True, but March 20th was the first day of spring, the first day of Aries, and the first day of the new zodiacal year in astrology. And March 26th is the new moon in Aries, so we're truly at the beginning of the beginning.

The March new moon occurs at 6 degrees of Aries around noon (EDT) on March 26, 2009. Looking at the chart for the new moon we find four planets in fire signs (the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury are all in Aries) and five planets in cardinal signs (all the Aries planets plus Pluto in Capricorn). Cardinal signs begin the seasons and their purpose is to initiate or start things.

The energy mix of this new monthly cycle is cardinal fire- Aries. The element of fire in astrology is a symbol for energy, inspriation, spirit, fuel, and motivation. Cardinal fire then is like a flame thrower or a fuse- a direct and expedient path to energetic expression.

Aries is associated with beginnings, just like the beginning of spring when life seems to reappear after the cold, barren winter. Aries is the life force that announces, "I'm here," and tends to be very self-focused.

The planet that rules Aries in astrology is Mars. Mars in mythology was the god of war and represents the warrior in all of us. Mars is a very male-oriented energy, fueled by testosterone, and tends to be aggressive, dynamic, impulsive and courageous. Mars is currently in the sign of Pisces and encourages us to act from our intuition.

While every new moon is the start of a new cycle and a time to set new intentions and begin new habits, the new moon in Aries is especially strong. It's a time to exercise self-discovery, independence, and act courageously in every endeavor you take on... Continue reading New Moon in Aries

Ask the Astrologer: "Did I pass the Florida Bar Exam, that I took in February, results are expected on April 13th, and I am dying to know?"

"Did I pass the Florida Bar Exam, that I took in February, results are expected on April 13th, and I am dying to know?" - Matt

Thanks for submitting your question, Matt. In order to answer this question using astrology I'm going to look at two charts. The first is a horary chart, cast for the date and time I, as the astrologer, received and understood your question. The reason I chose this type of chart is because your question can be answered with a simple yes or no. Then, I also looked at your natal chart, cast for the birth date and time you supplied.

Ask the Astrologer: "Does this mean something bad is going to happen to me?" The Chiron Return

"I am a 48 year old male. I read in my computer purchased (on-line) transitory chart that I have Chiron square coming up in April 2010- Dec 2011. In doing some research this claims to be a part in my life where I will expect some limititions that have to do with my loss of mind/body/life/soul. I just started to learn about astrology. I have a new born grandson. Does this mean something bad is going to happen to me like death/bad accident, where I will never be able to be myself again? I am really freaking out to the point that I am scared of everything." -Jim

Jim, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so anxious about what you've read about Chiron. It's important to remember that astrology is good a two things: the timing of events and the description of circumstances. That second point, put another way, is that astrology is good at describing conditions not outcomes. Astrology is a symbolic language and gives us concepts to use in understanding ourselves.
