New Moon in Aries (“And I Feel Fine”)
REM’s smash hit 1987 radio-single, “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” has been up in the charts the past few weeks and for good reason. It is the end of the world as we know it, and we all should feel fine.
It’s important to remember that all circumstances are inherently neutral — we are the assigners of meaning. Or, in Shakespearean terms, “there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Even Coronavirus. The Universe operates in a very natural, law-of-least-resistance way, so there must be some very good reasons we need to contend with this pandemic right now.
Thus, take an empowered response to what’s going on, which is by asking How can this situation serve you exactly as it is? In doing this you are allowing yourself to be served by a situation/circumstance that seems to be negative. This may be more difficult for some than others, and I certainly don’t mean to make light of what some people are going through; hope, however, springs eternal, and every situation can be leveraged to your greatest advantage.
As always, the stars are very much aligned with what’s going on now. The current astrological activity helps us understand what’s happening and why:
Since November 2019, Pluto (destruction) and Saturn (structure) have been conjunct. This put the writing on the wall that the structures of our lives would transform for deeper levels of healing and growth. We’re seeing now how we really need to move the sofa to vacuum under the rug. And though things will go back to “normal,” it will be a “new normal.” We’re seriously clearing out the old to make way for the new.
Jupiter, which expands everything it touches, has been conjunct Pluto, which rules viruses, among other things, since early March — so we can see how COVID-19 has spread exponentially over the past few weeks.
On March 22, Saturn, which represents responsibility, entered Aquarius which is all about innovation. This transit represents our responsibility to be innovative. Aquarius rules the Internet and technology, so we have a responsibility to use technology now if we are to build and sustain (Saturn). As Darwin said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
The North Node, which speaks to the global destiny, is in the sign of Cancer, which rules the home. Many are on lock-down, forced now to stay home, which ensures we get comfortable in the Cancerian territory of inner, emotional security.
The North Node in Cancer and its counterpart, the South Node in Capricorn, speak to the concept of “domes” and “doming.” Cancer puts a dome around their home and family so nobody can infiltrate; Capricorn does the same with their public persona and status, as to protect their reputation. With Social Distancing, which advises we stay six feet away from each other, and working from home, we have wider “domes” around us; this actually gives us more personal space — stronger, wider domes, both personally and professionally.
With Cancer, whose key phrase is “I feel,” on the North Node which is indicative of our karmic destiny, the best thing we can do is — like the line in REM’s song — feel fine.
So just decide that you are.
For the New Moon in Aries on March 24, 2020, the theme of self-assertion reigns supreme. Aries’ key phrase is “I am,” and we get to decide who we are at any given time. So, on this New Moon in Aries, really double down on who you want to be, which is who you already are on some level. Do you want to feel fine? Then think those thoughts that make you feel fine. Stay in the moment and focus on the most pleasant aspects of the moment. Assert you’re fine and act like it by taking new actions in the current climate.
To help you leverage everything to your greatest advantage, we have the New Moon in Aries. To see which area of your chart will be lit up for new beginnings, find out where 4 degrees of Aries appears in your astrological chart; likewise, read your sign and/or rising sign below:
ARIES: This is a very powerful New Moon for you, as it’s in your sign, transiting your First House of Identity. Everything you could ever want starts with the belief you can have it…that you’re the type of person who could have what you want. Thus, changing your self-construct this new moon is the name of the game.
Further, when you “attract” more love, money, vitality, etc., it’s because you’ve released that energy within yourself and are expressing it more fully. This New Moon, remember that you contain it all. Your key phrase is I AM. You are the entire universe and are entitled to whatever your heart desires because you are already it; you contain it all. Asserting aloud, “I want X and I am entitled to it because I AM,” may be very empowering and help you achieve whatever you want. If you’re good at directing your mind, this moon can be leveraged quite well, helping you to manifest whatever you desire.
Since the First House rules not only your perception but your physical body, do what you can over the next two weeks to feel better physically. Create a new workout regimen for yourself that’s fun, safe and exciting. Use your workouts to acclimate your cells to the new frequency you want to experience: Your thoughts and beliefs create your emotions; emotion is energy in motion and motion creates the self. Life, therefore, is an emotional game. To achieve what you want, practice the feeling of having it, retraining your cells to feel a different way consistently. While maintaining the feeling state of what you desire, if you exercise while doing it, you’ll speed up your manifestations.
Further, the First House pertains to the package you present to the world. Shop online for some new threads to signal to yourself and the world there’s a new sheriff in town! Happy Birthday, Aries. May this year be a bright one for you — for if this year is bright for you, it will be bright for the world.🌞
TAURUS: The Aries New Moon will transit your Twelfth House of the Subconscious. This is an important transit for you, Taurus, as you gear up for your next birthday year. Since in life we get what aligns with our vibration, this is the perfect time to change the signal you’re putting out to the world.
Over the next two weeks while social distancing is still a “thing,” really utilize this 12th House transit by taking time to meditate, rest, and turn inward. Dial into how you want your life to be. Tap into the feelings you want to experience. Use your imagination to visualize having what you want…perfect health, a surplus of money, an amazing mate, etc. The subconscious can’t differentiate between what’s being imagined and what’s actually happening, and when there’s a discrepancy between the two, the subconscious cannot rest until it makes them coincide.
While moving through life from the perspective of already having what you want, take inspired, actionable steps toward the goal. You’re an ace manifester, Taurus, and when determined, no one can stop you from achieving what you desire. Shortcut your manifestations by convincing yourself that what you want has already happened; pretend it’s in the past and give yourself a pat on the back that it’s all done.
Most important, give yourself the relief you desire. Relax, sooth yourself and take it easy. With Uranus transiting your sign, the last few years have probably not been easy. Never forget that there’s a reason for everything, and that once you handle the changes, you’re going to be stronger, happier and more fulfilled than ever before.💪
GEMINI: The Aries New Moon will transit your Eleventh House of Hopes, Dreams, Wishes and Friends! Over the next two weeks, take time to consider your greatest hopes, dreams, wishes and ideals. The 11th House is the house of “why not?” Why not achieve your lofty aims? It’s time to look at the limitless sky and give yourself the freedom to claim it as yours. Since we can’t imagine non-existence, anything you can imagine must exist somewhere, right?! So give yourself permission to go after your big dreams.
Help along the way will be your friends or groups of like-minded people also inspired about life and all it has to offer. Put yourself out there and find people with whom you can relate — especially online! This chart area corresponds with the Internet, so consider joining some online spaces to meet some new cyber friends whom you can support and can support you.
Once you tap into your DESERVABILITY and WORTHINESS that allow you to believe your greatest hopes, dreams and wishes are possible, prove to the universe your belief by COMMITTING to actionable steps to make them happen. Even if a specific strategy doesn’t yield the results you desire, remember that the energy you put forth doesn’t just evaporate — it’s put toward your end-game in a way unbeknownst to you.
Do everything you can to stay clear this month, keeping up with diet, exercise, and rest so the power of universe can easily run through you to help you manifest your miracles. All miracles are based on love, so love, love, love, love — love everyone and everything. Love as much as possible. Energy at its basis, is love.♥️
CANCER: The Aries New Moon will transit your Tenth House of Career. Over the past few months, you may have experienced some shifts in consciousness. With your new awareness, you are now able to go further than you would have gone before. Use this New Moon to glean more understanding about what you want to achieve professionally. You’re in an advantageous position to make shifts happen professionally, so plant seeds and take action over the next two weeks (the sooner, the better).
I realize that now may not seem like the ideal time to advance professionally, but it actually is for you. You may have to do things differently, but you can position yourself in the marketplace now much better than your competitors. Whether you want to rise in the ranks in the career you have now or embark on an exciting new trajectory, this is the month to do it!
As an emotional Cancer, you have a leg up: The universe responds to vibration which is emotional, so if you can conjure up the feelings of having what you seek and sustain those feelings, you’ll achieve your aims speedily. Perceive in your mind the end result you desire, conjure up its feelings and pretend it’s already happened; then take inspired action as if you’re just “rewinding” to the beginning of the movie. Prove you believe that it’s going to happen by the actionable steps you take. Belief combined with practical action is all you need now to reach the top.🥇
LEO: The Aries New Moon will transit your Ninth House of Expansion. This is the time to let your spirit to soar! You are likely to have “itchy feet” now, craving something fresh, new and unfamiliar for a reboot. This may be difficult, since the Coronavirus has put a damper on travel and other fun adventures, but you’re creative — think outside the box!
One way you may wish to experience expansion is to publish, broadcast or somehow share your perspective with the world, so you can experience your presence everywhere. With the world having access to you, by reading your work or hearing you speak, for instance, you experience yourself as you really are — truly infinite.
Another way you can use this transit is to plan a trip to a far-off place once travel is considered safer and easier. Or, if you don’t want to wait, broaden your horizons right where you are: take an online class that will open your mind or start working with a coach who could widen your perspective. Gift yourself a sense of limitlessness now — go far and wide, the world is your oyster — even if you’re currently stuck at home! 🌎 💫
VIRGO: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Eighth House of Rebirth. The only constant in the universe is change; change, therefore, is stability, and that’s what this transit for you is about this month. So, now that you probably have a little downtime now, consider what you want. A brand new life? Or just some minor changes to the one you have now? Focus from the perspective of already having what you seek, and off you go!
The point of this transit is empowerment through transformation. Often, such a transit relates to boundaries: which ones will you set and which ones will you dissolve? Make the decision based on how you feel: if your resources combined with someone or something else empowers you, move in a little closer; if combining forces with someone or something else disempowers you, draw some lines in the sand or cut them loose.
Empowerment is the name of your game this month and key to that now is letting go of what you have so you can have more. What might you release to make room for your heart’s deepest fulfillment? As you seek this answer, stay in flow, stay in your gratitude, and be flexible and gentle with yourself. Realize the unfamiliar could be better than the familiar. Everything and anything can be yours so long as there’s enough room and allowance for it to come in. Love is letting go of fear.🌈
LIBRA: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Seventh House of Partnerships. This month, you’ll have a great opportunity to strengthen the partnerships you’re in or find some new ones that will help make you stronger.
If you’re single and looking, this is quite the auspicious transit for you. Though it may not seem like the best time for new romance since we’re social distancing and everything is closed [!] there are still options for connecting. You may want to start meeting people online; not just via dating sites, but online groups and classes that you could pursue around this time. It also doesn’t hurt to put the word out to friends that you’re “on the market.” You could be set up on a virtual date, getting to know someone via phone or video chat, which might make it all the more sweet when you actually come together.
Whether you want empowering personal or professional partners now, the universe is queued up to deliver, waiting for you to be ready. Life may have thrown you a few curve balls earlier this year, but now you’re poised for what you like best: balance! Have those important talks that will allow your relationships to flourish; mend fences if you feel a partnership is salvageable and worth another go. Focusing on the energy you’re flowing into your relationships is the best way to leverage this New Moon over the next month.💞
SCORPIO: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Sixth House of Lifestyle. This is a cool transit for you, Scorpio, as you all tend to love your routine! Though your routine has probably been shaken up drastically over the past few weeks, if I know you, you started a new one straight away. Now, as this transit has you focusing on “health” and “work” — what we do day in and day out — you can use this new moon to double down on and fine-tune your daily agenda.
It may help to consider what you want your days and weeks to look and feel like. Do you want more ease? More focus? More flow? If it’s a new job you think would make life easier, consider what that new job looks like and take action to find one over the next two weeks. Though it may on the surface seem like this is the absolute worst time to search for a new job, you can change that story. You’re a Scorpio! You can move heaven and hell to get what you want! Present yourself as someone who thrives in digital environments (with experience managing virtually, for instance) and you could get yourself at the top of resume pile! It also may not hurt to connect with people you had worked with before, as an employer may be more comfortable taking on a remote employee with whom they have a successful history.
If your current job has gone through changes, which it most likely has, now’s the time to fine-tune your work to be more streamlined and successful.
Additionally, you may want to direct your attention to how you feel physically, using the new moon’s energy for more vitality and better health. This transit is ideal for starting a new exercise routine and/or diet so you feel as perfect as possible. Though gyms are closed for the time being and group fitness classes are on hold, this is a time to think outside the box. Perhaps you’ll get an amazing exercise machine, start exercising along with classes online, or enjoy the fresh air for a morning run or speed walk. You could find a new passion that makes you feel amazing!
Essentially, you can use this month to get your life running like a well-oiled machine. With the right balance of things in place, you’ll find everything supports everything else. Your imagination is unparalleled, so take some time to consider what would be ideal in your daily life — with what’s available now — and implement some changes, bit by bit, to make the most of this New Moon.🧘♀️🧖♀️🏋️♀️
SAGITTARIUS: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Fifth House of Pleasure! This life area encapsulates what you’re known for: Good times! Over the next few weeks, you’ll likely feel really creative, ready to laugh and have fun. Sure, I know the bars are closed and most events are cancelled, but you can still have a ball in a safe, socially responsible way! Maybe this is having a virtual social hour with friends, or watching movies or TV shows with your besties on the phone. There’s so much to make your heart happy, Sadge, we just got to be creative and make the most of what we have available.
In addition to simply having some rest and recreation, you could use this transit to get your creative juices flowing. In terms of hobbies and even career matters, follow your excitement like a breadcrumb trail! Now that Mercury Retrograde is over, the next 30 days is perfect for manifesting fun and excitement in virtually every life area: work, exercise and diet, your hobbies, passions and relationships — the list goes on and on. Really use this time to discover what lights you up. That excitement may be the secret to your luck!☘️
CAPRICORN: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Fourth House of Home — super convenient because you’re probably on lock down! How the stars align! Now’s the time to find your “happy place” inside yourself, really build up your self-trust, and connect with what makes you feel comfy and cozy. Take some time to “nest and rest” over the next month, really nurturing yourself — there’s no better time to do it!
Once you feel good, consider what might make you feel even more comfortable: Is it a new home or simply a new comforter and pillows? Is it deeper relations with your friends and family, more downtime, or do you want to dive deep into a relationship? Every relationship you have is reminiscent of the relationship you have with yourself, so start there! Soothe yourself and find your inner peace, and everything else will fall into place.
Further, when it comes to “security,” realize that insecure feelings are about the fear of collapse. You can’t get true security from money or a relationship, for instance, as there are plenty of rich and partnered people who are insecure. High energy is what brings security (and keeps you healthy, too!) for when you have high energy, it’s a far cry from the vibration of collapse.
Use this New Moon to do whatever you can to rest, exercise and eat right so you can express your highest energy. Having vitality will help you feel more emotionally secure — more at home within the self — which is what you’ll want to get out of this transit.🏡
AQUARIUS: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Third House of Communication. Now that Mercury Retrograde is over, you have the ability to find your groove and let the good times roll! Granted, these “good times” may be somewhat privatized and socially distant, but good times nonetheless! See what you — the most technologically inclined of the zodiac — can have a blast doing remotely.
Even with the quarantine you may be under, this should be an especially busy month for you, with work stuff to do and a full social calendar, even it’s just phone calls and communications with friends and associates. Though it may be tempting to say “yes” to everything, be discriminating to make the best use of your time: If you sense doing something is a bad idea or will be completely useless, you’re probably right, so save your energy. Decide what deserves your time and attention and what does not.
Communications can also be made more efficient during this time: Be clear with what you say and make sure people are clear with you; since this period is so communication heavy, it wouldn’t hurt to write follow-up emails to ensure you and colleagues are on the same page. This transit is an opportunity to really strengthen your communication skills and build a better rapport with others.
Remember, the most important person you communicate with is yourself, so make sure you’re focusing on how spectacular you are and how abundant life is! Your self-talk should be empowering, as the way you talk to yourself is what the universe hears and responds to. Make your inner voice your most supportive, inspiring friend ever, and you’ll experience more abundance ahead.🌊
PISCES: The New Moon in Aries will transit your Second House of Self-Worth and Finance. This is the perfect transit to create more abundance in your life. In the current state of affairs, this may seem like more of a challenge than usual, but you’re very creative! Remember that abundance is a flow. To achieve physical evidence of it (i.e., prosperity), keep your energy flowing however you can. This may mean doing stuff online or in the privacy of your own home — maybe even your own business, writing a book, or launching a social media endeavor!
If you’re looking to make more money, now’s the time to do it! In fact, you Pisces have a leg up when it comes to creating wealth: You often experience life as a dream, and if you can make it a lucid dream — one in which you’re the director — you can have whatever you wish.
There’s another thing you can use to increase your financial flow: Your voice! The throat is your center of self-worth, which relates to self-expression and correlates with your money-making potential. By expressing yourself more fully, you’ll increase the power of your outflow which will result in more inflow. Sometimes we have throat chakra/financial blocks because we’re not speaking up about something. Even if you can’t, for instance, tell your boss to go to hell, you could write him/her a letter that you don’t send, just to release the energy there.
Further, even in the bible it says that to those who have, more will be given: what you appreciate appreciates, so be vigilant about perceiving all the abundance around you — oxygen, the food you eat, the people you know, the warmth of the sun, the sustenance of water, etc. In affirming that what you have is abundant, you negate the possibility of lack. Live fully and abundantly now, and you’ll be aligned with vitality and a surplus of money which you’ll very much like!💰
