March 20, 2023 at 2:24 pm PDT is Spring Equinox, the time of equal light and equal dark. The Sun enters Aries to begin the solar new year. There’s Equinox balance and a new Moon beginning for springtime!
March 21 is a new Moon in Aries at 10:23 am PDT. Fire sign Aries rules the 1st house of self-image and self-expression. Aries is a brave pioneer who is ready to take action. The new Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are in Aries for lucky new beginnings and adventures this lunar month.
The path is clear to step forward and be radiant. No planets are retrograde until Mercury retrograde begins April 21. If you include the one week shadow period before Mercury retrograde, the path is clear until April 13. You have until mid April to put your ideas into action and initiate new projects. You don’t have to complete anything. You just need to start. Contact me for your tarot card reading or astrology forecast about new directions or to clarify choices.
This new Moon begins the lunar month of the Fire Dragon. Dragon is the most powerful sign of the Chinese zodiac, and is considered very fortunate. Dragon is full of life, bravery, and intensity. Dragons are fighters who do not easily allow defeat. The element Fire strengthens the already mighty Dragon, and brings even more passion, dynamism, and energy. Dragon’s earthly branch is the element Wood. Wood feeds Fire, creating a bigger blaze.
Now is the lunar month to be assertive, to go out and get. Mars in Gemini trines Saturn for stability, patience, and willingness to do the work. But Mars squares the new moon, Sun, and Neptune. There could be disagreements or disputes. Tensions from the past and consequences of past actions come to a head. Or due to the Neptune square, there could be feelings of doubt and discouragement. Stay strong and push through.
Growth and development are for all this spring, and is strongest for Fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius and those born in Rat, Dragon, Snake, and Monkey years.
Happy new Moon,
