April 19, 2023 at 9:12 am PDT is a new Moon eclipse in Aries. New Moons are usually a time for beginnings, and Fire sign Aries is a natural pioneer. But this new Moon is an eclipse, an absence of light when the “shadow” is seen, meaning that unconscious behaviors can come to light.
Therefore, this lunar cycle is time to examine your values and motivations, and how these determine your actions. Contact me for your astrology forecast or tarot reading for clarity and guidance.
This new Moon is the second new Moon in Aries and the second lunar month of the Fire Dragon. Dragon is the most powerful sign of the Chinese zodiac and is considered very fortunate. Dragon can take action and lead, especially dynamic Fire Dragon. But goals might be unfocused due to the eclipse.
April 21 – May 14 Mercury is retrograde in Earth sign Taurus to say what you mean and mean what you say. Use caution and be flexible to avoid standing your ground or doing battle in a Dragon month.
Fortunately, the new Moon, Sun, and Jupiter are conjunct in Aries. Jupiter’s influence brings good feelings and generosity. It’s easier to be in touch with emotions, and to have understanding on an intuitive level. There can be insight to the positive ways that the past contributed to your present situation.
Peace and understanding are for all this spring, and are most profound for Fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius and those born in Rat, Dragon, Snake, and Monkey years.
Happy new Moon,
Susan
