The Moon in Aries the Ram ~ 3 – 5 April 2019

The Moon travels into action-oriented Aries and the 6th House of health and employment at 7:57 PM PDT on 3 April 2019 remaining there until Void of Course begins at 7:41 PM PDT on the 5th. We may be feeling the impetus to get out and do something. In fact, we may seek action over the next few days to deal with any stress we may be feeling. Because of that, check in with your physical, emotional, and spiritual health addressing any needs that arise. The chart is below:

Chart Information

• Mode ~ Cardinal or initiating energies dominate. Cardinal Signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn

• Rays ~ Rays 3 (Active Intelligence) and 7 (Ceremonial Order and Magic) stressing intelligent action and adaptability
• Sign ~ Aries, Libra, and Pisces provide the strongest influence involving expressions of will, balance, and compassion
• House ~ 5th and 6th Houses dominate over the next few days involving creative expression and mundane tasks. Be aware of mind/body/Spirit balance.

• Lunar Phase ~ Balsamic, New Moon on 4/5 at 1:50 AM PDT

Aspects

A strong conjunction with Vesta brings hearth and home into focus. Although Earth is in a weakened state, and we’re probably not feeling like taking care of mundane tasks right now, Vesta is asking us to focus our will, intellect, and emotions on just that. A focus on ritual may also provide emotional healing and well-being during this lunar period. An additional conjunction with Chiron reinforces healing as a focus where ritual may also be appropriate.

Magickal Workings

Building upon the Moon’s conjunction with Vesta, rituals involving healing and wellbeing can be worked during this time, particularly on Thursday where Jupiter’s expansive influence can be of benefit. If working magick on Wednesday, workings can involve communication or revelation. Take care on Wednesday, however, to incorporate Mercury’s seal to tamp down forces of conflict as the 1st Mansion (Alnath) is active during this time. If locating lost objects, the 2nd Mansion (Albochan) should provide assistance on Thursday. The New Moon arrives on the 5th, so inner work is also favored.

It seems that just when we have a ton of energy to do something, Vesta calls us back home where all sorts of tasks are waiting. Perhaps we can utilize this initiating energy to create something beautiful around our home, while we’re cleaning up, of course.

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
