Aries Moon ~ 28-30 May 2019

The Moon travels into independent Aries and the 8th House of rebirth and transformation at 11:32 AM PDT on 28 May 2019 suggesting that in times of stress, we may need the space to work out our frustrations. Additionally, we may feel the pull toward the occult or other metaphysical experiences. The chart is below.

Chart Information

• Mode/Quality – all are in relative balance.
• Element – aligning with energetic Aries, the Fire element provides the strongest influence for adventure and motivation. However, with Water in a weakened state, emotions may be in flux. Remember to extend compassion where needed.
• Ray – The 4th Ray of Harmony through Conflict helps us to remain in balance.
• Sign – Both Taurus and Gemini are influencing and offering the opportunity to balance the practical with our more chatty side of self.
• House – 4th, 8th, and 10th Houses provide the strongest influences centering around home and family, support from others, transformation, and career.
• Quadrant/Hemisphere – both the 4th Quadrant as well as the Southern Hemisphere are influencing aligning with the 10th House surrounding career and public status.
• Retrograde – Ceres (issues of self-nurturing), Jupiter (inward focus), Pallas, Pluto (dealing with karmic debt), and Saturn (revisit old issues, inward discipline)
• Active Human Design Gate/Line – Gate 25 Innocence, unexpected happening Line 2 Existentialist; 9-52 Channel of Concentration – design of determination, direct focus, small advances
• Lunar Phase – 3rd Quarter, waning, New Moon 3 June 2019 at 12°Gem33′

Aspects

The aspects with the Moon don’t really align well with Aries energy and may be more reflective of the 8th House influence. A conjunction with Chiron (Orb 5°13′ Applying) suggests that we spend so much time taking care of others that we tend to neglect our own needs. A trine with Ceres (Orb 7°20′ Applying) indicates that interactions with women are favored during this lunar period. A walk in nature with friends may be just what we need to deal with any stress we may be experiencing.

Regarding the Moon’s appearance at Human Design Gate 25 Line 2, we’re able to focus on the present moment, perhaps making good use of the retrograde energy of both Saturn and Jupiter’s for inner work as well. But this should also help curtail any emotional issues that might break our focus and cause us frustration over the next couple of days. A Channel exists on the Personality side of the bodygram between Gates 9 Small Accumulation and 52 Keeping Still, Impediment titled the Channel of Concentration, also providing the space and energy for detailed and focused work.

Magickal Workings

Magicks performed between the 28th and the 30th, inclusively, are regarded as suspect as those days are not favorable at all for magick. That said, a witch does what a witch does. Tuesday magicks can involve Mars but may need an offset to deal with any impulses that might escape the working, so a Mars planetary seal may be in order.

Wednesday magicks involve Mercury’s influence and workings can focus on communication, memory, interpretation, and revelation. Ophiel, an Olympic Spirit, can be invoked for alchemical workings as well as if a familiar is needed whereas Phaleg should be invoked on Tuesday if additional control is necessary. Just don’t forget to include the license to depart when you’re finished. Otherwise, they hang around and Goddess knows you don’t need that.

Overall Outlook

I’ve always viewed the end of the month as a time to take stock to see what I forgot during the month, so that’s what I’ll be doing for the next few days. I’ll need that extra focus on the present moment and the slower energies of the retrograde planets to align my focus.

Although there seems to be plenty of energy to get things done, we may benefit from some inner work, particularly that which nurtures the self if emotions are in flux. Meditation and trancework may be a relevant option on Wednesday for such.

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
