The New Moon in Aries is just before midnight on Saturday, April 5.

Aries is ruled by planet Mars. To understand the influence of this New Moon, we need to look at Mars.

Mars is in Cancer. Mars is currently square the Sun-Moon and approaching an opposition to Jupiter. The Mars-Jupiter opposition square the New Moon creates a Cardinal T-Square.

Basic Theme: turn it up!
This New Moon's theme is amplified action. Turn up the volume! Step up the pace. This New Moon gives you the "warrior spirit". You can feel determined to be creative, to effortlessly push beyond previous limits. You have the courage of your convictions, and you're willing to try a little harder, whether you win all or come off as the fool. You can feel energized to start things you've put off, yet you can also become impatient if the pace doesn't match your passion.

Don't trespass on me: Moon and Mars
In the New Moon chart, the Moon and Mars are square AND in mutual reception (in each other's signs). You can easily feel that you best efforts are never enough-- and/or that the efforts of others are indecisive at best. Either way can be frustrating and stress-inducing. And this can give you headaches, stomach aches, fevers, inflammations, and even cause accidents. Taking things too personally or blaming others for being too slow or passive can increase your tension. The feeling that everything is your concern can make you appear defensive or intrusive, and you may need to be careful about where you make yourself at home.

Mars, Jupiter, Sun & Moon create a t-square
As a "spirit warrior" this is the time to learn, practice, and use anger/stress management skills.

If you KNOW you are working for The Truth, Mars-Jupiter can help you work effortlessly towards greater happiness and abundance in April. You don't have to chase success. You can attract success TO you when you balance your eagerness with trust that your wishes will be answered.

Mars is approaching an opposition to Jupiter (exact April 24). The Sun and Mars were exactly square on March 30, and the New Moon continues the Sun-Mars influence. The Sun will square Jupiter (April 10) and Mars will oppose Jupiter in Capricorn (on April 24). This creates a pattern called a T-Square, Cardinal because it is in the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn.

The Cardinal T-Square is a call to action. Feeling more adventurous and willing to take bigger risks, you may have the burning desire to get yourself "out there." It's a great time to learn assertiveness training so you can present your good ideas clearly, fairly--- and with enthusiasm. Problems can arise when you give over your thinking to someone else who seems to have more confidence or authority. Is their grass really greener? If you think it is, you may be willing to drop everything and run!

Since this is fast-paced productive energy, positive encouragement can keep you moving forward. Angry words and thoughts can also be productive and reach their target with immediate impact. What causes a great deal of anger, in yourself and others, is telling people what they "should" do and not slowing down to listen. This gives the message that their values and needs should be the same as yours. This can inspire more anger and mistrust than energy and enthusiasm. And that can sabotage what could be fast progress and make you feel more alienated than successful. Extending faith and acceptance in others can add to your productive energy.

As energy builds up, you can feel more hurried, excited, sensitive, and impatient. Moving faster can make everyone more insensitive as we all push harder, reach farther, sometimes too far too fast, and seemingly small irritations can start to accumulate. So to release some of the extra tension while maintaining your momentum, you will need to stay present and not exaggerate. Success may require more awareness of your priorities. Then you can plan your time to reflect your priorities.

Venus joins in
Venus is quickly approaching a time of stronger influence as she enters (Mars-ruled) Aries and squares Pluto exactly 23 hours and 50 minutes after the New Moon is exact. Venus in Mars-ruled Aries and square Pluto, exalted in Aries and with a strong Mars connection, can make this Venus square Pluto into a serious transit. Something intended to be innocent can release emotions long thought to be over and done. It can be tempting to blame whoever inspires your passions, yet this can backfire. The square to Pluto reminds us to be especially sensitive to the deep feelings of others because flaming old wounds can be easy now. If feelings of jealousy or resentment come up, instead of going to extremes and getting dramatic, this is a good time to work on what was unconscious and is now conscious.

Grand Trines coming
People have been asking about the Grand Trine in April. It starts with a quick-moving Grand Trine in Earth including the Moon in Taurus on Sunday, April 6. There are more Grand Trines as the inner planets enter Taurus through early May.

On Sunday, the Moon in Taurus will trine Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo. While the Saturn-Pluto trine is long-term, Sunday's Grand Trine is quick-moving because the Moon moves ~ 13 degrees per day. So it will only be in effect on Sunday, April 6. As the inner planets move into Taurus, starting with Mercury on April 17, Sun April 19, and Venus in early May, they will all take their turns as part of the Earth Grand Trine.

The Earth Grand Trine with Saturn-Pluto shows the great depth of focus and concentration that is possible when you are motivated. The Moon in Taurus suggests that the motivation can start with material needs or possessions. This doesn't have to be bling, especially since Saturn is involved. This is more about carefully choosing investments and tools that will help you earn more income, slowly and steadily building more support and thereby more wealth. During this Grand Trine, you may be able to attract money and power-- and keep it with good planning and management.

More about Mercury, Sun, and Venus in the next Newsletter and on the blog.

Interesting note about Juno
Juno, the Asteroid goddess of relationships, is at 29'10" Sagittarius, seemingly about to enter Capricorn and close to a conjunction with Pluto. However, Juno will station Retrograde April 18 (Pluto stationed Retrograde, April 2) and while they will continue to travel together, they won't actually conjunct until they both station Direct and Juno is exactly where she is at this New Moon, 29'10" Sagittarius on October 30. (While Juno is considered to represent committed relationships, this astrologer sees Juno more as the "other" person, someone involved from outside the committed relationship, check your charts!)

Regardless of the status of a relationship, Juno traveling with Pluto this year suggests that partnerships can be a path to both deeper, more intimate unions and personal awareness. This is the year to transform yourself through your ability to relate on a more intimate level. If tensions come up, think of it as a clue to uncover hidden problems that have come to conscious awareness to be understood, resolved, and released. This can clear the way for deeper love and admiration of someone you love.

ArtCharts Chart Tips
The chart is a graphic representation of where the planets are in the sky in any given moment. The Ascendant moves approximately 1 degree every 4 minutes. This is why you need an exact time of birth to calculate your Ascendant and the location of the planets in your chart.

The angles are like doors and windows. Whatever is closest to the angles is what you notice first and most about a person or event. It's what stands out. Not everything important stands out.

So look at your chart and the chart of your friends again. Look at WHERE the planets are located.

If you look at a chart and you see clusters of planets, or even one planet, near a thick line, or angle, this means the themes of that planet are more likely to be obvious to others. It is often the individuals with the outer, or generational, planets near the angles that stand out in their generation.
