Friday’s early morning new moon in Aries around 7.24 am GMT, at 11°degrees ♈ carries with it the energy of fresh starts and new beginnings, a continuation of the ushering in of the astrological new year energy when the sun made it’s ingress into Aries at the spring Equinox.
This new moon has a stellium of planetary energies in fiery action oriented Aries. With a conjunction formed between the moon, sun and Chiron at 12° and with Mercury hot on the heels at 9° on its way to unite with the sun in the early hours of Sunday for their Cazimi union, the next couple of days could be supercharged, healing and enlightening.
Chiron, known as the wounded healer reveals our emotional wounds and sensitive areas. Whilst in Aries conjunct the sun and moon during this time sensitive elements about ourselves, our sense of self, our ego identity may be brought more to our attention. Possibly highlighting areas that we may need to work on in order to feel better about ourselves. So it’s a good time to utilise some of that natural Aries energy which can give us that ignition/ spark to be able to take on new ventures, self improvement and tackle problems with fresh insights and with a new lease of life and energy.
A possible recurring or niggling health complaint may resurface, requiring also some healing and tending to. And with the impending Sun/ Mercury cazimi on Sunday, maybe fresh insights and new remedies could be revealed in the next couple of days to help treat and bring relief for whatever the ailment maybe be, if that so happens to be the case for anyone. In medical astrology Aries is associated with the head, skull, face, eyes, and adrenal glands. So potential ailments could be to do with headaches, migraines, eye problems, flare ups of a pre existing condition, inflammation, stress, and feeling burnt out.
A ‘cazimi’ occurs when a planet is just over a quarter of a degree near to the sun. It is said to be ‘ in the heart of the sun’ and instead of being consumed and burnt up by the energy of the sun, it is rather strengthened and energised by this close contact. And with Mercury making this close contact with the sun exactly around midnight on the 3rd ( their cazimi contact lasts for 8 hours. 4 hours either side before and after midnight) this is a good time for downloads of great insights to be emitted down to our consciousness here on earth.
Look out for aha moments of sudden understanding about a matter, ideas, messages and revelations coming from all sources, from within and around us. As the cazimi will be taking place at night during normal sleep time, we should pay attention to our dreams that night. And write them down if we remember the dream(s) when we awaken. They may be very significant.
Astrological glyph/ symbol for Chiron. The keys needed for healing and inner awakening
Chiron in mythology was a healer and teacher to both the gods and humanity, and with Mercury and the Sun’s close contact still near to Chiron, themes associated with healing, awakening, being led to a healer, teacher or our own innate healing abilities being activated could be on the cards…
All the best x
