NEW MOON IN ARIES REDEFINING THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE April 16th, 2018-Simon & Jennifer Vorster
In the past few months we have been through an intense process of healing ourselves from the pain of duality and separation, and the deepening of our connection to Oneness. Most recently, the energies of the last lunar cycle invited us to remember our essential needs and align ourselves more closely to our true destiny — a process that simultaneously manifested as discord with many of our current relationships and circumstances, and beckoned us to find the ‘blessings in disguise’ within this feeling of discord.
Now, as we enter the energy reflected by the New Moon in Aries and new lunar cycle it begins, we are invited to let go of past events and circumstances — including our experiences in this lifetime and the ancestral energies we have brought into it — and allow our vibrant selves shape to the way we see the stories of our past instead of allowing the stories of our past to shape how we see ourselves, our lives, and the future for which we are destined.
Let’s look at the energy patterns that are shaping our evolution during this current lunar cycle.
REBIRTH: THE CYCLE OF TRAUMA AND LIBERATION

With the arrival of today’s New Moon in Aries, we can expect to encounter some profound internal emotional changes, most intensely reflected by the planetary alignment of the Sun, the Moon and Uranus in the sign of Aries (a symbol of instinct and new directions).
Uranus’s orbit is an outer planet, beyond Saturn in our solar system, and so is known as a ‘transpersonal’ planet. We feel the effects of this planet’s energy as an arising subconscious or past-life memory that awakens in us through an emotional or psychological trigger — as opposed to the more immediate influence reflected by the inner planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Uranus (representing our process of de-conditioning) also has a dual resonance in that it reflects not only our triggers but also what unique growth patterns exists for us in our lives; how our life purpose plays out. With the New Moon (reflecting emotional awareness) aligning in conjunction with Uranus in Aries, we can expect to become very aware of both of these dynamics in our lives: the subconscious triggers and the patterns of unique growth.
Leading up to today’s New Moon, most of us have felt a deep building up of tension energy which will most likely become released throughout this new lunar cycle. Staying grounded during this time is crucial, as these energies are extremely potent and come with some powerful effects. In essence we have reached a cycle in which are called to action, to release old psychological patterns of behavior that are linked with deep generic conditioning and imprinting.
Being human and living in the human body can be at times tremulously taxing on our consciousness. Our lives are filled with events that are challenging to process and so, we repress those events into our subconscious. The outer plants of Uranus and Pluto have been forming a tension square to each other for the last 7 years, which has brought about a tremendous collective and personal trauma, and liberation. Today’s New Moon signifies the completion of this cycle of trauma and liberation, through which we can now see both sides of what Uranus (transformation) and Pluto (rebirth) have meant for us.
