*NEW MOON* in Aries begins a brand new cycle and heralds the beginning of the astrological year with the Sun having moved into Aries on the Equinox!

Aries is the fire starter within each of us who creates fire by friction, and blows forth the flame that sparks the beginning of something wild, elemental, essential and new.

That spark of creation is a gift we can all catalyze, but we must learn to use our fire wisely, and handle it with respect and reverence. Conducted in the right way, it can be a force for great transformation and creative ingenuity.

There’s a wildness that wants to be expressed, a flame within each of us that needs to be kindled. With conscious love, patience and careful tending to our inner fire, we can allow it to burn bright!

Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights from our beloved featured guiding lights. First from astrologer ELAINE KALANTARIAN from her Blue Moon Astrology:

“New Moon falls in Aries, a sign ruled by passionate Mars and associated with this very same quest to bravely develop ourselves as true individuals — to answer the call of our own singular, unique nature and its deeper desires.

“In the course of our demanding lives, in the necessary compromises and challenges of our intimate and work relationships, we too often neglect this, yet it is an important responsibility we have to ourselves.

“This Aries concept of personal integrity — wholeness — is a critical theme right now with the New Moon conjoined Venus, just past her own ‘New’ phase marked by the conjunction to the Sun only yesterday…”

“This particular New Moon, coinciding with the midpoint of Venus’s reevaluation retrograde project on all matters of the heart, and preceding a Venus-ruled Libra Full Moon, the cosmic task over this next lunar month is to pay close attention to key relationship challenges and insights that come up.

“Where do you most need to ‘shore up’ the self? strengthen your fortresses, and face where you have perhaps sacrificed too much autonomy and personal integrity in the quest for peace and harmony, love and partnership?

“And conversely, where you are being too selfish and inconsiderate, not flexible enough, not available and supportive enough for the people you love? Aries and Libra are polar signs, and they challenge us to find a healthier balance in this crucial give-and-take dance. What direction does this Aries-Libra fulcrum point need to shift in your life?

“Astrologer Isabel Hickey wrote, ‘From the universal standpoint, Aries is the first impulse of the life force into activity, the descent of the Divine Spark into manifestation. Wherever Aries is placed in your horoscope is where you, as Spirit, begin to operate.’…We all have the courage to face the dragons that rear up in our lives.”

We are having a New Moon in Aries on March 27th-28th, depending on where you are located in the world. The first sign of the zodiac, Aries always initiates a new season at the Equinox. Therefore, this New Moon is what really kickstarts the astrological New Year each year, and the initiating energy of Aries.

Aries is the pioneering energy of the zodiac. It is forward moving, fast, direct, and likes to take the lead. As the first sign of the zodiac, it is also associated with 'birth' following the dreamy and spiritual sign of Pisces. At this time of year we generally start to feel more alive and willing to take action and/or possibly explore new territory.

One thing that we need to be cautious of regarding Aries energy is being impulsive without considering consequences or others, or missing important details because we haven't thought things through. This is something to consider with Mercury retrograde coming up, as all of this combined is a recipe for overlooking things. However, Aries' ruler, Mars, being in Taurus can help us to be more thorough about physical actions.

Considering that Aries is an active sign, and that its ruler Mars is in the physically-oriented Taurus (with Venus also retrograde), this can be a good time for many people to consider exercising more if they feel that they want to improve their appearance. Also, as Aries is more oriented toward self-interests, those who have been overly caught up in relationship considerations or codependencies may feel like this is a time to apply yourself more independently in certain areas of your life to bring in more balance. This is also supported by Venus and Mercury in the same sign currently in retrograde windows with Mercury opposing Jupiter in Libra.

Dear Friends,

Pull yourself inward today and focus on the details that need attention. Our heads surface briefly out of the emotional watery soup that is supporting the deep surrender of old baggage.

We may feel worn out with the process and exhausted by our own resistance. It is time to take a breath, take stock, acknowledge what has been surrendered and see what pieces are left. What are the next steps you need to take to keep the momentum going? There may be truth involved and there is definitely a need for trust.   Get help if you need it and make sure you are around people you love during this time. Your energy levels may be up and down so listen to your body and rest if you need to, take a break if you need to, work hard if you need to and blow off some steam if you need to.

We have an interesting but challenging blend of the instinctive center being activated by deep survival issues and the higher intellectual center pushing us to expand our sense of what is possible and to be inspired by the potential. You may feel slightly disoriented as these two expressions fight for the front seat. This is why taking care of the body and nurturing yourself is so important at this time but don’t forget to also be inspired by expansion, possibility and potential. Be a bit spontaneous and try something new.

Blessings,
Lena

Here is the always illuminating LENA STEVENS from The Power Path.com with her channelled guidance for MARCH 2017:

“SURRENDER is a word that tends to trigger a definition of failure as if we are surrendering to the enemy and as if we have failed in something we believed in and have been striving for.

“Our definition of SURRENDER for the month is a giving up, a release of a stance, position, or belief that we have stubbornly held onto for way beyond its useful and practical life.

“It is time to let go of what should have been, could have been and what ought to be in the future.

“It is time to SURRENDER our anger, our resistance, our judgement and our need to know.

“SURRENDER is an act of power that takes the reins away from the false personality and hands them over to essence.

Dear Friends,

This is our second eclipse this month bookending a very potent time of Change. Take some time to reflect on Change and how it has moved energy for you this month.
Where might you still feel stagnant and unmoving? What are you still attached to? What is causing you grief right now in your life? Relationships? Work? Health? Projects?

This eclipse/new moon day provides an excellent container for a permanent shift and turning point for something in your life that needs a major change. Look truthfully at your life and commit to living in more love and compassion.  

It is not useful to feel guilt, remorse, blame or judgment. Just get out a paper and pen and rewrite your intentions and recommit to the changes you know you need to support. And remember there is great freedom in cutting something loose that no longer serves.

Blessings,

Lena Stevens
