CAPRICORN MOON SQUARE THE ARIES SUN DEMANDS RESPONSIBLE—NOT RECKLESS—ACTION!
We’re right now still in the waning stages of the Pisces New Moon monthly lunar cycle which began on March 18. That’s until we hit the Aries New Moon, which will occur on April 17 at 27’29” degrees of Aries at 4:52 am PT & 7:52 am ET next Friday, April 17.
Between now & then, however, we’re dealing still with the mission to grow into feeling greater empathy for our fellow humans. Challenged at the Libra Full Moon on April 1 to release any tendency toward going it alone by shunning the advice or support of allies, this waning third quarter square—known as a “crisis in consciousness”—relates to the tension between acting impulsively & understanding our responsibility to others.
Therefore, the Saturn-ruled Capricorn Moon, which represents “the people” in mundane astrology, now demands a stop to the unbridled, impatient, impetuous choices & actions made by the Mars-ruled Aries Sun (the leader) without consideration of the opinions or advice of its partners.
The Saturn-ruled Capricorn Moon also archetypally represents of “the judge,” the symbol of wisdom & justice. So, it’s now at this third quarter waning lunar “crisis in consciousness” square that people are more consciously judging the consequences--& wisdom--of such a leader’s actions.
That’s because it’s now abundantly clear the U.S. acted independently of its NATO allies by waging war with Israel against Iran. And that such actions have proven impulsive, lacked strategic insight or well-defined achievable goals, & did not include not well thought out possible negative consequences.
We are now at the point where people are demanding that the U.S. (& Israel by extension, since both are led by leaders who favor violent retribution rather than negotiation) sit down & act more responsibly. Especially since this is in keeping with the current month’s lunar cycle’s message of empathy.
This third quarter square late on April 9/early April 10 was preceded by Mars’ entrance into its own sign of Aries on April 9, so let me say a word or two about Mars in Aries. While Mars’ entrance into its own sign of Aries increases the risk of impulsive action, it reminds us also of what are the highest & best uses of Mars’ energies.
And that—given that Mars’ positive attributes include motivation, ambition, & assertion—the best use of Mars’ energies relate to being motivated to come to the defense of, & protect, those weaker & less able to do so for themselves.
Because the choice is always up to us, we can opt for hasty decisions that further our recklessness, or ones that are tempered by realizing negotiation doesn’t mean surrender; rather it means the balancing of interests between parties.
Given the general theme of the Pisces New Moon monthly lunar cycle as it wanes this week, we might understand that the upcoming Aries New Moon will give us the opportunity to do just that BECAUSE we’ve not grown those seeds of empathy for our fellow humans into a healthy enough plant by April 17.
We’ll talk more about that next week. However, right now we can see that this week brings--in addition to Mars entrance into Aries until he moves into Venus-ruled Taurus May 18—a plethora of Aries energy including the Sun, Saturn, Neptune, & Mars.
That this will increase as the week goes on to include Mercury’s move into Mars-ruled Aries on April 14, which may well create additional bombastic rhetoric for those who are already martially inclined.
Implications include those who like to talk a lot—including those in power such as the U.S. Congress, which has a lot to consider as they return from their two-week recess on April 13, just after the Mars/Neptune conjunction in Aries late April 12/early April 13, depending on your time zone.
Together, we’ve got a recipe for potential deceit by those who insist on rhetoric that feeds into what some of us may want to hear, but which lacks actual facts. In short, we’re cautioned to be “careful of people who appeal to you through your favorite ideals or delusions and then take you for a ride,” as astrologer Rob Hand describes this aspect in his book “Planets In Transit.”
By April 16 when the Sun conjoins wounded healer Chiron in Aries we may begin to see how our actions have wounded others, & how this annual cycle may allow us to promote healing—for both ourselves & others
Also that day we have Mars in Aries sextiling Pluto in Aquarius, & we may see new plans replace old ones in ways that provide the opportunity for developing a clearer objective. That’s probably most likely if we take this sextile’s opportunity to engage in negotiations rather than trying to use it as an opportunity to gain more power over our opponents.
When Mercury conjoins Neptune in Aries late April 16/early April 17, it will be more important than ever for us to rely on our critical thinking capabilities in order to discern between fact & fiction. While good for creative insights & artistic expressions—especially of the more subtle kind—this aspect a lack of honesty making any kind of negotiations & communication unclear & confusing in nature.
That this is what will lead to the Aries New Moon April 17 can be seen also in the fact that there is bound to be a lot of frustration building between now & April 19 when Mars conjoins with Saturn in Aries.
That’s an aspect that denotes feeling like one is banging one’s head against a brick wall. In Aries, it’s particularly frustrating, which is likely the situation as the Aries New Moon begins a new monthly lunar cycle on April 17 as this Mars/Saturn energy is waxing.
