Aries Moon Mail

Late tonight / early tomorrow morning is the new moon in Aries. Every year, this is our first new moon occurring at the beginning of a new year of astrological seasons, and ushering in a new cycle as we enter spring in the Northern Hemisphere. While the Spring Equinox offers us many beautiful themes of newness and initiation, we might also consider the intensity required for winter to shift into spring. Ground that has been frozen for months and plants and animals that have drawn their energy into hibernation must wake up again and begin the busy task of generating new life. The quality of this task can have a strong and often chaotic nature, given the force that’s needed for these changes to take place. So perhaps this is part of the symbolism for us too – if we are going to break through (from wherever we have been frozen or asleep), it will also require some intensity and chaos, which can be used in service to our greater efforts.

And Aries season this year is loaded with intensity, but we’d expect no less from this initiatory fire sign. The new moon in Aries asks us to be genuine and heartfelt in a world that often prioritizes conformity over authenticity. Some of us are raised to ‘be ourselves’ much more than others, and some of us spend our whole lives wondering what that even means. For many, the idea of ‘being ourselves’ comes with a deep wound, and has been met with great conflict in the world. And there are some who also create this conflict for others, and push back against expressions of difference or individuality.

This new moon is a day for us to be genuine about who we truly are, even if that means admitting ‘I don’t know,’ or having to push back against others. Aries is a sign that teaches us it’s okay to push up against forces that limit individuality or personal freedom, a theme that will continue to rise over the next few years. While at times this may appear reactive, we sacrifice composure in the interest of personal and collective growth. Like the energy of spring, a little chaos helps the world go round, by breaking through old and tired cycles.

The presence of Chiron near this new moon reminds us that merely existing in this world can be a painful thing, and the search for our individual freedoms and permission to express ourselves can be even more painful. These are wounds that may never heal, and perhaps they're not meant to. The passionate drive to continue fighting for human rights, safety for all beings, and personal liberation is a vast fire stoked by the never-ending wounds of humanity. Aries has no interest in peace - it's about the conflict that restores a greater balance to the world. That's something we can all match today.

I am also pleased to be hosting a new workshop next week -

​Jupiter and Neptune The Present Meets the Future

Thursday April 7th
​ 4-6PM EST on Zoom (or receive the recording if you can't attend live)
$35 CAD

Register Here

Join me for a workshop on Jupiter and Neptune as they approach their upcoming conjunction (meeting in the sky). Learn about what Jupiter and Neptune each represent, as well as the meaning behind their planetary cycle and its significance in our cultural and socioeconomic reality. We will examine Jupiter Neptune conjunctions and historical themes from the last century, and address how those themes are present in 2022. This planetary cycle asks us where (and with whom) we belong, and how we determine shared values and meaning. Are oneness and sameness different, or identical concepts?

Workshop participants (or anyone registered in advance) will be able learn about where the conjunction is happening in their individual charts, and how this may impact their lives.
​
All registered participants will receive a recording following the workshop, for those who are not able to attend live.​

About Aerin Fogel

I began this work when I had my core pattern reading, nearly 15 years ago. The reading altered my understanding of the world, and my place in it. It opened my heart to the path I walk now. In the years that followed, and the subsequent readings I had, I found this to always be the truest, most helpful, most empowering, and most loving guidance above anything else. Soon after I began my study of astrology and found it to be a grounding and pragmatic framework that helps us place ourselves in context of our surroundings and life experience. This is what called me into practice as a life path, and into the privilege of sharing this work with others. ​​
