Aries Season begins with the Spring Equinox on Mar 20. The very next day, the sun squares the perceptive moon in Cancer. The moon rules Cancer, so she is “at home” here.

The waxing first quarter is when we decide what to carry forward from the new lunar cycle. Quarter phases help clarify our plans.

At this station, we let the heart guide. This phase is about fusing action (Aries) with intuition (Cancer). Seek wise emotional council and balance impulsive Aries with tender Cancer. Before acting, run your plans by the heart. Sit with discomfort and ask yourself difficult questions. Life feels rushed and uncertain. Our hearts are heavy with feelings. Listen. Observe closely to see whether your actions can be executed according to your intentions.

At this quarter moon last year, I was too distracted to work. In retrospect I see now that my intuition was tugging on my consciousness in a powerful way, urging me not to accept a teaching position which would ultimately destroy my mental health.

This moon phase coincides with the first day of Venus in Aries, as well as a trine between Mars in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius. This influence brings deep contentment and pride in our accomplishments.
