New Moon in Aries
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Manifesting
According to Star IQ, the new moon in Aries is one of the major launching pads for the astrological year. It’s a time of risk taking and exploration, when looking ahead is more important than standing still. This lunation is colored by questions of selfworth and fears of economic contraction. However, the bright spirit of Aries is a reminder that we have the power to act positively and bring desirable changes into our lives.
This sounds like a fabulous cycle and it can be, however you must be willing to give something up in order to be able to manifest and experience everything this time has to offer.
In the northern hemisphere we have just stepped into spring. Spring time is a great time to clean out the old stuff that we no longer need. This is the time to dump the contents of your closet (both your actual closet and your emotional one) to see what you can let go of and perhaps you’ll find treasures that have been hidden away for a while.
As you work through your emotional cleanup, think about what thoughts, beliefs, and attachments you can now dump. Attachment to how things were, should have been, should be now, what you should have done, what others should have done, what you or others should be doing now. Each of these aspects keeps you stuck in the past instead of living in the present moment.
It is easy to keep your head looking backward with regret and blame; looking for ways to fix or patch it up. But if you’re looking back at the past, you will never see the opportunities of the future.
Spring is a time to say goodbye to the past and look forward at the opportunities opening in front of you. Some of these opportunities may not fit the picture of what you thought in your mind, but take note and try on new opportunities to see if it fits.
The changes may be subtle. Simply learn to observe yourself. Are your perceptions different? Are you responding differently? Are resources opening up? See what’s happening on a micro level that impacts your overall results.
To prepare for the manifesting, write down a list of goals or intentions you want to attract or issues you want to release during the lunar cycle. After the cycle is over, review your old list crossing off goals achieved and file it, then begin a new list for the new cycle. To maintain balance in your life, look at goals on several different levels including financial, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physically.
