Our new lunar month begins with the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in courageous, impulsive (sidereal) Aries on Monday, April 28th at 8:56 am (Los Angeles), 2:15 am (New York ~ April 29), 7:15 am (London) and 6:15 pm (Sydney) (convert to your timezone).
Mars, ruler of Aries is currently retrograde in (sidereal) Virgo. We are revisiting issues in relation to our own motivation and empowerment, action and motivation ~ the "drives that drive us" ~ primal impulses and desires.
The Mars retrograde through Virgo offers a wonderful opportunity to hone our skills and refine our daily habits with an emphasis on healthier routines, exercise, nutrition, getting organized and finding more rewarding ways to be of service in our lives and in our community. It's always a personal choice, and one well worth reviewing and looking into now.
We now exit the two-week Eclipse portal that we've been moving through since our Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse two weeks ago with the Solar Eclipse at our New Moon.
The Sun and Mercury finally met in superior conjunction this past Friday evening, with new ideas likely to be rising into your conscious awareness and communication finally emerging from behind the scenes and behind closed doors and back out into the open once again.
The past two months as well, have been a time of lots of inner reflection and realizations since our February 2013 Mercury Retrograde. Now it's time to integrate the wisdom gained and put those ideas into action.
At our New Moon, we find the Sun, Moon and Mercury traveling side by side in Aries.
Venus, just moved into mystical, compassionate (sidereal) Pisces, having completed her journey through the ideals and ideas of "group-think" (sidereal) Aquarius this weekend.

We are still feeling the energy of the mutable Grand Cross involving Jupiter, in chatty, changeable, youthful (sidereal) Gemini, Retrograde Mars in organized and analytical, health and service-oriented (sidereal) Virgo, Retrograde Pluto in the truth-seeking beliefs and expansive horizons of the Zen Archer, (sidereal) Sagittarius and Uranus in the mystical imaginarium of (sidereal) Pisces as we move into the New Moon Phase and open a new chapter.
Hang in there, life is transforming in a myriad of ways. Take time to tune within, listen to your Heart and create the quiet space that allows answers and solutions to arise into your conscious awareness

The new moon is a time of new beginnings and new directions. A time for planting new seeds of growth. Each new moon creates a transition to a new story or adds an unfolding chapter to an existing story.
What we begin now will reach a climax during the full moon later this month.
This is the perfect time to go within, meditate, contemplate, journal and do dream work.
Visualize where you are headed – both spiritually and emotionally. Empty out and clear away the old to make room for the new emerging energies. Reclaim your life and release the things that limit your progress.
Allow old wounds and patterns to surface to be consciously acknowledged and released. This is a painful but necessary part of healing and growth.
It is important to let go of any limiting or restricting thought patterns that you are harboring. If they are not released, they will definitely limit the potential of this month’s journey.
If plans are lined up to be carried out – begin them now. If the future still feels unclear, take advantage of this quiet time to create space and allow new possibilities to emerge.
Try and remember, this is a transitional time, and things cannot be hurried. The seeds of tomorrow are germinating and require tender care and patience. Sending you wishes for an amazing journey this month.
