🌓 » ♈ First Quarter Moon in Aries Astrology. "As layers of identity, conditioning, life circumstance, and relationships fall away, it is a very normal human response to feel fear of the uncertainty that comes with that. Yet there is such tremendous energetic support, now, to get with the program, feel and acknowledge the fear and resistance, and feed your passion and inspiration for what IS working for you and where you DO want to be and see yourself. Surrendering to big Plutonian energy really can feel like aspects of the self are dying. While this can be painful, it can also be an exquisitely profound and beautiful process. Rather than getting lost or wallowing in the suffering, instead allow yourself time and space to really grieve the parts of your life that are transforming,. "

"May we trust that life is delivering us to our highest good, and actively get on board with that process. And may we be open to life pouring itself through us with all of its passion, inspiration, and deep purpose."

First Quarter Moon in Aries: Bold Alignment with Truth  By Leslie Benson The recent First Quarter Moon, having taken place late evening January 13th/ early morning January 14th, represents an exciting lunation. With the Sun in close conjunction with transformative Pluto, and the Moon in square, personal change is in the air. This phase in any case denotes the time each cycle when the moon is waxing (growing) from dark into light, and comes to the halfway point between the dark of the New Moon and the brightness of the Full Moon. Symbolically this time of the lunar cycle is likened to the phase in a growing cycle when the plant sprouts its first leaves.  The intentions and seeds of vision planted at the New Moon begin to grow, and as they do, effort and will power are required to help move the process into fruition (symbolized by the Full Moon.)  This First Quarter Moon in Aries is potent, in that it falls between the Capricorn Solar Eclipse New Moon of January 5th, and the coming Full Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo/Aquarius on January 20th.  This midway point between eclipses can mark a time when big choices need to be made, and informed, aligned action is ready to be taken.  At this point it is good to stop and take stock of your New Moon Intentions and what is shaping up there, and if you hadn’t set intentions, to look back at the time period from January 5th until now, reflecting on what has transpired, being prepared to go into inquiry about the larger arc of progression that is now taking place in your life. Because Pluto is such a prominent player in this lunation, just two degrees from conjunction with the Sun and his square with the Moon, this powerful factor ratchets up the naturally transformative and heightened energy of eclipse season even more, asking us to lean into the process of change that is happening in our lives, in order to see where we can align with new ways of being that are asking to come through us. We are being challenged to recognize that change is not to be feared, but to instead embrace the possibility of a new dawning that can become available to us as we move beyond our former selves into an entirely new era...
