2020 New Moon Aries Forecast \\ Cosmic Overview [April 22 – May 6]
On Earth Day, April 22, 2020, the moon is reborn in sidereal Aries. And boom! The cosmos sends a much-needed blast of hopeful motivation. Celestially speaking, every new moon brings fertile ground for sowing seeds. But the desire for collective renewal will be stronger than usual this spring. Nature is in full bloom as the new moon conjuncts Uranus. The planet of revolution: frequent spontaneous change, innovation, individuality, and freedom. When Uranus conjuncts this new moon we feel the spirit of revolution to our core. But a revolution of the soul will be necessary if we are to gain more than just a fleeting cure for our deepest pain, worry, and fears.
The epicenter of this new moon is Ashwini nakshatra, the first nakshatra of the zodiac. This placement holds the energy of swift restoration and genesis. According to Classical Muhurta, the ultimate result of properly channeling the energy of Ashwini nakshatra is the “world becomes free from disease.” Considering humanity’s current focus this sounds extremely promising. But remember astrology is like a weather forecast. It depicts the metaphysical conditions for a specific geographic location during a period of time. Astrology also provides guidance to help us generate heartfelt results in our lives, communities, and beyond using these conditions. The combination of a new moon conjunct Uranus in Ashwini nakshatra brings an opportunity for spontaneous liberation and revival. If harnessed properly, we could take a giant step closer to eradicating what plaques our world.
These cosmic conditions are nudging us to make something tangible that has been percolating in our consciousness for a while. Maybe since or even before Uranus entered sidereal Aries in April 2017. You may have fantasized about it. Even spent time developing aspects of it. But for some reason it never quite took hold deep enough within you to fully manifest. Often, intense pressure is required for revolutionary change. Fortunately, the recent shift in energy is the right kind of pressure to do it and start making tangible what you yearn for at a soul level. After last eclipse season (Dec 26th – Jan 10th) our material reality was surprisingly pressured to the point of breaking. The most notable celestial event thereafter being a rare satellitium of planets. Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto aligned in sidereal Capricorn. Creating an intense pressure cooker. This made it impossible to ignore the changes we needed to make. Especially to business operations, governmental structures, social standards, and even the aspirations we strive for in life. This Capricorn satellitium squares the new moon. Indicating this transit is applying direct force to help align us with a reimagined self. One who is unafraid to do it: the soulful revolutionary work of an Ashwini new moon conjunct Uranus.
Some of us have been itching to make these types of changes WAY before 2020. But the cosmic energy was not right. Not until recently. Don’t break out the champagne yet people! We’re just beginning a very long, deep, and avant-garde transformation. The pressure and upheavals to come, in one area of your life, will swing from moments of almost unbearable intensity to mild discomfort over the next couple of years as an exalted Saturn transits sidereal Capricorn conjunct Pluto with a debilitated Jupiter. Pluto will continue to dredge up the bedrock of our structures for challenging, but necessary, examination over the next 15 years. The upheaval from Pluto will begin to feel ‘normal’ when Saturn departs Capricorn in 2022. Understanding the impact of the current satellitium in sidereal Capricorn will be important to making the most of the next two years. What area of life you, as an individual, are asked to focus on is based on the placement of this planetary transit in your birth chart. For greater insight use your ascendant to determine which house contains sidereal Capricorn or consult a professional Jyotish astrologer.
This new moon, conjunct Uranus in Ashwini nakshatra, brings the opportunity for spontaneous liberation and revival. Making a quantum leap toward eradicating a serious bane in our existence is very possible during this lunar cycle. But soulful and revolutionary action are necessary if we are to overcome. Energetically align yourself with the cosmic current to help you determine your specific work as this month’s cosmic opportunities unfold. To do this simply hold intention in your heart and use a spiritual practice that speaks to you (ex. prayer, yoga, meditation, or divination) during the coming celestial events. A list of notable celestial events can be found in the highlights section below. Hopefully, you will find the optimism and courage you need to re-engineering the material structures in your life to support your new reality. Om, shanti, shanti, shanti.
