This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on April 05, 2019, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Heading for assertiveness !
This New Moon is more an evolutionary pattern of the previous new moon, the same energies have gained in strength, both Neptunian energies, but also karmic energies (the conjunction south node / Pluto is now exact, Saturn is coming fast), we clearly reach here a kind of “apogee”, a turning point, a peak, elements to be purged from the past are more acute, more imperative, the cannonball wind was felt since the beginning of the year…
Mercury has recently resumed direct motion, at the end of march, the planet has insisted a lot on Neptune and is insisting on it again for the last time, but here the mind can be more “productive”, less hesitant; Venus has joined this duo, we still remain on highly developed emotional energies, there may be a notion of sacrifice (the need to devote oneself to the other), including at the emotional level, a lot of idealization may be raised, a part of “faith” also in what is undertaken, may be a notion of “lucky star” or “good vibrations” also felt more strongly, and it is very useful to listen to its intuitive parts…
As always with Neptunian energies, they can raise the most beautiful things (they are found in beautiful creations, including artistic), but also bewilderment, fantasy, illusion (they can accompany madness), as Nietzsche said “Man is a rope stretched over the abyss” each action can make it fall from one side or the other, and the present forces of this lunation illustrate it well.
Having said that, important point, Mars the ruler of this new moon Aries is now in Gemini, a sign where this planet really asks for an exteriorization, facilitates all kind of exteriorization, intellectual curiosity, communication, including for example defending other people (neptune will be able to express himself in this way), this notion of “protection of the other” may be more powerful during this period, as may, for example, investment in the associative domains, in the group, the collective, which may moreover produce a certain écartement with the Aries’ more individualistic forces.
In this beginning of 2019, the new moons have much valued transpersonal energies (pluto, neptune), and the Sun now joins Uranus in its race, very nervous, dynamic, violent energies, and which have an important duality with the self-assertion necessary to develop, Aries represents a pivotal time of the year, of the “day-forces awakening” as Dane Rudhyar said (we have just passed the spring equinox, we are rapidly gaining in luminosity), it is the zodiac beginning, allowing different new beginnings, but also requiring from now on perhaps to put in place more “individualism” (radiating in the group, but personally, for its qualities).
The most concerned in the current Transits configuration are all the natives of the 2nd decans in whom there can be a particular resonance.
The full moon of April 19 2019 directly underlines the Uranus energies, the Sun being conjoint to it, Aries is also invested by the transits of Mercury and soon of Venus, Chiron is moreover underlined by these passages, all this reinforces what I have just said on the level of self-affirmation, there can be a significant breaking load, the need for “enlightenment” (or the fact of living a “revelation”), for recognition, to take social risks, also to achieve greater independence, autonomy, Aries natives are globally extremely valued by all this lunation…
