This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on March 24, 2020, 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.
A very important turning point in the first quarter of 2020
We can see that since the Full Moon of last March 09, with the resumption of direct Mercury, many things have accelerated, the stellium of Capricorn tends to concentrate enormously on a few degrees (Pluto / Saturn / Jupiter), and the planet Mars, which is also the ruler of this new moon in Aries, is also added to form in a way the detonator of this configuration !
As much to say that it is very powerful and can conceal an important part of violence, according to where this stellium is implanted in your birth chart, what it touches, what these planetary energies imply by Rulerships, there is a breaking charge which can be very important…
Much of this energy will tend to be expressed within the social and professional sphere more likely, given the forces involved there may be a notion of both “crisis” but also a need for reform.
We see here that Saturn is beginning to make an incursion into Aquarius, the first decan of this sign may begin to be more particularly sensitized by this transit (so especially if your Sun or Moon are here), the planet still squarely colliding with Uranus Taurus, we can easily guess the “rubbing’s frictions” that can operate between these forces.
Saturn represents a structuring energy, channeling, and stabilizing, of securing, while the planet Uranus represents forces of emancipation but which can also imply taking risks !
And it just seems that a large part of this new moon configuration incites us to take risks, to be daring, to try, to undertake. We know that the Aries archetype is propelled directly by the Martian Fire, and the new moon forms a square to the lunar nodes, all that can be valued over the period…
It is not excluded that the configuration “produces breakage” besides, it can imply some karmic turns which require to turn pages more frankly.
We can see that the Black Moon and Chiron transits are particularly valued in the sky by the new moon, which can be translated differently in the chart of each one according to the implications of these forces in the natal, let’s say to summarize that the luminaries can come to highlight certain parts of wounds or fears, and also ask for sublimations…
Several interpreting translations are possible for the overall forces of the period :
- One can have the audacity to produce the necessary change that has been smoldering for months…
- One can refuse to continue to suffer things and revolt…
- One can seek to refocus on one’s deeper ideals, on one’s vocation…
Note that we see an interesting trine to exploit also between Venus and Mars, which can indicate for example support from the emotional partner, or more simply that our desires, our forces of action, and attraction, will be in harmony and will all pull in the same direction, helping to focus on what is valuable.
All the Cardinal signs are particularly sensitized during this period (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), and probably all the decans.
It is likely that the entire increasing phase of the lunation, i.e. until the full moon on april 8, 2020, will be devoted to the conquest of freedom and that a large part of the tensions in this direction will be expressed there.
From the full moon onwards, the Venus / Mars trine tends to tighten up and last for the medium term and the whole end of the lunation, which is always a good thing to take…
But one will have to watch what may happen on the emotional side during this period, as it may also have ramifications later on with the Venus retrograde in Gemini from mid-May onwards.
