New Moon in Aries 2022 (Mercury Cazimi + Conj Chiron)
Plot Twist: the new moon phase isn’t the best time to set intentions; rather it’s when the moon begins to gain light #GASP
This Aries New Moon is fiery, healing & communicative. a beautiful time to reclaim your power & light up your ambitions. It apexes at 1:25am CST (2:25am EST/11:25pm PST)
Now, before you jump into setting your New Moon Intentions, let yourself RECEIVE THE RENEWAL
When the Moon is renewing, it's completely dark. Think of a void space🖤
The Moon is Renewing & so can you
— Chani Nicholas,
The New Moon Phase is often connected to the bleeding part of a menstrual cycle- think of the nurturing, care & rest many ppl desire during this time. It's private, internal, shedding...before the re-emergence.
If you’ve got placements from 10-15 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn - this New Moon & Mercury Cazimi is impacting you the most directly.
QUESTION: When is the best time to set New Moon intentions?
ANSWER: Generally, when the Moon begins gaining in light, and begins peeking thru after sunset 🌙 #WaxingCresent (this way your intentions + ritual are infused with growth & light!)
Specifically, for this Aries New Moon, Saturday April 2nd is potent for intention setting with Mercury Cazimi (at the heart of the Sun)! Annnd, Monday/Tuesday next week when moon’s waxing in Gemini!
Now let’s delve deeper into this unique sygyzy.
Mercury is conjunct the Sun this weekend. When it perfects on Saturday 4/2 at ~6:11pm CST (7:11pm EST/4:11pm PST) — it’ll be at the heart of the Sun: renewing, rebirthing, preparing to re-emerge on the other side of the sun. This is called a Cazimi ☀️❤️🔥 (Mercury is shifting from being a Morning Star to an Evening Star - if you like stargazing, it’ll be visible around sunset from April 18th until May 10th, when it stations retrograde #yup #again #lol)
Mercury is connected to writing, communicating & thinking, so on Saturday, your intentions fiery + potent, straight from the heart.
Look at the planets & houses in your chart where you have Gemini & Virgo to see what areas of life are rebirthing (if you’re an Aries, Gemini or Virgo rising, hint: it’s you that’s stepping into the fire)
Once Mercury completes the Cazimi, it’ll be combust, which may feel like the exhaustion after a sprint 🏃🏾♀️💨 take intentional time to rest! (it’ll be over by Sunday 4/3 ~5:11pm CST once Mercury is more than a degree away from the Sun) AND with Mars + Saturn conjunction on Monday 4/4…yeah, exhaustion is in the air. (Mars hits the accelerator, Saturn hits the breaks - listen to the yield + stop signs, expect road bumps & be mindful of pressure exploding or air blowing up)
Oh yes, last but not least, Chiron is also conjunct the New Moon + Mercury Cazimi. Chiron represents wisdom, wounds, healing, pain, compassion, mentorship, stewardship. Expect some tender feels & perhaps old wounds coming back up. ❤️🩹 I know I’ve been feeling a lil emo this week. If you have been too, thats’s why! Remember, healing is a spiral. You’re not regressing, rather themes are re-emerging for lessons to integrate even deeper. Celebrate & soak in your growth!
Let your voice be reborn & re-emerge
& Be bold, boo. Aries likes that shit ♈️❤️
That’s my new moon message for y’all! Take a moment to breathe it in, let it land, step into the void 🖤🌚 Share it with your friends, clients & audience.
ps. If you're into setting intentions, I highly recommend you do so during Aries season...because when we enter Taurus season on 4/20, it'll be eclipse season & that’s not the time to set big intentions or da all the manfiesting...cuz its energy can be volatile & unpredictable!
(Last year, on a Gemini eclipse, I kept trying make something happen...and the event got canceled, lol! During Eclipse szn, when the universe sees you tryna co-create and/or control the outcome...it flips it n reverses it *cue Missy Elliott*)
Eclipses are where Fate steps in, takes over & ushers in change. Basically, they’re about surrender & letting the story unfold organically!
But that’s 20 days away, hehe, I’ll share more about Taurus szn as it gets closer!
Until then…Set your delicious intentions with the growing light of the moon!
& as always, have a yummy day
— Love, Neha Jha💌
