In Astrology, as we chart the movements of the planets, the Sun gives us the greater context. Consider that Sun literally tracks the Seasons for us.
These broad strokes of light and dark help us orient ourselves in large swaths of time. Is it Spring or Fall? Is it day or night?
The Sun helps us answer. But it is the moon that marks the moment. The moon herself initiates and inaugurates. As the closest planetary body to Earth, her energy is the one that touches us most deeply and in some ways, holds the most power over us.
And so, while we’ve been in Aries Season for weeks now, it’s the New Moon in Aries that truly brings our beginnings to commencement.Aries is sunrise, the start of the day, ripe with possibility.
