NEW MOON IN ARIES:
The New Moon falls on Tuesday March 24th at 5:28 A.M. EST at 4 degrees Aries 12 minutes. This is the first New Moon of the New Year. Aries is the sign most associated with initiating beginnings and restarting whatever has been stalled. That may mean that we will see some turnaround in our current situation. It looks like congress will finally agree upon a stimulus package and that may be good news for the markets and somewhat for many Americans. But I’m not convinced that it is a magic bullet and will cure all our ills in the short run. We could jump start this market crash and see the equities rise rapidly in what we would call a bear market rally. Is it really going to be a complete reversal and the end of our economic turmoil? I think that’s a bit overly optimistic and unrealistic.
We are still in the midst of a worldwide recession that isn’t going away just because the rich nations print more money. And let’s face it, that’s exactly what this will be. We are added trillions of dollars to our nation debt, as is Europe, England, Japan, China etc.: Spending money on our credit cards that will have to be repaid at some point. There are long-term underlying issues that have not been addressed as we have been consumed with the problem of contending with the virus. It’s mankind’s nature to move past any serious problem and want to return to normalcy as quickly as possible. But with the astrology showing another problem, or an extension of the same one occurring in 2021, I question whether that philosophy will work this time. But we should be hopeful nonetheless, just not complacent or fool hearted.
On a personal level this is a good time to begin a new project or take an ongoing one to a new level. Aries energy does tend to be optimistic and forward moving, and if you weaned your garden of those issue that had outlived their usefulness as the Pisces period ended, you should have the time, energy and resources to try something new and innovative now. So don’t ignore the problems that still exist, try to find new solutions and fix them, or they will come back to haunt you another day. But let’s be optimistic, open-minded, resourceful, and look ahead to what we can do. It’s one thing to look over your shoulder at the past, it’s quite another to step back into the quicksand you just got out of. Try to find the balance between the two. This is a New Year, astrologically speaking, and we should approach it with an open heart and a positive attitude.
