Energize Your Life Purpose:
The Aries New Moon

This New Moon in Aries contains more potency than I’ve seen in a long time. This special “potency” is a type of concentrated power with great potential.

Aries potency propels activity forward. This is focused power that’s been concentrated  for a specific purpose. In one sense, it’s a cosmic boost of pure potential just waiting to be used.

This cosmic boost of the New Moon in Aries is about providing the thrust you’ll need to move forward this year. It is always advantageous to get off you a good start in any endeavor and this coming year is no exception. The potency available should successfully jump-start all your new projects, new ideas, new relationships, and even new intuitive abilities, including ways you can relate to the universe as cosmic consciousness.

Now that you’re aware of the tremendous potency of the of the New Moon energies, two important questions come to mind.

• First, if this potency is concentrated for a purpose, how do you determine what that purpose is?
• Second, what’s the best way to release all this potent potential?

Clarifying Your Purpose

Every astrological cycle begins with a purpose. The same is true of each individual person. Everyone begins life with a unique life purpose. As your consciousness develops from a youth into an adult, life takes on meaning and significance and your purpose begins to unfold. As the desires of your youth undergo their natural maturing process, a deeper understanding develops around your activities and how they relate to your purpose in your life. At some point in life your purpose provides an outlet and a context for your desires. This helps you move forward in greater alignment through the integration of your life’s purpose with your desires.

The potency discussed earlier contains the activating power needed to energize your actions and desires in alignment with your core purpose. As you continue with this article, it will become clearer how to use the potency of this New Moon to propel your own unique purpose forward.

Releasing Your Potential

The planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars are offering key insights into how to release your potency and work with your unique life purpose during this New Moon phase.

Mars and Venus are working together to provide a substantial influx of harmonizing energies to help you make sense of all this available potency. This will be through a heightened receptivity to your positive life’s desires (Venus). At the same time, Mars is providing you with a new-found assertiveness to act on those desires. Relationships in general will also have a new ease that supports this process.

During the next week, things may feel somewhat impulsive or spontaneous, but it’s not random. More likely, the universe is providing you the potency to activate a new level of purposeful activity. If you’re uncertain about the spontaneity of new opportunities, key into the feelings of the moment. Ask yourself: “Do I feel the eagerness of moving forward in life, or am I playing it safe by retreating in the comfort of the old and familiar?”

The powerful energy of Aries can trigger fear, but Aries also contains an abundance of courage. This courage is easily be tapped into when you’re moving forward. If you’re feeling insecure, like it’s important to “play it safe”, consider that you may be rationalizing your own fear of moving forward.

Astrological Details

These harmonizing energies of Venus and Mars are being freed up with the help of Mercury. Mercury’s function in this case is to sort through past actions and beliefs, especially those which surfaced during the previous month. This is a time to identify and discard what’s unnecessary. Ask, “What’s holding me back from fully embracing my life purpose?” Pay specific attention to any ways you have organized your daily life around habits and dogmatic rules which have lost their vitality and are naturally void of any personal meaning.

Moving forward now requires following the momentum of this concentrated Aries New Moon power. Releasing old habits and crystallized or dogmatic attitudes opens up your consciousness to receive new intuitive guidance.

This New Moon is a critical point in this year’s cycle. The energies signify that there is a quickening of Spirit which is available to your consciousness, but only if you are receptive to a new direction.

What this Means for You

To experience success, nurture the feeling that your life can benefit from a new infusion of energy. Be available to the cosmic support of a new boost of potency. In Aries, there is a new sense of happiness that comes from the larger vision of your whole life. All you must do is act on the opportunities that come your way.

Venus and Mars are working together this week to create an ease in expressing yourself in your relationships with others. The key to relationships this week is in keeping them dynamic. Practice both give and take. If you can be both receptive to what others need and at the same time be assertive in areas where everyone benefits, then your relationships will provide inner growth and fulfillment as you move forward.

Moving forward means letting go of all the little ways in which you unconsciously live your live by dogmatic rules. This New Moon will offer potency to propel you forward in a more meaningful life direction, but only through your conscious choice of purposeful action. As you replace dogmatic rules with your own unique requirements for purpose and meaning in your life, fulfillment and happiness will grow from within.

This is a powerful New Moon. Feel the momentum surrounding you. It’s just waiting for your go-ahead, and then you’ll be included in the flow. The intentions you set during this powerful time can propel you to new heights, new personal growth, and a life with more confidence, meaning, and purpose.

• Manifest through your relationships. In your conversations, listen and provide support, and also ask for what you need. Communicate your eagerness about the big picture possibilities for you and others! These connections will support your inner feeling of ease and fulfillment.
