Easy as it is to lose our connection to cycles as so many are being disrupted, the new moon offers us all a lifeline. A blessed begin again and fresh start line. In Aries this bold new moon is both initiation and ignition point, a fiery imperative to fan whatever you are flaming about. So you can use this lunation to spark the new or you can take it like a toddler that has been sent to their room. Though a rash of power tantrums are forecast, you still have a choice darklings.

This moon does not arrive unencumbered or without challenges - because 2020 is not kidding around - though they be the kind that shimmer with breakthrough potential as reward for the fearless and Fool-ish. You have time but can you muster the inclination? Aries says fuck yeah and works it out as they go.

Chiron stands shoulder to shoulder in the ram's stomping ground and our echo chamber also gets louder. Shake off modern life, stop the world as it was and who are you? The wounded centaur is here for healing our identity wounds but it remains as impossible as ever to triage anything you refuse to look at.

This tiny yet shiny new moon also tickles its own nodes, as past and future throb uncertainly in our timelines. The eclipses in January would have pinged your personal theatre of cage fighting and set the tone for your escape from its confines. At humanity's tipping point, many things must be left behind us in order to cross the threshold to what comes next. Any old ways or means you'd care to sacrifice on the altar of this new moon gratefully received by a world rebirthing and deep in transition. This is productive pain, the kind that makes sacred of us.

Aries undeniable bravado and chutzpah is what fuels their leadership. Their competitive spirit challenges them to better themselves. They boldly go where others baulk. They raise their voice and the stakes and charge the tower. If ever we could do with a hearty dose of self belief and faith in our future selves it is now. For any of us to get started, it only takes a spark.

Do not wait until conditions are perfect. Beginning makes them perfect
