Aries Dark Moon

Our cosmic players are taking their places for tomorrow's firestarter new moon, each adding their gravitas to the deep dark of the balsamic phase. Built as it is - every single month in a row - on letting go, crafting sense of the madness and plucking wisdom from its eyes.

Lady Luna has just entered Aries cloaked in darkness. Here she waits for her impending rebirth just a day away. She has shed the accoutrements of her journey through the houses this month, each having served its divine purpose.

Greeting her in the front hall of the Aries mansion is Chiron. Newly ensconced in the ram's red rooms, he no longer weeps for what once was or marinates in despair. Built on overcoming, learning and teaching, our brilliant centaur is now deep in the study of transmutation. He readies to school us all in alchemising our wounds into wisdom, our greatest scars into hallmarks of endurance and resilience.

No more public wailing or shaming or wearing your damage like a bleeding brooch for all to see. The time is ripe to transform your sense of those experiences into something you can use. Drying those tears and transforming that lead into gold.

This dark moon let go of anything - or anyone - that holds you back from this crucial mission. Do not trifle with what knocked you flat. Just like our beautiful moon, it is all about how you rise darklings and beyond that, how brightly you will shine.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I rise.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
~ Maya Angelou
