New Lunar Cycle Begins ~ Easter's New Moon east–left, west–right, north–top, south–bottom
Reflections ~ The New Moon of Easter
The New Moon of Easter occurs this year during the sign of the World Savior, Pisces. The energies of this sign fuse the soul and form producing the Incarnated Christ, the fully liberated Divine Human Being, the Light of the World, the Risen One. With every New Moon our soul goes into meditation; a potential is enlivened and a seed of consciousness is formed deep within. Take some time to create a sacred space. A new cycle is beginning. Reflections ~ New Moon, Aquarius, Uranus The New Moon and Sun lie in the constellation Aquarius and are in conjunction with the planet Uranus. The Moon is in exact aspect with this planet just a couple of hours after the lunar cycle begins and the Sun on the following day.
The constellation Aquarius is one of supreme importance to our solar system at this time. We are at the "dawning of the age of Aquarius," when our Sun after 2000 years will leave the constellation Pisces and reside in the constellation Aquarius at the time of the vernal equinox.
Uranus evokes the freedom urge and shakes us loose from constrictions, ultimately leading us to inclusiveness. Its nature excites, uproots and awakens humanity.
The very old and very new are at odds creating an extreme tension on the planet. As this lunar cycle begins, change is not only emphasized but a sure thing with the location of the Moon, Sun and Uranus in Aquarius. Reflections ~ New Moon, Pisces, Pegasus The New Moon, Sun and Uranus travel across the heavens in the company of the Circlet of Pisces and Pegasus the Flying Horse. We are reminded that the cycles of the human condition take us in and out of the mental, emotional and physical realms. Again and again we refine the vehicles for the manifestation of soul and spirit. Turning darkness into light and evil into good, we experience evolution resulting in progress.
Reflections ~ Capricornus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury At the time of the New Moon we find we find Venus, Neptune and Mercury at the eastern border of Capricornus. This constellation carries the seeds of death for the present material life and awakens one to the higher frequency of spirit, initiating a new cycle of earthly effort. Neptune in this constellation inspires one to make their dreams a reality by rebuilding structures or creating new ones. Venus in Capricornus creates cohesive, sustaining interconnections on Earth that make Love aligned with the Will of God a physical reality. Mercury positioned in this constellation intelligently relates the spiritual Self with the individual living in the outer world. Venus and Mercury are both positioned in Capricornus through March 10. For most of this lunar cycle they transit the constellation Aquarius, while Neptune remains in Capricornus. The Aquarian theme of group awareness, moving toward the ONE, is pronounced by the Venus / Mercury transit through this constellation. Venus in Aquarius powerfully distributes Love-Wisdom within our world, forming a realization of the inter-connectedness of all and enhancing the ability to network. Mercury in Aquarius helps us bring forth the ideas and philosophies that lovingly unite and integrate humanity. In Summary This lunar cycle is potently aligning us with the evolutionary, revolutionary planetary process of the Transition of the Ages and the emergence of the Risen Ones. Change in its rare grand and frequent minor cycles, ultimately refines the substance of our various vehicles, for the pure expression of soul and spirit. The individual is destined to recognize the united ONE in all that is and eventually becomes service oriented and universal. This persistent evolution results in Progress, a Divine Truth of Deity. The lunar theme for this cycle is Planetary Evolution, Revolution ~ Progress Toward the ONE. World

Thinnest Crescents Are Smiling! Luna's Thin Smiling Crescents Deborah Byrd founder of Earth & Sky encourages us to look for young Moons now. Around the time of the spring equinox they are easy to see because their path, the ecliptic, rises straight up from the horizon and they appear higher than normal in the sky each night. Usually these Crescent Moons rise on an angle, which keeps them lower on the horizon. To learn more about the above map and these Moons click 3/9 Earth & Sky.
