mood of the moon in the first sign of the zodiac

When the moon enters Aries, it’s like waking up from a dream or the deep sleep of Pisces, and coming into the present moment, ready. 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and anything associated with firsts -  like first impressions, how people perceive you. Like putting your oxygen mask on first. Going head first, like the ram, possibly taking bold action and thinking about it after the fact. 

Being first in line, arriving somewhere first, coming in first in a race or competition. So Aries has momentum and speed. It’s all fired up! Fire signs are about action. They're action oriented, and Aries is particularly fast.  

So there may be a mood when the moon is in Aries, a mood of “are we there yet?” And when you're aware of this, you might notice it and other people being particularly impatient on Aries Moon days. Something is being activated from the subconscious about urgency.

This level of awareness then can help you to be in choice to see: am I wanting things to move faster to get it over with? What is at the finish line? Am I feeling impatient with other drivers on the road, or perhaps with myself? Perhaps then pausing and turning the intensity of the flame down as needed. 

However, if you feel like there's been things you've been putting off, if you’ve felt stuck or stagnant and you need to turn the intensity of the flame up, the moon entering Aries can help be an ignition, initiation, and invitation to begin again.

 Aries is what is called a cardinal sign, cardinals signs are catalysts. So in addition to being a fire sign, there is the impulse to get things in gear and moving forward, to feel the adrenaline of adventure. 

And so there might be some caution around how many flames are being lit and what can be sustained. But for now with the moon and Aries, riding that wave of fresh beginnings, trusting your instinct, opening your eyes, and taking the first steps.
