Chapter 1: The Cosmic Dance of Consciousness

As we traverse the realms of both inner and outer consciousness, we witness a cosmic interplay that mirrors our reality.

This article does not delve into political discourse; instead, it unfolds a narrative guided by archetypal cosmology.

In the upcoming lunar phase, Pluto transitions into the domain of Aquarius on March 23, 2023. Due to its closer orbit and shorter year, Pluto will oscillate between Capricorn and Aquarius several times before establishing its presence in Aquarius until November 19, 2024.

This new moon marks the final occurrence before Pluto's initial foray into Aquarius, as it will retrograde back to Capricorn on June 11, 2023, before further movements until November 2024.

The focus of this article is the new moon on March 21, 2023, which occurs at the very first degree of Aries. While we experience a new moon in Aries annually, it is a rare occurrence for it to align so precisely at the beginning of this sign. From a scientific perspective, this alignment signifies that the new moon coincides with Earth's position around the sun, creating a backdrop of stars that precisely aligns with the galactic axis.

This unique alignment indicates a "coplanar" relationship between the moon, Earth, and sun, extending into the galaxy. Imagine two sheets of paper perfectly aligned—this is how these celestial bodies relate during this new moon.

Energetically, this symbolizes a fresh start, with a heightened focus on security as a unipolar authority seeks to establish dominance.

Symbolically, we are reminded that remnants of history linger. Like a mermaid emerging from the ocean, we must find balance on new terrain.

On a broader cultural level, the feasibility of structures has been tested, and we are now entering a phase of actual usability. This transition can be viewed as a shift from concept to experience, where recent stress has led to high-level approvals of new initiatives.

There’s no turning back; only details remain to be addressed.

As Mars transitions from Gemini to Cancer, it signals a shift from the initial motivations highlighted by the new moon. Mars recently completed its retrograde shadow on March 15, 2023, and has been moving in a new direction since its conjunction with the new moon.

What does this signify? The shadows of last May are now evolving into new paths.

This dynamic is further influenced by Jupiter's conjunction with Chiron, prompting questions about the healing we have cultivated from our past suffering. What fresh perspectives on life are we inspired to embrace?

While we explore new ideas and pursue our desires, remaining grounded in our personal paths, as discussed in the previous full moon article, allows us to hone skills that align us with the flow of life. This could be seen as adopting "new mannerisms."

To truly experience freedom of choice, we must transcend expectations and projections, leading with faith toward our innate drives, akin to a songbird crafting a unique melody.

How might you liberate yourself from past burdens and express your feelings creatively? Consider how to transform chaos into art.

Engage playfully with your surroundings and experiences.

The recent conjunction of Jupiter and Chiron, the Wounded Healer, presents an opportunity for transformation. Rather than viewing Chiron merely as a symbol of suffering, we can embrace the challenge of converting pain into wisdom for a greater purpose.

In mythology, Chiron sacrifices his immortality for Prometheus, who suffered for gifting fire to humanity. Zeus, moved by this act, immortalizes Chiron, freeing him from his pain.

In moments of sobering realization, remember not to surrender to despair. Life’s inevitable end should not be met with resignation; instead, we must entrust our power to a higher divine force, distinct from any authoritative figure advocating for conflict.
