In this episode Ada Pembroke and Lauren of Tarot and Chai talk about the New Moon in Aries.
Highlights
What is the relationship between Aries and stress, and how do we work with that?
How can the dwarf planets Orcus and Haumea help us to put this New Moon in context?
A box of packing paper is no match for Lauren’s kitten!
Neptune in Aries is wearing the mask of the spiritual warrior.
After 14 years of training in our House of Death, Leo risings are ready to follow Neptune into war with the undead. What zombies and vampires need to be slain? What ghosts need to be gently guided toward the light?
When asteroid Psyche is conjunct Pluto, Psyche is reenacting her descent to the underworld in mythic time. As we travel with her, we face our shadows, heroes, and villains.
You would think a person with a Taurus sun and three Aries placements would be an expert at getting Aries and Taurus to work together. What I've learned, however, is that often I have absolutely no idea whether an Aries scheme is genius or unrealistic until I’ve fully committed to the idea.
When I learned that Venus was in detriment in Aries, I was devastated.
It felt like even astrology was saying I was ugly and my gender presentation was broken.
One of the difficulties of working with archetypes is that they have the tendency to get stuck in time without anyone realizing it.
The Warrior, for example, is an archetype that seems pretty easy to understand: A warrior is someone who fights, right?
But where in the modern world do you find the Warrior?
There is something wild in us that never climbed down from the trees, an inner cryptid that lives by the law of tooth and claw. It is the shadow of civilization, the part of us that must be sacrificed for peace. Like all shadows, it reasserts itself in ways we don't approve of when we turn our backs and refuse to acknowledge it.
