ARIES -- The Full Moon of Initiative

============================================

It's no mistake that Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. We need this energy to begin a new cycle. We need the energy to burst into Spring and blossom anew.

Anyone remember the childhood game "Red Rover, Red Rover"? We'd form two lines facing one another, but a good 25 feet apart. Each line would join hands and then someone from one line would yell, "Red Rover, Red Rover -- send Heidi over!" Then Heidi would come running like wildfire over to what she perceived was the weakest link in the hand chain and attempt to crash through.

Arms were aching. Bellies were bruised, but Heidi loved Red Rover.

Heidi is an Aries -- so this makes sense. Aries LOVE to burst through obstacles. Daring is their middle name. The desire to pioneer, to chart unknown territory, to be brave, courageous and powerful -- this is how an Aries thrives. Aries are competitive, aggressive and a little cocky.

In Hand Analysis, there is a marking in the hand that perfectly exemplifies the forward motion of Aries. It is called the Mars Star. To locate it, look for an intersection of at least three lines on the fleshy part of the edge of your palm, just below the knuckle at the base of your pointer (Jupiter) finger. Don't worry if you don't see one. This will apply to everyone.

This marking represents the courageous part of you. This is part of yourself where you garner the capacity to take on your biggest challenges. Over the next month, notice how you take on the hard stuff.

The Full Moon is the time for inner reflection.

Try this:

Circle the most challenging aspects of your life:

* Bringing things to completion
* Standing in your own power
* Your sense of self worth
* Expressing your creativity and individuality
* Communicating your experience
* Expressing yourself honestly in the moment

Over the next two weeks notice -- just notice -- where do your battles show up? Usually, they show up around the most difficult themes in your life. Are you surrounded by rageful and belligerent people? Do you feel full of rage yourself? Just notice.

Go ahead and write about your experiences. How do they make you feel? What would you really like to tell someone / insurance company / landlord / boss / family member/ credit card company / internal revenue service / heads of state?

In our next issue, during the New Moon in Aries, we’ll talk about how to access your courage to take on the battles... the right battles for you.

Share with us what you are manifesting. We would love to hear (just email us or leave us a comment here on this blog)! This month we'd love to share the great note we got from Zak.
