Lorna Bevan – As the first of the annual 3 Spiritual Festivals approaches on April 6, the cycle of the year renews itself in Aries. In the Northern Hemisphere – the first Full Moon of Spring marks the solar Aries Festival when Light returns to Earth. As poet Dylan Thomas wrote so beautifully, this is “the force that through the green fuse drives the flower.” Easter/Oestre is celebrated by many as a time of new hope, new life – a resurrection of the spirit.
Esoterically, Aries – the 1st sign – working on the 1st ray of Will and Power – manifests the Impulse of Electric Fire, destroying the past, clearing the way for the future, establishing a new pattern for the following twelve months.
The Full Moon at 16° Libra arrives on Thursday, April 6th. The Aries/Libra Polarity is the Relationship Axis, where Aries represents Self and Libra represents the Other. Aries is about self-assertion, Libra about compromise. This polarity is where the deeply personal interfaces with the entirely impersonal, where you, with your need to be loved, welcomed and accepted, encounter others with completely different agendas.
Expect relationship epiphanies, wake up calls and relationship dramas as Awakener Uranus aspects both the Sun and Moon as Jupiter and Chiron conjunct the Sun.

A heads up! The Aries New Moon in 2 weeks on April 20 is a rare hybrid solar eclipse at 29° Aries which begins as an annular ring of fire eclipse and transitions into a sky-darkening total eclipse along its path. It is the first eclipse with the Node of Fate in Aries since 2006 and starts a whole series of wild card eclipses across Aries-Libra between now and March 29, 2025.

Chandra Symbol Full Moon LIBRA 16: A woman: The lower half of her body is a serpent.
“Magic working simultaneously from two divergent levels. The regular, human, everyday magic of holding yourself together as a complex and volatile mix by sheer intent. And the deeper magic of yielding to the passions, the desires, the impulses, and the skills of the subconscious levels. Primarily being absorbed in the deep forces of body and soul. But meanwhile bending over backwards to frame everything as normal.
This combination is extremely difficult to maintain. It is fragile, delicate, and dangerous. You secretly exult in how impossible it really is and urge yourself onward to work this magic and wield it with the same kind of life-force that moves at the edge of an abyss and stays on that edge in a balancing act that may capsize at any moment. And it therefore is entered upon with a passion of the most dazzling cross between sheer foolishness and a wizard’s mastery.” Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale
