Dear Ones,
 
A BIG beginning will make itself known this Thursday, April 7th. 
 
On that day the New Moon arrives in astrological sign of Aries. This fiery first sign on the Zodiac ushers in a kind a new year. Over the next 12 months we will have another journey around the wheel. Each new moon bringing different qualities & themes to explore. 
 
This New Moon at The Wild Woman Project (Here, in Circle & in the New Moon Companion), we will continue our exploration through Feminine Archetypes with an eye on making intentions for the astrological year ahead.
 
For this bold initiating task we will call on the archetype of the Wise Warrior. 
 

In the talk below you will learn:

  • About the particular energetics, qualities & contemplations we can tune into this New Moon.
  • Why we are looking to the Archetype of the Wise Warrior, its relationship to the Aries energy & what the exploration can teach us.

New Moon in Aries Inspiration

Wise Warrior: A Practice

Put aside 20-30 minutes of a strong physical practice you can do that challenges you* & makes you sweat (ex. climbing, running, biking, vigorously dancing, etc. ).

Do your practice with attention on staying steady in the mind. Let your inhales and exhales be even in length.

The question in you practice is: can you exert effort without becoming agitated & unwise?

*Please listen to your body and do not push yourself beyond healthy boundaries. 

An Image to Contemplate:

Envision 2 Warrior Women, side by side.
One is steady, strong, discerning about when to engage in conflict but willing, when needed. 
The second is reckless, hasty, violent for violence sake. 
 
One knows how to choose her battles, the other does not. 
One listens more than she speaks, the other is very loud & opinionated. 
One has a strong moral code, the other has no such thing.
 
Who will be of greater service to their people & the earth?
Who will live better?
Questions: 
Is there a place for conflict (pressing up against resistance, overcoming) in your life?
Is there a place for blood, sweat & tears?
Is there something you want to bring forth (within or without) that is worth fighting for?
A Piece of Advice: 
This New Moon has the potential to help you conquer. Take the time to ask yourself what you want to make or be in the year ahead. Know that it will take your energy, courage & wisdom to make it happen.
Stand boldly in your strength this New Moon – What WILL you make of yourself?

For now, I’ll leave you with these quotes to sit with this New Moon:

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”
 
“All great achievements require time.”
~Maya Angelou (Aries Sun)
 
Wishing you New Moon Clarity & Fierce Creativity,
Chris
