Now the nights and days are of equal length. The bright yang energy thrusts itself forward out of dark yin containment and rushes up: we’re alive! We’re alive! This new moon finds us ecstatically rolling down newly green hillsides. Plants push red tips into the blue sky. Baby animals fill the fields. We made it through another winter!
This month, the great lights of the Sun and Moon join Chiron—the healer—and Mercury—the storyteller—in the early territory of Aries, the sign of the ram, bringing us diagnostics and medicine in this early springtime.
The Ram – and his child, the Lamb – figure prominently in many early Western mythologies. There is the woolly-headed ram with curved horns adapted early on by the Theban Egyptians; the supernatural ram sent by Zeus to save children from their wicked stepmother, which furnishes the golden fleece that draws heroic Jason; and there is the Lamb of God, the sacrificed Christ. The theme of potency and the vulnerability of the child to the powerful drives of the father figure prominently in these myths. The great Aries age saw the rise of the masculine and the patriarchal.
As the Sun gains ascendancy in Spring, where will we experience the power surge, how conscious will we be of that power and our effect on others?
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences. For more information on reading your own natal chart, you can purchase the recording of How to Read Your Own Horoscope 101.
About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
