CREATIVE IGNITION๐ฅโ: ARIES SEASONโ๏ธโ INTUITIVE BUSINESS TOOLS FOR INNOVATION
Welcome to the middle of the fiery and dynamic Aries season! As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries embodies the archetype of the Warrior Queenโbold, passionate, and fiercely driven. Simultaneously at the , 11:14 PM ET on Monday, April 1st, the moon will move into the Last Quarter in Capricorn ๐โ๏ธโ giving us a strong Cardinal/Influencing energy signature to start this Month. And we will need it because we will also experience the 1st Mercury Retrograde of the year also in the sign of Aries, and we need to watch our words more than ever right now!
This season heralds the beginning of the Astrological New Year, igniting our inner flames and propelling us forward with a sense of urgency and excitement. But we are currently reaching a junction where we need to take stock and do a quarterly review before we can really move into the active phase of the newly begun Quarter 2 of business.
In the realm of business, Aries season invites us to harness the fearless and initiatory energy of the Warrior Queen archetype. It encourages us to embrace our entrepreneurial spirit, take bold risks, and pioneer new paths. However, amidst the fervor of Aries season, it's essential to balance this active and direct energy with the more introspective and intuitive qualities of the feminine energy of the waning phase of the moon.
In the rest of this blog and the associated video, we will discuss how to work with this mix of Cardinal/Influencing energy and how to embrace the retrograde energy to process the last 3 months and prepare for the โGreat American Eclipseโ coming in just a week.

Last Quarter Moon๐:Lunar Wisdom Formula
Last Quarter Moons only happen for 1 day, during the waning phase of the Lunar cycle, where the light is fading and the moon goes dark ๐ โ.
This 24 hour period can become a magical game changer in your manifestation practice. It is also a great fixed point to check in from a Stellar Planning perspective and make adjustments according to how you feel (the moon).
Lunar Cycles are 28-29 days in total. During the last 14 days of the waning phase ๐๐๐๐๐ its time to release and let go of any attachments to the seeds planted or intentions set. This is the Yin or feminine receptive portion of the cycle where we need to let the energy do the work for us and get into observer mode.
This particular phase is also characterized by low energy and extreme tired as the moon light drops below 25%.
The Last Quarter Moon happens 7.5 - 10 Days after the Full Moon, lasts only for 1 day and reduce energy levels and increase the need for clear.
Itโs a time to analyze & release any thoughts, energies and patterns that arenโt serving you anymore.
What to do for the Last Quarter๐ phase
๐ Get organized and re-focus on the things that are important to complete and tie up loose ends
๐ Get plenty of rest- go to bed early and take an afternoon nap if you feel called
๐ Analyze whatโs going well and release/let go of whatโs no longer serving
Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn๐โ๏ธโ: Influential and Leading Energy
The Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn๐โ๏ธ serves as a reminder to integrate the assertive qualities of Ariesโ๏ธโ with the grounded wisdom of Capricornโ๏ธ. Capricorn energy encourages us to be strategic, disciplined, and resourceful in our approach to business. It invites us to tap into our inner resilience and cultivate a sense of stability amidst the whirlwind of Aries season.
As we navigate the interplay between Aries and Capricorn energies, it's important to recognize the inherent tension between the cardinal signs. Aries, a cardinal fire sign, embodies the spirit of initiation and spontaneity, while Capricorn, a cardinal earth sign, embodies the qualities of structure and tradition. Finding harmony between these energies requires us to temper the masculine drive of Aries with more internal and intuitive strategies.
During the waning phase of the moon, characterized by a gradual decrease in lunar illumination, we are encouraged to turn inward and reflect on our past actions and accomplishments. This is a potent time for introspection and reviewโa time to assess what has served us well and what needs to be released or refined as we move forward into the next phase of our journey.
Mercury Retrograde in Ariesโ๏ธโ: First Quarter Review Time
The onset of Mercury Retrograde in Ariesโ๏ธ on April 1st adds an additional layer of complexity to the start of the second quarter. Mercury Retrograde periods are notorious for disruptions in communication, technology, and travel, making it crucial for businesses to adopt a flexible and adaptive approach during this time.
But I always recommend the middle path of scheduling a quarterly review whenever they show up in the year. Because they happen about every 3 months and their natural cycle is designed to get us to reflect on the preceding season to its arrival so we can consolidate our wins and strategize adjustments for areas of challenge. This is how we thrive not just survive!
To navigate the challenges of Mercury Retrograde and the transition into Q2, Iโm offering some intuitive tools and strategies to harness the energy of Aries season and the retrograde while honoring the wisdom of the Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn. This is crucial and a wonderful opportunity to clean house before the Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse ushers in an entire new era for us in its wake.
1. Journaling and Reflection๐โ: Take time to journal about your business journey over the past three months. Reflect on your achievements, challenges, and lessons learned. Use this insight to inform your strategy for the next quarter.
2. Meditation and Mindfulness๐ฟโ: Incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine to stay grounded and centered amidst the chaos of Aries season and Mercury Retrograde. Connect with your inner wisdom and intuition to guide your decision-making process.
3. Collaborative Brainstorming๐ง ๐กโ: Harness the collective energy of your team by hosting brainstorming sessions to generate innovative ideas and solutions. Encourage open communication and creative collaboration to fuel business innovation.
4. Strategic Planning๐๐ผโโ: Leverage the pragmatic energy of Capricorn to develop a clear and actionable plan for the next quarter. Set realistic goals and milestones, and create a roadmap to guide your business forward with confidence and purpose.
5. Self-Care and Boundary Setting๐งโโ๏ธ๐โโ: Prioritize self-care and set healthy boundaries to prevent burnout during this high-energy period. Schedule regular breaks, engage in activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul, and learn to say no to tasks or commitments that drain your energy.
6. Embrace Imperfectionโฃ๏ธโโ: Remember that perfection is not attainable, especially during Mercury Retrograde. Embrace the imperfections and challenges that arise as opportunities for growth and learning. Trust in the process and remain resilient in the face of setbacks
Letโs harness the fiery energy of the Warrior Queen๐โ archetype while honoring the wisdom of the Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn๐โ๏ธ. By integrating active and direct strategies with more internal and intuitive practices, we can navigate the complexities of Mercury Retrograde and emerge stronger, wiser, and more innovative as we enter the second quarter of the astrological year. Embrace the spirit of creative ignition, and let your business journey be guided by passion, purpose, and intuition.
In conclusion, Aries season invites us to embrace our inner warrior and pioneer new paths in the realm of business. However, it's essential to balance this bold and assertive energy with the grounded wisdom of Capricorn and the introspective nature of the Last Quarter Moon๐. By incorporating intuitive tools and strategies into our business practices, we can navigate the challenges of Mercury Retrograde and embark on the second quarter of the astrological year with clarity, resilience, and innovation.
