Moon in Aries - An Aries transit is a time of new beginnings, intense activity, reaching out in emotional surges and impulsiveness... This moon transit can be a great tester of limits.  When the moon is in Aries you might feel impatient now or want to initiate new things. But wait a minute, aren't we in waning moon energies now?  Doesn't this mean a time of drawing inward?  Yes, it can but yet sometimes we become aware of issues occurring that we feel great impatient with.  Not only has the moon moved into this fiery energy sign but it is also happening on a Sun Day - a Day of Intent, Creation and Renewal.  There are Major magickal energies for (R) Beginnings, Changes. the (R) means repelling or reverse energies; and there are minor magickal energies for banishing sickness/ disease/ and addiction.  All of these seem to be a cross purposes for a waning moon period.  What do I suggest?  Don't have an answer or suggestion that could reconcile these varying energy flows.  But I do say go with what you are feeling at the moment.

   So what is causing me to really feel like expressing Aries energy?  A couple of things - one is the issue with the damage in the Gulf areas where the oil is causing death and destruction to the wildlife in these fragile areas.  May I direct you to the pictures posted on http://kerrdelune.blogspot.com/2010/06/not-in-my-name.html

   I have collected several more pictures of these endangered beautiful birds being slowly 'sludged' to death in this every growing oil slick.  I feel like it would be appropriate to lunch a campaign, using these pictures, against BP and its sick profit making operations by pasting one of these pictures on every BP gas pumps in the country where people who are pumping BP gas into their gas tanks and cans can see it.  Perhaps a little note posted beneath the picture could read 'thanks for your money/contribution to our continuing oil drilling operations'  or something to that effect. I know, the gas stations will take them down but if only for a brief moment and one customer at a time, these images could be seen, and if it was continued to replace the pictures every time they are removed there might be a backlash started.

  And another environmental issue that has been going on for a very long time and continues to reach momental proportions - plastic garbage...  In http://hecatedemetersdatter.blogspot.com/
What Cat Chapin-Bishop Said. entry you re-directed to http://quakerpagan.blogspot.com/2010/05/small-stuff.html
Small Stuff blog entry  which is about the destruction of plastic garbage floating in our oceans, here particularly in the Pacific Ocean.  This is a matter we much face regarding our part in contributing to it and figure out we can as individuals do to help cutting down on it.  So I feel that Aries fiery energy has affected me to bring these matters up today and to make a commitment in the days ahead to act on making changes in my lifestyle and hopefully in others.
