This New Moon concentrates both subterranean and surface forces into a powerful drag or an emotional outburst, making us vulnerable to inspirational ideas and igniting speeches. Its influence will manifest in sonorous world events or military operations, for the heavy stalk of the next Avatar, accompanied by its infantry sets an alarming precedent or destructive resonance – it is the fiery, arid Dragon-Steed with its long-tailed, toothy sea ancestry. The spirit of the New Moon encourages us to seize initiative, and struggle for power or a place in the sun. It also incites bold, vehement, and ideologically driven individuals, and the creatively impulsive, to self-express and self-assert. We can break through and overcome difficulties via a decisive spurt; meanwhile, sincere faith in ourselves and our abilities, even if childishly naïve, will play to our advantage. However, the red and white eye of the New-Moon, which renders vision extremely polarized and biased, intolerant to shades of grey, outside opinion, or mercy, may become a stumbling block. Appointments for dental work, beauty procedures, head and eye surgeries are not recommended – except in cases of emergency. With caution, one can undergo acupuncture sessions, visit an osteopath or bone-setter, get a piercing, and train for endurance of a marathon runner or the toughness of a winter bather. Pay attention to the health of the small pelvic zone and the kidneys; maintain mental equilibrium and balance in relationships by taking care your partners’ interests. Around April 19-21 and 24-26 the risk of threats and harassment, bites and beatings, road accidents and fires sky-rockets! From April 24, fair winds blow, giving more space for maneuvering and increasing the degree of ingeniousness by April 27-29, allowing one to slip through the meandering strait, clinging to the rock of Scylla, but passing Charybdis. These days works fine for meeting new people, communicating, travelling, taking online courses, and attracting a target audience. During this New Moon, be decisive, yet controlled. True adepts will appreciate the unprecedented scope of Shaivite practices for self-extension, subordinating their own powers to their will and restraining their character.
