October 11th, 2011 Full Moon in Aires

Fire in the Gut

Spanish Ballerina and Aires moon maiden Tamara Rojo (yes, her last name really is Rojo!), speaks candidly and dances like a care free champion. Her interpretation of modern dance diva Isadora Duncan, is full of innocent, playful, and straightforward movement. She dances like a child in the middle of playground, nothing to lose and everything to gain, just from the simple instinct to stretch out one’s arms and take a skip!  The softness of the moon turns razor-sharp with the influence of uncompromising Aries.  It’s dramatic; a wonderful emotional quality to have for a dancer. When feelings and athleticism unite, the dance of the child is born, and we have to move.

Aires is famously connected with ‘ego’, and although ‘ego’ is known for getting a bad rap, there’s something quite healthy about putting our needs first. The ability to have confidence in our emotions  leads to maturity, as long as we express them directly, and simply. This is the hard part! How many times do we question the validity of our emotions and end up in some convoluted guessing game about what it is we truly feel?

This is the gift of the Aires moon. It’s uncomplicated. It knows what it really needs. Acquiring emotional clarity is half the battle when it comes to being truly content. Fear usually is the real enemy. What would happen if we stated what we wanted and didn’t get it? How we would be process that rejection? Aires has the courage to put its needs first and the resilience to pop back up if its needs aren’t met. Similar to a child who stumbles while making its first steps, the Aires moon personality just keeps going.  Eventually, usually sooner than later, it lands on its feet and starts moving with great enthusiasm, as if it had never fallen!

The ballet work is full of rejection, and intense emotion…I  relish in Spanish Ballet Star Tamara Rojo’s perspective on dance because it’s so straightforward and honest. This is the gift of the Aries Moon! The treasures of Tamara’s Aires moon can be found in this excerpt from an interview with Stephen Moss in June’s issue of  The Guardian. This is a wonderful read that brilliantly reveals the Aries Moon personality. Ms. Rojo candidly states her disapproval of “Black Swan”, while validating her integrity along her artistic journey as a dancer.

My favorite  quote: “You do not and should not think you have to suffer for the art.”

Here’s the link to the article, enjoy~
