Selena (White Moon) in Aries – A Knight in Shining Armor

Selena is the antipode of Lilith: the White Moon against the Black Moon, the embodiment of the guardian angel in a fictitious point of the horoscope, invisible to the eye but felt as magical support from the Higher Powers in a difficult moment. Located in a particular zodiac sign and House of the natal chart, it shows the sphere of life where the native is especially protected from evil and negativity, as well as the positive karma accumulated in a past life, thanks to which they now reap the fruits of happiness and good fortune.

But this is also a responsibility: it is necessary to manifest qualities corresponding to the higher qualities of the sign of placement. The White Moon in Aries means protection in battles and natural disasters, and if karma is strengthened, the person will need to save and protect the unjustly offended and the weak, observing Selena’s esoteric laws.

The Saving Influence of the White Moon in Aries

Unlike Lilith, which has a nine-year cycle, the White Moon tests the person under its care every seven years for their correspondence to selfless service to humanistic ideals. If most actions are performed in the name of good, the person receives a reward, while injuries and shocks speak of a transition onto the road of negativity and destruction, when even the Higher Powers are powerless. Of course, it is not easy to meet high standards in all areas of life, so close attention should be paid to the themes affected by Selena’s position in Aries. It gives protection and support during:

• fights, attacks by criminals, or intervention in a confrontation for the purpose of saving another person;
• military service and participation in military, counterterrorist, and rescue operations;
• fires and natural disasters;
• showing initiative and beginning something new, even a risky undertaking;
• competitions and athletic contests, provided the rules of fair combat are observed.

People with the White Moon in Aries are naturally fearless and compassionate toward those who have fallen into trouble. Routine and everyday life oppress them, while any journey or adventure stirs the spirit and activates the support of the Higher Powers. With a harmonious position of Selena, the native is noble in soul and body, because they strive to correspond to the inner image of a knight or beautiful princess who saves the sick and helps the weak.

This makes them happy, because the subconscious signals that the karmic task is being fulfilled. The native easily forgives offenses and acts magnanimously toward those who lose to them in competitions, but in a struggle with a true opponent they will fight to the end, defending what they consider sacred.

Three Levels of Karmic Manifestation

In a past life, the holder of the White Moon was a fighter for human rights, with a sword or a scroll of law, opposing evil. Therefore, in the present incarnation, they received the right to walk safely along the edge of the abyss, provided they observe the laws of universal justice. Violating them threatens the native with physical injuries, sexually transmitted diseases, headaches, and kidney pain, but the more actively they protect others, the more invulnerable they themselves become.

Selena in Aries, and in any other sign, has three levels of karmic awareness depending on spiritual development:

1. The lowest — the person collects the “bonuses” of the previous incarnation, enjoying the ability to emerge unharmed from extreme incidents. If they intend harm toward another person, Lulu in Aries will rearrange circumstances so that they have to abandon criminal plans. If they refuse spiritual self-improvement and abuse higher protection through provoking fights or taking unreasonable risks, the help of the guardian angel is withdrawn.

2. The middle — the native does good while expecting a material or verbal reward in gratitude: money, gifts, admiring compliments, medals, and orders. But since, from an esoteric point of view, the good done by a warrior of light brings benefit in any case, the heavenly patrons do not prevent enrichment if the person follows the conditions created by fate for heroic action.

3. The highest — the native renounces material pleasures in favor of selfless service to the unfortunate and disadvantaged. This is the level of a priest, a military commander devoted to the Fatherland, a surgeon, or a scientist searching for a vaccine against dangerous diseases.

At any level, bullets and knives seem to run into invisible obstacles, the opponent’s fist flies past, and when falling from a height, the person miraculously remains unharmed, but this luck should not be abused. Fire in any form — candles, a bonfire — cleanses the person of negativity and nourishes Lulu.

Important Aspects with Planets

Aries is symbolically associated with the First House. Accordingly, a harmonious aspect of Selena with its ruler, Mars, gives courage, confidence in leadership qualities, the ability to make correct decisions in stressful situations, and the strength to withstand a battle with the toughest enemy. A negative aspect with the red planet activates inner doubts and fears, as well as physical weakness, which must be overcome by tempering the will and strengthening the body. An example is the holder of Selena in Aries, commander A. Suvorov.

A trine with Venus gives the ability to resolve conflict situations through personal charm, while a trine with Jupiter does so through authority and power. Negative aspects show the source of danger, but the opposition of Selena and Lilith looks especially threatening, placing the native in a constant struggle between good and evil, where they must independently understand where darkness and light are and make the right choice.  ✓
