Sweet, sleepy Pisces season ends on March 20th as the Sun forges its way into the sign of Aries! The Spring Equinox arrives with bright, bold, inspiring winds of change with the Ram taking charge of the Sun. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and initiates the astrological new year.
The Sun is exalted in Aries, meaning that the function of the Sun is supported by Aries nature.
With the Full Moon in Virgo just passing on March 18th, this next cycle starts off strong with fertile ground to plant seeds of intention. Full Moons create space for new beginnings by clearing out what does not need to come with us into the next cycle.
Aries, the Ram, is here to help us actualize our goals by identifying further with ourselves. Where Aquarius and Pisces are deeply connected to collective groups or energies, Aries is the individualization of self. Now is a powerful time to step into who you really are or who you have always wanted to become.
Aries season takes place from March 20th until April 19th. Under the Aries Sun, we instantly will feel more awake and alive than we did during the slow, soft lulls of Pisces season.
This is a time when nature is no longer dormant and begins to bud and blossom. The nature of plant life is mirrored by the resilience of Aries, reborn each year once winter ends.
No one teaches nature how to perform its function, it simply does. Aries is similar in nature in that its mode of survival operates out of instinct and intuition.
Aries is the spark of inspiration after a long, dark winter and serves as a cosmic alarm clock.
Aries is a fire sign ruled by Mars. It is a Cardinal sign so its function is to initiate change. As a Mars-ruled sign, Aries are ambitious, courageous, and resourceful with a proclivity for living to the extreme. They need to be the best, the fastest, the brightest, and above all they need to be “right”. They have a competitive spirit and enjoy pushing themselves to their physical limitations.
Aries believes in themselves so passionately and wholeheartedly that it is extremely difficult to admit when they are in fact, sometimes, wrong. The stubbornness of this sign can be as forceful as two Rams locking horns in stalemate. Under the Aries Sun, we are influenced to exude this same mentality. We are ready to butt heads and fight for our beliefs.
The number one way to get someone with an Aries placement to not want to do something is by telling them to do it. This is a sign that needs to operate out of their individual expression. Their will is only at their command and their freedom to express it is of the utmost importance. It is difficult for an Aries to default to "I will just do it myself" when confronted with obstacles.
As the first sign of the Zodiac, the world seen through the lens of Aries is new and exciting.
This time of year is when we have more energy and can spend more time outside connecting with the Earth as well as one another. Fire inspires and after the murky waters of Pisces season pass, we are ready to step out and make bold moves.
Aries sees life as an adventure and boredom as their enemy. Their magnetic personalities entice others to follow along with their lead on all of their spontaneous plans. They are natural born leaders and love to bring others along on their wild escapade. They have a need to be stimulated in all forms and tend to get restless easily. Before you know it, they’re already on to the search for their next source of stimulation.
Aries love to have fun! And when it comes to friendships they are fiercely loyal and protective. When it comes down to it, if you ever wanted someone to fight on your behalf, an Aries on your side is a sure-fire way to secure a win.
Aries season this year starts with a double whammy of Martian energy as we find the moon in pervasive, penetrating Scorpio. This comes directly off the Libra moon, making an aspect of tension to Pluto. We may encounter some intense emotion right off the bat.
Instead of just feeling through, now we are more driven to alchemize this into something tangible.
Finding healthy expressions of anger and disappointment is a rather large theme for Aries season. We are starting off the astrological year strong by leaving no stone unturned! Get ready for what comes next, because under the Aries Sun we have energy, tenacity, and strength to take us on our next adventure.
