Welcome to Aries season, fellow stargazers! Or shall we say, happy astrological New Year! As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries gets to kick off a whole new year and it is no coincidence that the first day of this fiery season coincides with the spring equinox. As we finally bid our goodbyes to the long wintery night and Pisces season, it’s time to welcome back some much-needed light and to follow nature’s cue to plant the seeds of the future we envision. Making plans has never been more challenging or triggering that this past year, and yet nurturing our ability to dream big, no matter the circumstances, has never been more important. While Pisces energy reminded us that all feelings are safe to feel, even the ones that hurt, Aries season is here to empower us to take a brave step forward. As the initiator of the zodiac, Aries energy is here to teach us that it’s always time to fight for what we want and for what is right. Somewhere between a stubborn child and the ultimate warrior, the Bull doesn’t think twice about taking action – it just does, even when that means making a mistake every now and then. Aries energy reminds us that we are in a continual state of becoming and that consistent movement, may it be physical, mental or spiritual, is the only way forward. With Mercury joining the Sun in this impulsive, Mars-ruled placement, we may feel a little more reactive than usual so saying what we mean, and meaning what we say as mindfully as possible will be key. The New Moon on April 12 will be the perfect opportunity to set some intentions and take a first step toward a new vision. When Taurus season takes over, on April 19th, it will show us exactly how to actually bring that plan to fruition.
More than anything, Aries season is here to inspire us to be brave enough to walk the path we were always meant to walk, even if we don’t know how nor where that might lead us. It’s favorite motto? Begin anywhere. We may not know what the following months have in store for us, but those who are lucky enough to have a dream that carries them still should absolutely chase after it, and there is no time like the present.
ARIES
Happy birthday, dearest Aries! This month is your month and after many weeks of intense self-work and reflection, you finally get to do what you do best: act. No one knows how to move forward and go after what you want like you do, and the rest of the zodiac needs you to step into your limitless power and grab your dreams with both hands. Whatever project has been buzzing in your head, don’t be tempted to second guess yourself and know that it is exactly where you should be headed. Trust your instincts and spread your wings fearlessly – you were born for this.
TAURUS
You don’t like change much, do you gentle Taurus? And yet with your Solar Return just around the corner, it’s time for you to step up and understand that the comforting limits that make you feel safe also keep you small. Allow Aries fiery and fearless energy to inspire you to transcend your limiting beliefs once and for all. What are you afraid of? What stories have you been telling yourself? It’s time you rewrote your own script, on your own terms, to get to what you truly want. Remember that on the other side of fear, is growth.
GEMINI
The social butterfly that you are should thrive during this Aries season, bright Gemini. Like Aries, you don’t lack ambition nor drive, but it is time for you to put your life mission to the side just long enough to wholeheartedly reconnect to your community. Who are the people who matter the most to you? Who do you want to be with, when you finally achieve the vision you have been dreaming about for so long? Remember that nothing is really worth having if it cannot be shared with those you love.
CANCER
Though you know best how to navigate complicated feelings and emotions, you have a tendency to give too much of your precious attention to what once was, gentle Cancer. This month, it’s time for you to move forward and to let the past be the past, so that you may build your future. What do you truly feel called to achieve? Don’t fret what you don’t know, take pride in what you do know and trust that you already have everything you could ever need to reach that goal.
LEO
You share your fiery, fearless and playful personality with Aries energy, sweet Leo, and there is much for you to look forward to this month. After a heavy couple of weeks of facing your fears and coming to terms with what was no longer serving you, it’s finally time for you to go on your next adventure. Where do you feel called to go next? Give yourself up completely to what feels right and if you ever lose sight of what you’re chasing after, remember that the way of the heart is never wrong and that acting out of love, not fear nor lack, will always get you where you want to go.
VIRGO
Like all earth signs you are a creature of habit, gentle Virgo. Keeping up with a routine means that you are less likely to get disorganised and that you may remain in control at all times. This month, it’s time for you to face perhaps your worst fear yet and to throw control out of the window altogether. Forget about what you are supposed to do, what do you actually want to do? Aim as high as you dare and chase after it unapologetically. Trust that Aries innate self-confidence and untamable impulsivity will carry you where you want to go so that you may, at long last, break free.
LIBRA
No one knows how to build and nurture healthy relationships like you do, dearest Libra. You can read others like an open book and anticipate their every need without even having to think about it. This month however, it’s time to remind yourself that you live for yourself first and foremost, not others. Take Aries firm individualistic hand and allow yourself to embark on a journey to deep self-discovery. Take some time to celebrate of all the little things that you love about yourself, all that makes you unique. Give your undivided attention to the most important relationship you will ever have; the one you have with yourself.
SCORPIO
Unlike most, emotions don’t scare you in the least dearest Scorpio. You were born swimming in deep waters and navigate even the most hurtful bursts of feelings with grace. While your empathy is one of your greatest strength, it can also be your pitfall since you often end up caring a little too much. This month, it’s time for you to stop worrying about every single little thing that stands in the way of you moving forward and bringing your projects to fruition. Stop worrying so much about the plan and the feelings of everyone involved and trust the process instead. Perfection is overrated anyway.
SAGITTARIUS
You enjoy doing work that matters the most, sweet Sagittarius, and you stop at nothing to do the right thing. This month however, it’s time for you to let loose and to solely focus on cultivating whatever sparks joy to you. Embrace the inner child within you who sees the world with fresh eyes and allow yourself to embark on a new adventure only for the sheer, pure delight of it. Choosing joy over duty every once in a while isn’t neglecting your purpose; it’s making sure that your heart is open and strong enough to face whatever challenge you set your mind to.
CAPRICON
You have a sense of duty and responsibility like no other, brave Capricorn, but that doesn’t mean you have to ensure the wellbeing of everyone around you at all times. You always bravely fly to rescue of those who cannot save themselves, even if that means abandoning yourself in the process. This month, it’s time for you to set strong, clear boundaries with your loved ones to protect yourself for once. Where are the lines you can no longer afford to cross? Don’t be afraid to say how you feel, ask for what you need and most importantly, to say no when you must.
AQUARIUS
You’re never short of bright ideas, dear Aquarius, but it’s one thing to dream them and a whole other to actually bring them to life. This month, allow yourself to be endlessly inspired by Aries’ drive and focused energy to work towards making your vision a reality for all to see. Don’t be tempted to take on too many projects at once, give yourself the challenge to set your heart on the one that speaks most clearly to you. Be the change you want to see in the world, the one your visionary mind has dreamt of many times, and dare to take action.
PISCES
Your readiness to have complete and utter faith in your loved ones, no matter what path they may choose to embark on, is one of the many things that make you exceptional, gentle Pisces. When you love, you love unconditionally and you expect nothing less in return. When it comes to trusting and loving yourself however, the tide changes rapidly. This month, it’s time for you to stop selling yourself short and to embrace and celebrate your own power. Don’t be tempted to simply wait for others to validate what you already know to be true.
