The time has come where we enter into a brand new energetic and astrological calendar, as we head into Aries season, marking the Spring Equinox for the Northern hemisphere. We are regaining our balance as the days turn into equal hours of light and dark. The fire element of Aries, dries us off from the complete saturation of emotional and karmic waters we just came out of from Pisces season. As we towel off, we are already eager to embark on new endeavours.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and under this influence we are ready to hit the ground running as we supercharge an area of our life. Aries is the trailblazer, the one who wants to dive into whatever excites them, and has the tendency to act first and think later. They initiate new energy and new paths.
Similar to the first day of Spring, the world comes to life and sneaks out of their winter shadows with the Sun in Aries. Aries energy is fast, quick to react, impulsive, head strong, and anxious to get things done. There is an abundance of energy as we set off into the world to make leaps and bounds on our paths forward, eager to accomplish what we set out to do.
A certain level of caution comes with this Aries season as it is being shadowed by Mercury’s retrograde shadow period. This means that we are going to get off to a slow start in accomplishing what the Aries energy wants us to do. We have to still rely heavily on our intuition to guide us through this shadow period.
With the Aries energy quick to act, we really have to stop and listen to the inner guidance we are being given. We have to PAY ATTENTION, and because Aries energy isn't really one to do that, we need to be overly cautious that we aren't jumping into things without consulting our hearts and our heads.
In astrology, Aries represents the head, which is appropriate for the sign as they are very headstrong and push through the barriers of restriction in order to tackle their dreams. The Sun moving into Aries poses an interesting tension on us, as the Sun and Chiron (the wounded healer) will meet up with each other giving us an opportunity to set the tone for the next 12 month energy cycle and how it is we are going to heal. We are going to be moving out of ego (head) and learn to live life from a higher sense of knowing as we tap into our higher consciousness and newly developed mental plane.
It's important that we not return to old patterns and behaviours during this time as what we focus on in the first weeks of Aries season will last throughout the new energetic calendar. Those who have developed spiritually, will pass this test by standing strong in themselves, their truths, and their power to transcend their old selves to fully embrace the new.
Everything we've learned over the past year, will be put to the test in this new energy cycle. Aries season helps us to get things started and to take the first steps on building new elements in our lives.
As long as you are being mindful to consult your intuition before proceeding to act on the impulses and urges you want to take action on, you will no doubt set a solid foundation and be overly productive in bring things to life while the Aries energy infuses you with the power and strength to blaze ahead.
