Spring Equinox, Aries Season Begins
On March 20, the Sun enters Aries and Spring begins. This is the astrological new year, a time where (in the northern hemisphere) plants are sprouting, early flowers are blooming, and we are energetically reborn to begin again. Aries is the first fire sign, and represents impulse, gut instinct, drive, and desire. We may start to really feel ready to move on those our impulses and excited about the new and the next after a long winter. A word of caution. Temperance will be necessary since at this time, both Mercury and Venus are retrograde in Aries riding very close to the Sun. This Spring will have new starts and new excitements, yes, but is riddled with reflection and reevaluation in just what those impulses are really about. Slow down. Think and feel more deeply before taking action.There will very likely be considerable adjustments in the months ahead.
On March 21, Venus retrograde in Aries sextiles Pluto in Aquarius at 3º. This first occurred when Venus was direct in her pre-retrograde shadow on February 7. What was happening then that is linked to what is happening now? Venus retrograde is moving us all through a reevaluation period of what brings us pleasure, what we desire in our heart of hearts, how to rebalance our materials and finances, and reassessing our relationships. This aspects has us all engaging with the power dynamics within our relationships. This can create intensity and depth that we are eager to indulge. We are more apt to engage in things we enjoy and dig in deeply to our passions. Watch for imbalanced compulsions. Moments like this can make them irresistible. Pay attention. Venus will sextile Pluto again in her post-retrograde shadow on May 6 to conclude this interaction in some way.
On March 23, the Sun sextiles Pluto in Aries at 3º. The intensity continues, this time by way of strengthening self-confidence and self-expression. This aspect helps with drive and ambition. It encourages us to persevere in any challenging situation. It can help us to look deeper at issues that on other days feel impossible to face and find answers regarding our true motivations. If you have been avoiding something, this is a strong day to look at it. Transformation is on offer.
On March 24, Mercury retrograde conjuncts the Sun in Aries at 4º. Mercury retrograde is generally a period for reflection, reconsideration, renegotiation, etc. The Sun operates like a spotlight today, highlighting what ever it is that we most immediately need to be reflecting on. What needs to be reorganized can become very clear, however exactly how to execute that goal may not. A lot of energy is swirling this week. Impulsive energy is high. Slowing down and finding pause any chance we can, even in small doses, can help a great deal to hear our intuitive hits.
On March 25, Mercury retrograde in Aries sextiles Pluto in Aquarius at 3º. This energy is supportive of again, digging deep. Truth and critical information can be uncovered. Listen with intention. All the early Aries planets talking to Pluto this week are checking in with clues from the “Underworld.” Be curious about what is behind the information, the text message, the email, and do not hesitate to ASK for clarification. This is Mercury retrograde after-all and miscommunications are highly likely. At the root, these early Aries planets are trying to make sense of new vibrations, of what feels good and correct for each of us as individuals in this present moment of our lives amid great change. Avoid surface level thinking. Notice what is different, off, or a better option.
We are in between eclipses (March 14-March 29). Continue to release the old and welcome the new. Transformation is underway.
