How will you use your fire This Aries Season?
Habits or Conviction? What's Driving You?
Friday March 20th, marks the first day of Aries season — and the Spring Equinox. Together, they create a particularly powerful opportunity to clear our spaces (and minds), plant seeds for what we truly want to flourish, and set fresh intentions at the start of the astrological new year.
Many people make resolutions in early January, but for me, this is the time of year that most supports new beginnings and energetic shifts. We're shaking off winter's cobwebs, flowers are pushing through the soil, and the earth is warming toward its season of growth and abundance.
So if resolutions you set a few months ago are feeling stale — don't worry. Now's the perfect time to sweeten and freshen them.
As the world feels increasingly chaotic, I find myself deeply inspired by Aries energy. I recently returned from a beautiful Bhakti yoga immersion in India — a trip that unfolded during March’s eclipse season, Mercury retrograde, and the start of the US war with Iran. Aries season, with its youthful exuberance, passionate nature, and capacity to innovate, feels like a true breath of fresh air. It is driven, and it will not be deterred.
But here's the real question: what's driving you?
Old habits, or clear conviction?
As we step into this new astrological year, my deepest hope is that we each get crystal clear about what we want to create and experience in the months ahead. Aries is primed for battle — so what are you battling for? Our culture tends to condition us to push against things, to find ourselves in Sisyphean struggles with no end in sight. But what happens when we redirect that same fierce energy toward an inspired purpose instead?
During the first few days of Aries season, the Sun meets up with Neptune (illusion and haze - March 22) and Saturn (boundaries and caution - March 25) — a pairing that underscores the importance of knowing our own minds and hearts.
Anchored in that inner knowing, we can move with steadiness and take action toward our truest aims. Without that clarity, we become vulnerable to the whims, distractions, and outright lies of those who wish to influence and control us — yes, I'm talking about our President and all the king’s … his men.
This Month's Moons & Transits
April 1 — Full Moon in Libra A reminder that harmony, relationships, and unity with others are just as vital to the human experience as fierce self-confidence. There is tremendous strength in balance.
April 9 & 14 — Mars into Aries, Mercury into Aries These back-to-back ingresses supercharge our will, drive, communication, and warrior spirit. Your energy and your words are potent right now — use them with intention.
April 17 — New Moon in Aries An invitation to pair action with passion. Don't just think about it or dream about it — do the dang thing.
