The sun enters your sign, kicking off Aries season on Tuesday, March 19. As the first sign of the zodiac, your season is a pretty big deal: Along with the aforementioned Spring Equinox and Ostara, this period also marks the astrological New Year. The theme is finding balance and rooting yourself in the present moment. Work on cherishing the joy around you. Prayer, positive thinking, spells, whatever you call it, really can work. Life is awfully short. Your challenge around this date is to live in the now rather than get caught up in any regrets about the past or fear for the future.
While birthdays are a celebration of life, it’s easy, especially around a holiday that honors the light and the dark, to feel a little uneasy about getting older, even if you don’t fully understand why. It’s key to be gentle with yourself and get plenty of sleep, but you also have to push yourself a bit. When your ruling planet, fighter Mars, aligns with sweet Venus in Pisces, on Friday, March 22, you feel more relaxed within any partnerships. Mars represents the divine masculine energies, which we all contain regardless of our gender, and Venus the feminine. With them both stationed in pretty Pisces you’re able to take note of how admired and loved you are.
As a fair warning, the stars try to mess with your mood a bit during the full moon and lunar eclipse in Libra, a chaotic celestial event, on Monday, March 25. Because this occurs in your 7th House of Partnership, some insecurities may try to sneak up on you. Your birthday challenge is to resist. Yes, you’re allowed to take it easy and stay in if you really feel on edge, but push yourself to connect in some way with your favorite people. When Vesta, the asteroid of spirituality, associated with house and home, moves into family-oriented Cancer and your 4th House, which also just so happens to rule Home and Family on Sunday, March 31, you won’t want to be alone.
Hiding at home can increase anxiety; being alone with your thoughts can be a recipe for over-thinking. According to the stars, the ideal way to celebrate Aries season during the end of March is through low-key dinner parties, going to the movies, or just relaxing with friends over a pot of tea or bottle of wine. While you have a larger than life personality, and often live by the motto “go big or go home,” this year, your birthday assignment is moderation, balance, and mindfulness, Aries. You can do it. See you in April.
