Hello Aries Season

Not to sound like a complete Aries, but few things get me as excited as Aries season.

Here on Earth, Spring has sprung and the world is reborn. Gone are the blankets of white snow and in their place are carpets of green grass. Color has returned to the world with rainbows and the flowers born from sun's warmth. Vibrancy and Vitality have been restored to the world. It’s full of possibility and potential.

Within the Cosmos, the fiery planet Mars now Reigns. From March 20th-April 19th, the influence of Mars sparks within us the the desire for action, to live, to explore, to follow our passions and manifest them into existence.

The Spring energies of rebirth, renewal and possibility + the fiery Mars influence of passion, drive, and transformation? There is no denying this combination packs a punch for those of us looking to manifest a life of our dreams.

Plus, it’s basically my birthday!

So today, we celebrate Aries season by sharing how you can harness the power of Aries season regardless of whether Aries is present in your own birth chart.

Harnessing Aries Energy

Master the Mind

Within astrology each zodiac symbol is said to correspond or rule over a part of the physical body.

Aries are said to rule the Mind.

This means an Aries mind is always buzzing with thought. So if you want to tap into that Aries energy, start with the mind.

• Slow down, accept, and examine your thoughts through meditation.

• Practice journaling for expression and to gain clear perspective.

• Address your thoughts , beliefs and actions through Mindset.

You can learn to shift your mindset and shift your reality here!

Know What You Stand For

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, and thus Aries are unconsciously motivated by passion, anger, war, assertion. Part of there essence is that of war and combat. One must know what they are willing to fight for, so like so many warriors, Aries have an innate code of honor, a set of values that they live by.

You can harness your own Aries energy by becoming aware of your own code. What do you stand for? What code of honor do you live by? What are you will to fight for?

And then FIGHT.

Honesty

One such code that seemingly every Aries holds dear? Honesty.

Is there honor without truth? How can you truly stand for something if you aren’t honest? Aries are passionate defenders of truth, their other qualities compel them. Like the light of a flame casts a shadow, it's said that Aries have a "sixth sense" about the truth. That in an Aries presence the truth shall be revealed.

To honor that energy - be honest; Honest with yourself, honest with others.

Here and Now

Hic Et Nunc - Be here and now.

As the first sign of the Zodiac, a child of Rebirth, there is only the here and now. This fresh energy contributes to the impulsivity and optimism that are said to be defining qualities of the sign because in essence they are focused on the present and aren’t so concerned about the consequences. Aries do what feels good IN THE MOMENT.

To align with Aries energy, actively cultivate and live a life that makes you feel your most “ALIVENESS”

Wear that bright red dress! Give them your number! Apply for that position! Go on that trip! Eat the Delicious Food! Make love like it’s the first and last time!

Be Present. Be here and now.

Confidence

There is a fine line between being confident and arrogant - Aries use this line as a jump rope. When you know what you stand for, honest enough to own who you are, and present enough to not be burdened by the past - confidence is a natural side effect.

You can bring that Aries into your life by owning who you are, by being proud to be YOU. 

• Know what you stand for and why.

• Be honest enough to know yourself and hold yourself to the same standard you hold others.

• Live in the Here and Now. Accept your past as your past, live in this moment for who you want to be today and tomorrow.

Passion

Aries are known for their Passion. But what is passion? I looked it up and the Wiki gave me the best definition!

“Passion can range from eager interest in or admiration for an idea, proposal, or cause; to enthusiastic enjoyment of an interest or activity; to strong attraction, excitement, or emotion towards a person. It is particularly used in the context of romance or sexual desire, though it generally implies a deeper or more encompassing emotion than that implied by the term lust.”

Can confirm. This is one of the most relatable Aries things I have ever read.

Obviously, It’s no secret that Aries are willing to get down and dirty for the things that they love (Getting down is something Aries love as well).

Harness that passion by seeking out or rededicating yourself to a hobby, book a trip, or jump into a new project at work.

Honor your romantic heart, your sexual drive and your desire.

Ambition

Fire is the only element to exist through transformation. Fire has a life, and like so many aspects of our world, if it's not growing then it's dying. So like it's counterparts, this Fire sign is always looking to grow, to become bigger, stronger, faster, smarter.

You can lean into this Aries energy by allowing yourself to dream big, be ambitious! Consciously explore what you DESIRE (see above).

Speaking of ambition, why not start by winning your morning? Check out Rise and Shine! Win The Morning and Win The Day with the 7 Morning Habits!

As the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries are known as the trailblazers of the zodiac and are natural born leaders. As such Aries energy is  associated with the Emperor Card in Tarot.

Often times we think that we have to be awarded the title of leader. But I believe that Simon Sinuk said it best "Leadership is the care you take in taking care of those in your charge." Meaning that we can be a leader for ourselves, our families, our friends, communities etc.

Where can you step into being a leader in your life?

A Word of Caution

Like all things, there is a polarity within Aries energy and it wouldn’t be fair to mention only the strengths. so here are a few things to watch out for

• In spite of the inherent drive in Aries, given their “Here and Now” attitude + confidence it is MORE THAN COMMON for Aries to fall victim to impulsivity and procrastination. This is precisely why we don’t operate from a singular element or sign. Fire needs structure or it burns out of control. So be driven, be confident, be optimistic…but be mindful when accessing risk, know the time and energy you have to invest, and plan.

• Passion as you may have guessed has predestined Aries to the sins of Wrath and Lust. Cultivating awareness and healthy expressions of anger and sexual desire are important for EVERYONE but especially Aries.

• COMBATIVE. Knowing what you stand for comes with a price - You have to actually stand up for what you believe in. Aries are infamously known for calling people TF out and won’t pull any punches. So if you are working with Aries energy, don’t be surprised if some contention arises as you are called forth to defend where you stand.
