Astro-Themes & Insights

ACTION, CONFIDENCE AND LEADERSHIP

Aries Season burns again, as the Sun is restored to a balance. Being the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries represents a fresh start, a new beginning. It ushers in a spark of inspiration, a moment where the torch in our hearts is lit aflame. Ruled by Mars, it is energetic, kinetic and bright. In the realm of the Ram, we explore new territory and build pathways where they once were not. We alchemize creativity with passion, becoming an unstoppable force of light, life and joy. We are ignited. We are refreshed. We are renewed.

WORK WITH ARIES SEASON

While the Sun travels through energetic and passionate Aries, we turn our attention to the themes of Action and Confidence. The fire in our souls burns endlessly with the warm energy of this Cardinal Fire sign. The eclipses start within days of Aries Season beginning, further awakening the flames in the wells of our being. Below are ways to work with Aries Season:

1. Fire Magick
Write your intentions for the new astrological year on a piece of paper and burn them in a fire-safe vessel. Then, bury the ashes in the ground to allow them to take shape.

2. Candlelight Reflections
Mars rules Aries and has connections to Tuesday. Every Tuesday evening, burn your favourite candle and write your weekly inspirations in the Magic of I. 2024 planner or in your own journal. Let the fire from the candle ignite your inspiration.

3. Soak Up The Sun
The Sun is exalted in Aries, so take time to (safely) soak up the brilliant rays of the Sun during Aries Season. Spend at least 30 minutes in the sunshine. Don't forget your SPF!

4. Wear Orange, Yellow or Red
Embody the energy of Mars and Aries through color! Wear orange, yellow, red, gold, or crimson to energize yourself and stimulate more passion in your daily life

From fire to ash, we are born again, brought back to life by flames of desire. We reawaken the passion in our hearts and embody the beauty of our new sense of being.
