The Start of a New Cycle
Aries season insights
The sun into the constellation of Aries is the start of a new astrological year
If we were situated in the middle of the earth and looked east, we would see the global ascendant, the rising sign - the point which represents the beginning of the cycle of life.
This is where the Aries constellation lives.
On March 20th, the sun enters this constellation and Aries season begins. Be annoyed at people who have great difficulty waiting until you finish your sentence to speak all you want - we need this energy. It helps us get over painful events; it helps us start anew.
It gives us a second chance at life - a new script. Because Aries, my dearies, cannot fucking stand sitting in a puddle of sob stories.
And did I mention it can curse like a sailor? Arrrrrr! Ye be a fuck-tard! I imagine an Aries would say something along those lines. But then it can rally to defend what needs to be defended - the softest of tummies, the most vulnerable of psychological states.
Where Aries may not value societal trends of couth-ness, it is loyal to its kin. More than most are capable of, which is why it’s best to be on its side - not trying to fight against it’s right to pursue it’s passions. Aries has a most virile daemon supporting it, which gives it a capacity to get out of a bind like no other.
It's as if something - the aether - is supporting its pursuits. You know, the ones you might not understand or support, because you think it’s too self-absorbed - but Aries does it anyway.
But it’ll cut you off and outta its life if you cross the line. In a world obsessed with people pleasing, Aries knows the necessity of a boundary - a firm one. This doesn’t usually get a warm, welcome hug. It seems barbaric - well, perhaps not in recent years. But if we lived in a world that was interested in cutting the shit and getting to work on something that lit up our inner fire like a Christmas tree fire in August, we’d be in a good spot.
We’re getting there.
I don’t much care what anyone thinks about a sign that is so close to spirit, it can hear the call of it daily. How could I? There is some important shit going on when you’ve got that kind of relationship going on below the surface of all your daring acts of self-reclamation.
A sign most people solely see as competitive, pushy & self-centered, yet few have enough experience with to understand the huge percentage of Aries humans who are so pursuant of a spiritual connection to be guided by, it’d blow your mind.
Thing is, you're going to be rejected to some extent when you play with this energy. Which is why many folks just dismiss the fire, the anger, the passion, and saddle up to the seething resentment that builds, the longer they refuse to pursue what their own spirit consistently agitates them to pursue.
Aries pursues the call of the wildness, of their spiritual daemon, while they kick ass and take names at their own businesses, careers, relationships - whatever feels soul-informed & helps them feel alive.
They might be occasionally childish, and tussle with the run off of feeling wholly misunderstood and rejected. But the Aries capacity to be guided by the inner fire is remarkable.
The loyalty to something so many refuse to listen to - the spark that allows Aries energy to go forth and pioneer new land & new experiences IS the medicine. It is the prescription for sorrow; the healing salve for the devastation of existential abandonment pain.
We must move forward. We must move on.
We might never stop occasionally lingering by an old train wreck, or sniffing out the haunting of never being wanted in the way we naturally exist.
It’s hard. But dang it, with a loyalty to the essence of Aries - which we are called to honor and integrate into our lives every year, when the sun enters the sign that started it all - we can learn to live fully. We can begin to develop a loyalty to the power & glory in the present moment.
There’s so much damn life right here. Call it towards you.
We can begin to have reverence for the risks life demands we take. We can pay attention to life’s potential, & have respect for the courage we possess to pursue opportunities to come back to life, which exist all around us.
And we can cut the shit on all that limits our beliefs, about what’s possible. Stop devoting our essence to the lies.
There's so much more to it all than we were conditioned to believe. Explore that potential. Now, at the Aries ingress, and every day of your dang life.
My ascendant is Aries and also my daughters sun sign.
