Enter the season of the Soulful Warrior

This is YOUR time

Happy solar return, Aries!

March asks that you slow down until the Sun reaches your sign on the 20^th. Not only are you adjusting to having two extremely slow moving planets in your sign – Saturn and Neptune, March brings an eclipse, a Mercury retrograde and ruler Mars conjunct the North Node in your 12^th. All of this points to you adopting a Wait and See approach. It’s the season of spring, but it is also the Season of the Soulful Warrior, Aries.

Mars’ arrival into your 12^th (2^nd), creates a five factor stellium in this house. Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and the North Node. Venus will move on into your sign on the 6^th. Mars is absent its usual get-up-and-go charge in here. It’s subtle, on the down-low, more concerned with what’s happening within than it is in taking outer action. Don’t underestimate it however. It’s in psychic detective mode. Should it uncover facts that show you someone no longer deserves to be on your crew, it will act decisively. Mars may be more spiritual and less impulsive in your 12^th. But that doesn’t mean its a pushover.

Pro tip during this heavy 12^th house transit: Keep your plans to yourself unless you are 100% certain that who you confide in will keep them in the vault. If in any doubt, choose to talk things through with a professional who is bound by a code of ethics.

That slow down and need to keep your plans to yourself, applies to the total lunar eclipse in Virgo and your 6^th (3^rd).Especially when it comes to work and wellbeing matters. This is your emotional and physical astro check up. Your state of being and how what you do – everything from your day job to your habits, routine and the who or what you surround yourself with, impacts on you. Mind, body and soul. Pay close attention to your energy levels. What drains you, what motivates you and also your coping mechanisms. The things you may reach for to self-soothe or power through. From that glass of wine to energy drinks or the more positive steps like that run or work-out. Go for the good.

Eclipses always conceal. This one is no exception. As it is a total eclipse, this is a real cover up. Something you do or engage in which has a more profound impact on you than you imagined. You may want to keep track of this in the two days leading up to the eclipse and the two days following it. It’s only when we slow down or stop that we really start noticing the impact of the small stuff. Bigger than we originally thought.

If you are thinking of changing your job or even have plans for a side-hustle, again, be mindful about who you share this with. Especially co-workers who may gossip. Also people may steal your ideas. You may therefore choose to nurture those plans in secret until you are ready to press start. Wait until Mercury is out of retroshade early next month if you can. Post eclipse – look to true colours and agendas being exposed across the 13^th – 15^th.

The new Moon in your 12^th appears the day before the brazen, blazing Sun springs into your 1^st. You’ll relish that feeling of having prioritised down-time and also not scattering the energy around those hopes, wishes and dreams amongst the unworthy, Aries. This is a new moon of secrets and hidden resources. The main one being that it peaks your energy. Allowing you to hit the ground running the following day as your new cycle officially begins along with the start of the astrological new year and spring.

Last month’s zero degree meeting between Saturn and Neptune in your sign may have left some of you wondering: What’s the big deal? This often happens with major cosmic events. We expect major shifts on the day they occur – and this does happen for many people. But they can appear to be an anticlimax for others. If you’ve experienced a let-down, what you are actually waiting for is for a personal planet to cross the zero degree where the conjunction took place – and activate it. This applies to the point where all major cosmic encounters happen.

This is YOUR time, Aries. Look to the arrival of Venus (6^th), the conjunctions between Venus, Neptune and Saturn (7th-8th), and the Sun’s arrival (20^th). These are dates when the energy created by the Saturn/Neptune meeting will be triggered. This is fresh-baked potential waiting for you to harness it. It’s been quietly building but now you get to unleash it. Direct it on these dates by taking action and channelling it into image enhancements, rebrands, relaunches and those personal goals and ambitions.

You are now entering a birthday cycle like no other. It’s awash with possibilities which you are able to ground in a way that you may have found elusive before. There’s a freshly defined certainty around who you are and what you want, Aries. An unmistakeable and unmissable 4K clarity around your identity and your intentions. Your potential is unleashed. Your future now takes shape.

Determine what this looks like, Aries. Hold that vision in your mind. Fuse it with clear steps you need to take. Then – across the 22^nd – 25^th take action on it. This is when the Sun will engage with first Neptune and then Saturn. It’s not simply a new cycle. It’s a new you meeting an entire new paradigm. You’ve spend the first three weeks of the month discharging and releasing what you no longer need. As well a recharging yourself – body, mind and soul. You’re poised and ready in a way you’ve never been before. Adept, courageous and untamed when it comes to the steps you’re willing to take. The Sun feeds the fire within you. Let the world see you light up. And blaze that trail, baby!

In a nutshell: The Soulful Warrior doesn’t hurry or bow to pressure. They wait for the right moment secure in their decisions. And their timing. That’s you in the run-up to your birthday, Aries. A new approach. And a brand new you.
