EP 85: Sun enters Aries, aka Spring Equinox

It’s here! We’re finally exiting hibernation, in more ways than one.

This Saturday the Sun enters Aries marking the Spring Equinox, aka the beginning of the astrological New Year.

Aries season is about renewal, re-birth, moving forward. As the first sign of the zodiac, there is a naïveté that is refreshing. The archetype of Aries is the brave leader who raises his or her hand to go first and show that it’s not that scary to step into the unknown.

You might not be feeling so sharp this week though, because Mercury entered Pisces on Monday. The planet that rules your mind, logic, and critical thinking has dove into the murky, emotional waters of Pisces. When Mercury is in Pisces our thinking bows to our emotional state.

It’s imperative right now to honor your routines for your mental health: plenty of sunshine, a consistent sleep schedule, not too much alcohol, and of course, get your yoga in!

If the Sun conjunct Neptune last week brought up some old grievances or even some guilt-tripping from your friends or family, let Mercury in healing Pisces inspire you to forgive and let live.

Finally, this weekend we welcome Spring! The Sun enters Aries on Saturday where he is exalted, meaning he shines bright and inspires action.

Then on Sunday Venus joins the Sun in the enthusiastic sign of Aries.

Plus, Mars will be in a harmonious trine with Saturn, helping you map out an action plan for what’s next.

Optimism, hope, and momentum abound. Finally.
