Aries Aries

December 18 ~ January 1, 2025

Slow it down. Not just your steps, but back it up with your breath. Your ruler Mars is retrograde in fellow fire sign Leo, symbolizing a return to the heart. I always start with you when writing the Starcasts, as the entire wheel starts with Aries. As I proceed to type in silence, all I can hear are two things: the hum of a floor heater at my feet and the sound of my own heartbeat. What a reminder for Leo: HEAT+HEART. The retrograde function has you naturally dropping more deeply within yourself to ponder the meaning of life, and how your evolving purpose fits on the grander stage. You may be reflecting upon desires that have been fully lived out and extinguished, similar to a wave finishing its cycle as it finally reaches the shore. You are currently throwing kindle into the inner fire to see what ignites. Your body will tell you the truth every time, just follow the heat. Your ruler Mars governs desires held within the Soul, and it is your choices that acting upon these desires that will dictate the rate and speed of your evolution.  “Sip by sip, I enjoyed the sparkling water, its bubbles reminding me of the rush of desires in the human mind. They would continue to rise till the water turned flat, but this did not mean I had to drink hurriedly. Bubbles of ambition and desire, of situation and circumstance of thought and emotion, would keep emerging, but I still had the option of enjoying my drink one sip at a time, at my own pace. These bubbles were good, they were even necessary. They were not to be loathed but enjoyed, for they had made the flat water sparkle in the first place” (Om Swami). Your job at this juncture is to feel into what makes your journey sparkle with greater passion and intention. Mercury is officially moving onward and upward again as well in fellow fire sign Sagittarius, energizing more inspiration and optimism for the road ahead. Give yourself the freedom to harness every red-hot detail of its timely unfolding.

The bigger the fire, the greater the LIGHT!

Have a Warm & Soulful Solstice
