Aries Aries
April 9 ~ April 23
Happy Solar Return, Aries! You’ve probably been saying, “the Sun can’t come soon enough”. March is God’s washing machine ~ A Pisces water-month for the most part, but it came with some additional cleansing salts that included a pair of eclipses, the first of which was a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo conjunct the South Node. In addition, both Mercury and Venus were traveling together in Aries and reversed directions in your sign, only to re-enter the water again for a spin cycle in Pisces. The intention being so that more purifying clarity could be realized. The Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 30 had your name written all over it, and you are still feeling the reverberating effects of its energy and heat, like a chariot on fire emerging from the deep blue sea. Neptune is also holding rank in your sign until October of this year when it briefly backs into Pisces until January 26, 2026. Once Neptune returns to Aries, it will remain in your sign for fourteen years, which will have you burning off any fog in your midst, allowing you to come to better know your Divine self. Mercury is now direct in Pisces and will re-enter Aries late in the west on April 15, so if the way is not clear, it soon shall be. Loving Venus is still retrograde in Pisces, which has you feeling all of those relationship ‘feels’, but stations direct on Saturday, April 12, and then re-enters Aries on April 30. So, you can see the energetic straddling in place, one foot in the rain and one foot in the fire, one foot still wading in the water, and the other foot is ready to roll. In essence, you are learning to walk in both worlds at once. You are learning patience, while trusting in life’s timing. A Super Full Moon in your opposite sign of Libra occurs on the same day that Venus, the ruler for Libra, stations direct in your house of relationships. Your ruler Mars is squaring the Aries Sun and the Libra Full Moon, which may have your emotions rounding out and rising up in a big way, with a tendency for things to backfire. Keep your reactions in check and know that Mars is also forming heavenly angles to Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, showing you a healthier channel for release, it’s called the high road. It’s a turning point period in your relationships across the board, one that holds the potential for you to either rise with the tide or fall prey to the trigger. Do yourself proud. Your ruler Mars enters fellow fire sign Leo late in the eve on April 17, increasing your confidence as well as the light of your heart’s flame, with the energy shift being downright palpable. It can feel as if the Sun is coming out inside of you. Let it raise your game. “Vibrations don’t lie. When you operate at a high frequency, low energies can’t touch you. Your frequency is your fortress. Guard it. Nurture it, and let it shine” (Penney Peirce).
May the Sun be your guide!
