On March 20th – Spring Equinox – the Sun moves into the constellation of Aries, the first sign on the zodiac wheel. Zoe Hind gives insights for the coming astrological month.
The Sun passes through the sign of Aries from 20 March – 20 April
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. The symbol for which is the Ram’s horns.
This is the youngest of the Fire signs that starts a new zodiac cycle at the Spring Equinox.
Head first we journey down the birth canal of Pisces to be reborn at into the Aries new year with fresh hope and plenty of energy.
Aries is an anagram of Arise. The Old Irish name for this sign is Niamh Eirge means rising fire.
At this time of year the rivers swell and the sap rises in the trees, species mate under the Equinox Full Moon and the planet throbs with new life.
Headstrong and raring to go, impulsive, dynamic and willful are all attributes of this sign.
Aries rules the head so we must manage our energy well during this month to avoid rash decisions, headaches and burn out. With Uranus transiting through Aries for the next few years, the neural pathways are firing in new directions bringing insight and flashes of rebellious brilliance.
Aries ruling planet is Mars, the graceful warrior whose symbol is a circle and an arrow representing a shield and a spear.
Esoterically it is where we take our solar life force energy and direct it.

So how to work with this energy?
Every year as the Sun passes through Aries we are all immersed in this specific frequency and able harness the energy.
We all have Aries in our chart somewhere and the position (or house/s) that it occupies shows us where we can best apply the beneficial aspects and tackle the challenges that it brings.
Physically – Aries is focussed on the head. Pushing forwards, head-first is a characteristic of Aries. However learning when to act and when to be still can save a lot of pain, headaches and frustration.
Mentally – With Uranus passing through this sign for the next few years, the neural pathways of our brains are being rewired. Make some room for bold, daring and revolutionary new ways of thinking to come flooding in…
Emotionally – The axis of Aries/Libra is, on a low level aggressive/passive. So to work on any passive aggressive feelings and behaviour during this month will help clear the channels to more harmonious relationships.
Soulfully – Aries starts the cycle of Life and to begin with it is all about the Self. However, after a few times around the wheel, an elevated Aries recognises and harmonises with the higher/inner Self. This is their true calling.
