Element: Fire
Highlights: Spring Equinox
The element of this time is fire. Creativity is captivating us all as the union of our past pains and future joys become one under this transit. All of our dormant talents, forbidden expressions, and unhealthy ways of being are birthed force. We are being asked to recognize this. This shift is showing up in the personality changes we are experiencing in ourselves and others. Our ways of reacting are changing. We are choosing to respond out of calm and this is because we are learning through our fire. Our passion is awakening our ability to feel again. To feel alive and curious. Bold and all powerful we demand our dreams to be here now. The Aries fire asks us to push through but the cooperation of our universal energies ask us to be patient. We are operating in new paths of alignment and ascension and the adjustment can be uncomfortable. You may notice recurring moments of confusion, intense feeling, or vivid dreams. You may be feeling compelled to take action on new or old projects and ventures. Be honest with yourself on your continued journey of bravery and rebirth.
Important Planetary Aspects:
Sun enters aries March 20th until April 19th
The Sun represents how we express ourselves and how we experience life. On March 20th, 2018 the Sun makes its annual transit into the Fire sign of Aries. When the Sun is in Aries it helps to awaken the creative force within us all. Suddenly we have the desire to ACT, NOW. Aries also carries the essence of competition and self assertion. During this time it's important for us to be intentional with the words that we choose. Harsh tongues may burn bridges but make sure you are still direct and honest.
The Sun in Aries also brings a new wave of fresh ideas. We are more confident in acting outside of the box. We are ready to be better than we were before. Just remember that this energy brings impatience. With Saturn and Mars in Capricorn there is great reward in being practical and strategizing for the long term. Go slow and confidently. Nothing can stop the patient believer.
Mercury Goes Retrograde in Aries until April 15th
Mercury represents our communication. It is the planet that births our need to express and to learn. On March 22, 2018 at 8:18 pm Mercury goes retrograde in Aries until April 15th. Mercury retrograde typically presents itself as a slow time where problem solving and reworking is favored. Mercury Retrograde is not a time to kick things into high gear. Instead this slow down asks that you review what you have recently started for errors and areas of revision.
This march’s retrograde in Aries is Challenging Mercury’s desires to slow down. The Aries fire sign essence influences you to speed up with little thought or feeling. This brings experiences of collision or chaos. These experiences birth the necessary awakenings needed to continue our acceleration into new ground. So don’t be alarmed if you find yourself in heated debates or passionate exchanges. Mercury in Aries intensifies the bold, direct, fiery communication notorious of the retrograde period. Finding a consistent paced routine brings manifested results with less resistance during this time.
