Aries Season 2024

It's Aries season, marking the astrological start of the new year. Cheers to the astrological new year – we've made it! I am thrilled about this fresh energy. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries signifies a new beginning. Let's leave the past seasons behind as we embrace change and step into a year unlike any other. Aries represents the warrior archetype – bold, passionate, and ruled by the fiery planet Mars. This season is a personal favorite of mine. It embodies the energy we seek when starting something new, aiming to conquer, initiate, dominate, lead, excel, and achieve success. It's the Aries energy we call upon. I adore this season for its liberating, motivating, and exhilarating vibes.

If you are feeling it too you're eager for growth ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and really growth this year, consider joining my digital course Embody Your Astrology this will help you to unlock new insights and skills. Because As we go through this episode we will talk about how this season is about the self, investing in personal endeavors for our personal advancement, now there is still going to be a lot of lingering Pisces influence, and what may  usually be an outward focused Aries season, you may find that what lights your internal fires has an inward focus, or desire for self discovery, so this is a perfect season to learn something new, do something for yourself, to empower yourself and what a perfect way to do that using the tools that your astrology can provide. You can sign up today, ashleybellastrology.com, and really start living your astrology!

At this moment, it's a chance for a fresh start, a restart, a renewal. While the traditional human calendar marks the new year in January, that time falls in the depths of winter (in the northern hemisphere). Mother nature is not starting anything- she is still n reflection and rest. But now, this, is the astrological beginning of a new year. Happy New Year!

It's a cosmic refresh, a cosmic restart. If you've been following along with me through each season, you've been gearing up for this since January. It was during Capricorn season that we began planning, setting goals, and organizing ourselves for the year ahead. Aquarius season challenged us to think broader, think differently, and consider new perspectives on our dreams and future goals. As we transition from the dreamy, spiritual Pisces season, which focuses on endings and unseen realms, we reflect on the lessons of the zodiac signs we've traversed. It's a time to dream big, so that when Aries season arrives, we are fueled with excitement and determination to pursue our desires. The current energy signifies the thrill of embarking on a journey, where we eagerly leap from the starting line with a go-getter attitude.

Individuals with an Aries sun, moon, or rising sign, or a predominantly Aries chart, typically exhibit a direct, sometimes confrontational, no-nonsense leadership and personality style.

WHAT DOES THIS ARIES SEASON HAVE IN STORE?

This Aries season promises to be exceptional, filled with adventure, new beginnings, unexpected endings(foreshadowing for the upcoming eclipse season), passion, drive, excitement, competition, and a sense of rejuvenation.

Now there's a few other things I want to note which I will cover in more depth in the upcoming Bellastrology podcast episodes - but these are really strong players  that are going to be making plays over the next month that you're going to want to be aware of, and mindful of what they bring to the forecast

ECLIPSE SEASON BEGINS

On March 25th, right on the heels of the start of Aries season, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will occur in Libra, bringing a surge of transformative energy. Eclipses introduce volatility and sudden shifts, leading to endings and new beginnings. This potent Full Moon Eclipse will support us in releasing the urge to seek approval from others, allowing us to prioritize self-authenticity. It's essential to be aware of shedding codependent behaviors and embracing independence during this phase.

The close of the portal is the New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 8th in the featured sign of Aries, really cementing the importance of the work you are doing in the name of you self, individuality, and what's important to you.

MERCURY RETROGRATE #1

The initial retrograde of the year kicks off on April 1st - Mercury goes into retrograde (April Fools' Day!). Don't worry about retrogrades; they are simply a gentle nudge from the Universe to take things slow. If you're rushing or acting impulsively, Mercury might cause miscommunications, travel issues, or tech glitches to grab your attention. This nudging serves to remind us of the importance of finding a balance between acting impulsively and thinking things through carefully.

This is one of the things that going to require a necessary conscious tempering of Aries' impulsiveness. Stay mindful of where you direct your energy to avoid potential chaos, especially in the eclipse's presence.

HOW TO WORK WITH ARIES SEASON

To make the most of this season, tap into the abundant energy around you and embody the Aries archetype intentionally. Consider what you want to initiate or revive, as Aries excels at beginnings. While finishing may not be their strong suit, that's acceptable since Aries marks the start of the zodiac, and there are 11 other signs to follow to help conclude and refine things. This season is about getting things off the ground. Aries embodies the qualities of a warrior – courageous, bold, outspoken, and playful.

This is all about being aware, stepping into the observer role, and maintaining control. Embrace the Aries energy to kickstart something new, to transition from planning to action.

To tap into this energy, engage in physical activities, try new exercises, and venture out of your comfort zone.  Simple yet powerful ways to connect with this energy are things like wearing the color red, lighting candles, eating spicy foods, and engaging in competitive activities and sports. These things can really heat things up and help to infuse your life with that fiery Aries essence. 

Pay attention to the area of your chart where you have Aries and the house(s) that it touches because this is the area of life being activated for the next month! This is the are of life you are being asked to be a trailblazer, bring courage, take the lead, where no one is going to tell you no!
