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!
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!
Ok, Let's go through the houses-
1st House: You are ready to kick off strongly, share your ambitious goals with others and fearlessly chasing after them. You will discover a heightened sense of self-awareness and a strong desire to harmonize your personal brand with your interests. This period is an excellent opportunity to make a lasting impression.
2nd House: In the second house of income, seize the chance to transform your great ideas into successful endeavors by presenting them during this period. You will become more attuned to hobbies and tasks that align with your values, things that truly deserve your dedication. This phase promotes scheduling organization, boosting self-esteem, and enhancing your financial results.
3rd House: In the third house of communication, expect a vibrant and socially engaging month. Fill your schedule with bustling social events with friends, and you will feel compelled to interact with everyone in your social circle. Redirect your focus towards fostering friendships and satisfying your curiosity. You might want to collaborate with friends or siblings to plan a local getaway or join an online course, like the “Embody Your Astrology” digital course!
4th House: Your attention will mainly turn towards your loved ones and personal life. If you feel the need to take a break and unwind more than usual, embrace it without guilt, especially given your typical commitment to hard work. This phase offers a wonderful chance to focus on strengthening bonds with your nearest family and friends, sharing memories, and proactively addressing any emotional healing that may arise.
5th House: In the 5th house, which symbolizes romance and self-expression, you may experience a surge in carefree and joyful energy. If you've been caught up in tight deadlines, it might be beneficial to pause and introduce more leisure time for fun, spontaneity, and creative pursuits – especially with loved ones. You'll discover how this can actually boost your productivity!
6th House: Positioned in the sixth house associated with routine and well-being, this period is perfect for tackling those seemingly minor tasks on your agenda. By addressing doctor appointments or postponed organizational duties, you'll experience a heightened sense of tranquility and concentration. Moreover, you may find yourself inspired to try out new fitness methods, driven by a newfound assurance in looking after your health.
7th House: Emphasizing one-on-one relationships is crucial in this placement. It goes beyond focusing on a partner, friend, business associate, or family member. While progress can be achieved in shared goals and quality time with loved ones, this phase also allows you to strengthen your own identity. Evaluate how you provide support and receive it in return, empowering you to have a stronger sense of self-awareness.
8th House: In the eighth house, which emphasizes emotional connections and intimacy, you might discover a tendency to openly express emotions and engage in deep conversations with loved ones. Shallow interactions could seem unfulfilling as you are drawn towards exploring profound emotions, yours as well as those of others. Moreover, this phase offers a wonderful chance to advance in initiatives related to shared assets like investments, savings, or settling debts.
9th House: An excellent time to break away from routine and venture into uncharted territories is through long-distance travel, acquiring new expertise, or teaming up with a mentor to gain novel insights into your current beliefs. Embracing change at this moment can bring true satisfaction and push you beyond your familiar boundaries.
10th House: This house relates to your career and public image. It's a good time to focus on your professional aspirations. Your superiors may appreciate your ability to initiate innovative projects and could even suggest you take on a higher-level role.
11th House: This house represents networking and long-term goals. You’re goign to want to concentrate on a significant desire. Embracing this desire could lead you towards true satisfaction, especially when you engage with your supportive network. These relationships and friendships will propel you towards the vision of your future self.
12th House: During this time, you might experience a sense of peace and tranquility as Aries season highlights your twelfth house, which is connected to spirituality and inner magic. You may seek more solitude and participate in activities that promote relaxation and rejuvenation. Pay attention to your dreams, as they might be vivid and inspire new goals that you'll feel inspired to pursue in the coming month.

Aquarius New Moon
FEBRUARY 9 · 2:59 PM PST · 20° AQUARIUS
Are you willing to embrace the potential for something even better?

The energy of this New Moon can bring about an internal uprising and a drive to innovate. Both luminaries together in the sky ignites excitement about venturing beyond comfort zones and making significant changes.
This energy hints at an impending shift, urging us to move and evolve, does this resonate with similar feelings you have been experiencing?
During the new moon, it is a prime time to sow the seeds for your desires to manifest. Pull in closer your hopes, wishes & dreams for your future. The current cosmic energy encourages exploring fresh ideas, envisioning a new self, and recognizing that past strategies may no longer serve your future aspirations. Growth and evolution necessitate shedding old ways and embracing a transformed self. The new moon signifies an opportunity for significant change.
By embracing the Aquarian influence, you can adopt a fresh outlook, welcome change, and pave the way for a more genuine and satisfying future. Be open to the transformative energy of this new moon, which might bring sudden insights and innovative solutions. Reflect on areas where you feel restricted and consider how embracing freedom could benefit you.
Remain open to the idea that outcomes may differ from your expectations. Are you willing to embrace the potential for something even better?
Take this time to assess your relationships, ensuring they align authentically with your true self or need adjustment. Under the Aquarius energy, any constraints or limitations in relationships/situations/thinking may come to a head. You may discover dynamics that no longer resonate with your authentic self. The new moon can bring up what may be holding you back, provided you allow yourself the space to acknowledge it.
If you're like me, and you have been tuning into the vibration of change brought to us by the season of Aquarius, you no doubt have been feeling the push to evolve, improve, innovate. I notice a strong yearning for connection and community emerging, emphasizing the importance of expanding social circles and fostering meaningful relationships.
Under this moon I commit to a new perspective, to looking at things different, because where I am going is going to require me to do things differently and shed the parts of me that are not coming with me as I evolve into my higher self.
The house of your chart that contains 20° degrees of Aquarius is where you will feel the invitation of this new moon the most deeply.
Bring these perspectives to the Aquarius ruled area of your chart
To combat stagnation, I adopt a new outlook.
Evolution and growth push me to step away from my familiar routines.
I welcome a fresh perspective, enabling me to detach from personal issues and adopt an objective view.
Liberation & Freedom. What constraints or limitations do I see in my relationships/situations/thinking that are holding me back?
Wolf Full Moon
FULL WOLF MOON | 1.25.24 | 5° LEO | 9:54AM PST
The Wolf Moon: Self-Expression and Growth
Greetings from Minnesota,
The first full moon of the year is upon us, setting the stage for self-expression in the months ahead. This lunar event is known as the Wolf Moon, named after the wolves that howl during the chilly winter nights. As a self-proclaimed wolf enthusiast, I couldn't be more excited! There's something about these majestic creatures that truly speaks to me on a spiritual level. While full moons can often bring about drama and intense emotions, the Wolf Moon of January 2024 is all about letting go of repressed fears and insecurities to unleash your creative full potential. So, let's heed the call of the wild and embrace this opportunity for growth and transformation.
Honoring Yourself with the Full Moon
The full moon is a time of both celebration and self-reflection. Take a moment to appreciate your accomplishments and consider what needs attention in your life to enact positive change. This full moon is all about love – specifically, loving yourself for who you are and embracing your creativity. Remember, we are only here for a short while, so pursue joy in your life, even in the simplest of pleasures. Take the time to recognize what makes you shine and embrace that part of yourself, even if it feels scary. It's easy to get caught up in seeking validation from others, but this moon wants to remind you that self-love is the most important kind. You are worthy of love and adoration, and that begins with loving yourself. So, let yourself be heard and stand tall in your truth. Howl with the highest vibration of love and without fear, for this moment shall not come again.
To see what the Wolf Moon has in store for you, check your astrological chart for the house containing 5° of Leo. This will reveal the specific area of your life that is calling for you.

It's a great time to share your ideas, engage in intellectual pursuits, and strengthen connections with siblings or neighbors. Embrace your creativity and let your voice be heard!
4th House: The theme is home, family & emotional foundations. Notice a strong desire for warmth and connection within your family.

Scorpio Season: Embracing the Momentum & New Moon Energy
As a Scorpio, this is a favorite time of year. However, with the momentum picking up, it can also feel a bit overwhelming. That's where the Scorpio new moon comes in, providing us with the focus we need to finish strong in 2023. Personally, I'm excited to blaze through the remainder of the year and into 2024. But first, let's take advantage of the energy from the new moon in Scorpio.
The Scorpio sign is known for its immense power, and the first new moon following the full moon solar eclipse makes it even more impactful. This new moon in Scorpio is the perfect opportunity for a fresh start, either in a new project or by turning over a new leaf. It's time to manifest your goals and aspirations. This new moon also presents some important questions to consider: Where do you need more control? Where do you need to step into your power? What are you hiding that needs to be released? Take some time to reflect on these inquiries and use the energy of the Scorpio new moon to your advantage.
In astrology, Scorpio represents intensity. With the arrival of a new moon, the spotlight shifts to matters of intimacy, control, power, money, and sharing. This will be particularly emphasized in the days leading up to Monday. This presents a unique opportunity for new beginnings or fresh starts in these areas. So, what would you like to initiate this month?
Scorpio is also associated with focus, encompassing staying power and personal strength. Scorpio embodies the "P" words: passion, power, probing, perception, penetration, and purging – diving deep beyond the surface.
This is the time for TRANSFORMATION. Where in your life are you ready to transform? 20° of Scorpio may be a clue!
Exploring Our Hidden Desires with the Scorpio Moon
The Scorpio moon urges us to confront our deepest desires. What is simmering beneath the surface, waiting to be revealed or released? When the sun and moon align in the sky, Scorpio emerges from the shadows, the depths, and the unknown. Under the dark, tranquil sky, you have permission to:
Stay in and take it easy
Surrender to solitude
Focus on self-care and personal needs
Strengthen your intuition and dreams
Concentrate on healing
Enhance your intimate relationships
This is the perfect moon for sultry practices, such as slow dancing, free writing, and drawing out emotions. Give life to your deepest thoughts and feelings.
Insights to Consider During the Psychic Scorpio Season: Uranus & Mars Influence
As the Scorpio season approaches, be mindful of the emotions and insights you encounter, as they may come at you fast like flashes of electricity. With the sky currently low in air and fire, it's a time to focus on feelings before planning your next steps. The energies of Uranus and Mars will play a significant role in answering the question of what you should do next, but be aware of their possible unexpected revelations, impulses, and even aggression.
Here are some tips to help you navigate this time:
Be cautious of throwing everything away, and instead focus on liberating yourself from anything that you have not let go of from the recent eclipse season.
Watch out for impatience or irritation, and practice patience. Timing is everything, so trust in that.
With little fire in the sky, take the time to journal and reflect on your emotions before taking conscious action.
If you're struggling to take the first step or muster up the courage to speak out, Mars may help you assert your independence and chase your desires more aggressively and selfishly. Remember that the North Node is in Aries, encouraging a little selfishness in going after what you want, while still considering others.
With Sun conjunct Mars in Scorpio, you have the drive, energy, and initiative to pursue your professional aspirations. This aspect provides you with the courage, assertiveness and passion to tackle challenges and fulfill your desires. You'll find yourself more eager and enthusiastic about the things that you're truly passionate about. This combination of courage, strength, and focus will enable you to overcome obstacles and accomplish your goals with ease.
If you have 20° Scorpio in:
1st House: Here's how to focus your attention on your inner power: Take the time to reflect on where you might be limiting yourself. Trust in your abilities and listen to your inner fire. Remember, you are the artist of your life.
2nd House: This House centers on self-worth, prompting you to examine where you might be giving away your power. Practicing mindfulness with your spending could be beneficial. If you've prioritized this area, it's possible that your effort might pay off through dividends.
3rd House: A Focus on Communication. It is vital to clear your throat chakra and speak your truth. It's important to draw clear boundaries with siblings or chosen family. Make sure they are firm and well-defined.
4th House: Emphasize your private space and honor close family relationships. Embody your dream home and family, focus on the ways you can feel emotionally fulfilled and safe in this world.
5th House: Embrace your powerful presence and overcome insecurities by taking center stage. Time to confidently show off your skills and own the spotlight.
6th House: Transform your daily routines by making them more meaningful and turning them into rituals. Infuse intimacy and joy into your routines, and reflect on the practices that don't bring you happiness – don't be afraid to let them go!
7th House: Have you ever considered what role you play in your relationship? If things aren't going as planned, have you asked for what you truly want? Never underestimate the power of your connections. It's important to acknowledge and celebrate them.
8th House: Your true passion is calling out to you and cannot be ignored any longer. Although the transformation may be intimidating, there is much to gain from embracing it. In addition to the personal and emotional benefits, there may also be financial rewards, such as partnerships or collaborations that pay off.
9th House: If you're still limiting your aspirations, it's time to break free from those constraints. The universe is full of opportunities, and all you need to do is step outside of your comfort zone. Keep searching, and you will certainly find what you're looking for!
10th House: It's time to shine! All of your hard work has brought you to this point in your career. Concentrate and pursue your goals with determination. Go after what you want and make it happen!
11th House: The Importance of your inner circle-surrounding yourself with the right people is crucial to your success. It's okay if not everyone is meant to share your space – find your tribe. Connecting with your spiritual "running buddies" can be a powerful source of motivation and inspiration.
12th House: Power is a place of deep intuition and spiritual awakening. If you can tune into this frequency, you'll find yourself empowered and greatly rewarded. Believe in yourself, trust your instincts, and the universe will respond in kind, opening up new possibilities you never thought possible.
May this new moon bring you renewed energy and inspiration to embrace your full potential and become the best version of yourself. You've been nurturing and growing this inner strength for some time now, and the moment has finally arrived to unleash it!

Sagittarius Full Moon
Today is a Full Moon in Sagittarius.
Sagittarius is the sign of the zodiac that is about truth, optimism and adventure - welcoming what’s on the horizon with open arms.
To be honest, Sagittarius doesn’t have time for what happened in the past, that which is not worth carrying. There is much adventure to be had, and that is too heavy a load to carry on this journey.
This Full Moon is aiming for the horizon on a quest for freedom, knowledge and experiencing the wild and expansive flavors life has to offer.
8:42 PDT tonight at 13° the Sagittarius the Moon will be full.
To find what this new moon is illuminating specifically for you, in your chart, find the house where you have 13° of Sagittarius.

This moon is full of fire energy and is here to support you as long as you’re truly being honest with yourself.

Jupiter in Taurus
May 16, 2023 - May 25, 2024
Today, Jupiter has entered Taurus, where it will remain for the next year.
Jupiter rules over expansion, growth, and abundance, while Taurus is associated with stability and material comforts.
Jupiter in Taurus brings focus on material abundance, stability, and growth. This alignment can indicate a time of financial prosperity as well as a desire for comfort and luxury. This placement gifts a more practical approach to life and brings a strong appreciation for the arts, beauty, and nature.
Jupiter is the benefic planet of optimism, joy, abundance, expansion and good fortune. It is also associated with higher learning, philosophy, and spirituality.
Taurus is the sign of the earth goddess, the ruler of money, our ideals, and the material world. Taurus is ruled by Venus and associated with being grounded, material comforts, and sensuality. This sign is practical, loves details, moves at a slow/steady pace, and values stability & security above all else.
So what else does this bring?
Appreciation. Appreciating the comforts that surround us in our homes and daily lives. The desire for the finer things and the quality which they represent, but recognizing the hard work that went into creating those luxuries.
Indulgence. Material possessions and luxury. Delicious foods, fine wines, expensive experiences. The influx of dopamine and pleasure from Jupiter in Taurus can be a time of over indulgence.
Presence. This is a time of magnifying presence. Being in the moment. Breathing in the beauty that surrounds us. Leaning into what makes us feel safe, and planting roots in ways that provide us with the lifestyle that supports our dreams. Jupiter and Taurus asks us to slow down to smell the roses. To be present to honor the process that bring order to our lives and to work on building a strong foundation for our dreams. To honor that which we can take in through our five senses. This is where sensuality flourishes.
Pleasure. This time is supporting you to find pleasure in the simplest of things, finding pleasure in the mundane. Can you find the pleasure in your day-to-day life? Can you slow down enough to truly take in the magic and wonder that’s around you? Give yourself the permission to indulge in life’s simple pleasures.
As a collective, we have all have access to this abundant energy. But, for each of us it is showing up in a different area of our lives. The house where Taurus is rooted in your birth chart is where Jupiter is bringing its expensive and joyful energy. This area of life you can expect to be highlighted and blessed by Jupiter in Taurus.
For me, I have Taurus in both my fourth and fifth houses. The fourth house is the house of family, home & my inner self. The fifth house is the house of self expression, romance, being seen, creativity, & the area of life where I enter the stage and seek an audience. Jupiter will activate my North Node while it is here as well. The North Node is your soul’s purpose and represents your key to enlightenment this lifetime, and I could not be more excited! I get to slow down and really take in the moments with my family. I’m reminded to slow down and honor what’s truly important and in the beauty that surrounds me. The peacefulness of where I live, the nature that surrounds me, the lake that I look at every day, the woods that I walk in, and the animals that surround me, where my true heart and soul lie. My self expression, creativity and what my destiny is pointing at this lifetime is being blessed by Jupiter.

Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
We have a full moon and Lunar Eclipse on Friday, May 5 at 1:34 PM Eastern time. A full moon in Scorpio, you can already feel the intensity behind this full moon. Full moons are intense already, but given the cosmic calendar of events that are happening around this full moon, (Lunar Eclipse, opposite Uranus, Mercury Retrograde) the energy that is building up to Friday is powerful. Themes for Scorpio revolve around death, rebirth, & transformation.
Does that make you uncomfortable? Good. It's time to move.
There is a deep psychological frequency radiating from this full moon. Where are you holding onto things that are no longer, or that you can’t bring with you as you step into this new phase of your life. What have you outgrown?
What do you need to shed like the snakes sheds its skin, in order to emerge in your new, bright, shiny self?
This lunar eclipse is happening over the South Node, which represents our comfort zones, where we default to, our past lives, the baggage we carry, what we know, and what we’re moving away from this lifetime.
Some things need to be removed, and that's why Uranus is involved, for the sake of radical change. Change is going to happen.
What is keeping you in the past, and how do you detach from it?
The area of life that is being illuminated for you is found in the house where you have 15 degrees of Scorpio.
Themes around a Scorpio full moon can bring up jealousy, manipulation, and control, because the ask is for you to let go of all that.
Moon in Scorpio is deep, it is shadow work, it is healing, all themes that can come up during this full moon, but a reminder to not forget to celebrate under the light of this radiant luminary. Release is beautiful. Intimacy is beautiful. Sex is beautiful. What drives you, your desires deserves to be celebrated. Pay attention to what bubbles up to the surface this week. What inner healing is calling from Mercury Retrograde that is still bringing up things from the past that which the intensity of Scorpio is asking us to heal from so that we can transform, be reborn, and thrive into the highest versions of ourselves?
On Friday night when you find yourself underneath the stars and the radiant glow of the full moon, take a breath and acknowledge the transformation that you have already gone through and celebrate what you’ve already accomplished. Yes, there is more work to be done, but don’t forget to celebrate your passions, the intensity, and that which you do with what you love, & the focus that you’ve demonstrated to get you where you are. These are all things that deserve to be celebrated. Celebrate who you no longer are, and who you’re leaving in the past. Take a look around at where you are how far you’ve come, and the transformation that you’ve already demonstrated that deserves to be celebrated.
Happy Full Moon
