This week we are really going to start to feel the potent fiery energy of the Aries season!
There may have still been some lingering Pisces watery energy last week, but now Aries season is well underway and brings with it some strong leadership, active and powerful energy.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and heralds the beginning of Spring, or Autumn depending on your location in the world.
Wherever you are, however, Aries marks the start of the astrological new year and represents new beginnings that are fuelled by its characteristic fire and positive energy.
This sign bursts with life and the energy required to get things done and make bold moves forward.
If you were looking for a sign to leap beyond your fears and look ahead with confidence to where your long-term dreams become reality, this is it!
Get the ball rolling and believe you have what it takes to make things happen.
We happen to have no major planets in retrograde either, which increases the potent energy connected to forward motion and making big steps in the direction of your dreams.
When planets are in retrograde we tend to reflect and go inward, considering the past and perhaps learning important lessons.
But with all the planets in forward motion, we can clearly focus all our attention on where we are heading instead!
Aries is associated with the head of the Ram, a symbol of creativity, new ideas, fertility, & also some strong-willed, stubborn, & possibly aggressive energy.
Mars is the planet that rules Aries, and we all know that Mars comes with a side warning of irritability, conflict, and reactive energy.
All that means is to be wary of overreacting or being overly irritable in your friendships and relationships.
Remember to take a pause and a deep breath before responding to anything that may trigger you or cause you anxiety or anger.
Aries season affects us with its fiery energy no matter what our zodiac sign is.
The Aries energy is just right for unhindered progress, you will feel bold and powerful, and be able to jump over any hurdles in your way with ease.
But how can you maximize this energy to advance your goals and provide fuel for your dreams?
The best way you can work with all this magnificent Aries energy is to embody the most positive aspects that it brings and step into your power.
Consider the following and journal around these questions:
- In what ways can you embody this leadership energy? Can you change something so that you truly feel like the leader of your life?
- What can you begin that is new? (hobbies, activities, new ways of looking at a stale situation?).
- What needs to be prioritized in your life? What actions can you take to ensure these priorities get the time they need each day?
- What new projects, ideas, or goals can you work towards this month?
- How can you feel more powerful in your life, what do you need to do to really embody your role as the writer of your reality?
- Do you really know your own worth? How can you embrace yourself more and hold yourself in high regard, believing in and loving who you are?
- I lead with intention.
- I am a creative force to be reckoned with.
- I am bold and assertive.
- I channel my energy into creativity for the world to enjoy.
- I am happy, confident, and full of good intentions.
- I stand strong in my power.
Allow yourself to write freely without thinking too hard about what you are writing.
That way you will tap into your higher self, your subconscious — the deep and hidden part of you that already knows all the answers.
The process of writing down ideas around the above questions can really help you to cement in your mind what action you need to take.
It can also help you to tap into the confidence you need to see those actions through.
Allow this exercise to really help you step out of the box. Stop defining limits for yourself!
If you want to change your priorities around, do it.
If you want to spend more time on a creative project close to your heart — find the time to devote to it and make it a part of your everyday life.
Nobody is holding you accountable for your life but you.
So don’t disappoint yourself!
Allow all this cosmic energy to be the wind beneath your wings!
One final note — don’t forget that all this intense Aries energy can cause burnout.
Remember to use some self-care practices to make sure you are taking it easy too.
Meditate, practice yoga, use essential oils and crystals, and try to carve out time for relaxation every single day.
