Aries Season runs from March 20th until April 19th and has Tarot connections to The Emperor & The Tower, numerological links to Death and energetic links to the Queen of Wands and the King of Cups.

The potentially fiery nature of this season means that it’s crucial to trust our emotional realms for balance and repair. This is alchemy between Fire and Water, our capacity and our emotions. It can be a potent time for magic making.As we move through the threshold of the Spring Equinox here in the N.Hemisphere, you can't help but notice the change in daylight and weather. The buds are and shoots are making moves and you can feel the potential of it all. Potential is a wonderful key word for the themes that are coming up. We have the potential for foundational change and growth supported by the zodiac and Tarot energies of this time of year.

The Emperor is our guide for taking up our space and the development of self-belief, the Tower is our support during the much needed assessment and clearing of what is no longer for us and The Queen of Wands the magic maker, the witch in the deck, and is here to support us in creating our own brand of magic (you can't work with water and fire together without a little alchemy). Can you get a sense how some of us more introverted and quiet souls may find this time a bit...much? Those with fiery, outgoing and outwardly creative temperaments may absolutely revel in the energy of this time of year but for some of us, we need to take a little more of a slow and cautious approach in order to soothe our nervous systems.

Some of the general themes we may feel pulled to explore during this season might be things like connecting to our core values, assessment of our foundations and life structures, taking up space in our own lives, change of routine/habits, changing circumstances, intentional change, internal shifts, new viewpoints, new ways of working/being, making magic, connecting to our magic moments, seeing magic in our mundane, making room for the unknown.

It's also really important to note that the Emperor allows us to see where and how we can expand out from a really solid foundation. That foundation is the work we do with The Empress. The Tower clears away any unstable structures or the debris from an unstable structure that we haven't fully gotten rid of yet. This is an amazing time to have a good look and assess (with gentle curiosity) the structures (familial, societal, habits, routines, ways of thinking and believing, core values, etc) that make up our lives. IF you are feeling pulled towards making some foundational changes in how you approach the structure of your life or days, this makes complete sense.

For so many of us, this time of year can bring a sense of fresh energy and the pull towards new ways of wanting to do things. Exploringing these themes right now could pay off really well as long as we are also doing the work of connecting to our core values, our ways of wanting to feel and keeping in mind the ways that we work best. The tendency to follow shiny, new things that aren't actually for us can be a thing during this time so being mindful of what you are drawn to and why is really important.

Sometimes (often) the more important thing to focus on is the making of space. Sometimes what we need is room so that when a new (for us) thing what's to engage and co-create with us, we are ready and able. Adding more new things without first clearing away some kind of older, or no longer for us thing, won't really work long term. Things will just get cluttered. This is a great point to pause and connect/reflect/work with the themes from our Hermit year (which you can find further back in the blog).

In all of this, please remember: Gentle Curiosity (always and forever).
