On 20 March the Sun moves out of dreamy, illusional and creative Pisces and into clear, concise and independent Aries.
In astrological terms this move defines the start of a whole new astrological cycle. We have been through all 12 signs of the zodiac over the last 12 months and it is now time for a whole new cycle and a whole new way of being.
Aries is the energy of clarity, independence, leadership and action. Unlike dreamy Pisces, Aries likes to take action, and has no fear of doing its own thing or sharing its own opinions. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and so when we are under this influence it becomes a lot easier to put ourselves first and to align with who we truly are.
This move of the Sun into Aries will bring you the clarity you have been waiting for to get your plans off the ground, to be able to see the woods for the trees and to feel much clearer in who you are and where you want to go. Suddenly obstacles that were emotional or illusional will dissipate and it will be much more obvious to you what you need to do and where you need to go to achieve your goals. And as we fully embrace this energy, we also start to align ourselves – our inner values and drive needs to match our outer actions and words. Humanity is entering a new era of self-awareness, self-belief and true equality and every one of us needs to lift our vibration to invite this in.
At this time, we have both Mercury and Venus also sitting in Arian energy but in Retrograde motion. These two inner planets are asking us to go within to find out what we truly value; what is important for us as individuals and how we can express this and become more aligned with this part of ourselves. Venus in Retrograde asks us to reassess our values, our attitude and use of money and if we are putting out what we truly feel. Mercury in Retrograde is making sure that we haven’t missed anything by getting us to go over and re-assess and re-evaluate our direction, our motivation and what is innately important to us as individuals.
Venus is the last planet to move into Direct motion this year and when she makes this move on 13/14 April 2025 it will be the green light to get going once again. Right now, and for the last few weeks, it has very much felt like we are in a holding pattern where we are being asked to hold back and not take action on our dreams and goals. It is important that we don’t push anything before mid-late April as the planets are falling into a new alignment that is destined to change the earth plane and each of us as individuals. If we allow ourselves to wait and observe, we will see where we need to go and what we need to do with clarity and feel a lot more confident and assured to act on this due to the clear and concise energy of Aries.
So, Venus and Mercury in Retrograde in Aries at this time, gives us the inner learning and are asking us to do the inner work in the background, while the Sun in Direct motion in Aries shows us the direction we can take and where we can start something new or take something to a whole new level.
Jupiter in Gemini has been squaring off against Saturn in Pisces for some time now and this will continue until June 2025. When these two mighty outer planets square off against one another they are showing us that there is more than one way that we can achieve our goals and our success. We can, Jupiter in Gemini, become super-versatile and involve ourselves in as many things as possible to move forward towards our destiny. Or, we can use the Saturn in Pisces energy to discipline ourselves, create structure and go after what means the most to us. This “square-off” is showing us very clearly that being discerning, being aware of your limitations and understanding that it is the passion and belief that drives something, is your way forward at this time.
You are not here to be everything to everyone; you are here to be everything to yourself and to then share the very best of you with everyone. So, its okay to offload some of what you are carrying and to put it on the back burner and to be more aware of what is truly important for YOU. Cut yourself some slack – it’s been a crazy 3 months so far and its only going to get busier and crazier as the year goes on.
“where the thought goes the energy flows”
And on this note, please always remember that “where the thought goes the energy flows”. What you think you create, and what you focus on and worry about the most, you manifest. We can use this powerful Arian energy that is coming in to really stand strong in our values and what is important to us, and most importantly to look forward towards a new world where all the actions we take will be based on love, equality and peace.
On 14 March we had a very powerful total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo which brought to our attention what needs to end in our lives; what we are holding on too that no longer serves us, that is perhaps habitual, toxic or just too wrapped up in the past and what has gone before. We were made very aware of what we carry that is not positive and is not helping us to be better versions of ourselves or to achieve our goals and dreams. It was a wake-up call for many that allowed them to be aware of where they hold themselves back or allow themselves to be used in some way that is not for their highest good.
On 29 March we have the Solar Eclipse that always follows the Lunar Eclipse. So, as Lunar Eclipses are about endings, Solar Eclipses are about new beginnings. Now this is only a partial Solar Eclipse which would often mean that its not as powerful as a full Solar Eclipse, however this Solar Eclipse is falling on a Super New Moon, as do the Eclipses in October/November 2025, so this brings a massive surge of energy for clear and concise new beginnings. So, what are you going to set your intentions on?
At the time of this Solar Eclipse there will be many powerful aspects formed between the Sun and the other planets in our Solar System. What this means is that the Solar Eclipse is not alone and its influence is being expanded and emphasised by these nearby planets. The message and meaning here is very clear; it is time to step into your personal power and to ask yourself what do I desire the most out of life and yourself at this time? And you are being asked to get strong and very clear on this.
Here is the link to the Blog Post I also wrote on March’s Solar Eclipse in Aries:-
For too long we have allowed others to guide us, make decisions for us and tell us what is best for us, but after this powerful Solar Eclipse in Aries and due to the monumental move of Neptune into Aries for the first time in 165 years, believing in YOU and valuing YOU will become everyone’s top priority.
“I am that I am”
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and therefore it naturally has the need and desire to come first, and to take the lead. Now we can take the lead by doing our own thing and embracing our independence, or, we can take the lead by actually leading others or becoming leaders in our fields. And this is what we are being awakened too at this time. If you can’t believe in yourself, how can you expect other people too? And, if you don’t love and value yourself you also cannot expect to receive that energy from others. Self-belief, authenticity and self-love are the super-powers that we all need to embrace to make this planet the one we want to live on and grow with, and for each and every one of us to become the best versions of ourselves that we can possibly be.
As Neptune moves into Aries on 30/31 March 2025 for his 14-year transit we are all being asked to step up and step out as Spiritual Warriors. We have learned about our spiritual values and how to see things from that higher level of consciousness and awareness, and now its time to take that and put it into action in some way. Wherever the Arian energy sits in your Chart is where you will be feeling it and where you are being asked to seek your power, your independence and not be afraid to be who you truly are.
When we step into the energy of Aries and at the time of a New Moon Solar Eclipse also in Aries you are being asked “what do you want?” “what can you initiate or get going?” And now that you are not clouded by the illusional and confusing energy of Pisces, you will find it so much easier to know what is best for you and to take action on this. However, do remember the best time for you to begin to take action will be from mid-late April 2025, right now its time for observing and making your plans for action. Use this time to feel into what is right for you and to research and re-assess exactly where you want to accomplish your goals.
Now, it is also very normal due to all this change and upheaval at this time for you to be feeling very overwhelmed. A lot of people are feeling more and more aware of what they don’t want or like in their lives, and what they don’t want to do or be, but are struggling to know how to end such things and what the alternative or new way forward is, and that’s is totally okay. Remember we are getting ready to start again and for the new beginnings this planet and each of us need to make it will take time to identify exactly what these are and how we can make them work. So, don’t worry if you are feeling this need for action and this need to let go of old ways and habits, but you don’t know how or where to start – just go with it and keep focussing on being a better version of yourself in every way. This allows you to build up your self-belief and self-awareness and the more positive these parts of you are, the more you will find that what you need to take action on next, or where you need to go next, will be presented to you quite clearly as a new opportunity of some kind. And also remember that Uranus is still in Taurus and very connected to earth changes as well as attitude changes and so he will be bringing curve balls and unexpected events your way. The energy Uranus is bringing to the table can take care of a lot of the change that is meant for you, catapulting you into a new beginning or new direction that may well be something you NEVER imagined for yourself. Uranus always brings to us what is for our greatest good, however it mostly NEVER feels like that at the time. It feels more like something you didn’t expect, didn’t factor in or don’t even like! So, don’t run in the opposite direction from anything new that is presented to you at this time, rather give yourself time to get used too it and to let it grow and emerge while you simply observe. Now is not the time for action, and Uranus really does have the big picture.
What is very important to understand at this time and over the next few years is that the old ways are crumbling, dissolving and becoming obsolete. What has worked for us historically is now outdated, unworkable and most certainly not fair or equally beneficial for all. We must change and find new ways forward as we cannot keep building on houses of cards and broken foundations. Change is all around us and change can be chaotic.
“observe don’t absorb”
So, observe don’t absorb. Be aware of all that is going on but give it no energy, or in other words, see it but don’t attach to it and don’t let your emotions get involved as all this will do is lower your vibration and put your heart and head into a dark place. Send love and light to all the darkness in this world and work on yourself and who you truly are. This Solar Eclipse and the massive move of Neptune into Aries this month are truly powerful opportunities for change and for you to step up and into all you can be. We are letting go of any feelings or beliefs that we are powerless in our lives, or victims of what others do to us and around us. We are stepping into self-assured independence, self-confidence and self-belief as well as opportunities for leadership, and its going to start to feel very powerful very soon. We are all planting the seeds for the future so lets plant these with all the positivity, love and peace that we possibly can.
