Cosmic Vibes: Welcome to Spring!


BY: LISA STARDUST

As we embark on the beginning of Aries Season, we are undertaking a new cycle. As we put the gloomy days of Winter behind us, it’s time to start fresh and relish in new projects and partnerships which have grown from seeds planted during the past several months.

March brings two Full Moons, a New Moon, and two planetary retrogrades. Enough cosmic action to propel us to the new vision. For the past month, we have been riding the emotional wave of Piscean waters. After 30 days of emotional shape shifting and daydreaming, we are all ready to take action as the Sun enters Aries on March 22nd.

We kick off March with the Full Worm Moon, which illuminates truths and deceptions in relationships. Venus and Mercury enter sparky Aries March 6th, adding zest to matters of love, money, and communication. Just be careful not to put your foot in your mouth, as Mercury Retrograde (which starts March 22nd) may cause impulsive and sparky messages to appear in your inbox. Jupiter starts moonwalking backwards on the 8th, testing our ideals and dedication until the summer. March 17th brings a New Moon in watery Pisces, as well as Mars’s ingress into Capricorn, giving us one last chance to incorporate the inspirational and intuitive watery Piscean energy into our personal lives. March ends with a rare Blue Moon (the second Full Moon in a month), forcing us to reevaluate partnerships, just as Venus enters her favorite sign, Taurus.

Aries, ruled by the planet Mars, is the first sign of the zodiac. They are known born leaders, meeting challenges head on, and always ready for new experiences. Like Aries, the Emperor, seated on his throne, represents authority, initiative in the face of change and pushing past perceived boundaries to achieve goals.

What are you trying to bring into your life right now? Are you feeling personal doubt—unable to propel yourself forward? Is fear holding you back? Meditate on the Emperor card this Aries Season to channel power, fearlessness, and action.
