With the sun entering Aries this week, we ring in the astrological new year. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, starts the spring equinox on March 20th. Symbolized by the Ram, Aries represents leadership, courage, and bold action. As a cardinal fire sign, its energy is active and ambitious, inspiring us to initiate projects and blaze new trails—especially those we’ve been putting off.

This year, however, Mercury—the planet of planning, communication, and thought—is retrograde for most of Aries season (March 14 – April 7). Instead of charging ahead, its energy is turned inward, bringing potential delays. Fear not, however, as the fire of Aries is still strong, and while we may be stalled in starting our new projects, we can use this time to refine our approach. Once Mercury stations direct on April 7th, expect a gradual surge of energy igniting our path forward as we finish out the month.

Mercury’s retrograde also initiates a period of deep reflection. During Aries season, it invites us to reassess how we view and present ourselves, our confidence, and our leadership style. Are we owning our personal power or holding ourselves back?

As we embark on this season of new beginnings, we are called to realign our goals with our passions and authenticity. In this era of great awakening and rapid transformation, we are reminded that nothing is too far-fetched. The ideas we once thought were out of reach are becoming a reality. The energy of limitless possibility is here—but it’s up to us to claim it. While we are rethinking and refining our desires and intentions, don’t sell yourself short. This season is about realizing that we are capable of far more than we imagine. We can do anything.
