Aries Season--The Battle Against the Deep State Truly Begins

Hi lovely people! We survived another month of chaos!!! Be proud, you’ve made it this far~~~~

Unfortunately we aren’t out of the woodwork yet, but March is the worst month of this year and although the energy will continue to be confusing, chaotic, volatile, and frustrating, we can hold onto the fact that we are just in a very rocky transition which is bringing us closer to our true authentic natures. 

Lets review the previous Pisces season —some major events and how it ties in with the astrology.

Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign. Cardinal means it’s the first sign of the season—in this case Spring.. AND the Astrological new year. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac.. it dives into this world head first (like a baby) and it so full of passion/excitement and in a way hasn’t developed the wisdom of patience, perceptions, and emotional security/intelligence. Aries is known as the “hot head” and those who have strong Aries placements are actually prone to heat headaches when stressed or angry, or burnout from going too hard too fast. It’s represented as the Ram for its animal—as rams will fight head first into each other to get what it wants. Aries is also represented by combative sports and military. Anything that would go with the world “conflict” would be Aries. Because Aries energy charges head first into projects and conflicts, it’s also the first sign to calm and cool down first. This can be frustrating to others who don’t carry much of this energy. It’s as if Aries will start a war and then get bored with it 10 mins in and walk away.. leaving everyone else riled up and on edge. Because Aries is not afraid to dive head first, it’s also not afraid to speak up for itself and put people in their place. In a way this is somewhat of a selfish zodiac sign. I don’t think Aries are conscious of this all the time, but it really does put itself first. This may be due to it being the first zodiac sign showing its infancy stage. Like a child, a child does not mean to be selfish, it’s just figuring out who it is and has no concept of too much outside of itself. Aries is like that too.. like an eager child who when gets told no, will erupt like a volcano, then happily fall asleep 10 mins later. 

Without Aries, we wouldn’t have the pioneer, as Aries is known as the leader. Again, it’s the first sign.. so it has no fear or any concept of fear—it happily charges head first and leads others behind it. Aries will take us in the direction we want to go, while burning down anything it leaves behind (it rarely looks back—always foreword). However because its a cardinal sign.. it is very good at initiating the lead, but not so much with follow through or adaptability. Its impatient, and although it will always start whatever project it wants to do, its often it will get bored before finishing the project. 

With Aries being the first sign of zodiac rebirth cycle, it means it follows after Pisces (the ending of the cycle). Because we have so many planets still lingering in Pisces at the start of this Aries season.. there hasn’t been enough momentum to jump forward like normal Aries new years. We are still carrying our emotional baggage from our previous versions of ourselves, and on a macro scale, holding on to the world we once knew. This is preventing us from diving head first into our future visions. How can we pioneer a new world when we are still pining for the old one? Likely, the start of this Aries season, we will feel like there is a weight on our left foot. Our right foot trying to charge forward.. but a weight holding on to our left leg which leaves us feeling frustrated, confused, and angry that we just can’t seem to move forward in the direction we want. I am hoping me writing this can help you understand your not alone in this right now. Every single chart I have read recently, the person has been feeling this way. How can we move forward with so much uncertainty and conflict in the world? How can we move forward when half the population is fighting against change? This is a frustrating time of division.. and until we get to unity.. we will unfortunately be heading in the direction of some sort of civil war. Rather than letting the energy of the planets control your energy into mob mentality this month, channel that energy into making yourself stronger. This is a great time to finally get that membership at the gym, to own a punching bag and punch the shit out of it, to go on daily runs. The energy is INTENSE and unless you move that energy productively—it’s likely going to come lashing out in your relations with others. 

Where-as a lunar eclipse is all about emotions and letting go, a solar eclipse is all about moving and pushing us in our new direction. Where a lunar eclipse is passive/feminine energy, a solar eclipse is a masculine/action directed energy. Where the lunar eclipse full moon in Virgo was all about feeling and letting go of our perfectionistic, controlling, and critical tendencies and embracing trust in the divine path, this New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries is all about taking action towards a new direction. Here are the planetary positions below:

North Node, Venus, Neptune, (all out of bounds in Pisces), Mercury, Sun, Moon (Aries) are ALL sextile PLUTO (in Aquarius)

Saturn, North Node, Retrograde Venus, Neptune (on its last degree) (all in Pisces), and Retrograde Mercury (in Aries) are all conjunct. 

Saturn, North Node and loosely retrograde Venus and Neptune (in Pisces) are trine Mars (in Cancer) and each sextile Uranus (in Taurus) 

Neptune is on its way to move into Aries (as mentioned in the last article) on March 30th later this upcoming week. Neptune is a collective planet, it rules the collective consciousness and it symbolizes cycles that we go through together as a humanity (Neptune takes around 12 years to move through a transit). Neptune symbolizes our collective emotions, spiritual belief systems, collective consciousness, delusion, victimization, drugs, escapism, music, art, and the healer of ancestral trauma. What have we been going through for the past 12 years? ALL of those topics have been a forefront theme in our societies—which has led to a positive increase in open dialogue about mental health, psychedelic plant healing, trauma healing, and ancestral trauma. We have seen more gravitation towards spiritual topics in the mainstream—with the return of astrology, energy work like reiki, traditional herbal medicine, and sound healing. But, we have also been living through one of the largest mental health crisis our modern world has lived through. Majority of people are numbing themselves on antidepressants, we have children confused about their identities, we have coddling culture, and mob mentality towards others that people deem “offensive” (Pisces energy can go towards victimization). SO.. with Neptune ALMOST out of Pisces and heading into Aries (a COMPLETELY different energy), we are starting to see the effects of what this transit may bring. As Neptune rules collective delusions and being deceived, and Aries rules aggression, conflict, war, and FIRE—we are seeing massive protests being carried out against Tesla dealerships in the form of these cars and buildings being lit on fire. What is interesting, is most people don’t really understand why they are so angry. When I personally have asked people, they normally respond in something like “The owner is a Nazi and I shouldn’t even have to explain it”. This is the same group of people who used to shame people for not owning a Tesla or an electric vehicle just a couple sum odd years ago. What people don’t understand, is the people in power understand the cycles of astrology and use it to their own benefit to further their agendas. This may sound crazy, but if you look into our world leaders, many of them have Masonic ties. Masons study and understand the cycles of the stars and planets, in fact I lived right beside a Masonic hall at once point of my life and they would always carry loud ceremonies on important astrological dates like the Equinoxes and Solstices. Now I don’t find it a coincidence that there is a “planned” world wide Tesla dealership protest planned for this upcoming New Moon in ARIES (Planet of war). Who came up with this date? It just so happens to be on a powerful New Moon in Aries? Don’t fall into the trap folks. Don’t fall into the “hive” mind and do something you regret. These protests are all being led as a distraction against the bigger picture. Our Government systems are being exposed—Left AND Right.. people that have been in power and leading corrupt government institutions do not want to be exposed. Rather than move in the direction the news is guiding people to go.. learn discernment and think for yourself. The last time Neptune was in Aries was during the American Civil War. DON’T fall for it! Centre yourselves.. this is what the energy of the past 2 years with Saturn in Pisces has been preparing us for. Practise spiritual discipline, consistently check in with your OWN thoughts and energies, spend more time alone getting to understand your own values and think for yourself. I’m not saying Elon Musk is perfect.. I don’t carry many of the same values as his.. but I do genuinely believe he is making A LOT of the bureaucracy on edge and angry.. and all this coordinated attacks and attention on him is a distraction. You wanna go after corruption? Go after Blackrock and Vanguard.. go after Monsanto.. go after Bill Gates messing up with our food supply.. go after Big Pharma and these protected elitist establishments that are making us unhealthy, sick, and reliant on the Government. Don’t fall for the bone they are tossing.

Another way to read into this transit, is “Spiritual War”. As Neptune rules spirituality of a collective consciousness level and Aries represents war and military. I expect we will see wars taking place of religion against religion. We are already seeing the sparks of this starting —especially online between Catholics vs Judaism vs Muslim. In a way its an age old conflict, but its definitely being ramped up right now. I expect we will see the majority of this taking place in the middle east.. but the ramifications will be felt from all areas around the world as people may try to cling on to their religion. However.. I believe this cycle will be teaching us to birth a new spiritual practise into consciousness.. Where we will be waking up to our own connection to source without needing to be a part of a religion. I hope this doesn’t have to play out in wars for people to wake up to realize that they carry the source within them. 

Another note about Neptune in Aries, is that in history, this transit has been when major public leaders have been assassinated like Julias Caesar. There is a lot of correlation to leaders believing they are like God and leading revolutionary and violent wars. Keep this in mind. However, Aries is also known as the Hero. Aries is a very protective sign and will go to war with anyone who goes after anything it loves. (Well this rant needs to end..it’s getting too long and I could talk about this transit all day).

Pluto in Aquarius opposite Mars in Cancer (back to this old story again)

Mars in Cancer squares this full moon in Libra and squares the Sun and Chiron in Aries 

Saturn still loosely square Jupiter

Retrograde TURNS to direct Venus, Saturn (exactly), North Node, Mercury (all in Pisces), and Neptune (Aries) all conjunct and  Inconjunct Full Moon 

Retrograde TURNS to direct Venus, Saturn, North Node, Mercury (exact) (all in Pisces), and Neptune (Aries) all Trine Mars (in Cancer) and both sextile Uranus (in Taurus)

Full Moon (Libra) opposite Sun (obviously) and Chiron (in Aries)

Not only is the Full Moon volatile and emotionally impulsive, Venus FINALLY goes direct. Since March 1st, Venus went retrograde in Aries. Which was having us review what direction we want to take our relationships.. it then retrograded back in Pisces—which had us reviewing our old karmic relationships and finally cutting the ties with them in order to move forward. Alas— expect to feel movement in the areas of your relationships AND finances. Purchases can be made with more clarity now. Your values will start to gain more clarity as well. But it may be best to wait until Venus transits back into Aries to act on any of those topics, as Pisces energy makes you see things with rose coloured glasses. 

Aries rules the head and adrenals in medical astrology. Aries is a hot headed temperament.. prone to inflammatory conditions when stressed — especially headaches of a hot nature. As Aries charges head first into projects, it is common for Aries to exhaust their adrenals. Putting them in periods of burnout throughout their life. It’s very important for this sign amongst all signs to be physically active—otherwise they can be a nightmare around the ones they love—taking out their stress on others in an aggressive way. Channelling that energy into boxing, martial arts, combat, running, cardio workouts, anything that gets the blood moving and heart pumping to exhaust all that inner hot fire. Opting for more cooling drinks, foods, and herbs that carry a “bitter” downward energy to them. As this sign is the first sign of spring, it’s the perfect time to take up some sort of physical activity to start your spring off with vital energy. After a month of rest in Pisces season—and cleansing the body. The body should feel vital and ready to charge forward. (maybe not this year with so much lingering Pisces energy.. and more later in the month).

Lots of love everyone, and remember, channel your energy towards STRENGTH rather than anger. I get it, the energy can get the best of us—including myself. I’m not stating you shouldn’t speak your truth—I will always speak mine. I do however think we need to be aware of how we are speaking are truth. Are we using insults, talking to each other like mad/immature children on a playground—or are we concisely stating our points of view in a way that breeds logic rather than division? Think of the words your using — how would you feel if someone said them back to you? Thats what I’m talking about.
