Sun in Aries: Catalytic

To take one’s first breath is an act of courage. Aries is the spark of energy that manifests into life, the sign that births the astrological year and provides the ride-or-die life-force for all the signs to follow. We need it more than ever at this time.

As an archetype, Aries embodies the catalytic impulse — the drive to leap into being. It is willful, bold, original, and sometimes impulsive and foolish, too. But not every sign has the bravery to plunge into the chaos of existence. Aries strikes the match and leads the way. 

Tonight at 8:49pm PST, the sun moves into Aries. With it, we have the opportunity to be reborn. We have the opportunity to let the feeling of spring awaken in our bodies, alongside the tiniest sprouts that we see emerging from the earth. We have the opportunity to reinvigorate ourselves. Amidst uncertainty, how can we find ways to birth ourselves anew? What needs a fresh start? How will we move forward, courageously?
