The Zodiac Signs of Spring
Aries Season
March 21st - April 19th
The first sign of Spring and the Astrological year. The sign of Aries gives us life. Aries is able to heat up so intensely that it births flowers & leaves, fruits & vegetables as well as conscious life too. Imagine the kind of heat it takes to create all of that. Passionate, raw, fiery. All fire signs have that kind of vibrant energy, but Aries in particular is our vital life force.
Aries represents the archetype of the warrior. It is the fighter within each of us that is willing to standup and fight for what they know is right. Aries is competitive, courageous, passionate and physical.
During Pisces season we were asked to rest. Now in Aries season, we are asked to awaken! Awaken our souls, our bodies and our minds. Pisces wrapped up our story from the prior astrological year and now it is the job of Aries to bring life to a new story. All of a sudden everything feels alive! The only question is how we channel that energy.

Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign. Cardinal because they are initiators. Fire because they bring life and passion to everything they touch. You can instantly imagine the kind of power this creates. Raw, unadulterated energy that sparks action, courage and movement. Aries energy is what gets your heart racing. They love any kind of physical movement, but especially when it involves fast spurts of energy and intensity. In fact, it’s vital that anyone with strong Aries in their chart finds some kind of outlet for all that energy, whether it’s physical, mental or otherwise, they must in some way, embody the archetype of the warrior. They may find themselves fighting battles in the courtroom, corporate world or in social justice. If they’re not able to find a path towards their inner warrior, they may end up engaging in fruitless battles at home. Or even worse, giving up on life and allowing boredom to overtake them. Aries is known as a selfish sign and it is, but doesn’t the flower need to be selfish to bloom? It’s important that Aries learns to think of others too, but their selfishness is also a necessity for them. The same could be said of their anger. Anger is an emotion and it’s one that we all feel from time to time. Aries just may feel it more intensely or with more regularity…especially if they don’t have other outlets. Another thing about Aries is that they operate from their gut. There is really no thinking involved in the purest form of Aries energy. There is only fire and then life. Aries people are known to have some of the best instincts around.
