The Spring Equinox welcomes the start of the astrological year. The Sun enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, where it likes to dwell, with the fire of the stars greeting the fire of Spring. This year the Equinox occurs between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse, with both Venus and Mercury reversing in Aries and a number of planets in Pisces.

The omega and alpha, beginning and end, Aries and Pisces are coming together. Mystically all that we have gathered in the journey of our lives unites to design our future. We release what we do not need, dissolving parts of ourselves that we have outgrown, and cherish all that we have while building our unique futures. Celebrate sovereignty.

Aries - Happy Birthday! You start the astrological year anew with the Vernal Equinox. Venus, of love and money, is reversing in Aries, ideal for tax season. Mercury is retrograding in Aries too, as you review your past in order to integrate ideas into the year ahead that you will design.
