Forecast: Sun in AriesMarch 20 - April 19

The beginning of the Zodiacal year starts with Aries, the Ram. It is the natural ruling sign of the 1st house in the astrological wheel. The keyword is activity, and the key phrase is I AM. It's ruling planet is Mars, which at this time is in the sign of Gemini. Gemini is about versatility, and the key phrase is I THINK. But why is Gemini important to factor in for this month? Because mars is the ruling planet, in a way, you can say that this is Mars' month. But Mars takes on a characteristic of Gemini. It's a metamorphosis of Aries/Gemini. There will be much focused around activity, but heavily so in the cerebral realm. There may be more of a tendency to speak without thinking, as communication can be somewhat hasty although honest. Impulsive, and overworking may happen, but it's a great month for getting things done in which we've put off for such a long time. This is a month of DOING, and is particularly beneficial for activity in all things related to Gemini: communication, writing, publishing, internet, social media.
For myself, I'm releasing my first video AND launching this blog at the same time. It is the perfect time to do something for yourself!
Sun, Venus, Chiron conjunct in Aries
This month is special because Chiron is also in Aries. It's been in this sign since 2018 and will stay until 2027. Chiron is the wounded healer. You learn from mending old wounds, even perhaps hard lessons, hopefully gaining some wisdom. With it's placement in Aries, it's a great time to heal aspects in your life concerning image, your sense of energy, ability to speak up for yourself... this is a great "weather" to turn a new leaf. With Venus in conjunct with the Sun and Chiron, it will make for a pleasurable time. It's sometimes difficult to start new routines or break old habits, but when you are enjoying yourself it's no problem at all. The Sun shines a spot light on Chiron related issues and with the help of Venus making the journey all the more pleasurable. This beneficial conjunction will be felt from about March 27th to April 5th.
Mercury trails behind the Sun
With Mercury trailing behind, still in Pisces, this may be the most beneficial balancing factor for this month. Although I didn't get around to discussing it in the video listed above, it's important to note. With Pisces, it's all in the imaginative, quiet, meditative, subconscious, even secretive. Mercury is the planet of communication, and happens to be the ruling planet of Gemini. See the connection here? So with Mercury in Pisces, add even yet level, to this Aries month. Aries with a Gemini sub-tone and a hue of Pisces. So while Mercury is still in Pisces until April 5th (evidently lines up when Chiron Venus and Sun move out of their conjunction), we may be less talkative and more in the phase of bringing out all those ideas into fruition. It may be after April 5th when we start to share more with others what we've been working on. But the main take home for this month is, activities that help yourself and and give more of a sense of what you're really about and what you want to do, bringing all those ideas out into fruition.
