Get ready to mark your calendars because today isn't your average day – it's the highly anticipated International Astrology Day 2024! And guess what? It's not just that; today also heralds the start of the Spring Equinox as the Sun makes its grand entrance into Aries, all set to illuminate the skies at precisely 11:09 AM EST. 📅✨
Aries season is a time to bring new things into the world without worrying about doing it perfectly or in the right way. The Sun’s journey through Aries inspires us to access the courage, determination, and confidence we need to take leaps, to follow our passion, to trust the spark we feel, to go toward the direction of what lights us up even when, logically, it doesn’t make sense.
Aries season motivates us to recover our connection with our creative spark, our inner sacred fire, the energy that moves us. The Sun in Aries is currently forming a sextile with Pluto in Aquarius, which supports our ability to empower and reinvent ourselves through creativity and self-expression, deepen our self-awareness, and radically transform our sense of self and our connection to purpose.
This is a time to be active participants in life, a time to be proactive in acting on our desires, a time to take risks and challenge ourselves, and a time to explore unfamiliar paths despite our fears. This is a time to dare, a time to do something that scares us, a time to play and experiment without shame or fear of making mistakes. Aries season is a time to welcome mistakes, celebrate mistakes, and learn from our mistakes, recognizing them as our teachers.
As the sun struts into Aries, we're throwing open the doors to the astrological new year with arms wide open and hearts brimming with cosmic curiosity. Whether you're a seasoned astrologer, a casual horoscope swiper, or just someone who loves a good celestial spectacle, today's the day to let your inner star shine bright!
Astrology isn't just about predicting the future; it's more like unlocking a treasure chest of ancient wisdom and cosmic secrets. "We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season in which we are born." ~ Carl Jung
Whether you're scanning the skies for shooting stars, chatting about your zodiac sign with pals, or simply marveling at the wonders of the cosmos, today's all about embracing the magic and mystery that surrounds you, but above all remembering that you are part of an infinite cosmic creation.
May you get the special blessings you need to blossom beautifully in springtime (or enjoy the rich fall season if you're in the southern hemisphere)!
