??? The Light is Getting Stronger
As the Sun is moving through its midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, we can all feel a little more light coming back into our lives. (Happy Birthday to all the Aquarians in the house and to the early-born Pisceans, too!) As we move through this phase of winter, some of us are still deep in cocoon mode while others are eager to get out of our seats and move about the cabin. It’s a ripe time now to consider the dreams you want to seed as we go through this Aquarius season. It’s a time when we envision beyond the present obstacles, and consider how we can best position ourselves for the most favourable outcomes. Mars and Mercury have both stationed direct, (but haven’t yet caught up with their retrograde position), making this an excellent time to gather knowledge and build the foundations for key initiatives. Check your personal sign below to see where this impacts you!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Things are looking up, Aries! Jupiter has moved back into your sign and will remain there until mid-May giving you a huge boost of energy. This is favourable in regard to travel, exploration, pioneering experiences, adventures, and education. Many of you are feeling braver and you can look forward to improved relationships with others and new connections as well. Your engines are further revved as Mars continues its forward motion, picking up speed in your third house of community affairs, current events and stimulating knowledge gains. With Mercury direct now as well, it’s a favourable time to reach out and get involved in projects that matter to you. Warm up to your dreams and look for ways to bring those aspirations to life. This is a good year for you! You might also choose to educate yourself further about issues that need a closer look. Meanwhile, you’ll inspire others along the way.

You’re ready to make some long-term investments and you want to be sure it’s the right one and at the right time. (Steer clear of impulse buys above a reasonable amount.) You’re keen to play the long game and you know that certain choices may take a while to pay off. There will be many improvements coming your way this year and the actions you’re taking now are helping to seed that progress. Steady as she goes!
