THIS WEEK and next are pivotal in many ways, due to the growing group of planets in Aries. One by one, starting with Mars last week, the faster-moving planets are making their exodus from Pisces, each ultimately joining forces with Uranus in Aries.
The main astrological events this week occur on Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday is the Aries Equinox, the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the Southern. Whichever season we are beginning, our experience of this shift of is likely to be more dramatic than usual, as we abruptly leave behind the sensitive, reclusive realms of Pisces and dive head-first into the impulsive, active world of Aries.
THE ARCHETYPES for Aries include Pioneer, Risk-Taker, Leader, Competitor, Initiator — all of whom are known for their courage and focused energy. Each of these personality types is able to harness the internal strength that enables them to face the unknown, and to rise above the fears and inertia that often can get in the way of forward progress.
