The Sun in Aries – the Beginning of the Astronomical Year

Today marks the beginning of a new astronomical year. Early in the morning, the Sun entered the first degree of Aries. The Sun will remain in this sign until April 19. This time is celebrated in folk traditions as the day of the Spring Equinox, when daylight equals night, after which days begin to grow longer. Since ancient times, it has been believed that true spring begins after this day. This period serves as a symbolic portal for the influx of new energies, thus bringing renewal on all levels of life. Let us embrace the fresh surge of solar activity in the form of inspiration and renewed strength. All of nature begins striving toward growth and development. Light increases around us, the air warms, and green begins to emerge in the buds of trees and bushes, in the young grass. The wind swiftly carries the scent of spring, leaving no one indifferent. Everything around us, from plants to people, awakens from winter “stagnation.” On delicate stems, the first flowers bloom, and radiant smiles increasingly appear on the faces of passersby. People become infected with the virus of love and joy, absorbing impulses of happiness directly from the spring air. Along with nature, our hearts and desires blossom. We want to run, to rush forward, to accomplish everything. Gradually, the pace of life becomes faster and faster. Yet this only adds excitement to life. The music of spring whirls us in its dance of life’s rebirth. Tune into the impulses of activity within yourself, so that the sprouts of your goals emerge in time and, during this active period, can mature and yield their first fruits. When the Sun enters Aries, we already yearn for action—we merely needed one initial push. Now, solar rays trigger the necessary processes within us and in everything around. From here onward, everything depends on our activity, as our results are the consequence of our efforts. Therefore, if we wish, we can already begin thinking: how can this be done? And from the beginning of April, we can proceed to implement everything we have envisioned—and even more. Strength will be given to us to fulfill all our desires. But beware of greed in setting numerous unattainable goals, which would disperse your energy—be wise and realistic in planning. Equally important is the date of the New Moon in Aries, when the Sun and Moon conjoin for the first time in the new year. The New Moon in Aries will occur on March 24, and a separate article will be dedicated to it. However, pay attention to the significance of the days from March 20 through the end of March, as the energy of this period is extremely potent. Therefore, your emotional state, the focus of your thoughts, and your actions determine your strength and direction for development throughout the next 12 months. Wishing everyone love for their life!
