On March 20th, 2017, the Sun moves into the sign of Aries, and it also marks the Vernal Equinox! This day marks the turning of the seasons, as well as the beginning of a new zodiacal cycle (as Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac.)

Here's some information about the astrological archetype of Aries:

Aries people tend to be energetic, forceful and outgoing. They are good at getting things done, although they prefer starting to finishing. Like the energy of the first rush of spring, they move into the world in a headstrong, pioneering way. Aries people are likely to rush into things before reflecting, and may also be impatient or unwilling to sit back and allow events to mature. They have great vitality and a tremendous need to be physically active.

Aries people have a strong will, and are self-centered about pursuing it, so that they may try to dominate other people until they learn to be more subtle about getting their way. They also have an acute need for love and affection. Aries people benefit from self-discipline, so that they can channel their abundant energy more constructively.

Element
The element related to Aries is Fire.
The Fire element is masculine or yang, and is active and outer expressive in its basic nature. It corresponds with the Jungian typology of Intuition. Fire is a radiant form of energy that brings light to the world around it, enthusiastic and excitable, self-oriented, impatient and essentially optimistic. It is represented in the signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Fire people are honest to a fault, freedom loving and often insist on their own point of view. They live in the idealism of great thoughts and deeds.

May your annual Solar Return– when the Sun returns to the same place in the sky as it was when you were born– be a time of magic, joy and love, Aries!
