The Spring Equinox - Thursday, March 20th, 2025 : Sun at 0 degrees Aries

• The Spring is here– this is the "0 point" of our year and the beginning of the Sun starting its circle and the next cycle around the 12 parts of the zodiacal wheel. We remember that in the context I am sharing here, astrology as Earth medicine is based on the 4 major Earth seasons: starting with the Spring Equinox. Each of the 4 seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter - are divided into 3 parts, creating our circle of 12 seasons, 12 zodiac signs, 12 life energies, 12 parts of the creative process, 12 parts of our year – all of which correlate to 12 sections of the Human body.
• The Spring Equinox is considered the true energetic new year and is a time to touch the infinite & our own infinite potential and what we will be capable of creating over the next cycle. It is time of prayer, renewal, the burning off of the last year and wild hope and celebration for the future and all that our next trip around the astrological wheel may have in store for us. Dream Big and then x that by 100 and make it bigger – this is the energy and gift of ARIES, our first fire sign that symbolizes the incoming energy of Spring.

The New Moon with Partial Solar Eclipse @ 9 degrees Aries - March 29th, 2025

The energy of the Fire Element builds. Fire rules passion, inspiration, creativity- and sensitizes and brings heat and energy to the Aries ruled body parts: the mind and the muscular system of the body (more on this below).

** I don't recommend doing any particular ceremonies, being in large crowds or ever starting new supplements/vitamins/drugs/meds or protocols during Eclipses - but it would be a nice day to enjoy sitting by a fire, talking with loved ones about what is coming up or closing out for you in Life and how what has happened over the last few weeks may be preparatory for your new cycle and purpose this next year. What we are focused on will be gaining momentum moving forward if the space for evolution and greater responsibility is being made available.

The Full Moon @ 23 degrees Libra - April 12th, 2025

This is a time to be thinking about our personal capacity to hold greater levels of RESPONSIBILITY in life and for our own health and perhaps for those in our immediate life or community. The adrenals, sex hormones and cortisol response are highlighted - are we balanced and energized and ready for more responsibility or are we fatigued, depleted and in need of release/replenishment?

Do we truly have the capacity for more (to care for more, to take care of more) if we are asking and praying for more? Or is the truth in our body that our cup is already full and perhaps we are close to becoming tired, depleted, inconsistent, unsure or overwhelmed and realistically needing to rest and to focus on taking more responsibility for our own personal health, balance and wellbeing first before taking on the responsibilities that come with asking for more? We have to decide this for ourselves with honesty as the answer truly helps guide us with where our personal soils may need tending so that the seeds of our dreams can really manifest with integrity and in healthy ways. Tending to ourselves before taking on more responsibility (which comes with "more" of anything we might be asking for: love, money, work, health/fitness, spiritual connection/evolution etc.) is never a set back or a slow down but a way to ensure a solid foundation is there to build from long term.

If we really want to create new structures for ourselves, our families, our relationships, our businesses, our creations and our communities - that are not just replicas and repeats of the same broken shit and routines that have been conditioned into us but put into new age packages and aesthetics- we have to periodically pause (Libra) and really look at what we are doing, where we are at physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and determine what is truly needed and best serves our own wellbeing and the wellbeing of those in our circles.

Violence toward self creates more violence in the world. Love toward self creates creates greater love in the world and we are at a critical point in time where it truly matters if we are dreaming dreams of violence or of love and inspiration.

ARIES SEASON HEALTH ENERGETICS:

Aries is a Fire Element sign and considered "Cardinal" energy - which is energy that is "initiative" in nature. When a sign is "Cardinal" that means it begins one of the 4 big earth seasons (in this case Spring).

Because Aries is ruled by the planet Mars - the planet of passion, desire, will and fight -and on the color wheel is associated with the color RED - it also brings up in us the Will / Desire to get going, to move out of winter and into spring, and to open and get started with new possibilities and dreams.

In the Spring season, the life force moves upward and our plants begin to spring up through the cold ground and reach for the SUN. In this same way, the energy of Aries season pulls hot, fiery energy up to head in the humans and this is why you sometimes hear that Aries natives can be very creative - as well as "hot headed" or impulsive or impatient. Energy, life force and "heat" are pulled to the head in this sign just as it pulls plants up towards the sun.

General Body Rulerships:

>Aries rules the head, eyes and upper jaw

Sometimes Mars, the ruler of Aries and our god of war, inflammation, accidents and acute injury- will mark his Aries children with a scar on the head or inflammatory/hormonal breakouts and acne on the face.

>Motor centers of the brain

>The adrenals and the hormones of the adrenals : cortisol, adrenaline (epinephrine)/norepinephrine and impacts the sex hormones - notably: DHEA, and Testosterone

Physical Health:

This zodiac season, we want to consider the health of our energetic will, desire, motivation and stress response - which is of course associated with the Aries ruled areas: our head and adrenals. Are we over-doing it, burning the candle on both ends and pushing the gas pedal with no gas in the tank? Or do we have so much excessive energy and willpower that we need to use, get out, express, MOVE and push into to avoid becoming impatient, hot headed or even violent internally towards self or externally towards others?

Determine where on the scale you are with stress, energy, willpower and motivation and how your body actually feels. We should aim to maintain a nice steady glow of heat in our energetic body. If hot, red energy is becoming tight, trapped and inflamed internally - it's time to find outlets. If your body energetically feels cold, blue, stagnant - it is time to nourish and warm yourself.

There is a difference in being low energy and needing intense movement to move out of a state of stagnancy because you actually have energy to release vs being low energy from chronic stress and needing to choose to go for a gentle walk, a bath, a good homemade meal and a long sleep. We must know the difference of when to hit the gas pedal and use our gas tank, and when our gas tank is empty and shoving the pedal down would only cause us to stall and break down.

ARIES SEASON HERBS TO WORK WITH: GREEN TEA

This season I am choosing GREEN TEA as the recommended natural remedy to work with.

In Aries season, we can use the color of Libra (who is Aries opposite sign and polarity partner) to balance the Aries RED ray.

On the color wheel, Libra is associated with the color Green and of course in natural health, green tea is a wonderful support to improve metabolism, reduce inflammation and balance excessive testosterone (Mars/Aries ruled) states, such as PCOS.

Green tea is an amazing anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and supports healthy cognitive function and weight management.

Have 1-3 cups per day around meals and enjoy the many healthy benefits green tea provides!

ARIES SEASON MOVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:

This season - find the movement outlets that are appropriate to raise and express the state of your WILL / WILLPOWER.

Aries season, which stimulates and sensitizes the MOTOR CENTERS of the brain, is typically a great season to push your workouts, add increased endurance or HIIT challenges or get out in the sun and up the mountains.

If you are finding you are on the more fatigued, adrenal or cortisol imbalanced end of things - daily movement in the Sun is highly indicated to warm the body and restore the cortisol response, but opting for gentle movements, walking, sunbathing, stretching or restorative exercise may be most beneficial.

ARIES SEASON PLAYLIST

Enjoy the heat of Aries which can be experienced through a few of these artists. Big Sean, JID and Larry June all have strong Aries placements which influence their music. Or, if not your style of music, create your own playlist this season and see what you are naturally drawn to under the energy of Spring as part of your own personal investigations :)

ARIES SEASON POETRY

To contemplate Aries energy, the health of our body and the times we are in - I love these words from the Tao Te Ching:

"High winds do not blow all morning;

Heavy rain does not fall all day.

Are not these made by heaven and earth?

If the power of heaven and earth

Cannot make violent activity last,

How can you?"

***I want to thank and honor my teachers Judith Hill and Kira Sutherland who have given me a strong foundation in all of the work I do and the work I share here.

Thank you all - happy Aries Season - I hope you found something useful and beautiful to explore in your own body this season.

In Joy,

Jaz
