“Time To Light Your Fire”

This Year is a year of the new beginnings and innovations. After clearing the decks and looking at relations to all things as a key theme from last year, we have space for new ways of being to manifest. Astrologically and energy wise, this Spring is going to be a an abundant time, as there will be five major planets in the sign of Aries. Aries key themes are, Fire, Spring, active, initiating, leading, aggressive, impatient, combative, energetic, pioneering, naïve and assertive. Body relating parts are head, face and its ruling planet is Mars.

With so many planets in Aries at one time, we will have an influx of Mars energy kicking off, it’s certainly not going to be quiet!

Mars is out-thrusting energy, the fire in us all to burst open into Spring. With psychological reference it’s the active force of the individual ego in the world, expressing the self and fighting for rights. Mars placements in your natal chart will show how you go after what you want, your drive and energy to be active, your sexual and assertive urges. It also confers where your energy is directed and released, where tensions can be held. Mars initiates, motivates, combats, is brings struggle into the fore as part of processing, alongside facets of conflict. It also drives your feelings, whatever they are, and predominately your passions.

With this planetary activity so full this Spring, how do we get the most out of this passage?

Awareness is the first step. Know or explore what your working with in the present moment for you, when we have an understanding and acceptance of ourselves, we are coming from a centered strong place, enabling us to channel abundant energy.

Support the Mars warrior energy in you, and work it so that you are channeling that energy its in highest consciousness and physicality. Ego and the ” I ” are going to be at the fore, how might that be best served for you and within aspect to comradeship and community. With all that drive and fire in the air, where do you want to channel your ambitions, your courage, strategies, vigor, passions, and your physical energy?

Attune this energy to your needs and pace – Potentially this is going to be a full and dynamic time, be aware of what feels right for you and take time for self to check in with your body, mind and soul. Moving from Winter to Spring seasonal energies always needs some awareness, over exertion of fire energies in a burst, can often be a shock to the body that’s been in Winter flow…so honor your natural rhythms.

Harmonizing conflict – As Mars warrior energy also encompasses conflict, see how you can best move with arising conflicts in you and your environment. How do you manage conflict, in your body, in your mind, in your relations to others, or how do you handle conflict from others? When we have support resources to hand, the job in hand can be a little smoother!

Igniting Passions – If your passions for what you want are in need of an injection boost, or you’ve felt blockages or a sense of restriction, then this is the time to seize the day, take a risk, forge your destiny with mindfulness. Perhaps a career move, a new dynamic on relationships, focus for self-affirmation, improved energies, new fertility in your life, starting a new activity.

This is the time to take a leap of faith and activate it, the earth and universal energies are well supporting you!
