ARIES SEASONโ๏ธโ & ASTROLOGICAL NEW YEAR 2023๐ทโ
At 5:24 PM on March 20th, 2023 the sun will move into the sign of Aries ushering in the astrological new year. This is the third and final new year celebration, and in my opinion makes the most sense as a natural restarting point because of its co-presence with the Spring Equinox or Ostara.
This day and this time mark the equal point of day and night and the beginning of natureโs rebirth cycle. This is why I think it's the most appropriate of all the New Years, because it brings with it a sense of renewing energy.
Aries is a Yang, Cardinal, Fire sign that represents the archetype of The Warrior, someone who charges ahead and makes things happen. an energy that isn't afraid to fight for what's right and will not rest until it's done.
This is the kind of energy that helps people get shit done! it's not a time to be meek or mellow. Nope it's time to take action and capitalize on the natural energy abounding in the northern hemisphere of growth and rebirth.
The Zodiac Sign of Ariesโ๏ธโ
The sun sign of Aries is the first to appear on the Zodiac chart. The dates for this sign span from March 20th/21st to April 20th. Many famous celebrities, such as Mariah Carey, Reese Witherspoon, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, and Sarah Jessica Parker, fall under Aries reign.
The sign is symbolized by a Ram, which reflects the headstrong qualities of the Aries, as well as his direct and assertive attitude.
The Aries people behave like a ram in many ways. A ram likes to be the leader of the group. Likewise, the Aries individual will try his best to stay ahead of the pack and lead it where he wants it to go. Aries are very opinionated, and do not often consider others feelings. They will do anything to sway the group to their side.
Those born under the Aries sign need a constant challenge in order to maintain their interest in life. They are impulsive, and more inclined towards making quick decisions than fully completing a task. This is why you will often find an Aries with several unfinished projects on his or her desk.
Aries people are sometimes hard to deal with because they have a quick temper and very little patience. They may get irritated with you, but luckily, they arenโt interested in holding grudges. Their short fuse can be attributed to their ruling of the planet Mars, who is the God of wrath and war.
Aries individuals do not use subtleties or hints to get their point across. They are direct and wear their heart on their sleeve. However, attempting to guide or supervise them is quite a task, and requires a very blunt and headstrong approach.
The Aries never backs away from a challenge, even if that means having to batter his head against the wall. Aries individuals will lead others to face their own troubles but will never gloss through the details of the work involved. They would rather be involved with the rocky boulders than the pebbles at the bottom. In short, Aries are quite adventurous and need space to act independently.

This is a time for us to move things forward and seize the day. Astrologer Chris Brennan says that the Aries motto is, โready, shoot, aimโ. that speaks to the Aries penchant for action and immediate action. They are not the type who spend countless hours checking the wind and lining up their shot. They see what they want and fire! If they miss, make an adjustment and fire again. This is because their fiery nature doesn't like to wait or idle. This isn't everyone's style, but we will all have a touch of it for the upcoming season. So make the most of it and decide what your targets are.

All About Spring Equinox - OSTARA
The Spring Equinox marks the beginning of spring and is a time of balance, renewal, and growth. It occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator, making night and day approximately equal in length all over the world.
The Spring Equinox has been celebrated for thousands of years in various cultures and traditions as a time of new beginnings and rebirth.
It's a time to celebrate the return of longer days and warmer weather, and to connect with the natural world as it awakens from its winter slumber.
Many people use this time to set intentions for the coming year and to plant the seeds of their future goals and aspirations.
The spring equinox is a powerful time to tap into the energy of renewal and growth and to align with the cycles of nature.
Ostara, also known as the Spring Equinox, is the festival on the Wheel of The Year that celebrates the arrival of spring and the renewal of life.
It's a time when the day and night are equal in length, and the energy of the Earth is shifting towards growth and abundance.
The holiday is named after the goddess Ostara, who is associated with new beginnings and the return of light as she rises in the East.
Her name is the root word of both East and Easter which is also associated and determined by the date first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox.
It's a time for celebrating the rebirth of nature, planting new seeds, and setting intentions for the growth and expansion of the year ahead.
Many people celebrate Ostara by decorating their homes and altars with symbols of spring, such as flowers, eggs, and baby animals. It's also a time for connecting with the Earth and honoring the cycles of life and death.
