If Your Birthday is April 2
(The Day of the Idealist) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Today’s astrology is offering you an adventure into the rich landscape of your subconscious and your dreams. Inspiration, imagination and creativity could well find new life where this alternative world connects with your consciousness. A good first step would be to write down what dreams you can remember. Be open to new ideas that get your attention, even if they seem strange or out of the blue.

Written in the Planets
On its way into Pisces, Venus makes a harmonious contact with Eros, which enters Gemini today. This offers an encouraging message about the abundance and versatility of love and compassion. There is a trend just now of considering both as finite, when in reality neither is a zero-sum game. Take courage, and be willing to open your heart and mind.

“I can respect the artistic aim of a composer if he arrives at the so-called modern idiom after an intense period of preparation…Such composers know what they are doing when they break a law; they know what to react against, because they have had experience in the classical forms and style. Having mastered the rules, they know which can be violated and which should be obeyed. But, I am sorry to say, I have found too often that young composers plunge into the writing of experimental music with their school lessons only half learned. Too much radical music is sheer sham, for this very reason: its composer sets about revolutionizing the laws of music before he learned them himself.”
— Sergei Rachmaninoff

If Your Birthday is April 1
(The Day of Dignity) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Your ruling planet, Mars, might not be in its ‘home sign’, yet right now it’s ringing the bell of a very energized section of Aries. No matter what philosophical, emotional or spiritual issue you might be grappling with, remember: you’ve incarnated in a physical body. And that body benefits when you move it. Don’t get hung up on how to move — just so long as you dance (or run, or swim, or play vigorously or whatever) how you want to. Enjoy the sensations. You’d be surprised how radical — political, even — that can seem to some.

Written in the Planets
Where are you in the process of sorting out your own true values, desires and identity from that of your family? How about in relation to your wider ‘family’: your community, your culture and even the ‘big daddy figure’ that is the government? It’s easy to forget that most of our personal relationships mimic familial dynamics. And it’s astonishing how much people look to, say, an authoritative president to make them feel ‘safe’. With retrograde Venus and asteroid Pallas both on the Aries Point and both square an object called Quaoar in Capricorn, these issues are on point — personally and collectively. Notice where the patterns echo each other: on the world stage, around your dinner table and within your own consciousness. It’s okay to dance to your music without following the established choreography.

If Your Birthday is March 31
(The Day of Tenacity) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
As your sense of how your values shape your identity becomes clearer, you may notice that some element of the equation feels at odds with family traditions. It’s true that we can never fully escape the patterns we were born into. Yet, it’s also true that understanding those original dance steps, and integrating their lessons consciously, can be a more effective way of growing beyond them. Today you can combine your insights about who you are with some real strategy and wisdom.

Written in the Planets
Mercury leaves Aries and moves into Taurus today. See if you don’t feel your common sense kicking in a bit better. Mercury in Taurus may focus your mind on more artistic pursuits than usual, and favors learning by doing (rather than reading about something). If you have to deal with financial matters, this is a favorable placement for the planet of the mind. Yet Mercury is also slowing down, and it is entering a sign ruled by a “personal planet” that is currently retrograde: Venus. Be methodical in anything you tackle, and remember that “methodical” is not the same as “stubborn,” should you encounter a curveball.

If Your Birthday is March 30
(The Day of Uncompromising Vision) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You are likely to experience a certain renewal. This could appear as a return of opportunities you may previously have thought diminished or lost, or a chance to turn a former decision to better account. Alternatively, it may simply manifest as a refreshing surge of energy and a restored vigour. Use it as wisely as you can.

Written in the Planets
Jupiter’s square to Pluto today highlights the apparent contrast between diplomacy and honesty. In fact, these are qualities that are equally necessary and by no means mutually exclusive. Social cohesion depends on some kind of resistor on the thought-to-speech pathway, as it were. However, what with the extra activity in Aries, you may well be coming down on the side of greater authenticity in your communications. That is entirely your call.

If Your Birthday is March 29
(The Day of the Observer) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Where do you locate your desire? Today you may notice it feels especially supported and informed by past relational structures and emotional needs. Yet, at its core, desire is of the present (even if it’s fueled by dreams of the near future). Particularly when discussing sexual desire, it pays to stay conscious of it as an embodied, real-time experience. So much of our interaction with and expression of desire is now mediated through digital technology, which can be a useful tool when used with awareness. But your physical senses very literally feed desire, and sexual desire can rev up your body like few other things. Stay in touch with that connection.

Written in the Planets
Today Mercury in Aries makes a trine with Saturn in Sagittarius. This brings an element of discipline into what might otherwise feel like an impulsive or reactive time. If you’re feeling fired up to get a particular project planned and organized, you can use today’s energy to good effect. Work systematically, even if you encounter an unexpected detail, development or glitch. With the Moon joining Mars in Taurus today, you can be persistent. Just be aware if your emotions start to simmer and approach a boil; using physical activity to let off steam before pressure builds too much could mean the difference between progress and regrets.

If Your Birthday is March 28
(The Day of Innocence) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Who are you, and what do you want to do with your time on Earth? The Aries New Moon overnight into this morning is asking this question. Are you listening for the answer? Hint: it won’t come from outside of yourself. Temporarily pausing your usual impulses to leap into action might help you to hear a deeper — and ultimately more satisfying — answer, which you can then pursue with your typical gusto.

Written in the Planets
It’s possible that the Aries New Moon overnight into this morning manifested for you with an impulse to plant the metaphorical seed of some new endeavor. Or maybe you received some unusual insight about yourself and what you think of as your ‘identity’. Another possibility: you’re getting a wake-up call associated with how you use your technology, and its implications for ‘who you think you are’. If those devices are not working the way you’re used to, this effect will be pronounced. Yet if that last option fits you, it likely has less to do with the Moon and more to do with retrograde Venus in early Aries (which can act like Mercury retrograde), and Mercury in late Aries. Yesterday, Mercury entered its pre-retrograde shadow (or ‘echo’) phase; it stations retrograde April 9. If you’ve been meaning to back up your computer, or have to deal with crucial financial issues that absolutely cannot wait until early May, take care of those tasks sooner rather than later. Go slowly and methodically.

“I worked with an artist in London who said that our society has changed to such an extent that we need to change what we consider a hero to be. We need to change our conception of heroism. You can watch TV and watch the movies and — I mean, in real life, we don’t really have any Superman. We don’t have a guy who’s ultimately powerful, who can solve problems with his fists or a gun, and he’s always fantastic. That’s not reality. I’ve found a real comfort in the idea of a hero that has flaws, a hero that is real, an actual person. Not everybody is good all the time, that’s reality.”
— Nathan Fillion

Aries New Moon: The Adventure Continues
Monday night we experience the Aries New Moon, the latest of a series of conjunctions in the energetic first sign of the zodiac. Late last week was the Venus-Sun conjunction; Sunday Mercury passed by the Uranus-Eris conjunction; and now the Moon and the Sun will form their first conjunction of the astrological year.

Fractal. Credit: pixabay.com.

Aries is about initiation; that is, beginnings. It’s the ignition of the zodiac, the start of the astrological year, and the Sun in this sign arrives with the surge of energy that pushes life up out of the ground during the Northern Hemisphere spring. Now this is being fully activated by the Aries New Moon.

The world around us is restless, and you may be feeling that within yourself. This is well-described by the Uranus-Eris conjunction, the beginning of a new 90-year cycle that’s just begun.

There’s a sensation of rising chaos, and the sense that we live in revolutionary times. The question is, whose revolution? A revolution of what? Much of the strangeness and even chaos that we’re seeing, feeling and experiencing is the result of having our identities and self-concept up-ended by the onslaught of digital technology that’s come on like a hurricane. But it’s so pervasive we can barely see it for what it is.

Consider this, though. The internet is an external factor. Aries and everything happening there points to each of us as individuals. Uranus conjunct Eris in Aries is really about the revolution within.

If you follow this underneath appearances, and into the feeling of what it means to be alive, you might notice that you really do have an inner life. This is described by the many planets still in Pisces: Chiron, Neptune, Nessus, Pallas Athene, and soon-to-be Venus.

If Your Birthday is March 27
(The Day of the Originator) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You have gained some important knowledge about yourself that can help you break through past challenges. Trust your instincts, and honor your needs; this will help you maintain your self-esteem. Your dreams could inspire you further, though be sure to keep a degree of realism in your expectations of yourself. You can achieve quite enough without being a Marvel-style hero.

Written in the Planets
The phrase ‘new moon’ long ago made its way into common usage, meaning a fresh start, which rings true astrologically. Tonight’s Aries New Moon suggests that we are beginning this particular cycle a little wiser. It may be useful to bear in mind that even the most difficult teaching experiences can be invaluable, as well as rewarding in ways that might not be immediately clear. Don’t forget also that while altering the past might be out of everyone’s reach, creating a better future is your privilege as a human being.

If Your Birthday is March 26
(The Day of Integrity) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You could very well receive a sudden inspiration relating to all the mayhem and chaos pervading the world, and specifically to how you can navigate it. There are ways of turning even the oddest situation to your advantage, and of finding your niche even when there’s no roadmap. Your inner truth is acting like a beacon.

Written in the Planets
Today, Mercury makes contact with the slowly dispersing Uranus-Eris conjunction. This is likely to have the effect of bringing a globally significant aspect into personal perspective. You might find you are now able to make sense of the past year or so; or perhaps the immediate present, and wherever it’s tending. It will probably help if you keep in mind that you have your own gifts and also the power to decide where and how to apply them.
