Aries Season 🐑 Spring Equinox 2025

artist: Raymond Douillet

Mar 20 (Spring Equinox) – Apr 19, 2025

Your sun sign is just one planet in your star soup. Curious about the rest? Contact me for a natal chart reading!

From the belly of a long, strange dream, you awaken. The earth is cold and night yet all around. You crawl to the shore. Step by step, dark water falls away. Ahead looms the mountain. You climb effortlessly and without hesitation. Your eyes open to a blood red sun rising over jagged peaks. You kneel before the gong, body quaking with the earth as she splits, and into her fires you fall.

Welcome to the crimson mesa, where feral flames lick inner shores. If Pisces is the last breath, Aries is the first. Pisces Season dismantles everything; Aries arrives on phoenix wings with the spring equinox. The earth turns now towards all that is new.

Aries is an examination of the ego, that force within which is most fundamental to our sense of self, our being-ness. We have to sit with ourselves and fearlessly observe the endless parade of thoughts and impulses and aversions and attachments that course through our consciousness, the parade of ME, the micro drama within each human.

We need to move the body too. Aries loves to move. Heat in the body burns us anew. We attain clarity. We feel ready to begin again, ready to commit.

Here we are, the first stop on the zodiac wheel, ravaged by springtime lust. Change and endings during Pisces Season start to make sense. Pen and page touch; planets form. The sun blazes down from on high, inviting us to jump headfirst into the year.

A scarlet gem smolders in the pineal gland, arousing the senses. This is the ram’s invincible life-giving power. Suffering sizzles in columns of sparkling vermilion smoke. Doubt, insecurity, and fear evaporate. Fire does not reflect, it moves. Dance, fill the dark sky with your light. See the sun chase down the dark night of the soul.

***Major heads up: Aries Season is the first transit to occur with both Venus and Mercury Retrograde in Aries. This year Aries Season is EXTREMELY dynamic with retrogrades, a solar eclipse, and Neptune making huge moves into Aries too:

Mar 20: Spring Equinox 3:01 am CDT

Mar 22: Quarter Moon in Capricorn + Sun conjunct Venus Rx in Aries. Venus Retrograde’s strong presence ensures social dysfunction, especially in the workplace. Confrontation or awkwardness.

Mar 24: Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Aries. This aspect is productive yet, with the retrograde influence, decidedly over-stimulating. Fatigue and discomfort common.

Mar 27: Venus retrogrades back to Pisces 🐠

Mar 29: New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries + Mercury retrogrades back to Pisces 🐠

Mar 30: Neptune enters Aries 🔥🔥🔥

Apr 4: Quarter Moon in Cancer 

Apr 7: Mercury Retrograde ends ✨

Apr 12: Full Moon in Libra + Venus Retrograde ends ✨

Apr 16: Mercury spins back into Aries 🔥

Apr 17: Mars enters Leo 🐆
