Astro Blog: Aries Season 2024 (March 19 – April 19). Total Eclipse, Mercury retrograde, and major planet conjunctions

Updated: May 20

Hello dear readers and astrology enthusiasts - here comes an insightful post about the current Aries season - brought to you by Inner Sun - www.inner-sun.art.


An exceptional post, because this is a very intense and meaningful astrological period. 

Let's brace ourselves for a bumpy ride.

 

Aries Season (March 19 - April 19): redefine and undertake our personal Hero journey

On March 19 we entered Aries Season. It was the Vernal (Spring) Equinox and the Astrological happy new year. 

 

The Soul of Aries is the spark of Life. The first, warrior young leaf that bravely emerges from the dark womb of the Earth. It is bright, gorged with Life and energy, hungry for experience. 

 

Aries is Fire. Aries is I. Ego. The beautiful vehicle of the Soul on Earth, once it is integrated with the Body and Heart. 


Aries craves action and evolves into purpose. Aries is instinct, that specific type of intuition that evolves into inspiration.

 

The Aries season (March 19 to April 19, 2024) calls us to redefine and undertake our personal Hero journey. 


The 2023-2025 Aries/Libra Eclipses: a powerful, intense period where we revisit our relationships (to others and ourselves), life balance, ego, self-assertion, and purpose


On Monday, March 25, we entered one of this year's two Eclipse tunnels, with the Full Moon and partial Lunar eclipse in Libra. 

 

On Monday, April 8, the New Moon and Total eclipse in Aries will be the peak of this Eclipse period. It will also be the peaking point of the March 2023-March 2025 Aries/Libra Eclipse Tunnel, during which we are visiting themes such as our relationships (to others and ourselves), life balance, ego, self-assertion, and purpose.

 

This is a powerful, intense period. Unpredictable and tricky to navigate. Unprepared and unaware, an eclipse season can be a rough ride. But if you tune into your inner sense of purpose and balance, there is great energy to be harnessed, in this case towards breakthroughs and purposeful action. Your Heroic Journey.

Mercury retrograde in Aries (April 2 to 26): Times of confusion, but also insights and epiphanies

 

Be aware that the April 8 New Moon will land in a Mercury retrograde season (April 2 to 26), which makes reflection before action even more difficult (and, probably, more necessary than ever). We might see a few epically bad decisions being made by those unaware. 

 

Mercury retrograde usually brings mishaps and confusion in our thoughts, communications, actions, and in the overall functioning of the world, especially what connects us (telecommunications, transports, technology). While thinking straight is difficult, those times bring insights and epiphanies to those who take it slow. 

 

Mars crosses Saturn in Pisces (April 9-10): time for inspiration and intention setting for our biggest, boldest dreams and goals


Mars is the Ruler or Aries. The God of War, one of the Masculine principles of the Zodiac, the fieriest of planets, is currently swimming in the Water of Pisces. While decisive action is complicated in Pisces, dreams and inspired willpower are favored by the Water sign. Saturn however, imposes limitation and discipline, therefore making impulsive, rapid, drastic action near impossible at this time. This placement suggests once again that this is a time for inspiration and intention setting for our biggest, boldest dreams and goals. Not for action.


Jupiter meets Uranus in Taurus, a rare and major astrological event (April 22): possible major breakthroughs

This happens during the Taurus season. It will be the topic of another post, soon 😊
