Mercury in Aries ☿ 2023

Mar 18 – Apr 3, 2023

Mercury rules the mind, communication, and the throat chakra. With Mercury in Pisces for the last week, communication has been strange and complicated. Ultimately this transit will deliver us to a more forgiving place, but not without a healthy dose of pain and passive aggression first. We’re at the end of the zodiac wheel and it’s a mess, let’s be real. Energy levels are low, immune systems suppressed, anxiety and depression running rampant. The message is clear: we have to fucking take care of ourselves. The healing is happening slowly but it is happening, I promise. We are all waiting so patiently for spring to come. Let the waves of Pisces wash everything away over these next couple weeks, creating beautiful empty space for the flames of the spring equinox.

Mercury in Aries sweeps us right into the astrological new year with a fiery boom and blast. Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, providing a fresh start and rebirth.

Every year when Pisces season ends, we eagerly anticipate the renaissance of the spring equinox and beginning of Aries season. Here we are, gasping for air on the beach, heaved ashore by the turbid waters of Pisces. Mercury erupts with joy and laughter in Aries. Get ready for a major influx of mental, physical, and sexual energy. It’s time to reawaken the mind and free the spirit.

What we are here to experience is the power of starting over – the power of looking in the mirror and saying, you know what? I did my best, or I didn’t, and now I’m moving forward, and opportunities will keep arriving. Part of what it means to reclaim the Aries inner child is to reclaim our role as students of life – fully humble.

All things new, fresh, energizing, and exciting coming your way ~
