ARIES

Today is the first day of the rest of my life,

I wake as a child to see the world begin.

On monarch wings and birthday wonderings,

want to put on faces.

John Denver. Today is the First Day of the Rest of My Life

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Or should I say February marks the first month of it? Dance, play, unfurl monarch wings, express yourself, muse, wonder and look at the world with the wide-eyed awe of a child again under the full Moon in Leo.

You are now choosing what version of you comes next. You may discard old identities you’ve had to adopt out of necessity or what I like to call maladapting to fit in, and allow yourself the pure unrestrained luxury of allowing yourself to experiment with who you want to be now. The full Moon trines Ceres in your 1^st. This is a deal you make with yourself. There’s no rush, Aries. Choosing which version of you comes next only asks you reconnect to what hands you joy, clarity, pleasure and boosts your self-confidence. Radiance is the key word here. What allows you to be that? Feel that? Because if you embrace yours, it becomes self-sustaining.

Even as you prepare for a brand new cycle unlike any other, there’s a slow down happening. Mercury meets the North Node in Pisces and your 12^th and on the very same day enters retroshadow. It will engage with the North Node three times during its retrocycle. Change who you believe yourself to be – you change your destiny. Which is why you can take your time. The process may be playful – but it will have the effect of changing more than simply the outer you. It rewrites your core programming for this lifetime. It begins with intuitive nudges which occur in sync with any outer changes. Pay close attention. This is closure on an old chapter.

Since 2020 we’ve all witnessed ‘Once in a lifetime’ transits occurring on more than one occasion. Feb 14-20 brings the most significant one for you yet. Because it takes place in your sign and at the key 0^o of it. The very start of the 360^o zodiac wheel and the point of birth or emergence. Which is why we are talking about a whole new you, Aries! On Feb 14, Saturn re-enters your sign and on Feb 20, meets Neptune. This has not happened in our lifetimes. This will mark a very definite ending between one era and a new one. It will impact every single person on the planet in some way, shape or form. And there’s no going back to the way we were. Or the way you were in your case, Aries.

The conjunction fuses together realism with idealism. No matter when your birthday falls this year, the 20^th will stand out as the day you unfurled those monarch wings and gave birth to a more real and authentic version of you. You dissolve the old you gently – like that butterfly emerging from the chrysalis. This epic meeting of two very different energies also throws a light on something which is no longer viable for you. This is pure clarity and ensures when you take flight now, you only take with you what truly aligns with your authenticity.

We are back in eclipse season this month. With an Annular Solar Eclipse on the upcoming nodal axis of Aquarius/Leo. The Aquarian new Moon (17^th), also ushers in the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse. It’s a dark horse with a fiery mane and tail due to this being the kind of eclipse which produces that classic ‘Ring of Fire’ effect around the Sun. Hold your horses, Aries. Resist the charge and the rush. Like all eclipses, something is hidden. Although something has a ‘ring of truth’ you may glimpse – then it vanishes. The eclipse squares Uranus in Taurus and your 2^nd house. Asking you to hold tight to your money and values. The hidden message for you may well be whether you measure your worth by how much you earn or have. Especially if when it comes to your goals, you believe manifesting what you want will change how you see yourself. If we begin our manifesting journey from a place of undeservedness, then we are setting ourselves up for failure.

This eclipse may usher in changes around your social circle. Which is now in a period of evolution due to the personal one you are undertaking. Like attracts like. It’s that simple. Anything that destablises under the eclipse, is making way for who or what is more aligned to your energetic truth. Keep this in mind.

Allow yourself time to adjust as the Sun moves into Pisces and your 12^th from the 18^th. Take time to recalibrate, rest and reflect. Mercury reverses in here from the 26^th. Offering up a period of final release of what you no longer need. Pause and enjoy releasing who you were to become who you now are. And are becoming from today onwards.

In a nutshell: Bold new beginnings beckon with the timely arrival of Saturn in your sign. Its meeting with Neptune opens up a rare new era of self-determination. That’s the wonder of you, Aries.
