Spring has begun, which means the Sun is now in Aries—the start of the astrological new year and the season of new beginnings in the Northern Hemisphere. This year, the energies are especially intense. As the Sun moves through Aries, it crosses challenging planets like Saturn on Tuesday. This may limit your progress or require you to take smaller steps toward completing your projects. If you experience confusion or encounter obstacles during these three days, from Monday through late Wednesday, March 25—try not to get frustrated or give up. Instead, take a short break or spend some time reflecting overnight. Sometimes, stepping back allows new solutions to emerge. By doing this, you nurture your inner strength and resilience.
By Thursday, March 26, you’ve moved past a challenging phase that began with last week’s New Moon—a time when new beginnings can feel difficult but also offer opportunities for growth. Mercury, which was retrograde last week, is now direct. This helps over the coming weeks. As you approach Thursday, you may find it easier to manage your plans or meet someone who can help you figure out the “how-to” steps. I once heard that when you’re trying to make a major change, obstacles sometimes appear to test your resolve. When that happens, don’t be discouraged, step away for a moment and give the situation a fresh look.
This is the positive side of both Saturn and Neptune at work. The Sun’s journey through Aries brings both opportunities and challenges. Think before you act, but don’t hesitate to act when you’re truly ready. If you feel confused, pause and let your mind process things—you may find clarity after a break. By doing these things, you develop your inner hero or pioneer, ready to embrace whatever this new season brings.
