aries season this year is sad and confusing and beautiful and asking us to get both creative and disciplined about courage.

aries

your season starts when day and night are the same length.
everyone talks about Libra as a sign of balance – but balance,
and the challenge / tension / struggle of balance,
is highly relevant to you too.
try to figure out if your ambitions
can match your emptiness and ability to compost.
coz they shape each other.

you’re starting an important process and it won’t be comfortable.

but it will make you more solid, more yourself and a lot less afraid of your emptiness.
and we like that very much…

listen to “Spirit in the Dark” by fellow Aries, Aretha Franklin.

and be uplifted by how heavy fog reveals its own magic.

taurus

you’re entering a period where some of the discomforts you’ve experienced over the past month may finally start to make a little sensey sense.
let time be soft, and let your learnings be subtle.
process does not always mean instability.
sometimes it just means process.

things are both ending and beginning and also taking forever to end or begin.
but actually it’s all a homecoming in disguise.
the center of your body is your home.

listen to Meredith Monk’s song “Dawn”

and see your body as sunrise… gradual, growing and gorgeous.

gemini

it’s been a little messy but Aries season brings some forward motion.
remember that everything can feel like it’s everywhere and still have its place.

something subtle is happening for you
and it’s supportive. but you’ve got tune into it. small change accumulates into big change eventually.
towards the end of april, you’re gonna feel a big ol’ pop of energy. just let it happen.

Noname’s entire album ‘Telefone’ feels very grieving, spiritual Gemini to me.

listen to the first song on the album called “Yesterday”

feel your access to both sorrow and resilience.

cancer

whatever thing you are in a complicated relationship with (work, partner(s), body, family) Aries season wants to bring a break-through.

usually we like the word “break-through” but usually it involves things breaking and we don’t like that. usually we can’t have both.
try to stay with the tension and trust time as best you can.
sometimes staying really reveals when to go
which can connect you with your sense of self-sovereignity.

it all depends on whether you can trust time which objectively is not easy.

listen to “In Time” by FKA Twigs

and let yourself
feel the tension of the thing.

leo

there’s something almost triumphant for you happening. maybe you’re settling into the new
form you’ve being growing into.
or at least, becoming more consciousness that you are growing into a new form.

something about this new form is essentially related to power.
consider your philosophies around power.
let your beliefs about power transform.
(esp in relationships.)

listen to “The Greater Times” by Electrelane.

it’s a song that feels both victorious and tragically realistic.

making space for both of those emotions to exist for you is a useful skill right now.

virgo

i’ts been wobbly, to say the least.
give yourself permission to literally say the least…
drift through language, let your tongue and words wobbble.
wyrdly enough, now is a time where you
benefit by letting things sslide and slip around.

don’t hold on too tight, instead feel gently for what is on the edges of your peripheral vision.
by now you’ve learn that you can really fucking trust yourself.

listen to “Hiding Your Present From You” by Arthur Russell.

and feel how wobbles can be oddly meloddic and how things being out of sight
can also be a sensation of excitement.

libra

tis the season of reflection for you dear libra.
reflection can be confronting.
make sure you’re hydrated and grounded before you do some confronting, but do do some confronting.

you are entering a chapter of your life that is ripe for fine tuning boundaries in relationships.
start your equinox with allowing yourself some distance from those you are in close relationship with.

distance can also be confronting but it can also a more honest type of intimacy because it provides perspective on what belongs to you.

try to trust your gut. and listen to
“Almost Happy” by K’s Choice.

scorpio

deep down inside of you, you know you like to work. but something about how you go
about your work needs to shift.
u r tired scorpio.
and you might need to seriously start considering the sustainability
of not only your work, but also your body.

Aries season can often feel like a bit of a grind for you but
sweat is information about what can and cannot do. dance is your ally in finding your limits.for the next month or so, offer all of your stress and concerns upon the altar of dance.
invite a friend to join.
get lost along the way.

listen (and dance) to “Lose Yourself to Dance” by Daft Punk.

sagittarius

it could be that you see yourself as someone quite skilled at being able to hold a lot.
which is true. but sometimes i think that Sagittarius energy doesn’t always know how hold emotions or events or sensations
that they don’t immediately recognise.

this season be open to things revealing themselves s l o w l y . allow slowness to meet both your creativity and your pleasure. let yourself be surprised because life is truly becoming increasingly surprising.

things are not what they seem and as disconcerting as this is, it also asks us to slow down and look closer. surprise can also bring us closer to a state of innocence, which is its own kind of openness…

listen to “Nobody’s Child” – a weird oldie by Electric Light Orchestra.

capricorn

a classic feature of your sort of tragic beauty is a how both on and in time you are,
but also how at odds with time you are.
Aries season might seem like this time of year where people are kind of going out and starting things.

but for you, this time of the year feels more like a challenging visit home.
within whatever challenge you face,
let something come home.
give yourself permission to recluse and take stock (but don’t judge your stock).

drink something warm, listen to “Woncha Come on Home” by Joan Armatrading and summon the mixture of courage and vulnerability required to return to your roots…

aquarius

surely you can sense the dramatic change on the horizon.
maybe you’re already in the thick of it, or maybe you’re catching glimpses of it,
but there’s a big transformation on your cosmic to-do list and i would advise you not to language it just yet.

instead nourish yourself so your system is cushioned to absorb the shocks that will come with this dramatic change. also:
give yourself pep talks.

the word “pep” in pep talks actually comes from pepper, so a pep-per talk is a speech designed to give you
vigour and a kind of fire.

ask friends to give you a little pep talk, let them pour fuel into your tank as you listen to “A New Career in a New Town” by David Bowie.

pisces

you should be really proud of yourself.
over the last few years you’ve gone through challenges that have felt like stagnation but indeed (and maybe you’re starting feeling it now) have actually been profound maturation.
now is the time to start recognizing that and also integrating it, in your body so to speak.

find little moments to celebrate,
especially through food. approach food and nourishment as a way of ingesting support, literally enabling your body to integrate how you’ve grown,
consuming the courage and energy you need to do be present with our world right now,
in your newly-realised matured manner.

let yourself be buoyant and listen to
“Moules Frites” by fellow Pisces (with an Aries stellium) – Stromae.
