Astrology Forecast March 18 – 24, 2024

Happy Astrological New Year! Late tomorrow night, the Sun will enter Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, marking the annual beginning of the astrological year and a brand new season.

This event is known as the Vernal or Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.

It typically occurs on March 20 or 21 each year, although the exact date and time can vary slightly due to the leap year cycle. It marks the point in time when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving northward.

The Vernal Equinox represents a time of balance between day and night, after which the days begin to become longer than the nights, signaling the beginning of spring and a time of renewal and new beginnings.

Aries symbolizes initiation, action, and a pioneering spirit, making the Sun’s entry into Aries a fitting start to the astrological cycle. This is an optimal time to set intentions, start new projects, and embark on new ventures.

The Astrological New Year encourages us to reflect on the past, set goals for the future, and embrace the energy of renewal and growth. It’s a time to take bold steps forward, assert our individuality, and pursue our passions with courage and enthusiasm.

Creative, assertive and sometimes aggressive, Aries is the sign of the warrior and the symbol of rebirth. As we move into a new phase over the next four weeks, everything will take on a new energy and look, reminding us that life is always renewing itself!

We may get off to a slow start today as the Moon moves through Cancer, but rest assured, once the Moon enters Leo on Wednesday, the fire energy will be abundant! Mars moves into Pisces on Friday, which can be a difficult sign for the planet of action, calling us to go within to create the outer movement we seek.

Friday and Saturday’s Virgo Moon could spur us into a major “spring cleaning” frenzy, but the focus on physical movement will keep us from getting stuck in our heads for a few days. Once the Moon moves into Libra on Sunday, we’ll be all about communication, research, and socializing.
