Aries Marks the New Year!

It is officially Aries Season, which coincides with the start of spring, marking the Astrological New Year. Even though the Gregorian Calendar marks January as the start of the new year, it occurs in the middle of winter, a time for rest and hibernation. Spring is the natural new year because it marks new beginnings; a time to plant seeds and when flowers start to bloom.

It is important to note that the Northern Hemisphere has a different spring equinox than the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, while we are experiencing the start of spring, they are experiencing the start of autumn. As a result, some believe that the astrology signs differ based on location. So, while it is Aries season here, the Southern Hemisphere will experience it during their Astrological New Year in September.

Aries launches the start of the zodiac cycle, indicating a time to take action towards our desired goals. Since 2025 is a Mars-ruled year in numerology, and Mars rules Aries in astrology, this is the ideal time to transition into who you wish to be by the end of the year. Aries is all about passion, creative expression, and embracing your fears. It is a time to ask yourself, what are some of your biggest fears?

Mars is the planet of war, aggression, and primal desires. So, how can you embody that Martian energy this year? Reflect on your conflict resolution skills, especially your anger management. Reflect on what a healthy sexual relationship looks like for you. Initiate those inspired passion projects or creative forms of self-expression that make you feel alive. 

Because the Astrological New Year is in alignment with the natural cycles of nature, following the zodiacal seasons is a helpful way to amplify your manifestations. Each season focuses on different themes, and Aries calls us to act based on inspired risks and embrace bold new beginnings. Your intentionality in embracing Martian energy will set the tone for the rest of 2025.
