Spring Equinox, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIES, & Emotion

Sun’s illumination of earth during an Equinox — Vernal and Autumnal.
We made it to Friday, and powerful day it is — the Sun (Personality) moves into Aries, and the Spring (Vernal) Equinox begins.
Plus, our Moon (Emotions) works in harmony with three planets: Saturn,
Mercury, and Uranus. Appropriate then, that it is also International
Astrology Day! You will find that you feel you can speak today about
some of the practical restrictions that have held you from new ideas.
At work this could simply be funding. At home? It might be the same.
Your task is to be creative and inventive with what you have. That you
are raising awareness of it — talking about it, is a good sign.
Remember to maintain your morals, values & principles, as well as your core Spiritual Faith, doing so will guide you correctly in every area of your life.
International Astrology Day (most often observed on either
March 20 or March 21) is an annual observance/holiday celebrated by
astrologers. It is seen by astrologers as the beginning (first
day) of the astrological year, since it is the first full day of the
astrological sign of Aries — the beginning of the tropical Zodiac. An
equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is
inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the Sun being
vertically above a point on the Equator. The term equinox can also be
used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens.
At an equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the
celestial sphere where the celestial equator (i.e. declination 0) and
ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial
points: the vernal point and the autumnal point.

Earlier in the week, we saw the Moon (influencing our
emotional selves) in harmony with both Venus (Love), and Jupiter
(Expansion). So, you might feel like a “Love Machine” today.
The Moon was also squaring off with Mercury (Communication), and Saturn
(Restrictions) — that one’s obvious… you don’t feel like talking about
the rules, at work or at home. But be careful when you put all that
together — a lot of loving with no rules has led many down a dangerous
path. Remember to maintain your principles, values, and core Spiritual
Faith. That will will always be your guide.
On Saturday, we find the Moon in harmony with the Sun — our
emotional side working with our personality (the thinking part of us).
This brings a certain balance to your Spring weekend morning. But,
yesterday’s ability to talk about being practical when it comes to new
ideas… can also cause a bit of tension today. That’s ok. No one ever
lived a life free of tension, and it is under a bit of creative stress
that we always do our best work. Remember it is also the time of the
powerful Ram — in the sign of Aries — and that energy will help you
conquer and win.
