"We the People...!" You are a drop of water amongst an ocean of humanity; it is time to feel the waves! Allow your bravery and courage to inspire the other women to ignite their fires within! April's Total Solar Eclipse in your sign banishes the shadows and allows authentic clarity to shine! Jupiter is a boon to your sense of worth and self-esteem. Become who you are fated to be and burn away any attachment to the past that is holding you back. As others are empowered, so are you. The community is you!
End of year pushback makes you stronger. Irritations add fuel to your fire, allowing for explosive outcomes of inclusivity! “The People” as opposed to “The Man” are on the frontlines and “The People” will Prevail! Standing up for human rights rather than against the wrongs will garner more success. Focus on the Positive!

from pg 65 in We’Moon 2024
If you're born under the Aries Sun, you radiate this straightforward, strong, direct energy, but can be easily sidetracked by reactivity.
Own your own paradigm, mature your rebellion into leadership. Forgive others their more circuitous route.

Moon in Aries accesses our fire; temper, impatience and passion.
We feel an urgency to focus, but we can lose our empathy. It's time to do what truly makes us feel alive, to initiate projects and set boundaries.
Their sparky personality is their gift; their challenge is to learn patience and consistency.
Aries by Day: We come alive and cop an attitude.
The mood is direct, brusque, impatient, and alternates between energized and lazy. Let's get the party started and boldly go where we have not gone before.

What is a rising sign you ask, the rising sign is the sign that was present on the horizon at the time of your birth. It sits similarly on your birth chart on this horizon line, or equatorial line in your chart on the left or east side of your chart.
Do calculate your rising sign, you'll need to know the exact time of your birth, once you know along with your geographic location, you can visit many sites and receive a free birth chart, here is one of our staff favorites.
Your sun sign represents your core personality, and the qualities of our outward shining self. Your moon sign reflects qualities of your inner core self, or emotional self.
Rising sign also dictates where the Astrological Houses lay within your chart.
The Houses (twelve pie shaped sections) of our personal birth chart attend to all areas of our life. Each house represents a basic facet of human experience from birth to death.The placement of each house in your natal chart is dependent on your rising sign
If your rising sign is in Aries, that means you have a "Natural Chart." Meaning your houses and signs correspond to the same trails as the zodiac signs, each house is ruled by a sign, an Aries Rising has a chart where their house is ruled by their natural sign.
Aries Rising are the trailblazers of the zodiac. These rising signs will most likely always be the first to try the rope swing or open the dance floor. Their instincts are spot on and have a strong passion.
If this doesn't sound like you, remember that the rising sign is only one peice of the astrological puzzle. An Aries Rising and Pisces Moon may be quick to interact but has lots of secrets and depth that they only show with close friends and family.
Welcome to the first day of Spring, the Sun moving into Aries also announces the Spring Equinox.

The world comes alive during this time. Spring Equinox awakens the plants, animals and sky. The weather shifts and rainbows can be seen scattering the sky after spring storms.
We begin to prepare for a busy season ahead. The gardens are being prepared and we are eager to explore the wider world after the quiet dark months of winter have passed.
Aries rules the sunrise. As Spring brings new growth, the sunrise begins a new day. Birds start to chirp and flowers unfurl their petals for the sun to soon warm them. We stretch our bodies and our minds and start thinking about the day ahead and what it holds for us.
We start fresh every day, every season.
The traditional Aries "spark" can be found in the synapses that fire in our brain. These signals are also the match to light our movement everywhere in our body.
The eyes open and perceive the world first thing in the morning, Opening our eyes and senses is one of the first steps to truly awakening from the Pisces dream world.
Planets in Aries are quick to start projects and often love to work alone. They crave a sense of freedom and often take the lead on ideas.
Make sure to keep fueling the fire, as that beginning sprak can easily burn out. These planets in Aries can be impulsive, and firey.
“The Houses (twelve pie shaped sections) of our personal birth chart attend to all areas of our life. Each house represents a basic facet of human experience from birth to death.”
The placement of each house in your natal chart is dependent on your rising sign. A person with an Aries rising has what is called a “natural chart”. A rising sign is the sign ascending on the eastern horizon on the time of your birth, it can be calculated using a rising sign calculator here!
From the moment of our first breath, we strengthen in chi, and gradually keep discovering, expressing and becoming more conscious of our greater selves.
