transcend forward
Welcome to the astrological new year in our untamable and motivated sign of Aries. With Pisces season closing out that 12-month cycle and Mercury easing out of its post-shadow period, it seems we can now take those deep breaths in and begin looking ahead. March was not exactly an easy month for many of us, but it was certainly a meaningful one full of long-awaited karmic closure.
What were some of the most profound lessons you learned about yourself during this last astrological year? What new boundaries did you set? Who and what did you detach your energy from? Most importantly, who are you ready to finally become? If the last 12 months have taught you anything, it’s that you are here on this timeline for an even greater purpose than you ever imagined.
And with the spring season and astrological new year now in full bloom, look to where you have Aries in your chart to see what area of your life you have the green light to take charge of and explore your deepest desires.
April Tarot + Astrology
ARIES
Element: Cardinal Fire
Ruling Planet: Mars
Ruler of: 1st House
You made it. Pisces season came in, wreaked havoc on your energy, unraveled your deep emotions, and wrapped up the last astrological year. Aren’t you glad it’s done? I sure am.
That said, with Mercury still in its shadow period until April 9, Aries didn’t necessarily supercharge you right from the get-go. This Aries season is definitely more of an ‘ease into it’ kind of vibe. Which is kind of frustrating, but hey, Aries season is all about that impatience. It makes you want to get moving already!
The important thing to remember about Aries season is that it marks the beginning of a new cycle. This astrological new year is still in its infancy, so try not to get too discouraged if it still feels like you are walking through tree sap for a bit. Things will get moving and then you can welcome all of the fiery passion and assertiveness that Aries season was made for.
THE EMPEROR
The Divine Masculine
Ruled by: Aries
The cosmic daddy of tarot, The Emperor represents the divine masculine. This archetype emboldens you to step into your personal power and create order out of chaos. By embodying this sense of leadership, you are able to overcome fears, enforce boundaries, and implement structure. This newfound assertiveness is encouraging you to ask for what you need and take inspired action towards your goals.
Your old habits of people pleasing and allowing chaos into your energy field were survival mechanisms that are now a thing of the past as you step into the divine masculinity of The Emperor. No longer putting up with people’s bullshit, you are removing yourself from external toxicity by setting firm boundaries and prioritizing your personal sense of stability. Don’t think of this as opposing your divine feminine qualities, but actually protecting them because Aries energy offers you the courage to speak up for yourself and those you love. And by bringing more structure into your life, you are creating a safer, calmer environment from which to bring your dreams to reality.
