Aries Season Astrology Guide: Wine Pairings by Zodiac House
Aries season is March 21 - April 19th.
Aries is the first zodiac sign, so Aries season is the start of the Astrological new year and, in the northern hemisphere, aligns with the spring equinox. Aries is a cardinal fire sign and Aries season sparks action. This time of year is all about high energy, getting things done and new beginnings. It's a time for ambition, bold decision making and taking a direct approach to making your goals happen. If you've never been able to stick to your new year's resolutions or just don't resonate with the feeling of fresh start energy in the depth of January, Aries season is you're second chance at a clean slate for the year.
Aries energy is bold, forceful and high impact. Aries doesn't wait for permission, it creates the momentum itself and figures the rest out along the way. And whether you're an Aries sun, moon or rising, or none of the above you can embrace the Aries season energy based on where Aries is in your chart.
To find out where Aries is in your chart, you need to calculate your Rising Sign. The Rising sign is based on the date, location and exact time of your birth. There are tons of free calculators out there if you don't already know your Rising sign, personally we love Chani!
