Sun into Aries, Vernal Equinox

In Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back, Luke encounters Yoda, who explains "The Force" that's all around to make an ally. Luke says, "All right, I'll give it a try." Yoda replies, "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try."

That could be an Aries saying. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, one of big action and big energy. The Sun goes into Aries today, which also marks the first day of Spring -- the Vernal Equinox.

Aries season is the atmosphere for growth spurts, right along with nature. And yet, Aries' ruler Mars is retrograde now, and in the opposite sign Libra. The Ram without subtlety or sense of timing can come up against resistance or worse -- no reaction at all.

There are a lot of cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) energies in play, so actions can get a strong reaction. Where is Aries in your birth chart? That's the life sphere where you come alive, when facing fears and doing it anyway.

Like the young German Christoph Rehage who walked 3,000 miles across China -- documented here in time-lapse images, The Longest Way. He was driven to do it, and he did. That's the spirit of The Fool in the Tarot, and Aries. Happy Spring!
