The arrival of spring and the vernal equinox heralds a brand new cycle of the SunWheel. The Sun is now in Aries and will be joined by a handful of other luminaries; this will surely set us all in a tailspin, with great ideas, sudden flashes of insight and a new personal energy that brings courage, determination and a can-do attitude. The energy of Aries is cardinal, meaning that the first sign of the zodiac is associated with fresh starts, new beginnings and a clean slate. What first needs to be done before we can experience this sense of newness? Well, the dust has to settle on the old and the lessons of the past must be put into full consideration. We’re daring, assertive and suddenly full of springtime exuberance! We must all remember, though, that the cosmic instant messenger Mercury retrogrades on March 30th and will bring a time that’s good for reflection, research and prepation for all the exciting new things yet to come. Check, recheck and double-check all communications and make certain to be abundantly clear in your dealings with others, in action and intent; Mercury retrograde has a way of making communication a little bit more interesting, for lack of a better term.
