The Wheel of the Year does indeed keep turning, we’ve just celebrated the Spring Equinox (or autumn if you are in the Southern Hemisphere) and now, we step into Aries season with all the fiery, bold, and unstoppable Aries season energy of new beginnings!
Aries season marks the start of the astrological new year, which means it’s the perfect time to set intentions, take action, and step into the most confident and capable version of yourself. And, if the January new year hype simply isn’t for you, consider this the start of your new year officially and get ready to go all in!
After the dreamy, more introspective vibes of Pisces season, Aries walks through the door like a little wake-up call, reminding us that it’s time to stop thinking and over-analyzing and just go for it. This is the season of bold moves, fearless beginnings, and embracing your inner fire energy. So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to start something new; the start of spring, Aries season, and the upcoming New Moon should seriously do the trick! This is your sign to take action and Aries energy is here to help propel you forward towards whatever it is you have been dreaming about.
So today, we’re going to get into into that motivating Aries season energy, how it affects us, and, most importantly, how to work with it in order to create transformation, growth, magic, and aligned action in our lives.
Aries Season Energy Overview
Aries season begins around March 20th or 21st, coinciding with the Spring Equinox—which is a time of balance before we get to enjoy into the lighter part of the year and move forward with refreshed and revitalized energy.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, ruled by Mars, the planet of action, ambition, and courage. This is the energy warriors, trendsetters, and those who have the courage and confidence to start something new.
This season brings with it a lot of momentum, passion, motivation, and determination and, on the flip side, it can also come with impatience, impulsiveness, and even burnout if we don’t work with it mindfully and intentionally. Sometimes, having such a surge of energy can be a lot so we’ll go through some of the best ways to harness it as we move through the post.
How Does Aries Season Energy Show Up For Us?
So, how does Aries energy actually show up in our lives? You might notice that you’re feeling more:
🔥 More Motivated, Ready to Take Action and start new projects, find yourself saying yes to more things or taking on things you may have been putting off or just avoiding.
🔥 More Confident & Independent – Aries season has a theme of self-empowerment. You may feel a stronger connection to your own inner power and want to start showing up as your most authentic self.
🔥You may also be Impatient or Restless – In today’s world we are used to things being fast and at our fingertips. The fiery Aries energy may amplify this and can make us want instant results even more, and if things don’t move fast enough, we may find ourselves frustrated.
🔥 Physically Energized – You might have more energy to move your body, exercise, or spend more time outdoors. So if you’ve been wanting to establish a fitness or gym routine, now is definitely the time.
This energy is really bold and direct. And learning to use it in a meaningful way, without over doing it, that will benefit your life’s path will have you feeling empowered throughout the season and beyond.
Now that we understand Aries season energy a little bit better, let’s talk some ways to work with it that is aligned to our own energy and intentions.
Ways to Embrace Aries Season Energy
1. Set Bold Intentions & Take Inspired Action
Aries energy is about turning a page and starting fresh. This coupled with the start of spring is the perfect time to set new intentions for yourself. Be bold, dream as big as you dare, and set clear focused intentions that you are ready to take action on with confidence and without fear.
I am a huge advocate for journalling and this is a perfect practice to help you gain some inner insight to become really clear on the intentions you would like to manifest in the coming weeks. Write down one to three things you want to take action on this season. Then think and ask yourself: ‘What is one step I can take today to move forward on this?’. Once your intentions are clear, you could take that question a step further and develop an action plan for each week of Aries season outlining what you would like to accomplish each week and the steps to help you hit those goals.
Now remember to not get stuck in the planning stage however. We can plan all day but that won’t actually get us to the end goal. Taking inspired action will. We must commit to move on from the planning stage to the action stage. Remember to invoke that fiery energy and be bold and brave on your path forward.
2. Move Your Body & Activate Your Fire Energy Within
Aries is a sign connected to physical movement, meaning this is a great time to get your body moving. Whether it’s hitting the gym for a strength training session, doing yoga, or going for a hike—movement helps release stagnation and aligns you with this dynamic energy.
If implementing a new movement or fitness routine has been on your to do list then the energy we have in the air right now is calling you to step up! Get those internal energies that may have become blocked and slow throughout the winter months moving freely again.
Magical tips for an extra push to be consistent with this practice if that Aries season energy isn’t quite enough:
- wear carnelian, sunstone, tiger’s eye or citrine for motivation, energy, and confidence
- drink teas with motivating energies such as ginger, lemon balm, or basil
- wear power colours such as purple, red, or black
- visualize yourself as someone who gets movement in on the daily
- start your day with positive motivating intentions
- place motivational items on your altar space
3. Connect with the Fire Element
A wonderful way to tap into Aries season energy is to connect with the fire element in your daily life. We already do this in lots of different ways so simply becoming aware of these moments and being mindful of them will greatly strengthen your connection to this element. Some ways we do this and you probably don’t even notice; when we are exercising (pairs well with our last tip!), when we drink coffee, sitting in the sun, lighting a candle, performing a little kitchen witchery, work on your heart energy centre, or wear colours of red, orange, yellow or gold.
Candle rituals are a fantastic and intentional way to connect with this element and it doesn’t need to be complicated. You can simply, light a candle, set an intention, and then visualize the flame cleansing away any doubts or fears that might hold you back or meditate on the flame with your intentions in mind.
You could also do a burning ritual which as so popular right now. This idea has become so mainstream that even non-witchy creators are recommending it. This can be a very powerful act for releasing fears and limited beliefs. Write down a fear or limiting belief on a piece of paper, then (safely) burn it in your cauldron or fireproof bowl. As the paper turns to ash, imagine yourself releasing that limitation and stepping fully into your power.
4. Embrace Confidence & Show up Authentically
Aries season is so much about stepping into your power and being authentically you. Own your voice and step into your confidence. Now is the time to express yourself, share your truth, or launch that new project free from any self doubt. Some excellent magical practices to help you do this include:
- Reciting affirmations to yourself in the mirror to connect with and build your inner confidence, recite things like ‘I am bold, confident, and fearless‘ or ‘I trust myself and my ability to create the life I desire’. Words have power, words are spells—so let’s use them for good and to align with this fearless energy!
- Wear crystals such as tiger’s eye, rose quartz, red jasper, or carnelian
- Use herbs such as thyme, rosemary, mint, or ginger while you are cooking
- Try some glamour magic, you could place a blessing or enchantment on your mirror for confidence or into your skincare products, you could also craft an herb sachet or crystal pouch for confidence.
- Don’t forget to speak kindly to yourself. When you notice yourself falling into negative self talk, turn that right around into something positive. The more we catch ourselves doing this, the easier it will be to release those kinds of thoughts that definitely do not serve you.
5. Get Outside Your Comfort Zone
So we all love our confort zones where it’s warm and cozy. I am actually terrible at getting outside of my comfort zone. Can I blame being a Taurus? Lol, but seriously, it’s very difficult for me. I know though that when I do this the benefits outweigh that initial discomfort.
And Aries season is all about bold action remember—so this is the perfect time to challenge yourself by doing something that pushes you a little or a lot outside of that comfort zone that I know you love.
It could mean speaking up in a work meeting when you would normally stay quiet, starting a new hobby that scares you a little like that taking a dance or fitness class, or finally launching that creative project you’ve been putting off, or apply to public speak at an event.
I am going to talk about journalling one more time because it can be an incredible tool for figuring out our fears and triggers and moving past them.
Take a few minutes and journal about one thing you’ve been hesitant to do because of fear, doubt, or overthinking. Think about why you’ve been scared and what has been holding you back. Do you have a specific trigger for this fear that you can make peace with and release? Then write about how your life would change if you just did the thing. How would it improve? How would you show up knowing you were brave enough to just take that action step you had been scared about? Now, set a focused intention to move forward on this within a set amount of time.
Don’t think too long on this or give yourself some indefinite time frame to start though. Take action before you are able to talk yourself out of it. And like I mentioned above, don’t get stuck in the planning stage, as fun as it can be. Aries season energy rewards courage—so trust yourself, take the first step, and watch how the universe responds. It will most likely surprise you in the most wonderful and possibly weird ways!
Final Thoughts
This season really wants us to remember that we are powerful, capable, and worthy of pursuing our dreams. So connect with your inner fire and magic, take bold action, trust in the universe and divine timing, and trust in your ability to create anything you can dream of.
Also, keep in mind to stay grounded and find balance this season. Don’t get too caught and over do it. Take time for rest and magical self-care as well!
I hope this post gave you some inspiration for moving through the season, reaching some goals you set for yourself, and stepping a little bit closer to your dream life and most magical version of yourself.
