At Pisces, we were impregnated with a vision, a spiritual vision. Now it’s time to take ACTION! Symbol of the RAM.
Aries is the point of all beginnings. Here is the start of the process to build a personality express our place in the world. All the energies are self-centered and self-directed. Before one can give oneself away there must be something to give. Leadership, strength, charging forth to butt their heads against any obstruction in their way; such are the qualities of the undeveloped Arians. Impatient and unwilling to wait for events to mature they are apt to rush in where angels fear to tread. Arians are the pioneers of the zodiac making good executives and wonderful at getting projects started as they are the original idea people. They take the initiative and never lack courage. They are self-confident on the surface but this conceals a feeling of inadequacy on the subconscious level. Their negative aspects are arrogance, egotism, and a tendency to dominate. They should learn coordination, conservation of energy, and completion. From a universal standpoint, Aries is the first impulse of the life force into activity, the descent of the Divine Spark into manifestation. Symbolized by the Ram on the objective level in their highest aspect there is the Lamb of God. “The Lamb of God slain from the beginning of the world” is symbolic of the Spirit (the Lamb) being forced into a subordinate position when the world (the personality) takes over. When the personality makes itself the positive pole of expression the Real Self is forced to take a back seat. God’s gift to humanity is FREE WILL of love and choice. There is one catch. When we put our free will into action we must abide by the result…equal and opposite reaction. This is the Cosmic Law or the Law of Karma.
OUTLINE N/M ARIES/MARS

Aries/Mars = positive, outgoing, thrusting energy. Very masculine. The God of War. The battle in the world brings us closer to an understanding of ourselves.
Aries/Mars = gives the drive to our emotions and feelings. Fires up our enthusiasm and our passion. Quick-tempered. Gives us the power and purpose to slay our own inner demons.
Mars = this is the Animal Self = drives the ego/personality in the physical world. The energy coming from our deep inner self is not only powerful but intensely sexual energy driven by the personal unconscious to continue the instincts of species survival.
Aries/Mars = Fire sign…used for good or destruction. Can bring strife or tension.
Aries/Mars = in its primal, animal state it’s without a sense of direction – but when linked with a strong sense of purpose, it can accomplish all things.

Spring Equinox = Aries 3/20 = on the vernal equinox—the first day of spring—the days and nights are of equal length. The power of the individual (Day-force) and the power of the collective (Night-force) are equal. So why Aries is thought of as essentially individualistic, perhaps even egotistical? Because at the vernal equinox it is the Day-force of individuality which is growing stronger, for the days are getting longer. Aries represents the power of the individual ego emerging from the collective ocean. Aries must fight against the pull of that collective past in order to assert its individuality. Like a newborn child shouts to announce its arrival in the world. The full force of the God of War is employed in the battle to BE! This is why Aries is always at the beginning of things—just like a child. Everything is perpetually NEW.
CURRENT PHASE YEARLY CYCLE
New Phase March 20th= 0-3.8; 29-33; 59-62; Leo/Sun; Male emotional body; triggered by—inner & outer sight, desires and emotional memories; Root Chakra; Keys = Self-actualizer; gregarious; beginning; living life own way; initiator; impulsive; plan-less; Relates to—autonomic nervous system;
At the New phase, we are coming into our physical being. We are adjusting to physical needs and are stimulated by desire. When our desires are trigger by inner and outer sight, this stimulates our emotions connected to past experiences. Emotions then attract and shape what we want to manifest—our desires—which then connects us to our personal evolution. Passion becomes the fuel for the New phase as they fan the fires of emotion compelling action to satisfy feelings and desire. Old emotional patterns inhibit and obstruct progress which is defined by seeking something different while having a negative emotion. What is needed is to allow the Soul to command the Emotional Body
(personality) so as to prioritize what is needed for evolution at a soul level. In this phase, the survival mechanism in the brain has been instilled through the mothering nurturing experience. Our memories of sucking, feeding, cuddling are connected to body security. Body security is connected to the autonomic nervous system so our confidence and security are subject to response based on the early environmental experience. Thus a positive experience would allow for bravery, inquisitiveness, and an exploratory drive. To seek out and experience the NEW to get objectivity to understand and know ourselves. On the other hand, a negative experience of early environmental programming has the effect of leaving us timid, withdrawn, and fear of the novelty of a new experience which stunts personal evolution by seeking security first. We are learning to define ourselves by acts for attention, activities to define who we are as related back to us through objectivity by others response. Here is where we should be just having fun enjoying the moment-to-moment observing the dream.
HEALING for New Phase
The Male Emotional Body is healed by re-working and dropping old image and emotional response patterns. These patterns were developed at the beginning of life by the mother. Emotional memories are held in the muscle tissue and are released through massage work.
