Hello forces of Nature,
Happy happy happy Equinox!
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere we are ascending into Spring in all its refreshing glory, while our Southern Hemisphere counterparts are descending into Autumn in all its decaying mystery.
No matter where you reside on our lovely Earth though, it is officially the start of Aries season!
This marks the start of a whole new Astrological year.
You’ve made it through another Zodiac journey, congratulations!
Evolutionary Growth
Each Zodiac cycle (i.e. the journey from Aries to Pisces) unlocks new layers of self that uplevel new layers of life — it’s an evolutionary pattern guiding you to grow, yes, but really it’s life experiencing MORE of life through you.
*cue mysterious yet inspiring music*
While our Gregorian & Capricornian New Year on January 1st invites you to look up and out to consider what you want to build and work towards, this Natural & Aries-esque New Year invites you to look within and consider who you want to be this year.
Who are you?
Because a seed must become intimate with its own growth before it blooms for the bees and fruits for the critters.
Aries (and Spring) invites you to know yourself intimately so you can better direct your focus and share your energy with the world 🔥
To put this into esoterically practical context, it’s time for a MAJOR throwback.
First Breath
The Big Bang (yes I said major throwback!) sparked everything.
The Universe took its first breath. From there, it expanded (and expanded and expanded…to infinity and beyond) to experience more, and more, and more.
“Am I….?” the Universe continuously & curiously asked itself as it became many things.
“I am…” the Universe tried on in all different forms, sizes, dimensions, and feelings.
Until you took your first breath.
Your existence marked a new way for the Universe to experience itself through the unique lens of you.
The way you see the world.
The way you feel about yourself.
The way you share with the world.
The way you relate to others.
“Am I…?” you ask yourself as you grow from age to age, live experience through experience.
“I am…” you decide through every version of yourself you have been and will be.
Overcoming finality (AKA opening things up again)
You are the Universe’s curious questions pondering various answers. All to ask more questions. It’s never really about the answers anyways. Answers are too final.
Yet what I see all the time (in myself, my clients, and my loved ones) is a hyperfixation on the answers.
Wanting to know exactly what to expect. Wanting to control exactly what happens. Wanting to get what you want, when you want it.
It takes the wonder and the mystery out of it, doesn’t it?
For every decision, there’s a question of what to do.
For every level of growth, there’s a question of who to be.
For every dream, there’s a question of how to do it.
Along my own healing journey and spiritual awakening, questions have been my number one companion.
Questions equate to curiosity, and curiosity is the secret sauce to growth. Where answers close things, questions open things.
Who are you?
Gaining a greater awareness of yourself involves asking questions, many different kinds in fact. Getting clear on what you want in life and who you want to be requires SO many questions, and not all at once, you ask the questions along the way. New questions continue to emerge.
And in order to figure out what you want to do and what you want to experience, you first need to figure out who you are and who you need to become.
This is what Aries season is all about. Asking who you are over and over and over again to unlock new layers of yourself that uplevel new layers of your life.
I have a feeling if you curiously consider who you want to become, the “how” and the “what” will naturally fall into place.
So become a curious question.
And remember to ask NEW questions. Asking yourself the same old questions keeps you in a loop. Especially in this New Year, New Season, New start. New questions!
Who’s asking?
If you need a little jumpstart, here are some questions to spark self-reflection for this seasonal shift:
🌱 Who am I, really? What kind of person do I want to be this season/this year?
🌿 What parts of myself Inspire me the most? How can I nourish those parts to bloom?
🌷 What do I really want for myself? What are my deeper needs that need my attention?
🌞 What question can I continue asking myself this season to help me grow steadily & expansively?
An example of a mantra-like question: “Does this [decision/action/etc] nourish who I want to be?”
To supercharge your journey of self-discovery and unlock new versions of yourself, book a discovery call so we can get curious (and make inspired shifts) together.
How are you feeling about our shift into a new season? Which parts of this piece resonated with you? I’d love to know!
Happy Aries Season & Spring Equinox, earthlings!
Until next time…
With love,
