Aries

The Aries season typically begins on March 21st and ends on April 19th.

Positive Traits

Positive qualities of an Aries include their boldness and assertiveness, which make them natural leaders who can inspire and motivate others. Their independent nature allows them to take charge and pursue their goals with unwavering determination. Aries’ adventurous spirit and boundless energy make them exciting and dynamic companions, always ready for new experiences. Their courage and fearlessness enable them to confront challenges head-on, making them resilient in the face of adversity.

Negative Traits

On the other hand, Aries individuals can also exhibit negative qualities. Their impulsiveness may lead to hasty decisions without considering all the consequences, potentially causing regrets later on. Their competitive nature can sometimes turn into aggression or a win-at-all-costs mindset, straining relationships and causing conflicts. Aries’ quick temper can result in outbursts of anger, although it tends to fade quickly, they need to be mindful of the impact it can have on others. Additionally, their direct and straightforward communication style, while refreshing in some situations, can come across as blunt or insensitive, unintentionally hurting others’ feelings.

Magickal Workings

Aries, a cardinal fire sign, embodies magickal themes of passion, courage, action, initiation, and leadership. Spellwork aligned with Aries focuses on boosting personal power, igniting motivation, and initiating new beginnings. Candle magick with red or orange candles can be employed to invoke passion, courage, and fiery energy. Spells that involve assertiveness, self-confidence, and overcoming obstacles align with Aries’ courageous nature. Rituals that involve physical movement, such as dance or martial arts, tap into Aries’ active energy and ignite motivation. Working with crystals like carnelian or garnet can amplify vitality and passion. Incorporating visualization techniques and affirmations into spellwork can help manifest goals and initiate new ventures. Harnessing the energy of the Spring Equinox, which falls during Aries season, can further enhance the potency of Aries magick.
