How Art Thou Aries?
Ramzillas arise. T’is time to claim your rightful kingdom. Mars in your sign nearing iconoclastic Uranus is quite enough but you have also Athena (for wisdom) the Feline deities of Bast (Cat Goddess) and Sekhmet (Lion Goddess) + asteroid Magdalena AND Hygeia, the Ancient Roman Goddess of Good Health. Plus in a few days time, the Sun + Venus join the throng AND you get to star in the Zap Zone prequel that is late March…
So Aries, how are you feeling with all this?
You’re probably either charging about punching the air, scheming how to transcend time and space so as to get it all done OR freaking out, wishing you could put the cork back in the bottle and spend just a day in suspended animation or in bed even. But now…Mars in Aries is a relentless taskmaster. There will be progress, action and measurable results. Anyone dumb enough to want to fuq with your Awesome should get out of your blast zone.
Aries Peeps, keep a grip, read your Scopes for more info re how to channel this rare super-humanity energy and share here where you’re at with it all.
Got a call from the school nurse that my Aries daughter had a scratch on her face. She has a red birth mark on her cheek that people say looks like a cat scratch. Apparently, it itched and she scratched it until it bled. I consider it an omen of pure Aries-ness.
Interesting.. I would agree!
Ouch! Hope your daughter is okay but yes it sounds tres Aries
She’s OK, but it is bleeding again today . I google-researched it, and I think it may be falling off. So uber-Aries to me – shedding a facial scar.
So does this relate to people who have their DC in Aries, 6th and 7th house?
Aries is in the 6th and 7th house. My Career is running on a treadmill right now.. MUCH better than a couple of days ago. I felt empowered and took charge.. maybe my attitude changed everything. Things are good! Health is a little sluggish BUT tonight I got my butt out on the street and walked.. I need to put up a calendar to see my progress. Printing as self made calendar now.
Feeling pleasantly happy! It’s good to feel this way again! Still wondering what might be around the corner with March 26, 27 and 28th coming up.. and the echo of the Zap Zone.. ugh! Stay Focused!
xo!!
Aries also in 6th house – work is super-powered.
I’m the same. Aries DC at 19 Pisces so Mars is still in 6th house at the moment. I’m punching keyboards and throwing things. I guess my aggro is being triggered rather than any ‘work’ in my work zone.
Equil.. I had that going on at the beginning of the week. I woke up and realized that it is in my power to be a warrior. Hopefully things will calm down for ya!!
I have Aries sixth house too… And work in health and service …. Work has been amped for months had first public speaking work thing this week… But its the weekend and I can say I couldn’t give a crap about work but am so deeply involved in my own time… Maes in Aries this time is getting me amped about learning to jog! its in the breathing…. I’m also amped about my garden and growing, I’m building a trellis structure this weekend and digging and moisturising the soil…. So much fun!
Hi Freedom.. I am “TRYING” to get into jogging. I haven’t been exercising like I use to in over 2 years.. so I am walking a little bit, well, I started again this week. I feel like a rush energy stored within that I need to get out and running would be the best. I just don’t want to start something that my body is not use to. Even though I was such an avid workoutaholic. I still worry that I might be pushing myself too hard if I just picked my butt up and started running. Still working this out, I have my own blank calender up on a vision board that I can mark and I hope I continue with this momentum.
You sound very busy but with a much needed desire for your own time to balance the work efforts you are putting in. Good luck and keep us posted!!
xo!!
Ummm.. as I said below I am having senior moments! I am getting my hair done this w/e! Going to a beauty academy to have a friend’s daughter cut and highlight my hair. I hope to be going “pretty” this w/e! I need something so hopefully this is in line with an Aries feel! I would think Leo but there isn’t anything hovering over there.
I feel like my chart should fall over with all of the planets hanging in the Aries sector! LOL!!
Going green this w/e! Happy St. Pat’s Day!
xo!!
Aries sector (crossout Aries replace with Pisces).
My Aries Mars is super fucking keen for all this.
Time to shine
I was very lazy on the last month but now I’m beginning to feel like myself again and finishing all my projects
I feel like I am getting back into play too!! I hope!!
me three
I’m glad I’m not the only one who decided that February was the time to take a mini-break from motivation. That said, I’m getting busier and more productive, but I’m not necessarily feeling awesome yet!
Me too Aqua.. However, I have been having major senior moments and I am getting my hair done tomorrow at a beauty academy. A friends daughter is doing it!!! Yikes… Going pretty this w/e!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!! Hot pink bikini, hot pink lipstick, hot pink nails. Soon to be smoking hot body…. By the end of Aries season.
I’m off roster at work, so not working like a hardcore superstar. Just lounging, will do some beaching… But off to get a very Taurean massage. FUQ YEAH!!!
Actually, question for the Feng Shui and Astro masters…. I was told not to wear red by a Feng Shui specialist… Something to do with my birth number. But I’m and Aries moon!?! How to reconcile?
red is epic for aries anything- there is a whole post on this!
http://mysticmedusa.com/2009/12/astro-beauty-can-only-arieans-wear-red/
Oooh it’s the massage moon isn’t it? I must be in tune with the astro, or else my subconscious is taking control – just left a message to get one today, I’m pretty broke but it’s a necessary investment in good mental health I think. Hmmm even thinking about it is lowering my stress levels…
What a fabulous idea.
I will get a massage today.
Woke up with a lump in my throat re: tonsilitis.
Usually happens when I’ve been doing some naughty shenanigans. Future Music anyone?
Feel like ass.
But SUPER powered and eager to smash everything that comes my way. (Aries Sun) I’m feeling the ZING and it feels great. Mars in Pisces, Gawd what a slog.
OMG! I noticed a trend last October (with 20yr old Ferrari… 0-100 in five seconds flat… Not in a good way)… Anyway! I got tonsillitis with any new hook up that ends up being a dud! The keepers never seem to give me a throat infection. Mind you… Haven’t managed to keep any of those so called “keepers”.
Aries Sun and Venus. I’ve been nuts for the pink! Never cared for it before but now, can’t get enough. I still have that kind of “walking dead” commando look unless I try very hard to look coifed and girly. I like both looks! Mostly things are going good. I felt bound this winter. Heavy coats and sweaters just added to it. Now, UNBOUND and LOUD. I’m just WAAAAAAA stomping all bold and pink through doors that can’t keep me out anymore.
I have size fittings on ACTUAL babies and toddlers over 26th and 27th……what am I in for????
Love children! Could be totally fun???
well I’m not air-punching just yet, but the chinese herbs seem to have stopped the bleeding after 3 months.YAAAAY!! Not at full energy levels cos probably still really anaemic, but I can feel things are gonna get better…
actually, just remembered part of a dream this morning where i rediscovered a magical old form of transport (that i used to use and had put away for some time), it was like a minimal, sled -frame made of wooden saplings, and i merely to sit in it,and to ignite the left hand-corner with a small strong flame, and whooosh!! off I went, into the air and zinging around corners again…good feeling
Aries sun, venus, merc, eris, POF
Awesome, glad things are on the up, Chinese medicine is magical.
thanks for the timely advice, Charley xx
I just learned that natal Lilith is in Aries for me. What does that mean?
And jupiter, but I can handle that big oaf.
you may get more of an idea of their meaning for your chart by which house they are in
Great suggestion. Aries rules my 6th/7th house cusp. I’m a little nervous for the transit to Uranus in my 6th house, and transit to Jupiter in the 7th should be fun.
My mother is Jupiter arise Virgo mars, so much she can fit into a day. Gets things done. Faith in life is big and do.
Last night I had a big revelation and I’m sticking with it!
I had an unhealthy addiction to Facebook. Always constantly checking it. There’s never anything on there that actually entertains me and I started to resent people because they all seem like idiots what with their status updates etc. Gah, Lame. Loosing interests in humanity.
ANYWAY. Started talking to a few guys on there very cute. very nice.
But it was ALL communication via technology in some form or another. No actual phone calls *gasps* who does that. Let alone meeting up with anybody. What a waste of my presh time seriously.
So last night in a rampage I deleted my facebook. Never activating that stuff again what a buzz kill and waste of time.
I sms’ed everybody taht they are to CALL or LEAVE A VOICE MAIL in future. I’ve disabled incoming texts.
I’m not being dramatic. I literally wake up to 12 messages.
Don’t we all have unlimited calls these days (well most)
How nice would it be to take communication back to what is was before all the social media hoo haa.
Well that’s exactly what I’m doing!
I find social media and all this texting has made people more afraid to have ACTUAL contact and a real conversation where voices are used and INSTANTANEOUS responses are made. e.g conversation.
Brave move, AriesAqua. Kudos to you.
Ta Mitra! x
Sun in the third. This revelation is soothing for the soul too.
I was JUST thinking about this today, too, that social media has made us less…social. I live in tech industry ground zero, so it’s bad here where it’s all via the computer and texting and everyone is afraid of actually getting together!
I feel like it’s even ruining friendships I had from way before the advent of cell phones, texting and the internet.
Kudos to you and your pro-active (Aries!) act of deleting facebook!
It’s meant to. It’s bullshit. I feel like I’m constantly being tracked. Plus, so much fake life stuff dubbed promo, headache
I agree about having in person contact and getting rid of Facebook. However, I find the immediacy of phone calls intrusive. I schedule them. I got rid of my phone and computer and communicate through my tablet. It’s a tool I use to facilitate my in person socializing. That’s how I see it. I applaud your taking a stand.
On a positive note – I choose to use social media to promote positivity and stimulate thinking. There are so many amazing things to learn about and share. I have made fb friends around the world who I have never met but we share a vibe, an outlook and a commitment to the greater good. I don’t chat with them but we note when posts are being generated and share them when they resonate. Some are Buddhists, some are environmental activists. It’s creating a sense of community and it’s truly empowering. I frequently get fb friend people who only know me tangentially (having met in the real world during travels/work) who get back to me with messages of appreciation for the posts.
Social media is also a fantastic way of sharing information that the mainstream media ignores – whether it’s worrisome stuff (like the corporations pushing for even greater dominance) or whether it’s positive – individuals and communities doing wondrous stuff (and there’s plenty of that!!). My facebook feed is so interesting and stimulating it’s a source of nourishment. Having said that, I do regulate how much time I spend on it and I don’t do much messaging unless it’s purposeful – with mindfulness .
Harness the planetary/universal energy available to you. Harness your energy and channel it to what makes you feel good. Have faith in yourself and allow your intuition to guide you to what is right. Any technology is just a medium – human beings are born to communicate. Just be mindful about whether it’s for your higher good. Face to face is fabulous too. It’s all good
Ugh, Aries. Cannot stand the energy. All brawn, no brain, no soul. I have nothing to say until everything’s moved along into Taurus — even though everything in my life is demanding decisions that I do not have enough information to make.
was debating with myself whether to bother replying to this comment, as you are of course entitled to your opinion, and, bottom line I (as an Aries) don’t actually give a rats ass WHAT you think.
But I do think you are totally missing the point if you think Aries energy has no soul…there are a lot of evolved, courageous Aries people out there who use their brawn, and brain to make a difference in the world…
I have to be honest. I’m not really a fan of Aries energy either. I wouldn’t say that it’s all brawn and no brain but it does feel very aggressive / impulsive to me and I’m not a fan of that.
I’m plenty cardinal as is so I don’t really need the extra kick in the pants to get ish done and it’s my observation that during Aries season people tend to be massive jack holes–just argumentative for seemingly no reason and everyone has a manifesto or vendetta.
I have a lot of air and water placements but very little fire so fire transits just tend to square the eff out of me and I have yet to enjoy the brilliance of squares. Just find them annoying. Much prefer the opposition.
Of all the fire sign energies, I have to say Aries is my least favorite, then Sag, and I rather like Leo.
Hooray for everyone who can swing it, but I second wanting things to be more Taurean.
Well you’ll just have to wait
won’t you, while we enjoy our time
Goes without saying …
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions…
Obviously they’re are some people who can’t stand the energy of a particular element.
I love AND hate taurean energy.
The calmness, yes. Devine. Eloquent, Sensual.. big beautiful cow eyes. Lot’s to love. Same with Libra.. just beautiful. Charming and socially adept.
BUT. OH MY GOD MOTHER OF MARY are they hideous with decision making and the act of avoiding conflict.
Such a pain in my effing ass! And not sticking up for themselves enough, ugh x 2.
But I love them.
And I hate them.
Taurus makes me indolent and then I hate myself. You could ask some Aries peeps what decisions they would make in your situation. They are usually great at coming to a conclusion with no information. They often have good suggestions because they see unseen things.
I am a Taurus with too much Aries going on in my chart so yes it’s a love-hate deal everyday. Usually a decision gets made once the straw has broken my back so to speak. It’s a life of conflicting desires but I’ve done pretty well to marry these two very stubborn aspects of myself. I get indolent too but not for long fortunately as Aries cant stand being inconsequential!
y’know, yeah she’s been in aries for our whole lifetimes, and will be for the duration, but if you leave eris out of that nice little goddess list, she’s bound to get a bit pissed… throw an apple or two…
Relatively new to the more in-depth astro stuff, but as Cancer Sun / Aries Rising, I’m feeling more of a pull to the Aries side of things in the last few weeks. Drawn to red regardless of Sun or Rising sign relevance, have started yoga at age 44 plus massage & cranio sacral therapy featured this week too.
Feeling quite empowered!
Well, Mars and Uranus are about to come upon my natal Saturn at 8 degrees Aries. Now THAT should be interesting! I hope I can deal with it…bit wary!
I also have NN at 22 degrees Aries, but they won’t transit there for awhile..
This is all happening in my 10th house. I’ve been more in-demand in my career, but no more money than before and even may get laid off in June…it’s kind of like a ‘WTF?’ scenario…I need to get more information from my bosses about this before I worry too much. I’m not going to sweat it, just keep working hard and looking for some other opportunities too. MM said a few blogs back that ‘when reality bites, bite back!’ That’s what intend to do, if needed.
On another note, transiting Uranus and Mars in Aries are squaring my natal Venus in Cap, so that should bring up some weird and possibly difficult stuff in romance, too? I haven’t had any dates or romance in years, but am starting to get curious again. I signed up for an online dating site, but don’t know if I could really go through with meeting these guys. I don’t really care for online dating.
Also, had a now-rarely-occurring pull to check something out in my odd astral-plane love-zombie thingie that’s been going on for years but which has pretty much gone away now. Just out of curiosity (after reading MM’s recent name change blog) I looked at the numerology between me-n’-him and it was given nearly 100% compatibility, but that’s with my new legal name…so what was more of interest to me in this, rather than the mega-compatibility which doesn’t bait me anymore since I don’t think this thing is ever gonna happen, was that it gave me this insight into why I may have subconsciously/psychically changed my name, because I hadn’t checked into or even thought about any numerology about my new name whatsoever before doing it. ..sorry if none of that made much sense, I just found it kind of an odd coincidence.
Ayo! Tired of using Technology!
Yep, Facebook is so on the decline.
Good luck with the online dating!!!
Hey Flowerchild, thought I would pass on the experience of a good friend of mine who has been doing the online dating thing for a few months and she has had very positive experiences with it. She has a sane policy of good boundaries, honesty and all that, and it’s working for her. Mostly she has met incredibly decent guys, honest, a bit battle scarred and feeling their way, just as she is. Yes a couple of fuqtards but that’s just like real life, yes? I say do it – treat it as an experiment, meet one guy for a coffee and see how you feel! Good luck xx
Thanks for the vote of encouragement, Chrysalis and WOOHOO!
My interest in the dating site is flagging, but we’ll see…yeah, there’s no harm in trying it out!
I still don’t know what to do with my natal Venus in its detriment in Aries.
Consider culturally deconstructing the ancient meaning of “detriment” and rework it into something modern and decadent
Shazaam! I share natal V in A. Let’s get decadent together Charles, turn that detriment into a benefit
My progressive venus is in Aries…
And i’ve been single now for a long time!
Dude, are you serious?! Get outside! Hiking, running, anything adrenalin-related, working out, motor sports, have push-up competitions, compete to win, flirt with GI Jane types, love and create passionately, be independent, fight for your right… Be free, have only excellent egalitarian friends who run on a merit system not politics, don’t play games, etc.
totally agree with you Pi. The energy is pretty uncomplicated. Just reach out and get some for yourself. It’d be silly not to. I am so in love with one of the pros in my fitness DVDs. haha.
lol. Yes thinking of the ways that I love / relate / derive pleasure from things (based on my presumably Venusian in Aries experiences), here are some other elements that came to mind.. Being super independent, having a ‘partner in crime’, friends & lovers who are up for adventures, outspoken types – yet not dictators in the making, rebellious artistic expression (although maybe that’s Uranus in my 5th), being the first to do things or being seen as a “unique individual” I guess – yes yes I know… “we’re all individuals!!” lol, being inspired by people who have fought to get where they are, self-made types, people who fought the odds and won, who proved others SO wrong, who went and did it anyway, making new breakthroughs and discoveries that improve the world in some way (not poison it or make someone rich at the expense of others etc)…. these kinds of things..
I love this, and a lot of what you write btw. Very true and poetically well written. I most certainly seem to find people very different from all scopes of life, very creative, and unique in their skill sets to be awesomely individual. My Uranus in 7th might have something to do with that but usually if I have a relationship it becomes a disaster. Like the adventuring and gamesmanship gets out of hand and it just fizzles. Really sad because it’s very tough to find a “partner in crime” like you said. That’s my piscean eros wish, is to have someone just as crazy and dynamic to play the game with. thanks for responding.
Pi’s comments below are spot on, Charles. I know several people with Venus in Aries and they are FAB. Strong, take no crap from nobody-no-way-no-how, no game playing, loyal, demand absolutely the best treatment from their partners, or else. Not surprisingly, they have quality relationships as a consequence. Interestingly, although these people are not connected in any way, they all have an involvement with martial arts.
*Pi’s comments above, not below. I am prepositionally challenged
Tranisinting Mrs is aspecting from the 5th house =

Sorry…cant do any more , flat out
manifesting ethical business empire,
making film,
tarting small buiness course Monday ,
finishing off article, historical angle, on why the Australian government doesnt think twice about throwing single mothers and their kids into poverty (while Merc still retro),
painting bathroom
spontaneoulsy detoxing (OMG you should see the rashes/mucus..sorry TMI)
gearing up for the Blues and Roots Festival next weekend ..should be a cracker ; )
that hould be ‘starting’, but Im comfortable with tarting if everyone else is.
It’s actually been epic since Mars came in. The return-to-self couldn’t have come at a better time yet I’m serenely Zen too, which is a step change I seem to have gone through of late – there’s no rattling my cage anymore it appears, I just shrug things off.
I have been tracking Sekhmet’s transits over my Aries stellium and it has been totally wild. When she was at 16 Aries exact on my Merc, the AC was exact on my Sun. Just this morning when she was exact on my mars, the AC and the Moon were both exact on my Sun. Tomorrow when she is exact trine my Leo Vesta, the part of fortune is exact on my Leo Vesta. When she reaches my natal Sun it is just too much: Mars at 4 aries which is my pholus/bast AND opp Saturn; Ur is exact trine my north node, athena exact on my natal Mars, Ceres exact on my Psyche…. I AM BEING ACTIVATED and all Mystic’s horos are like “DON’T DO ANYTHING YET” but here is a short list of what I’ve got going on before the end of March:
-continuing work on compiling, typing, and editing over 200,000 words of journaling into a cohesive memoir
-continuing to write for the website that I link to here with my name, as well as my own personal astro blog
-I am starting a FB page on Spring Equinox called Learning Astrology with Planetary Clarity- will be mostly external links but I will do charts of aspects for each signs ruler as the sun goes through each sign… (during virgo and libra I will do charts of the main asteroids)
-And probably most exciting/terrifying, I was tapped as an astro consult for a new metaphysical/paranormal TV show, specifically for an episode about a recent seance where Elizabeth Short was contacted (aka the Black Dahlia) and they were so impressed with my charts that they want me to do an on-screen interview for the episode and I am shitting bricks!!!
-upgrading my kettlebell to 30 pounds and getting a new running thing going again… (hard to believe less than six months ago I was a functioning anorexic…)
-also I am going on a 2,200 mile total road trip BEFORE the full Moon (thanks mystic lol)
-and upon getting home, planting a 16×40-foot vegetable garden (three times as much space for flowers/lavender/grapevine, AND greenhouse strawberries)
-AND planning my/my daughter’s birthday extravaganza mid-April while caring for senile grandparents and said Ramzilla toddler.
-OH. AND. my fuqing darling elusive Libran/mega-Aqua hunky doorstop has insinuated he will re-surface/re-appear around the vicinity of March 23rd.
there is more but that is the main stuff.
Awesome! I don’t know what Sekhmet’s doing but my cat just sat on my chest.
My progressed Sun is in Aries, so that’s like being an honorary Ramzilla yes?
“who feels it, knows it”
Hehehe
From only my personal pov, I’d declare progressed suns working just fine.
yes the glories of aries/ i have it rising
those horns that ram into things
lacking the grace of its o p p osite sign libra
also broad shoulders and being not able to wait
having a loner aura…
i can not wait for this f*ing mercury retro to ends so
i can escape stagnancy
i will i will
My Aries Rising is totally loving this energy!! Also feeling wired and restless as Uranus approaches.. Started wearing sports bras full-time a couple weeks ago because it’s just way more practical (easier to wash, too!) and I am on the move!!
Totally get this. I am in love with my sorts bras at the moment
What ~sorts~ a bra we talkin’ about
All I know is my,
Aries Sun
Aries Mercury
Aries Venus……. all in the first house
followed up by pisces rising, has me more than ready for? Something. Anything…..anything other than those last few years. Farking exhausting on all fronts.
Do Aries tell how they are feeling?
They tell you when they are feeling tip top fuqing awesome!
Stunning art M.
foretelling some contemporary Australian Aboriginal work these days.
Reminds me of this wax media painting my Piscean sisters and I pooled together for our Mum’s 50th..about a 100 candle flames on a dark background..there was no conscious astro intention at the time but she’s a very fiery Sagg..
This Aries action is a bit like a Solar flare.
Brilliant!
I just have it ruling the ninth with my Part of fortune. From what Ive found, ive been fortunate moving, and It was one of the first places I realized how having an “empty house” was not empty at all. Because I rarely move locally with pluto in the 3rd without thinking about it deeply. But when it comes to travel (9th House) Ive been to Moscow, Amsterdam, Zurich,Caracas, and all over the US. Some people asked me why I would go to Caracas as its a dangerous place, I stated (Why not) that is very (Aries). You can learn something from every place is very (Aquarian).
I wish I would do that with my survival, but I have an Aquarian conscience, and here in the states It really doesn’t allow for just basing that on the backs of others unfairly. Hence my minor involvement with anything that unfairly makes myself, or anyone else more money without real proo of where/how its going.
Aries ASC here, still recovering from Uranus messing with it for the last couple of years, really sucked it out of me for some reason. Uranian energy isn’t my happy place. Been a bit grouchy since Mars went into Aries, I’ve had a 7 planet pile up in my 12th house, perhaps it’s just a jolt back into reality. Feel like I’ve got the engine revving again but I’m still kind of stuck in the mud somewhat and I have to do something kind of brave/stupid in my love life and that’s making me antsy as anything!! Generally though I love the Aries time of year, I’m looking forward to using it to make some progress.
Another Aries AC! So is Pluto transiting your 10th house, too?? It’s just been an uphill career slog for me over the past couple years…
Me too, but is at least going uphill
Hasn’t always been thus.
Oh yes, I think I hit the do or die phase of Pluto there and just died though. Have you had it Sq your ASC too? Man oh man oh man that was fun.
dude I hear ya, I’ve had a similiar conundrum in 12th, but somehow got the ‘message’ to evolve from the slime, to spend the the last month aggressively fabbing my work and fitness sectors…so instinct tells me those were required cosmic prerequisites I needed to pass in order to enter the dating arena again. which with saturn retro in my 7th house progress has been excrutiatingly slow. But, like you , the tinge of anxiousness is from the radiation emmitting from merc about to go direct to direct plus all the aries ‘the quickening’ buzz.
Charley, I’m in a similar position, though with an Aqua sun, I like Uranian energy.
I have heaps to do, moving cities, major new job, university, but can’t seek to get the motor humming. Even with Mars on my natal and approaching my Aries A/c. When Mars was in Aqua, I was a rockstar. Wouldn’t even make a Singstar quarter final today. The energy at the moment is rather heavy and nebulous.
That’s the prob isn’t it, you have to harness whatever energy is around at the time and get the most out of it
This time of year becomes my 10th house season and trine my fire. Purr.
I’m actually afraid. I have realised I have an actual real life problem w alcohol . Im Aries scorpio rise Virgo moon. I have been waiting for can do stars to help me, but I’ve felt all Di intensely I have almost lapsed? I felt awesome This arvo, then blah ?
it’s a big realisation, you will need some support with this,and and also start to consider what you may be really feeling before you cover it up with drinking? Saturn on your rising, the pressure to address this prob won’t go away…take it easy
Congratulations on your awareness and courage, Anonymous. This will be HARD. I’ve had a ringside seat at someone’s very hard battles with booze so if I may offer some insight: please don’t wait for the stars to ‘help’ you. And please don’t do it alone. Please seek help of a support group and/or a counsellor, people who know the road. It gets worse before it gets better because if you’ve been using alcohol to mask bad feelings, they will announce themselves and demand to be dealt with. You need support, non-judgement, practical help. All astro conditions will support you taking actions in your own best interests. Strength and blessings to you on this journey xx
Yes, you need to be around others who understand you and will not judge you and want to help! When I first started going to meetings for my struggles with Adderall (fueled by anxiety) I was ashamed, and quiet, and felt like I was different than everyone else or noticeably awkward. After a month or so things really started to change for me inside and out and I felt silly for thinking those things before.
It feels so good just to know you are not alone…and that you are not a bad person, just a sick one. Even if you don’t talk to anyone and just listen I promise you will leave feeling empowered and inspired. I’m not perfect — I just popped a pill the other day after 28 days sober — but knowing I have a place to go back to when I trip up keeps me focused on the future instead of dwelling on the past! And dwelling on the past is what typically drives people to use in the first place.
I don’t know you but anyone who has the courage to get honest with themselves even when the truth is ugly is a hero in my eyes.
Well Anonymous i am now a proud member of AA and Mystic said it was all linked to the Zap Zone so these are the stars right now. I personally love AA and it is normal to feel fantastic when you first stop and then horrible because you have to face all the emotions that you would usually drink or drug away. That is so confronting. Also, like i said before in another comment, if you stop drinking you will find you are in very good company. Also read Jill Starks High Sobriety book, it is brilliant.
That is fantastic guys…And TLS..I’d rather be a member of High Sobriety than High Society anyday…x
~So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober~
Thesselonians 5:6
Meant in more than one way of course
Don’t need to be alcohol drunk to be asleep..Many are drunk on illusion of many kinds too numerous to count here…
Aw, as for Aries me, still cleansing inner thru meditation and getting rid of inner stickyness thru mucus…(head and chest flu)..
Trans Uranus and Mars on my Mercury 10th trine natal Jupiter 6th and so more clear (thru healing in more ways than one as well), than I’ve ever been in my life. ..
Funny how feeling like shit comes with that pkg a bit but to give my grieving mortal self some comfort got a huge frozen yogurt yesterday (had never had one since I moved to the desert 7 yrs ago), with various toppings…
“You are blessed and lucky…it’s true”…still listening to 10,000 Maniacs These Are Days….
Nope, just can’t hold that Aries optimism down at all. I don’t care the circumstances..they’re all meant to be overcome in the end which is just the beginning…
Kapeesh?
xo
Yes, as a super ram (5 planets 1st house), should be super dooper doo… but kinda up-down…. not sure where I am…. felt FABULOUS on the weekend on an angel-dust bender…. but spent Wednesday in bed all day watching Girls (HBO)… up… down…. won a public art commission….fought with partner….up…down…
Finally! I’ve got Mars in Aries so I’ve finally got some energy. I’m liking this so much better than Mars in Pisces.
Wow, see this is why I love astrology. Uranus, a big planet of electrical change, with Magdalena – asteroid 318 hovering around. Kind of fuqing cool. And 318 happens to reduce to 3 in numerology, the trinity. I’m not much into dogma, but it is a bit fascinating that all these objects are coinciding with the nomination of a new pope, who takes the name of Francis, a very traditional and humble guy, then makes St. Mary’s his first destination and to pray.
Aries 1st house.

Better run run run run run, run run run awaaaay
mars now in aries…..
diverse pleasures,
fruitless chase
ultimate thrill
damage you.
Joy is tranquil, not mad rushing,
Awesome rallying cry, thank you
Well it’s VERY odd but I reckon I am channelling Aries right now. Pretty much since Mars got into Aries I have been getting my ‘fuq u’ on and standing up for myself in all kinds of new ways. It may also have something to do with a ‘line in the sand’ moment with the soon-to-be-ex. Guess what? It’s paying off! I asked for top money to do a short contract, and they said yes; I have let go all my remaining wifey jobs and am outsourcing them at the STBX’s expense; in a variety of situs I am calmly stating what is ok for me and what isn’t. I must have been such a pushover in the past, because some people are visibly shocked.
good work chrysalis. xox
I absolutely cannot have anyone intruding on my dead-on intuition and tell me what to do. I can’t even tell me what to do by attempting to schedule or plan anything. It all feels wrong to attempt to constrict or restrict my laser focus on Do This, and It Will Be Right. Mostly I feel very strong and resolved.
so um… what is the city of Perth like,personality wise…the people? Comparable to any U.S. city?
I’m nosy because Ive been talking to an Aqua from there, an engineer type, but seems a bit too young for me, but a real QT nonetheless.
ok to visit but you wouldn’t want to live there. Lol.
Not as exciting as Sydney.
so it’s a boring place? like not urban and not a lot of culture? or something else?
it has all that but confined to a small area. You have to like wide open spaces.
Chrysalis’ summation is pretty accurate.
I’ve never lived there. So my impressions are only from a visitors point of view.
I live there
See my grav? That’s a beach nearby.
I tried to leave many times but connections pulled me back. Lots of people will no doubt diss it and so I feel compelled to defend it, lol
Like all places, it has good and bad. There is a small but cool music and arts scene. Finally there are decent inner city bars. The air is clean, the beaches sublime. Organic food is easy to buy. Coffee, restaurant meals and houses are stupidly overpriced. People argue over when shops should open and it is infuriatingly small-minded in other ways, remarkably tolerant in others.
The best and brightest people who live here tend to have a world view, either from travel or transplanting or education or some combo of the three. It’s a boom town and so has plenty of the good and bad that money brings.
Sigh. I guess I love it like I might love a slightly annoying old relative whose clothes smell of mothballs, but every time I see her she sneaks me a copy of a banned book. Hope that helps
ah thank you! that is a better description. it must be a fairly big place too. i noticed that he says it takes 2 hrs to get to work, but the isp still says it’s in perth. Perth is on my Mars line so it’s unlikely to be a thing but an enlightening change at least.
Natal Mars in Aries so looking forward to the turbo-boost. I’ve been so sleepy since I quit the ADHD meds and relapsed briefly a few days ago (popped half a pill to finish a web project)… then felt such intense shame and disappointment that I threw deleted my friend-I-get-it-from-when-I-don’t-wanna-refill-a-whole-bottle’s number for good off my computer and cell (d’oh…why didn’t I do that before?) and got right back onto hitting up meetings. It was a small setback, but I’m feeling good and moving onward. Another meeting and hot yoga tomorrow.
All this Aries stuff is also going to be trining Saturn and Uranus in Sagg just in time! Innovation and structure, ahoy. I’ve got an empire to build.
I dunno what happened today but I certainly lost my Mars mojo and had a major mope.
this aries transit is unreal! meaning, what a ride already.
i have south node in aries and it’s in the 9th house of cultures, foreign, philosophy, higher mind. so i’m expecting to go travelling and when venus, mercury, mars all bunch up around my south node i’m expecting to meet someone tres significant, i mean, its south node after all
this aries mars-uranus energy is opposing my sun and trining my ascendant. so yeah, its tweaking my appearance and pinging my inner self confidence (she says with her virgo modesty no less!!).
good times
Interesting that someone with Venus opposite Neptune (B. George), would remake this song (from Dave Berry, 1965..a Cancer)
“One day I’m going to tell the Moon about the crying game…” Boy George Moon and Mercury in Cancer 3rd…

Why am I posting this? Just cuz I heard it while on hold today on the phone and thought that I not only liked the tune but we all have a crying game of some sort…
With Sun, Mars and Jupiter in Aries I don’t even have time to respond to this post decently. Cannot believe how wired, nutso and inspiring everything is – but juggling the superb opportunities, synchronicities, wonderful peoples, challenging peoples, family commitments, multiple projects, activism, manic travel (bouncing from Arnhem Land to Darwin to Canberra to Cairns to Erub Island in the Torres Strait to Cairns to Darwin to Arnhem Land to Darwin to Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula in five weeks) and throw in feeling the need to deal with the planetary challenges facing us all …. is very, very intense. But thanks a bucket mm for keeping us informed and fore-warned and always, always encouraging
