April's Cosmic Forecast: Waves of Fire
Aries Season
April promises to be a month of intense transformation and movement! We are now fully in spring, emerging from the winter and embracing the astrological new year. The numerology of March is the number “4”. It is the number of responsibilities, rooting, and the building of foundations. April challenges us to step fully into our new life with confidence and assuredness! We are leaving behind the dreamy energy of Pisces season and stepping into the fire of Aries. Aries season has a gasoline effect on our inner flame! It is a cardinal fire sign, the first initial spark of creation and inspiration. The determined and forceful nature of the ram represents this zodiac sign. Aries does not give up or ever put itself last on the list! It’s time to put your needs and yourself first. Speak openly and clearly about what you want, with no room for apologies. Stay true to yourself and your desires, your needs matter most!
Aries season pop culture: If you are looking for Aries fire, think of the bigger than life energy of diva, Mariah Carey.
