The Ram Reignites Your Passion

What does the Sun in Aries mean
for your zodiac sign?

by Emily Trinkaus

The Sun in Aries marks the Vernal Equinox -- the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Light and darkness are equal on March 20, and from that point on the days grow longer. Spring Equinox is traditionally a time to celebrate fertility and nature -- the renewal of the life force that went dormant through the winter. Spring fever strikes during the Aries season, inciting the urge to connect and create new romance.

Check out your Sun sign below and find out where the Ram is calling you to take a brave leap forward -- and what other cosmic events might encourage you to take a step back:

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Happy Birthday, Aries! The Sun in your own sign and 1st House of Self signals the start to your personal new year. Pay attention to what enlivens you and commit to making changes that free up more space for following your enthusiasm. With your ruling planet, Mars, finally turning direct again, you’ve had time to review your plan of action -- and now it's time to launch it!

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The Sun fires up your 12th House of Dreams and Imagination, inviting you to invent a new vision. Slow down your social life and spend time in solitude to tap into your inner guidance and reignite your inspiration. With Venus, your ruling planet, also firing through Aries, you'll feel a boost in how you approach love and how you approach social connections. You'll be feeling a bit impulsive, and your surprising behavior could get you noticed …

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
In your 11th House of Friends, the Sun energizes your social life. Recharge your batteries by participating in group activities and reaching out to people who inspire you. This is an auspicious time for connecting with people who can help you realize your dreams, so take advantage of any networking opportunities. With your ruling planet, chatty Mercury, spending most of this period in dreamy Pisces, you'll be able to charm up support for new ventures -- and adventures!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The Sun shines on your 10th House of Career -- an industrious time for focusing on achievement and success. Take the risk of taking courageous and concrete steps toward your professional goals: now is the time to turn dreams into reality as Mars, Aries' ruling planet, gives you the support you need by moving direct in your 2nd House of Resources

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
In your 9th House of Travel, the Aries Sun stirs up your desire to explore new destinations. This is an auspicious time for adventure in any form, whether physical or intellectual. Stepping outside your comfort zone reignites your inspiration and gives you a higher perspective on any challenges. Mars, Aries' action-loving ruling planet, is now direct in your sign, so you'll feel even more of a push ahead when it comes to personal growth.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
The Sun sets off sparks in your 8th House of Intimacy, so prepare for the flames of desire to flare! Romantic Venus will be hanging out in Aries, allowing you to absorb this influence on an even more intense level. You'll feel flirty and direct about how you feel and what you need resolved in order to get on with the passion.
