The future never arrives, but it doesn’t abandon us completely. Motion. Motion! All motion is a kind of falling into the unknown. All motion leans toward an idea that is unsecured. You are trusting a trajectory that hasn’t proven itself yet. You are moving toward a state that hasn’t solidified. All this risk, this hope. It’s beautiful. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Instead of exhausting yourself trying to create something brand-new from scratch, do what’s already known to work.

You are joy and sorrow. Confidence and fear. Logic and chaos. No need to simplify yourself to be consistent or to be acceptable. Live in the tension of the “coincidentia oppositorum.” Be kind and angry; strong and needy. You can be confident and uncertain. You don’t have to exile one side to keep the other. The contradictions are not a flaw; it’s the nature of being whole. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Distinguish between real and imagined problems so you can handle them correctly.

Between the lunacy of the lunar aspects and the heavy tension hanging on the Jupiter-Neptune square, we need the kindness that compounds.

This reality is one of contrast. We know we are awake because we’ve been asleep. We know we are attracted because we’ve been repelled. We know vitality because we’ve also known exhaustion. The Mars transit through Virgo will emphasize integration in the name of health. Our power grows when we accept both sides of life’s contrasts. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Socializing can be an art form, and it’s one you’re intent on elevating today. You’ll put thought into your interactions.

Yesterday brought tension. Today brings trines. A brief, intentional reflection is called for. Look back, not to dwell but to gather insight. Remember how you’ve navigated problems similar to the ones that come up today. Recall what you’ve learned and how far you’ve come. And trust that your best decisions, growth and experiences are still ahead of you. ARIES (March 21-April 19). If someone only pays attention when they want something from you, this describes a dynamic of opportunism.
