Happy (Astrological) New Year friends! Aries is the first sign of the zodiacal wheel, a true new beginning. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of our will and life force, the energy behind action, initiative, and desire. As the first sign of the zodiac and the marker of a new zodiacal year, Aries is the Cardinal Fire sign. Aries Season begins on the Spring Equinox, bringing blooming excitement and the spirit of fresh starts.
The symbol of Aries is the Ram, and it rules the head and face. This sign embodies bravery, courage, spontaneity, and vitality. The direction associated with Aries is East, a theme you can also incorporate into ritual. Read on for the full tarotscope forecast for Aries season.

The Emperor & Aries Energy
The Tarot card ruled by Aries is The Emperor. The Emperor asks us to take up space, build and move mountains, and to “know thyself.” This season encourages us to lean into our inner work from the winter and establish who we want to be moving forward. It is a time for bold action, decisive leadership, and self-mastery.
One way to honor ourselves this season is through goal setting. Where do we want to be six or twelve months from now? What does the world we wish to build look like? How can we take up more space? Aries invites us to get clear on our desires and take the first steps to make them a
reality. This is a time to advocate for ourselves and put the foundation in place for the life we want to create.
Aries Self-Care Ritual Themes
Themes for Aries season revolve around new projects, rites of passage, and the element of fire in ritual. This is a great time to refresh our skincare routines by clearing out old or unwanted products and cleansing our space for a fresh start, spring cleaning at its finest!
Morning Activation Ritual
Aries rules the head and is associated with fresh starts, begin your day with a cooling facial mist (rose or chamomile) followed by a self-massage using a jade roller or gua sha tool to awaken circulation and release tension.
Movement & Energy Clearing
Since Aries thrives on action, embrace dynamic movement like dancing, hiking, or kickboxing to shake off stagnant energy. Pair it with a smoke cleanse using rosemary or eucalyptus to refresh your space and aura.
Candle Magick for Bold Intentions
Work with a red or orange candle dressed with cinnamon or ginger oil to ignite passion and courage in new ventures. Carve your goals into the wax and burn it throughout Aries season.
New Wardrobe or Hairstyle
Aries season is perfect for a style refresh—try a daring haircut, bold makeup, or a new outfit that embodies the energy you want to step into.
Mars Water Infusion
Charge water under the Aries New Moon with citrine, carnelian, or bloodstone, then use it for anointing or as a facial spritz to bring confidence and drive.
Initiation Ceremony
Aries is about rites of passage, create a personal ceremony marking a transition or new beginning in your life. Write a declaration, read it aloud, and seal it with fire or a symbolic gesture.
