Spring into Action

by Debbie Peluso

Spring has arrived! The natural process of life as the creation/recreation unfolds. Oddly, we celebrate new beginnings in January by forming resolutions and intentions while contemplating what we need to be liberated from in order to bring about change. In actuality, spring and the beginning of a new astrological year is the perfect time energetically to start new cycles in our lives. We plant seeds to grow flowers and vegetables. The trees blossom with a display of beautiful colors. Birds sing their mating song. The days are longer and the warmth of the Sun brings vitality creating a perfect recipe for renewal. What an incredibly magnificent time to form new intentions and birth a new cycle. And it all begins with that wonderfully vital, pioneering, passionate and courageous energy of the Sun in Aries!

Astrology is the study of man in relation to his environment. It is the telling of time, life-cycles and evolvement. Man, animals, nature and the Cosmos are all One interacting with one another energetically. Over time, man has naturally understood this relationship as he watches the Moon and other planetary influences on the environment. The tides are affected; our food is affected. And, so it is with us. Our bodies respond energetically to the vibrational frequencies of the planets’ movements in our solar system. When we attune ourselves to this rhythm, we find it can guide us like a map. We can use it to tell the right time for action, just like our wonderfully expensive Rolex (or not)!

The planets and their respective zodiac signs are archetypes of the various emotional and mental levels of consciousness we experience as humans. So why does it start with Aries and his planetary ruler Mars? Aries is the leader of the pack. He is the warrior, the conqueror and the liberator. In Pisces, the last stop on the zodiacal wheel and the energy of endings and beginnings, it was a time for contemplating all that we experienced over the year – what we learned, gained and why. We may have possibly come to a realization about ourselves that brings about a desire for something new in our lives. Aries/Mars provides us with new purpose and initiative – the dawning of spring. It is our call to action! What is it we need to do? What is it we need to let go of? What warrior within us do we need to call forth to liberate us from whatever enslaves us, impeding our triumph?
