The energy of the moment

The Sun now crosses Aries, a Fire sign: the coming weeks foreground momentum, desire and the nerve to move without a guarantee, with the ability to decide fast and rekindle a want that had gone cold as a resource and haste, and choices made out of pride as the blind spot.

This is a cardinal sign: the energy opens a door. What starts here sets the tone for the whole season.

Intention ritual, Aries

Set a red or orange candle in front of you: it anchors the Fire element.
Write a single intention, phrased in the present tense, as concrete as you can make it.
Read it aloud three times, then keep the paper on you until the next lunation.
Log the date in your journal and reread it in a month: that is where the reading earns its meaning.

✦ Do

Set a single intention and write it down.
Lean on the ability to decide fast and rekindle a want that had gone cold.
Sleep enough: lunations disturb sleep more than people expect.

✧ Avoid

Stacking ten intentions: one holds, ten dissolve.
Letting haste, and choices made out of pride take over.
Treating the sky as an excuse: it describes a climate, not a fate.
