Calling all Martians, calling all Martians. Front and center, as it is your time on the planet. Spring has sprung so they say. It has here in Arizona, but not everywhere. The Vernal Equinox is here again and it is time for all of us to begin our ritual of deep cleaning our homes, or is that out of date, like so much of what goes on in this world of chaos. Never the less, it is a time for new beginnings, and with that we are all grateful.

Aries gets us moving in the form of it's ruler Mars. Nothing is stable with this sign. They have to be creating or beginning something. It definitely will not be boring. We come out energized after a long winter. We come out with a lot of heat, dynamic and forthright energy. Aries appears to be independent but in reality they need a partner like their opposite Libra, to want a relationship. Aries wants interaction, any type, it doesn't matter as long as it can feel energy of human contact. If we can be friends, great, if not we'll fight. Typical thought form of an Aries.

They are seen as a Ram in symbolic astrology. This is seen as their need to push up through the hard crust of winter to enter the world as Spring. They are the eternal adolescent, always looking for their identity. They go from one experience to the next, looking to find their comfort zone.

To test the limits of others is cause for joy in the Aries personality. They love to push the envelope, whenever they can, and even when it is not in their best interest, they get the attention, they so long for. The bad boy is the mantra that they chant, as they love to get caught.

The Aries personality has a thought that if something is not black it must be white. Blunt to a fault their honesty is admirable. They really don't care for untruths. Why bother is their truth as far as deception is concerned. Subtlety is a word that is not applicable to the Aries. As a result they do not like a person that is a pretender. This they can spot a mile away.

Give these Martians any form of exercise and they will be comfortable, if that is possible. Otherwise they will become cranky, and none of us want to be around them in this state. They can be the most positive when they think that they are right. They do not consider any alternative to this situation. So direct in their manner that they come across as right even when they are out to lunch.

Self absorption is another name for Aries. They liven up a dull party anytime they are invited. Aries is the first of the fire signs and as such they bring to the table, the fire and heat of initiation to the forefront. They are so funny as they need to be first ,and you will often find them the first in line for tickets, or better yet, in the first row of an event.

The Aries need to be the hero or heroine is really a necessity for them to seek. Aries have a need to be looked upon as an instigator and a fun one at that. Aries loves life and embraces it at all times. Have at it Martians. The day of the week that Mars rules is Tuesday. So all of you born on a Tuesday have a piece of the pie, of Mars energy. We all have Mars in our charts so we all have That Martian flavor also.

What the Planets are Doing...

Well, the first thing on the calendar is the Vernal Equinox on March 20th. Time for Spring to appear and that is somewhat difficult for you Easterners, with the snow on the ground in some places. It arrives at 4:44 a.m. PDT. Interesting number to being the new year astrologically. It come out to be a three so we need to have fun and focus on abundance and be creative. It also is in difficult aspect to Pluto so there is going to be some transformative energy going on too. Big year for the planet.

Mercury our communicative planet moves into Aries on March 25th. You could possibly sell your mother with this type of energy. Just kidding folks, but this a very power time for us with two planets in Aries. It is after all the sign for new starts, excitement and general moving out of our comfort zone. Aries is like a rolling stone that has just emerged from a fire that is ready to set the world on fire.
