The Start of Aries Season
The First Sign of the Zodiac
When Does Aries Begin?
Aries marks the beginning of the zodiacal cycle. It is the first astrological sign in the wheel, heralding a time of new beginnings, dynamic energy, and the spark of initiation.
The Sun's journey into Aries signifies the moment of the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. This celestial event represents a point of perfect balance between day and night before the light begins to grow stronger.
Aries season commences when the Sun moves into the tropical sign of Aries. This period is characterized by a surge of cardinal fire energy, propelling us forward into action and new ventures.
