GOD: Ares (God of War & Chaos)👑

🪶 Archangel Ariel translates “The Lioness of God” and is revered as the healing angel of nature. This angel's purpose is to assist us in forming a profound bond with all aspects of nature, tangible and intangible. 

👑 Aries are ruled by Ares, the Ancient God of War, aggression, and conflict. In astrology, Mars' influence denotes courage, passion, strength, and competition. It can foster tension and accidents, and rules over fire and danger.

 ☀️ The Sun enters Aries on a Friday, ruled by Venus! Love, friendship, reconciliation and beauty are on the menu! With the Equinox / Ostara and National Astrology Day, there's plenty to celebrate.

The waxing Moon in Aries is wonderful for beginnings and drawing things toward us. These things may lack staying power because they come and go quickly. Avoid being argumentative and assertive! 

Aries ( April ) Birthstone* 💍

She who from April dates her years,
Diamonds shall wear, lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow; this stone
Emblem for innocence is known. 

Modern: Diamond

Zodiac: Bloodstone

Aries symbolizes new beginnings as the first sign in the zodiac and the harbinger of the Astrological New Year! 

Aries is associated with quick changes and sudden forks in the road. Their life is marked by arriving at a certain place and then being turned in a new direction. Life is adventurous!

There is a dynamic restlessness to the Aries character. With the Sun in this sign, you are an activist and doer. If you have a new plan or idea—you can't wait to plunge in! The amusing little prayer, "Grant me patience NOW!" is typical of the Arien attitude. 

When others first meet them, their instant impression is of something exciting, vibrant, talkative. Others will be lucky if they can get a word in edgewise. If someone brings up a topic, they will be delighted to tell in great detail exactly what they think about it. 

Aries gravitate toward the center of action. They are audacious and intent on getting their own way. Since their nature is to express power, they treat opposition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way. They are a natural leader who exudes self-confidence. 

They are generous about helping others in a crisis. They are openhearted and share ideas and advice, and will even pick up the check. They are uninterested in the small and petty! "Go for the best" is their motto!

Cancer ( July ) Birthstone

The glowing ruby shall adorn

Those who in warm July are born;

Then will they be exempt and free

From love’s doubt, and anxiety 

Modern: Ruby

Zodiac: Emerald 

As a Cardinal sign, Cancer heralds summer, just as Aries kicked off spring, Libra begins fall, and Capricorn is the first winter sign. Cardinal signs are the leaders and “idea people” of the zodiac. These signs prize originality. They’re the trendsetters and trend spotters, the ones who get the party started and the crowd hyped. 

Count on them to initiate a winning idea or plan. However, they need to reign in their competitive nature, as they like to be first in everything they do. This type of competitiveness can strain relationships, both domestic and business. 

A Cancer is sensual, passionate, super in tune with their bodies, and highly attuned to love and physical sensation—as long as they can trust enough to let down their barriers and allow another person into their world.

Happy Birthday, my Virgo friends ( and two children! )!

But lay an Opal on her breast,

And hope will lull those foes to rest.

Modern: Opal or Tourmaline 

Zodiac: Peridot 

As a Cardinal Air sign, Librans are all about relationships or partnerships. But it's not about finding the perfect partner, it's about learning more about who you are from the partner/s you choose and the reflection he or she provides. 

This process could take you through several relationships ( or even lifetimes ). 

However, even if you find a rewarding relationship with the best partner, it is not the relationship that will complete you. It will only provide the means by which you, through increased understanding and self-awareness, can complete yourself as a human being. 

Happy Birthday, my Libran friends!

Zodiac: Beryl

🌊 As a fixed Water sign, a Scorpio's recuperative powers are remarkable. They are a truth seeker and have keen judgment and penetrating insight, and these qualities enable them to exercise a great deal of authority over others.

Willpower and persistence are their strong points, and although they are somewhat reticent, when prodded they can become outspoken and direct.

They are determined, can be aggressive when threatened, and shrewd in matters of perception (think human-Xray machine). They are rarely passive or neutral about anything.

Scorpios are also known for being fiercely loyal, and they will always stand by those they care about – even if it means sacrificing themselves in the process.

When it comes to love, Scorpios are not afraid to go after what they want. They are often very intense and passionate lovers but can be a bit possessive at times.

There is no cookie-cutter astrology; however, there are recorded traits that date back thousands of years in regard to zodiac signs. Some are as follows; however, much more depends on the aspects your planets are making. 

As a Mutable sign, Pisces are extremely charitable and compassionate. They are sympathetic, emotional, intuitive, introspective and very imaginative, especially in the area of music.  

They are known as the dreamers of the Zodiac and are easily influenced by others because they don't want to hurt anyone. It can be difficult for them to make decisions and they need to overcome their desire to escape from anything that is difficult. 

At times they can be indolent and impractical, and struggle with self-confidence, but in their own quite way, they accomplish a great deal. 

They are very charming and likeable and are good for those in distress and are fond of animals. Pisces, more than any other sign, will draw its strength or weakness from the rest of the horoscope.
