Aries Season: Strike the Match
What do Lady Gaga, Maya Angelou, and Christopher Walken have in common?
They’re all Aries, of course.
Aries season is the beginning. The spark. The moment the idea stops gestating and starts moving. This is the first sign of the zodiac, the initiator, the one who says I will go first even if no one else is ready yet.
Aries does not wait for permission. It acts on instinct, heat, and desire. Ruled by Mars, the planet of action and courage, Aries teaches us that clarity often comes after movement, not before. Momentum is medicine here.
In the Cacio e Pepe Tarot, Aries season is ruled by fire and appetite. These cards tend to courage, initiation, and creative momentum. They ask us to act before doubt can talk us out of what we want.
