Style Advice for Aries Season and Tips for the Astrological New Year
On March 20, we celebrated the Spring Equinox, marking the first day of spring, and the first day of Aries season — which is also the first day of the Astrological New Year!
If it felt like a slow start of the year since January, it's because energetically we were still wrapping up lessons from 2022. Pisces season especially was a time for us to reflect and release what is no longer serving us.
Aries calls us to shake off the grogginess and get fired up to take action again. It is is a cardinal fire sign that's all about authenticity, passion, leadership, boldness, and going after your desires. Read on to learn more about the first sign of the Zodiac, how to make the most of Aries energy (regardless of your birth chart), and style advice to implement during the season and beyond!
Aries is a cardinal fire sign, meaning it is the first fire sign of the astrological year
Cardinal energy is all about being a self-starter, they are the initiators in the group project who push things forward and aren’t afraid to innovate and try new things (Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)
Fire signs love living life to the fullest, high- energy, creative, spontaneous, can have a bit of a temper, but they’re so passionate; that friend who often wings it with their intuition and hope luck is on their side (Leos and Sagittarius are the other fire signs)
Since Aries is the very first sign of the zodiac, it’s considered the “baby” of the zodiac; not a negative term, but a symbolic one because babies are concerned with finding their sense of self; encourages us to be unapologetic with letting our needs and boundaries be known so we can be our best selves
Aries traits and the Aries icon who perfectly embody them.
ARIES TRAITS: Confident, honest, motivated, bold, fun, unapologetic, courageous, enthusiastic, passionate; shadow energy is impatient, intense, impulsive, aggressive, competitive.
But let’s not be mistaken here, this is bad bitch “I got this” energy. Think Charlie’s Angels vibes; looking hot, kicking down our obstacles in platforms and flared pants.
Celebrity icons who perfectly encapsulate this bassass energy are Mariah Carey, Jonathan Van Ness, Lady Gaga
Style Advice for Aries Season
You don’t need to have Aries in your Big Three to harness Aries’ raw, momentum-creating vibe. Here is some style advice to consider as we leap into the astrological new year.
Wearing bright colors like red (taking action, passion), orange (creativity), and yellow (optimism/sense of humor) will help you tap into the bold energy of Aries season. White is also a great color because it evokes new beginnings and clean slates as we are reset during spring.
Write “I am” affirmations for how you want to feel during this spring reset; do these resonate with your style now? How can you take small steps towards it? Aries is about taking action, doesn’t need to be huge to make a difference
Be brave and try out a new trend you’ve had your eye on to embody Aries’ bravery and ultimate initiator energy. But do this mindfully, it’s not about acting on impulse and splurging.
With that being said, sort through closet and look at impulse buys. Consider what desire was asking to be expressed and how your next purchase can be more aligned.
