As mentioned in our Sun in Aries post www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-aries-2024 on March 18, the Sun moved into the sign Aries on March 19. During the time the Sun is in Aries in 2024 (moves into Taurus on April 19) Ariens with their Sun in the mid degrees of Aries will have Sun conjunct transiting Mercury. Mercury goes retrograde on April 1 late in the evening and while Mercury is in retrograde, it is advised that you not sign agreements or set plans in motion. Consider taking action once Mercury goes direct again on April 24.
Mercury retrograde is generally feared by many, although this is in general
an unsubstantiated fear. Mercury retrograde has to have an impact in your chart
(making contact with other planets in your chart. This will be a stronger energy
if you are born with Mercury retrograde in your birth chart). Mercury moves back from 23° to 16° affecting
those with their Sun in these degrees. Once Mercury hits 16°, it then begins
its direct motion and passes over the same degrees once again. The second pass is when you can move ahead
with your plans and the chance of disruption is much less probable.
The conjunction with Mercury and the Aries Sun brings conversation into light.
It is a time when you can communicate your objectives and move forward with
your plans. You can look deeper into your vision for the future and plan a
course to advance in whatever direction possible. Feel free to discuss these
plans with others but resist your Aries’ urge to advance without taking note of
what they had to say. They may offer you advice that will prove fruitful and
help with your progress forward. You don’t have to follow what they say but you
should listen in case they have relevant information or advice.
Those with their Sun in the early degrees of Aries will be experiencing
the sextile of transiting Pluto to their Sun, and this aspect is long lasting.
Pluto moves slowly through the heavens and its transformational energies take
time to unfold. Know that change is on its way. This is likely a necessary
change but may not come easily. Ego disruption is common, and this can come
from outside or from within. This will be an overall positive impact that
reveals itself over time and provides an opportunity to make changes or to be
changed by life events. These changes will open doors for self-understanding
and renewal.
It is best not to fight these changes. Paddling against the current is
futile with these energies. Life will take you where you need to go, and change
is a requirement. You will regenerate and transform within areas that need
adjustment. It will take time before you see where you are going, what lies
ahead and why these changes were required.
This is just a quick touch on some of the 2024 aspects for Sun in
Aries. It is important to look at the
full chart to get a clear picture of all of the energies that will affect you
during the upcoming year as what we touched on may be diluted or amplified by
other aspect in your chart.
Again, happy solar return to our Arian friends. Enjoy your next trip around the sun.
