The Alpha & The Omega – Aries, Pisces & the Retrograde Pull of the Past
Setting the Tone: The Solar New Year & The Aries Equinox
The Spring Equinox marks the true Solar New Year – the moment when the Sun enters Aries and initiates a new cycle.
Aries, as the first sign of the zodiac, represents emergence, action, boldness, and independence—but this year, something is different.
Instead of pure forward momentum, Venus & Mercury retrograde are pulling us backward into Pisces.
This Aries season begins with reflection instead of action.
Key Question: Are you feeling the pull to start fresh, or do you sense unfinished business from the past resurfacing?
Aries & Pisces: The Paradox of This Moment
Aries is the initiator, warrior, and pioneer—driven by fire, passion, and instinct.
Pisces is the mystic, dreamer, and dissolver—flowing with surrender, intuition, and endings.
This Aries season is unique because it is immediately tethered to the past—instead of full acceleration, there is an underlying pull to reflect, release, and reset.
The Push-Pull Dynamic:
Do we act or pause and reflect?
Do we begin something new or close an old chapter first?
How do we move forward while honoring what is dissolving behind us?
Key Question: Where in your life do you feel the urge to move forward but sense something unresolved pulling you back?
Venus & Mercury Retrograde: Revisiting the Past Before Moving Forward
Retrogrades = Reflection, Reassessment, and Release.
Mercury Retrograde (Aries → Pisces) 🗣️
Rewriting personal narratives, identity, and self-expression.
Rethinking how we communicate our desires and intentions.
Breaking free from mental patterns that no longer align with our true path.
Venus Retrograde (Aries → Pisces) 💔
Revisiting old desires, past relationships, and self-worth themes.
Reflecting on what truly brings us value and meaning.
Clearing unresolved emotional ties before moving forward.
The Collective Layer – A Final Piscean Review 🌊
Both planets return to Pisces, rejoining Neptune & Saturn.
This is the final opportunity to release illusions, fantasies, and outdated dreams.
The collective imagination is being re-examined—what stories have we told ourselves that no longer serve us?
Preparing for Saturn & Neptune’s eventual transition into Aries later this year.
Key Question: What illusions—personal or collective—are you finally ready to let go of? What truths are emerging now that you couldn’t see before?
The Larger Arc: Saturn & Neptune’s Move to Aries – A Collective Shift
Saturn & Neptune have spent years in Pisces, dissolving old structures and reshaping our collective beliefs.
Later in 2025, they enter Aries, marking a major energetic shift from fluidity to fire, surrender to self-assertion.
This Aries season is a preview of the larger transition ahead.
What Is Dissolving Collectively?
Outdated leadership models, personal identities, and social structures.
Collective dreams and ideals shifting in response to new realities.
This is not just an individual journey—this is a time of global transformation.
Key Question: What structures, identities, or beliefs are dissolving for you right now? How can you align with the energy of what’s emerging?
