Initiation Point

The Aries initiation point arrives like a blaze, arising from the depths of the Piscean waterworld. Its time stamp is the equinox and seasons rearrange themselves around its cardinal doorway. The zodiac refreshes and we look to its next start finish line for portents as the keys to the next solar cycle dangle from its bright beams.
The Libran moon still hung heavy in the morning sky as time tipped its scales and she shifted into Scorpio. Both share the eternal cycle of regeneration, neither avoiding nor fearing the spectre of death and rebirth. Cultivate the ashes and trust the new beginnings that sprout from darkness.
Mars rules this equinox and is rebirthing masculine norms from Aquaria. Warriors responding to war with a valorous compassion and a firm future focused stance that does not back away from its battles. The stench of the old world is the tell now and it warns us of those who have not made the crossing. Mars is still modulated by Venus in his ear, her marks tempering his hammering heart as they both look to Urania, revolution and inexorable change. The past gives way to the future from now on.
Merc's winged heels land on the broadscape of Jupiter with an optimism that promises better days to those willing to learn and able to leap beyond what they know. The curve will be steep and wondrous. From Pisces we can write new mythologies and still conjure magic from the ancient tales. Hope swings its stars from this new dawn, visible only to those whose eyes are not downcast. Music tinkles from its far horizon and calls to us like a piper.
Initiation is powerful currency. There is an enchanted force that aligns with those willing to cross thresholds and take giant leaps of faith. The trusters of soft wings and broad feet, who can wrangle a rocky landing into unknown territory and smile widely at what greets them. Dawn watchers and time keepers who greet their future with open arms and welcome the full spectrum of their next adventure through the wild unknown.
Trust the spark.
Initiation is the badge of overcoming
