ARIES

I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs.

But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened

to one ABBA song. That’s because my life is as good as an ABBA song.

It’s as good as Dancing Queen.

A closet-clearing full Moon and lunar eclipse (7^th), in Pisces and your 12^th house, prises opens the door on something you’d rather keep hidden. Most likely from yourself, Aries. Maybe you’ve been avoiding this. Or just thinking about it is a trigger. It could be painful, scary, messy or even make you feel guilty or ashamed. Yes, other signs see you as the invincible soul warrior of the zodiac. Whose unstoppable and fierce courage means you face anything and everything head on. And you are all that. But we all have those no-go areas in our lives or secrets buried deep within our psyche we’d rather not deal with. And even the bravest souls are no exception.

What this is, is having a profound impact on you. Mind, body, soul. Maybe all three. Stopping you from being that Dancing Queen. That’s why it’s time to face it, Aries. Here’s this eclipse’s secret for you: once you drag it out into the steel cold light of truth, it lessens its power over you. Like a bad dream. Of course, if you need additional support, do go seek it out. But also – what this actually is and the impact its been having, may be a revelation in itself.

This is all important work. Because the second eclipse of the month – the new ‘Black’ Moon in Virgo (21^st), so named because it is the second new Moon to appear in Virgo, brings a powerful new beginning and a rare opportunity for a second chance. Especially around your entire wellbeing. All the more reason to out anything that is eroding this. Release and begin again, whole, healed and integrated. In the shadows of these eclipses, lies your power waiting to be reclaimed.

There’s a deep dive and big emotional shifts to be explored as ahead of the eclipses, Saturn returns to Pisces and your 12^th house (1^st). Take time for real ‘me’ time now. Which can mean unplugging and heeding your body’s call to slow down. Mercury’s arrival in ruling sign of Virgo (2^nd) hands you the willingness to ask the tough questions – even of yourself. As Mercury squares Uranus in your 3^rd – be prepared to adapt, shift or reach for a new set of tools. And this just in – ahead of the eclipses anything that is detrimental to your overall wellbeing may suddenly shift or even end.

Watch for the tendency to become overly defensive or set on getting your own way on the 5^th when Mars in Libra and your partnership zone squares Jupiter in your house of home, lifestyle and family. Don’t say anything you might regret in the heat of the moment. Yes, you may be justified in feeling put upon. But try to talk things through and find that sweet spot. Especially with partners and those you live with. Uranus is about to head backwards in your house of communication. And this can have you looking at how you resolve conflicts and your communication style in general. This also applies to what you share online.

We are heading towards the equinox and your yearly partnership peak. Togetherness talks now, Aries. And with you feeling healed and stronger, this makes for an excellent time to create a better understanding and deeper bonds with those closest to you. And yes, to search for the other half of that upcoming double act you’d like to enter. Ahead of the Sun’s arrival in your 7^th (22^nd), Mercury lands in Libra, triggering the first of two rare Grand Air Trines and Kites (19^th – 24^th). Relationship themes dominate conversations and all you do. Be they in existing ones. Or you search for that other ‘half’ – be this that love partner, collaborator, working union or simply fellow mischief maker, intensifies. What’s more, thanks to your period of soul searching, you are feeling more aligned to your real needs. And yes, free from that baggage, Aries!

Ruler Mars now in Scorpio may still on occasion stir up some residual fears. Or lack of confidence. If so, you now know you’ve got this. And are perfectly capable of dealing with it or cutting it down to size. Remember – no matter what your relationship status, or whether you are currently looking for someone or not, you are being asked to bring things back into balance. And this always begins with you! If you are disconnected from your power, held back by fear, this is an imbalance. Equilibrium within always brings about that in our relationships.

This is also one of your main cycles of attraction of the year. Think ‘Opposites attract’. What’s missing or brings those scales back into balance. Also, pay attention to day dreaming and escaping into a fantasy world. That’s totally different to visualising what it is you want to attract. Day dreaming can highlight what is actually missing in our real world lives. Be it love, attention, success or reclaiming our fearless wonder. Once we see that for what it is – we can correct it by getting in IRL. Yes, that is when we live the dream for real. With the second Kite aspect of the month, this points the way to where you can attract in what (or who) you need to make it happen.

That shift in your communication style combined with your willingness to confront what lurks in the shadows, stands you in good stead as September comes to a close with you able to balance those newly freed passions with meeting the needs of others. When you’re willing to meet your real self, you are whole-hearted able to balance and navigate those outer relationships. And that’s when the reality can be as good as Dancing Queen.

In a nutshell: Second chances are rare. Especially when it comes to healing and releasing what’s holding us back. But you’re handed the opportunity this September eclipse cycle. And this is when life – and love, can just live up to the fantasy, Aries.
