The Spring Equinox and Astrological New Year.

Happy Spring Equinox, Aries Season and Astrological New Year!

The Sun travels into the sign of Aries today, followed by the planet Mercury on March 28th, Venus on May 3rd, Mars on May 25th and Jupiter on May 10th 2022…slowly, the cosmos shift from a sensitive winter of water and air elements to the action-oriented fire of this spring season. 

Over the next few weeks, Style Briefs will be dedicated to the themes of 1st House/Aries (hello ambition, impression, identity, and physical appearance…and also FIRE). Several of you reading this are business owners, and I want to make sure that we cover all things outward EXPRESSION….including the Ascendant’s influence on copywriting and marketing. 

To start, and in honor of this new astrological cycle, I have put together a set of questions that take you on a year-long journey with style and creative voice as guided by the New and Full Moons. Journal on these general questions under each moon (remembering to take into account the placements and aspects of the transiting moons in your chart.)

Also, feel free to replace words like “creativity” and “expression” with “style” or “wardrobe”. Each question is applicable to a creative practice, creative-business and stylistic voice (through the arts and wardrobe).  

Let’s go!
