March Energy for Aries

Dear Aries,

You have been hard on yourself and maybe those around you because you held high expectations about a particular outcome. Maybe you felt that setting the bar unreasonably high would help you defend your status or help you gain favor with an authority figure. You are trying to step back to gain a more realistic perspective. Your inner voice is trying to tell you something but you don't really want to listen. Perhaps it is whispering to you about a sudden shift in a major life structure (living situation, job, close relationship) that is coming.

The advice is to return to whatever you find familiar and comforting to remind yourself who you are. Maybe visiting home and exploring some of your old haunts would be therapeutic. Or maybe just a phone conversation with a parent, sibling, or old friend would do the trick. The idea is to regain enough clarity about and confidence in your authentic self in order to see that whatever changes in your life was no longer really serving your purposes anyway. If you can adopt this perspective, it will help you not only better navigate this new terrain, but also help you take full advantage of it.
