At 2:02 AM PT, the Sun officially enters Aries, marking the start of a brand-new astrological year. Aries, ruled by Mars, brings fire, action, and the push to go after what we truly want. This is the season of bold beginnings, of stepping forward without hesitation, and of trusting our instincts. If Pisces season had us lost in dreams and emotions, Aries season wakes us up, urging us to take control of our lives. There’s no waiting around, this energy is all about making things happen.

With Aries energy firing up our desires and pushing us to take bold steps, it’s the perfect time to dive into your synastry chart, the astrology of relationships. Aries teaches us to be direct, to know what we want, and to not settle for half-hearted connections. A synastry chart can reveal the deeper dynamics between you and someone else, helping you understand compatibility, challenges, and the lessons you’re meant to learn together. In a season of action, clarity in relationships is everything.

Aries is often seen as independent, the lone warrior of the zodiac, but lately, I’ve been reflecting on how this season connects to family. Aries is about identity, who we are at our core, separate from others. But at the same time, who we are is deeply shaped by where we come from.

I’ve been thinking about how family dynamics play into this. The way we grew up, our roles, our relationships, the expectations placed on us, can either push us toward who we’re meant to be or keep us trapped in old versions of ourselves. Aries season makes me wonder: Am I living my life as my true self, or am I still carrying the weight of who I was expected to be?

For me, family bonding has always been a mix of warmth and challenge. There’s love, but there are also patterns—certain ways of communicating (or avoiding communication), certain expectations that were never really questioned. But Aries energy doesn’t do well with old, unspoken rules. It wants freedom. It wants truth. It challenges us to ask, "Who am I outside of all of this?"

So, I’ve been making a conscious effort to reconnect with my family on my terms—not out of obligation, but out of genuine love. I’m learning to set boundaries where I need them, to initiate conversations that actually mean something, and to let go of any pressure to be who I used to be. Because Aries season reminds me: We’re allowed to change. We’re allowed to grow. And we don’t have to apologize for it.

If you’ve been feeling the same pull, maybe this is the perfect time to check in with yourself. Are your relationships (family, friends, partners) supporting your evolution, or are they keeping you stuck? Are you showing up as who you really are? Aries season is here to help us break free, to strengthen the bonds that truly matter, and to step boldly into our next chapter.
