Ace Week

March 26, 2022

Every week of the year has an elemental nature to it. This first week of Aries Season is a Cardinal (initiating) Fire week, using its nature to burst new life into being.

But birthing can come in many ways, shapes and forms. I’ve found my experience of this energy is the sensation I feel when I recognize the buds on the trees and the bulbs presenting new green growth. I feel touched by the eternal promise that all things must pass. All things. I feel grieving and excitement in the same breath. I am celebrating quietly by smiling through tears as I watch my life change right in front of me as my daughter packs up her bedroom while singing a sweet little song to herself.

We don’t often talk about Aries as connected to the crazy miraculous chaos of a hospital room just after a new baby has been plopped on a now empty mommy belly and the amazing connection and silencing presence among the beeping and host of medical professionals running about and the dad is crying and the baby is somehow conscious and knows everything, and it’s all spinning and nothing matters but this moment, and you know that 50 other versions of you are also there remembering that moment as you experience it in real time, and for one eternal second you understand EVERYTHING, too.

That’s Aries. That’s the ACE of WANDS.
