March 18th marks the beginnings of an important turning point for many. Between now and the 20th March, a major shift in energy occurs, propelling us forward as we begin to see things with greater clarity.
The 20th March is the beginning of the Spring Equinox while on the 19th March, the Sun moves into Aries. Aries energy brings powerful cardinal energy – the energy of leadership which is unafraid to stand up and make a stand.
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is known for its bold and courageous attitude. Fierce and strong, this sign will do what needs to be done and damn the consequences!
While Aries may seem a bit pushy, there is truth and honesty in their hearts. This energy, when it affects us, encourages us to be brave and to stand by what we believe in.
The Moon moves into Leo on the 19th and this also brings a desire to stand up and be counted. Leo, the regal lion, knows its own power and inner strength and the combination of these two energies truly brings a force to reckon with.

Today marks the beginning of the Celtic Tree Month of Alder. The Celts were an ancient people who inhabited the British Isles and Ireland. High Priests known as the Druids possessed great spiritual wisdom and powers. They understood the power of energy, the movements of the stars, and they were highly respected in their communities.
The Alder Tree which this month represents is a tree that symbolizes strength, protection, confidence and valor. It is a protective tree and has the ability to hide people in times of danger.
As we move forward with hope in our hearts and strength in our veins, the energy of the Alder Tree moves with us. There are many ways to call for strength when it is needed. Read on to find out what your zodiac sign has in store.
Cardinal Signs – Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn
You are being called into a position of leadership and it is time to answer the call. You may be called to lead a group or movement, or to mediate between two parties, or to take charge among your family and relationships.
However your role manifests, it is one where you take the reins and you connect to the great power that lies within you. There may be moments where you doubt yourself but there is nothing to doubt. Everything you need is already within you.
Fixed Signs – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius
Your time to shine is nigh. You have spent a lot of time focusing on outward situations and external factors but now you are called to go inwards for it is only by going inwards that the light within you can fully be released.
You have much contemplation in the coming days but once you are clear about how you want to move forward, you will rise and triumph. Business deals, relationship factors and issues surrounding travel are very prominent at this time.
You are called to trust in yourself and believe in your inner guidance system. Listen to your emotions, don’t ignore them. They are there to guide you.
Mutable Signs – Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces
Recent events have led to a lot of spiritual development on your part and the full realization of what you want in life has never been so prominent. For some of you, shocking moments concerning either yourself or someone dear to you has opened your eyes. Your energy ebbs and flows.
But sometimes, your mind can play tricks on you and prevent you from moving forward in the way that is most healthy and beneficial for you. You are called to take charge of your health and look at new ways of dealing with things.
If the old ways are not working, it is time for something new. The energy of this period brings you the strength and courage to finally take a stand and make changes that you know must happen if you are to live your brightest and most fulfilled life.
