There is an abundance of chances to start over in this world.
I don’t want to get too philosophical, but from the time we land on this planet until the day we die, and every day in between, change is intrinsic to being human. Even though many people use New Year’s Day to make significant personal or life changes, the universe has a different plan: Today, March 19, 2024, marks the beginning of Aries season and the spring equinox, which coincide with the arrival of the astrological new year at the start of spring each calendar year.
The astrological new year begins on June 20, 2024, and the number of daylight hours continues to grow every day until the summer solstice, which signifies our spiritual rebirth, on June 20, 2024. We often experience a revitalization, and not only from the increased sunshine, when the earth’s buds open and color returns to the landscape. Initiation, new beginnings, and daring leaps ahead are all aspects of the cosmic energy associated with the astrological new year and the arrival of the Aries season.
Astrological New Year 2024: Date & Time
Though the Gregorian calendar begins fresh on January 1 of every year, the astrological new year is not fixed and typically occurs on March 20 or 21, depending on the year. The astrological new year for 2024 takes place on March 19, 2024, at 11:06 p.m. ET or 5:06 a.m. CET, when the sun enters Aries. This year we had an extra day in February because it is a leap year (leap day baby, anyone?).
Astrological New Year: Meaning
A new zodiacal cycle begins with the astrological new year, which is like a cosmic breath of fresh air. From Earth’s vantage point, this cycle moves through each of the 12 zodiac constellations as the sun moves across the sky.
The exact moment that the sun leaves Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac calendar, and returns to Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, marks the beginning of the astrological new year. Aries is a fiery fire sign governed by passionate Mars, in contrast to Pisces, a sensitive water sign governed by the ethereal planet Neptune, which leans toward the fantastical. As the sun moves from Pisces to Cancer, it throws us a curveball of Aries energy, jolting us out of our spiritual slumber.
Pisces is a sign that spends a lot of time alone with its thoughts and feelings, so by the time its season ends, we usually feel emotionally and spiritually drained. Now that the astrological new year and the Aries season have arrived, we are emerging from that metaphorically and literally dark period and into a time when we can breathe easily again. Both relief and a liberating sense of forward momentum pervade.
The fact that a new astrological year begins with the sign of Aries is thus not coincidental: Among its defining characteristics are fearlessness, confidence, and a desire to forge new paths. The Big Bang is a common image that comes to mind when one considers the beginning of time. If the cosmos came tumbling down from the sky in a burst of energy, then Aries could be seen as the first sign of the zodiac, with each sign building on the wisdom of the others. The Aries season, with its emphasis on essential themes of identity and self-discovery, can be seen as the starting point of this journey.
Astrological New Year 2024: Welcome to the New Energy
According to astrology, this heavenly change signifies a spiritual rebirth opportunity that goes *beyond* a simple calendar turn. Everyone will experience a renewed sense of purpose around the astrological new year of 2024, but some signs, like Leo and Sagittarius, which are both fire signs, may be more affected than others by the arrival of Aries season.
Now is the perfect moment to start over, make a list of everything you want to accomplish, break bad habits, and welcome change into your life. Use today to create a mood board or purge your life of any clutter, whether it’s physical or mental, that has been holding you back from living the life you want.
Also, as this astrological year comes to a close (i.e., from last spring until now), it might be helpful to take stock of the personal development you’ve accomplished and use that knowledge to inspire you to achieve even greater success in the coming year. On this journey through the zodiac, what are some of the most important astrological events to anticipate? The innovative Uranus and dreamy Neptune will form a rare and extremely fortunate conjunction on April 20. On May 25, benefic Jupiter will enter the sign of Gemini, which could bring good fortune to Geminis and areas ruled by Gemini, such as communication.
But in the interim, every zodiac sign will be changed for the better by the astrological new year and the spring equinox that coincide with it. To be clear, it’s perfectly fine if your journey isn’t exactly roaring into action at the outset.
Do not put undue pressure on yourself to make drastic changes all at once if you are still weary from the long winter. Rather, savor the light of the next season’s improved outlook and find solace in the knowledge that the next astrological year will still provide plenty of chances to shake things up. Keep an open mind to all the fresh ideas coming your way, but don’t forget that you started off slow. There is no need to hurry since the new year is only just starting.
