How The Aries Stellium In April 2011 Will Affect YOU

Over the course of the next few months a large group of planets stacks up in Aries. Three or more planets are considered a “stellium.” It begins with the ingress of Uranus on March 12th, when it joins Jupiter and Mercury in the sign. The stellium culminates in early April when Mars itself enters Aries, with the sun, moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus already there. Because this is Aries, Mars-ruled, the stage set is all about action, fighting. Metaphorically I see it as the set up for a mixed-martial arts cage fight. With Saturn opposing the action from Libra and Pluto squaring, this is not some small town, bar scene cage fight, it’s the big time, big stakes and serious consequences.

The most serious player in this group, the slowest moving planet, will be Uranus, electric, revolutionary, ready to set you free. In the cage fight with Mars and Mercury involved, if you don’t mind what’s going on around you, Uranus might liberate you from your “good looks,” metaphorically speaking, of course. Keep moving, keep on your guard but stay loose. Follow the rules, keep it clean and take it seriously but not so seriously that you don’t enjoy the rush of what could be the fight of the millennium!

So where does this fight set up in your life, in your individual chart? Where is your Ultimate Fighting Championship taking place? The cage sets up wherever Aries falls in your chart; see what house it dominates. Does it fall in more than one house? Choose the the explanation of the one which is majority Aries, or blend them.

1st House Aries: This is Aries’ house and where you are most likely to find the literal fight. Your image and your presence in the world is electrified. You get free of the labels previously laid on you and are seen anew! Make the conscious effort to act in ways befitting how you wish to be seen from here on out. Fight for who you are, and who you wish to be.

2nd House Aries: These energies challenge you to refine your values and attitudes about your possessions. What do you stand for? What is important to you? What is worth fighting for? Now is the time decide what you will take into the future and what you will leave behind. Get rid of excess baggage.

3rd House Aries: You’ve likely been a strong communicator but now you’re really going to be heard. Your words now have a strength behind them that is impossible to ignore. They’re electric and new. You throw out or re-make old ways of communicating. You learn to make use of your senses in a new way. You listen, see, smell, taste anew. The 3rd house is siblings as well. Expect a few surprises there, but don’t punch your brother in the face. It’s bad form.

4th House Aries: The ground is moving beneath you, calling attention to how you feel about yourself, your roots and where you come from. We’re not talking about a destructive earthquake, this is a wake-up call. HEY, you’re important too! Who do you think you are? What do YOU mean to you? How did you get that way? Understandably this shakes things up on the home front, emotionally and practically, but in the end you all have a new base, where you’re free to move into the future unfettered.

5th House Aries: “You’ve gotta fight, for you right, to paaaaaarty!” Or parent, or be creative, or just to SHINE. It may seem the revolution is set to oust you from your throne, but you find a different crown, one that fits you better, even if at first you find it odd, made out of pipe cleaners and string cheese.

6th House Aries: It’s time to innovate in the way you conduct your daily life. If you’ve become set in your ways expect a turn of events that revitalizes that structure. Business as usual just can’t continue and your daily life becomes eclectic and electric. Health issues rise to the surface, not necessarily in a negative way. Now is the time to leave behind bad habits and create a lifestyle that takes you into the future.

7th House Aries: No, you’re not getting a divorce, unless you need one. You’re not going to put up with someone trying to tie you down. Partnership will set you free or you will get free one way or another. It’s time to try new ways of relating and this energy gives the push to find new solutions to old problems.

8th House Aries: Strange Bedfellows. You get yourself some new moves. Find the quirk within and bust a move. What’s your inheritance? What do you share with another? If you rely on the resources of others prepare to become more self-sufficient. Issues from deep within come to light where you can lick ’em and get free.

9th House Aries: You’re about to get a new education, a new philosophy: free your mind and the rest will follow. How you synthesize information gets an overhaul. All the bits and pieces, facts and feelings you’ve been collecting arrange themselves into previously unimaginable patterns. You’ll find you have new principles worth fighting for.

10th House Aries: You’re going to fight for your reputation, fight for your career. Integrity matters, fight clean and show ’em you’ve got it. Opportunities arise that if acted upon will aid you in the future. Detach from the need to see quick results and innovate. If something that seemed like an important piece falls off on the way, let it go, you don’t need it.

11th House Aries: You need to get out more. Or less. Whichever it is will become very evident. Your position in the group and how you relate to others is changing. Fight for your right to move forward. You have something to add to the collective but you refuse to be assimilated!

12th House Aries: If you start seeing or hearing things do not be alarmed. It’s just me hiding in your closet playing a joke on you. Just kidding. But seriously folks, your subconscious is going to come alive and want to be heard in weird ways. Consequently the ways in which you relate to metaphysical concepts is in for an overhaul. And do watch out for weirdos in your closet. Now is when you’re likely to catch on to your secret enemies. Don’t let anyone gaslight you.
