3. Aries

Initiation, fearlessness, boldness, impulsiveness.

You are being called to step into the flame with an ignited vision of your desires. Time is of the essence.

The zodiac sign Aries is the sign of fresh starts and renewed vitality. It is the astrological new year, initiating humanity into each different cycle of cosmic evolution. Aries natives or people with many placements in Aries are bold, self-motivated, and full of energy, and never shy away from a challenge. They are warriors through and through, having no problem being the first to charge into the fire.

Aries says now is the time to act and that you should do so quickly. Do not waste this opportunity with doubts, second-guessing, or a lack of confidence. Aries is impulsive and quick to get the ball rolling but burns through this burst of energy just as quickly as she starts. Your situation mirrors the vibrations of the Aries season: your doorway to success is opening but will begin to close almost as soon as it appears. Be mindful of losing your nerve by overanalyzing, as a successful outcome in this situation requires immediate boldness.

This card can mean being the first to say "I love you" or, if you are single, being more aggressive when it comes to dating or making friends. You may need to initiate conversations and speak up for yourself and your desires, and not be afraid to ask for what you want. "Fortune favors the bold", as the saying goes, and Aries is bold if nothing else. The only way to lose is by failing to play.

Fire ceremonies can be used to release negative energy, set intentions, and invite positive change. For this ceremony, find a location that is a safe and legal spot where you can light a fire, such as a fire pit or designated campfire area. Gather natural materials such as dried leaves, twigs, and branches, as well as special herbs or flowers that are sacred to you.

Begin by creating a sacred space, which you can do by casting a circle or creating a physical boundary around your fire area, and by setting up any altar items or sacred objects you wish to include. Light the fire, and take a moment to focus your intention. You can use a simple prayer or invocation or sit in silence and connect with the energy of the fire. Spend some time sitting with the fire, meditating or reflecting on your intention. What do you wish to release or reclaim? When you feel ready, close your ceremony by thanking the fire and any spirits or deities you may have invoked, and by safely extinguishing the fire.
