exist On March 20, 2026, the sun enters Aries – The beginning of the solar year. 0°Aries It is the zero point of the zodiac, where the new yearly cycle begins.
Since ancient times, astrologers have used Aries entrance – The moment the Sun enters Aries – deciphering the tone of the year ahead as a snapshot of how this new cycle may unfold – like the solar return of the world itself.
The Sun’s entry into Aries is the annual reset – the beginning of a new astrological year. The moment when life presses the restart button.
But this time it felt a little different.
Although the previous 365 days of journey are now over, we are still in the echoes of the New Moon at 28° Pisces – still carrying with us memories of where we have been and clues of unfinished business.
A new year, without remembering what shaped us, is just another mindless rotation around the sun.
The same urge to start over. Also longing for a “new beginning.” There’s also the belief that, by turning the page, we somehow reset the story – as if a new beginning can erase what came before.
But a new solar year cannot erase the past.
A new beginning means nothing if it’s not rooted in what really matters.
Mercury goes direct in Pisces
Shortly after the start of a new astrological year, the world hit the reset button again, and as usual – something unexpected happened:
Mercury turns direct.
This is not your usual Mercury station → Mercury changes direction Exact conjunction with the North Node in Pisces.
Mercury and the North Node linger together here for a few days, going deeper than normal movement would allow, giving weight and meaning to the way forward.
New year, new beginning – well. But why should I do this? What on earth is this for? What’s really important?
Sun and Neptune conjunct in Aries
The entrance to Aries—— Neptune conjunct in Aries ——Carrying a different beginning.
For the first time in our lifetimes, the Sun meets Neptune at the beginning of the zodiac. A new cycle doesn’t just “begin” – it begins with meaning.
Neptune brings something that Aries doesn’t usually bring: a sense that this beginning is not random, not isolated, not just another turn of the wheel.
That has something behind it. something Connect it to a deeper level of existencee.
The highest potential of this alignment is to remember something fundamental—the very fact that we are here, flesh and blood, means nothing.
For the first time in our lives we step into a new cycle, not only with motivation, but with a sense of direction from something outside of ourselves.
Chiron conjunct Eris in Aries
and Chiron conjunct Eris at 24° Arieswhen we feel pain, we refuse to be silent about it. What we have tolerated, minimized or explained away is no longer something we can ignore. We can no longer pretend it doesn’t matter.
Just as Eris exposed the hypocrisy of the gods and restored order to the universe with the golden apple, we too can flip the script and stand for truth.
Because once we stop straying from truth, nothing—no conditioning, no story we live by—can resist the power of truth.
Sun at Zero Aries – Across the Rubicon
when The sun crosses the Rubiconwe are invited not to ask what is new, what do I want to express, what is the next shiny thing to chase—but rather what is it that truly calls me beyond all this.
Sun in Zero Aries is an invitation Fusion with origin – Let this fusion spark something within us that feels both personal and connected to something greater – a direction that already knows where it’s going.
Stepping into Zero for the first time, it no longer felt like we were being thrown into the wilderness, fighting for survival, but instead it felt like we belonged to something.
This is perhaps the first time we start to feel attracted, not just driven. When a new journey feels a little different – no more repeating the same cycle with the same old tired expectations.
and When something bigger starts to control usthe question is no longer where we are going, but what we are going to do It always feels realeven before we had words.
If everything else disappears, who am I to remain?
Would you take different risks if you knew the universe was on your side? What would you do differently?
