In this series of articles, we are going to explore the zodiac signs from the karmic perspective.
For a more in-depth explanation of my intention, read the article Zodiac signs and your lesson plan, which explains how the zodiac signs are interpreted in karmic astrology.
WHAT IS ARIES ALL ABOUT?
Aries is the fighter. This archetype's main focus is going after what they want decisively, boldly, bravely and confidently. If you were born with planetary placements in Aries, you are meant to live through particular experiences that will help you learn about the matters this sign represents.
Karmically speaking, Aries is encouraging you to be brave and confident and to fight for things. Aries is all about going after the things that seem impossible and proving to themselves that they can do anything they set their mind to. You are supposed to embody this sign's energy and intentions in your current life.
WHAT IS THIS SIGN'S LESSON PLAN?
- to become strong, confident and brave
- to develop a strong sense of self
- to feel passionate about their life
- to go after their goals and desires
- to take risks and get what they want
- to be seen as powerful and capable
- to become independent and self-sufficient
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT FOR YOU?
Because in your previous incarnations, you didn't really get the chance to experience life on your own terms. You have either lacked decisiveness or you may have existed in an environment that didn't allow you to express it, so you could only get what you wanted or needed by being affable, charming, pleasing and endlessly compromising. Perhaps you never had the chance to express your personal will because all the important decisions about your life were always made by other people.
In other words, in your previous lives, you have put others before you, either by choice or by necessity. Perhaps you cared too much about what others thought or wanted. Perhaps you didn't have the opportunity to go after your own desires because you were under someone else's thumb or perhaps you kept yourself dependent on others because you didn't believe you had what it took to make it on your own. Maybe someone made you believe that about yourself, so you compromised instead and you lived you life with these unexpressed passions or desires. Perhaps you were more than ready to go after them but you were prevented to do so by the social rules and conventions or by the people who were in charge.
This kind of existence could have also left you with some deep wounds, namely thinking
that you are not capable enough to do what you want or that your desires don't really matter. Perhaps you feel that you can't just be straightforward and say or do what you want, instead, you always need to play nice and go about it in a roundabout way. This way, it takes way longer and the final result is likely some kind of compromised version of what you want that works for others, not for you. You may feel like being loud and demanding is wrong or you may worry about people turning against you. The challenge you have to face this time around is to get rid of the limiting beliefs you incarnated with and to heal this core wound that is keeping you stuck in your old patterns.
SO WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?
Try to do things differently this time around. Learn more about the sign of Aries and make a conscious effort to embody its positive qualities.
At the same time, you shouldn't feel guilty about demanding things for yourself or having different wants than others. Remember, your life has never been about you before. You were the one who has always had to compromise. Now it's time others do it. It is your turn to experience what it is like to get what you want, to be direct, to demand things for yourself and not have your desires questioned. By experiencing this perspective, your soul is trying to balance out what it has experienced so far.
On the other hand, you may also have to face some negative consequences that come with
being brave and bold. You may have to deal with some discouragement from others, with their lack of confidence in you or their lack of support for you because you refuse to compromise your vision. Such challenges are a part of life but you don't have to feel bad about how you want to live your life. Your time has come. Don't settle for less than exactly what you want.
