Ignite Your Inner Fire

Aries season bursts onto the scene from March 20 to April 19, bringing with it a jolt of energy, passion, and bold beginnings. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is all about initiating, leading, and charging ahead—sometimes before they even know where they're going. In the tarot, this energy is mirrored through a set of cards that embody courage, impulsiveness, and fierce independence.

Whether you're an Aries sun or just riding the cosmic wave this season, aligning your tarot practice with Aries themes can supercharge your self-reflection and spark meaningful momentum.

Aries Energy in the Tarot

In tarot, Aries aligns with specific Major and Minor Arcana cards, each representing a different flavor of Aries energy across the zodiac's three decans (10-day periods).

♈ Major Arcana: The Emperor (IV)

Aries’ ruling Major Arcana is The Emperor, symbolizing structure, leadership, and power. He embodies the mature form of Aries energy—the builder who turns raw will into something lasting. The Emperor teaches us to take charge of our lives with confidence and vision. This is about owning your authority, building strong foundations, and turning raw energy into direction. Protect what matters—but don’t let control replace connection.

Keywords: Authority, foundation, leadership, boundaries

Ask Yourself: Where am I ready to take the lead in my life?

Aries Minor Arcana Cards by Decan

Each decan of Aries is also linked to a Minor Arcana card from the Suit of Wands

March 20–30: Two of Wands

The Two of Wands is about planning, potential, and the tension between staying safe and taking a bold risk.

The horizon is calling—but it won’t wait forever. This decan is about bold intent, not passive dreaming. You’re not just thinking bigger, you’re being asked to choose bigger: a bolder path, a riskier move, a more aligned future. There’s power in committing to the unknown, even if it scares you.

Themes: Vision, choice, expansion

Shadow: Hesitation, indecision

Prompt: What’s the bold vision I’m dreaming of—and what’s holding me back from pursuing it?

March 31–April 9: Three of Wands

Now the fire builds. The Three of Wands reflects the momentum after the first step. It’s a card of foresight, faith, and waiting for your ships to come in.

You've set the plan—now you're waiting for results. This card is about bold optimism, watching your intentions take shape, and trusting the process. Momentum is building. Let the universe meet you halfway.

Themes: Growth, anticipation, alignment

Shadow: Impatience, restlessness

Prompt: Where have I already planted seeds—and how can I stay aligned while I wait?

April 10–19: Four of Wands

Here we celebrate. The Four of Wands represents stability after movement, a joyful moment of arrival, often tied to community or home.

This is a moment of grounded confidence—not just celebration for the sake of it, but a marker of how far you’ve come. You’ve been building in motion, and now there’s space to breathe and recognize what’s solid. Joy isn’t a distraction from growth—it’s part of it. Let yourself feel what’s real.

Themes: Celebration, milestone, harmony

Shadow: Complacency, fear of change

Prompt: What part of my journey deserves recognition—and how can I honor it?
