Aries — Rise Up!

Arti­cle by Michael Beard

Mars, the per­son­al­ity ruler of Aries, gov­erns the solar plexus.

In the Tibetan Wheel of Life, Yama, or Pluto, which rep­re­sents the higher octave of Mars, holds and turns the wheel. The cen­ter or hub of the wheel lines up with his solar plexus cen­ter. Within this hub, a rooster, a boar and a snake are chas­ing each oth­ers tails.

These are called the three poi­sons and rep­re­sent the vices that keep us trapped in the wheel. The rooster rep­re­sents greed, the boar  igno­rance, or delu­sion, and the snake is hatred. They stir up the vices that keep us stuck in matter.

On one side of this hub is the dark path that leads into the realm of hell. On the other side is the path of light lead­ing to the realm of reality.

Aries is the sign that car­ries the great­est oppor­tu­nity for break­ing away from the old and cre­at­ing anew. When receiv­ing Aries energy, you can clear your solar plexus. Aries fire, in coop­er­a­tion with your Soul, can clean out the fear, guilt or anger which have been pulling the levers that con­trol your life.

This is impor­tant because the great Wheel is turn­ing, and it is time to move into a future where you are gov­erned by joy, peace and free­dom of the spirit. It is time to fol­low the upward spi­ral of light. This is the begin­ning of the path of resurrection.

The great­est gift from Christ to human­ity is the con­cept of res­ur­rec­tion, which was given when the sun was in the con­stel­la­tion of Aries. Aries opens new cycles which, like a spi­ral of fire, give birth to a new expres­sion of Spirit. …

Res­ur­rec­tion is a steady at-one-ment with one’s true Self, a steady process of chang­ing into Fire and becom­ing One­self. Res­ur­rec­tion is the with­drawal of Spirit from mat­ter through the process of adap­ta­tion and vic­tory over mat­ter. We are told that res­ur­rec­tion means to go back to the orig­i­nal state of being.

Accord­ing to the Tibetan Mas­ter, the solar plexus is the clear­ing house for per­son­al­ity energy and this energy must be car­ried to the heart by an act of the will.

The full moon of Aries is the ideal time for such an act. Aries expresses the ray of Will or Power. Through an act of the will, you can rise up. You can decide to the take the higher way. You can turn fear into striv­ing, anx­i­ety into enthu­si­asm, hatred into love and greed into compassion.

Through such bold action, you change into fire and cre­ate your own resurrection.
