March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for the Full Moon in Leo: The Tower
Meaning: Whatever life has thrown your way, you’ve survived and then made a comeback story of it that others envy and gone on to totally thrive. You are unstoppable and irrepressible, and always will be. You are ruled by Mars, and nothing and no one ever beats that energy.
Have faith in your strength, in all its guises. Push yourself further and harder. Why not? Others can’t make the leaps and climbs that you can, so why not use your edge and soar. It’s time to have faith in your endurance and resilience and courage, and act like a warrior.
