Even though I work in fashion and thoughts of trends and shopping occupy a large portion of my brain, I, too, can get overwhelmed by which trends to spend my money on each season. I can’t buy them all, so picking and choosing among the offerings is necessary, as difficult as it may be. When I’m intrigued enough to try a trend but want to play it safe, I try to seek out pieces that are subtle, easy-to-wear takes on it.
Since Mars is Aries’s planetary ruler, it’s important to note that we are still dealing with the aftershocks of the last retrograde. Although Mars turned direct on February 23rd, it ends on May 2nd. Therefore, we might feel as though our libido, energy, and confidence are at a low. We won’t have the bravado we usually have during Aries season and may not be as confrontational as previous years. Repressed feelings are bubbling up, causing erratic reactions and meltdowns when pushed to the edge. The good news is that we are coming closer to detoxing these passive-aggressive vibes from our environment.
