Okay, so I wanted to share what I actually did around March 23rd, thinking about the whole astrology shift thing. It wasn’t anything super complicated, really, just something I tried to do to sync up with that change in energy everyone talks about when Aries season kicks in.
Around that time, maybe a day or two before the 23rd, I just felt… different. Less foggy, maybe? Like the snooze button phase was ending. I’d noticed this shift in previous years but never really did anything about it. This time, I thought, why not try? Let’s see if I can actually use this feeling.
So, on the 23rd, I grabbed my trusty old notebook – the one with the coffee stain on the cover. Didn’t pull up any fancy charts or websites. Honestly, most of that stuff goes over my head. I just wanted to work with the feeling of a fresh start, that pushy Aries vibe.
What I Did: My Little March 23rd Reset
It was pretty straightforward. I found a quiet spot, took a few deep breaths. First thing I did was just think back over the previous few weeks. What felt slow or stuck? Where was I just drifting? For me, it was definitely this project I kept putting off. Classic.
Then, I decided it was time to actually write stuff down. Making it real, you know? Here’s basically what I jotted down:
- First, I named the big thing. The main goal I wanted to finally tackle. Just getting it out of my head and onto paper felt good.
- Next, I broke that big goal down. Like, into really tiny pieces. Stuff that felt almost too easy. The idea was to make it impossible to procrastinate on.
- Then I picked ONE. Just the very first, smallest step. Something I could do like, right away or the next morning.
- I wrote that specific tiny step down on a separate sticky note. Put it right on my computer screen.
- Finally, I just kinda mentally committed to doing that one thing. No pressure beyond that.
And honestly? That was it. No candles, no chants, just me, my notebook, and a decision to stop stalling.
The next morning, I saw the sticky note. And I actually did the tiny thing. It wasn’t earth-shattering, but it felt like I’d nudged a heavy door open just a crack. It kind of broke that stuck feeling.
For me, using that March 23rd marker wasn’t about believing the stars forced me to do anything. It was more like using the idea of a ‘new beginning’ in the astrological calendar as a deadline or an excuse to give myself a push. A little ritual to get unstuck. Turns out, sometimes just deciding to start, and making the first step ridiculously small, is all you need. I’ve kinda kept doing this little reset around this time each year since. Simple, but it works for me.
