And so begins another astrological year. April is the month of Aries the Ram and astrologically marks the true start of the year. This is the time to set plans in motion, initiate projects, and embark on a journey. Aries begins to be exact on March 20, the Spring Equinox, when the day and night become equal; Egyptians believed that this is the sacred turning point of the year.
