In this episode, we turn to Aries, the sign that marks the beginning of the astrological year and represents the first impulse of life. As usual, I’m joined by my wife and co-host, Michelle, as we explore the deeper currents of the sign. We discuss core Aries themes including the mighty ram, the sacrificial lamb, fire symbolism, Mars, the spring equinox, the good shepherd and the sign's association with the head. We also cover the tarot cards most commonly associated with the sign: The Emperor and The Tower. Once again, this episode features listener voicemails and insights from our regular contributors Emily Ridout and Katriena Emmanuel. We also have special guest appearances by Marty Leeds and Tom Mac, enjoy!
