Susan Chang calls it &amp;quot;The Kingdom of Gold&amp;quot; in her book &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;36 Secrets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.  It's related to the 3 of wands &amp;mdash; and it's worth thinking about what territories you claim, what heights you're trying to scale, and what assistance you need to get where you're going.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x16tdsg8"&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;If you want to support the production of these columns and the poetry that I write, &lt;a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/sun-in-aries-ii-154312286?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&amp;amp;utm_source=copyLink&amp;amp;utm_campaign=postshare_creator&amp;amp;utm_content=join_link"&gt;you can do that here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;I'll add that I haven't posted here since Aquarius II, back in early February, because it's just not generating much traffic overall. I need to simplify my personal online footprint a bit so I can focus on the work that generates results. &amp;nbsp;Please bookmark the andrewbwatt.com site; the column tends to appear on or about the 1st of the month, the 10th, and the 30th of each month &amp;plusmn;2-3 days depending on where the Solar ingress occurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=abwatt&amp;ditemid=44635" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

More than this, at the Sun's ingress to Aries II, all the planets except the Moon are below the horizon &amp;mdash; and this decan has long been associated with Persephone, the kidnapped goddess of green growing life and queen of the underworld. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What seeds did you plant 6 months ago, that now have the opportunity to break forth? What are the possibilities for deep, wordless love in your life? Who in your life will carry the story of argumentative passion, and who will be the bearer of cold-hearted cruelty? It's all part of the story of Aries II.&lt;span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read more in my column for Aries II at https://andrewbwatt.com/2024/03/29/sun-in-aries-ii-30-march-9-april-2024/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=abwatt&amp;ditemid=31986" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

Administered by the Sun and associated in ancient times with the return of Persephone from the underworld, it's the place and time where the green ones start to emerge from their winter rootstock and seed, and begin to flourish. Several indicators in the chart promise a troubled and reactionary ten days, though, where we must respond to ongoing turbulence rather than make our own plans. Be flexible and open to shifting circumstances; don't blithely plow ahead regardless of  changing conditions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=abwatt&amp;ditemid=14635" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
