Growth Tips
When Aries energy amplifies the push-pull, name it: "My Aries side wants to run. My attachment side wants to cling. I'm going to do neither for 10 minutes."
Use Fire element grounding when emotions feel chaotic: intense physical exercise to burn off the adrenaline
Find a trauma-informed therapist. Aries fearful-avoidants specifically benefit from modalities that work with the body, not just the mind.
