After Venus changes sign, Mercury becomes the only planet in a fire sign, alongside Chiron and later briefly joined by the Moon in Aries.

The Moon travels through Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries, continuing its waxing phase as its light gradually increases and daylight slowly begins to lengthen following the Winter Solstice turning point in the Northern Hemisphere.
