The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, 4 Aug – Sunday, 10 Aug
ARIES
This may not be the easiest week on record, but you can make it purposeful. Mars enters your opposite sign beefing up your fighting spirit but also creating a breeding ground for arguments and conflicts. Technically, it will be others who are in hot pursuit of you, whether they love you to bits or you’ve got under their skin, so do your best to keep your temper under control. The reason the early part of August is extra-challenging is that Mars is opposing the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, which means you may not be seeing the full picture and are more easily discouraged and on the defensive.
Keep your cool.
Being real.

Monday, 28 July – Sunday, 3 Aug
ARIES
This is an ideal time to put your signature to an agreement, your stamp on an endeavour or to admit, enough is enough. Venus squares up to Saturn and Neptune turning possibilities into realities but also revealing where your efforts have fallen short of the mark. Whatever doubts you may have about the wisdom of a collaboration or relationship, now is the time to air them. What you don’t want to do is go along with a situation in the hopes that you will be able to change things later. There may be several ways to look at a situation but there can only be one reality, one truth.
Being real.

The Month Ahead for Aries
August 2025
Be prepared to go via the pretty route. In large part this refers to travel, which until the 11th could involve delays and detours but events could also be cancelled or postponed and it may take longer to reach agreements. Especially in early August, make sure you have all the facts, and if you’re unsure about anything, hold the phone! On the plus side, people will be pursuing you with intent whether for work or romance, and offers and opportunities arising around the 12th should be seized with both hands. While fate may play a big part in your life, it’s what you do about events that matters.

The Year Ahead for Aries
It’s time to dream big and bring dreams into reality. Neptune, the bridge to the higher realms, enters your sign on 30 March encouraging you to believe in your ability to manifest your ambitions and desires … Venus will be in your sign for Valentine’s Day – perfect for an engagement or wedding… April is a tricky period all round. With Mars opposed to Pluto, there could be power struggles and professional challenges to meet. This is not the time to issue ultimatums unless you are prepared to carry them out. By contrast, with a huge effort, you’ll achieve the breakthrough you’ve needed for so long.
