The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, 2 Feb – Sunday, 8 Feb
ARIES
Uranus takes over from where Pluto left off. Put another way, after a two-week period when Pluto ruled the cosmic waves churning up deep, dark and threatening issues, suddenly things are crystal clear. Perhaps more to the point, we are being awoken to a new reality. Uranus is currently moving through the area of self-worth, so your bank account and/or your value is likely to be the beneficiary of a welcome deposit; on the other hand, an unexpected development could appear to threaten your stability and security and/or your reputation. Don’t overreact or make a move in the heat of the moment.
Let it simmer.

Monday, 26 Jan – Sunday, 1 Feb
ARIES
Yet another week for the memory books. On Monday, Neptune enters your sign for its long passage, which will take some thirteen years to complete, and on Tuesday, Mars, your ruling planet aligns with Pluto. We could look at these developments as ending a chapter of life, one that is going out in style. It will depend upon your age and situation in life as to what exactly happens in this late-January-early-February period but it is a great time to clean house and start building some new dreams and ambitions. By contrast, this is not the best time to assume a threat is an empty one.
Cleaning house.

The Month Ahead for Aries
February 2026
This is a star-studded month: The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries (20th) and a solar eclipse (17th) combine to bring you to a crossroads. Collaborations take centre stage. It is the time to bond with kindred spirits and to come together with others for a united purpose. New enterprises begun in February could change your life. Dreams you have nurtured may come true or they will be seen for what they were, simply dreams. Take care not to upset people you may need nor abandon those who have been loyal to you in favour of new and shinier models

The Year Ahead for Aries
There are two distinct halves to the year. Until the end of June, Jupiter will be encouraging you to build your future, whether through your career or putting down roots, improving family life, even moving home. You may see your reputation rise and there could be welcome additions to the family. And perhaps because so much of your time has been focussed on “getting your act together”, by July, you’ll be ready to start enjoying life. A trip to foreign parts, an invitation to a special occasion, possibly an event where you will be the star attraction.
