The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, April 6 – Sunday, April 12
ARIES
On Thursday, Mars enters your sign putting fire in your belly and encouraging you to pursue your ambitions. This planet of war could also increase the potential for upsets and arguments, so do your best to recognize when you’re being overly pushy and not taking other people’s feelings and needs into consideration. Since Mars is in range with Neptune there is also a chance that you’re misinterpreting a situation so steaming ahead on a crusade of some description could backfire. Make sure you have back-up and that you’ve done your homework.
Fools rush in…

Monday, 30 March – Sunday, 5 April
ARIES
Don’t be surprised if mid-week turns out to be a time when you meet with obstructions of one form or another and you feel far less confident and optimistic. It is the combination of the Moon’s opposition to Saturn and Neptune and the full moon that is upping the emotional ante and liable to make you exaggerate the negatives. Try to get as much rest as possible and believe the best in people and situations. In some ways, this is a great astro-scape for signing contracts and rising to the occasion but in others, situations might not live up to expectations.
Be realistic but not negative.

The Month Ahead for Aries
April 2026
If you reach the end of April and nothing out of the ordinary has happened, it’s not the fault of your stars. A line-up of planets in Aries not only gives you the power to move mountains but even without any effort events could prove life-changing. In many ways, this is a highly successful and fulfilling few weeks, especially in regard to romantic relationships and mergers of the professional kind. However, there is a chance that you will overreach yourself thus putting your health at risk. There are limits to your powers, and you must do your best not to exceed them.

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.
