The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, 23 March – Sunday, 29 March
ARIES
On Wednesday, the Sun meets with Saturn in Aries for the first time in this two-and-a-half-year cycle. Saturn brings responsibilities and rewards but it rarely makes you jump up and down with joy. There’s always work to be done on Saturn’s watch, always hard decisions to be made, but once we’ve attended to business, then the joy kicks in. March Arians and those of you with planets and points from zero to six degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn) are going to feel the weight of this planet at this time, but whenever your birthday, keep reminding yourself that there is purpose and ultimately pride in what you are going through.
Purpose and joy.

Monday, 16 March – Sunday, 22 March
ARIES
After four weeks in the reclusive twelfth house, the Sun enters Aries on Thursday, just hours before Mercury turns direct. While everything that has been stuck in the sidings or moving at a snail’s pace won’t suddenly get its act together, you will be in a stronger position when it comes to exerting your influence. Just how much the Sun’s proximity to both Saturn and Neptune helps the process of recovery rather depends. In some cases, a possibility will become a reality and in others, something you have hoped for or banked on will no longer prove viable.
Back in the driver’s seat.

The Month Ahead for Aries
March 2026
It may take until the 20th before you start to feel on top of things but once you’re there, life lifts off like a rocket. Venus is in your sign bringing romance to the top of the agenda – the weekend of the 7th looks dreamy – and she’ll be sprinkling charm particles over you throughout March. Luck will play a part in events, and even if Saturn puts a spanner in the works on and around the 25th, it really is for your own good. Dreams versus reality continues to be a major theme, whether you are realizing a dream or realizing that a dream needs a lot more work.

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.
