The Week Ahead for Aries
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.

Monday, 19 Jan – Sunday, 25 Jan
ARIES
If you listen carefully, you may be able to hear the beat of drums sounding in the distance. They are announcing the beginning of one of the most dynamic periods of 2026. Aside from whatever may be happening on the world’s stage, events in your own life could be about to sweep you off your feet. Whether that proves to be a welcome experience or anything but, you can be assured that everything is happening for a reason. If something or someone exits your life now or you yourself reach a point where you are ready to make a bold and uncompromising move, a new world awaits you once you’re out the other side.
Take your time.

The Month Ahead for Aries
January 2026
Venus in pride of place is what you might call a great start to 2026. Love is a priority, and you may have reason to celebrate a proposal or some other welcome prospect. And even if you’re not thrilled with events on or near 3rd, they serve a greater purpose. Career is also in the headlights with some of you beginning a new job and others receiving proof that they are valued, if not admired. By the 20th, the winds of change will be gathering force and they could sweep you off your feet, whether in a brilliant way or sending you back to the drawing board.

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.
