The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, August 24th – Sunday, August 30th
ARIES
Friday’s lunar eclipse may be in a low-key area of your solar chart but that doesn’t mean it can’t pack a powerful punch. Full moons preside over endings, whether on the day or within the following two weeks of the waning cycle. But what kind of ending is going to vary from Aries to Aries. For some, this eclipse bodes a change in your working situation; for others a health issue or the end of a series of treatments. Since this eclipse is angled by Uranus, developments may happen suddenly and out of the blue. It’s a wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee thing.

ARIES
Whatever the real weather is doing, it’s mist and murk in astrology land. Mars angles Neptune placing one or more situations in doubt and causing you to question your actions. The chances are that you have misinterpreted a situation so avoid trying to resolve matters until you have some hard facts. Maybe someone is being disloyal and perhaps a relationship is in trouble, but you don’t want to make matters worse by going blindfolded. Go back over events that appear to have led to this point, focussing only on the reality.

The Month Ahead for Aries
August 2026
August is the month to enjoy the fruits of your labours. Whether you’re bringing new life into being in the form of babies, projects or love affairs, it’s going to be good for your heart. Two eclipses (12th and 28th) add to the excitement, although on and around these dates, you’ll need to be careful with your words and movements – a thoughtless action could have unwelcome consequences. Late in the month, Uranus inspires the unusual and the unplanned: great if you’re ready to channel your energies in new directions; not so great were you hoping that something would stay the same forever.

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.
