The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, April 20 – Sunday, April 26
ARIES
Raise the flag! Uranus exits the zone of finance and self-worth ending a seven-year period of intense ups and downs. While not everything in your astrological garden is wonderful, Uranus’s new home will help you successfully navigate the uncertain times we are living in. This is not the only story, however. As the week goes by, the Sun draws closer to a square to Pluto bringing secrets to light and situations to a tipping point. This is not necessarily a bad thing – in fact it is almost certainly to your benefit – but you need to be careful not to respond in the heat of the moment to a perceived threat. Less is more.

Monday, April 13 – Sunday, April 19
ARIES
Slow down, Aries. This is not a climate in which to do anything at speed or without going carefully through the facts and exploring the potential hazards. Perhaps you made an error or failed to fulfil an obligation, in which case rather than explain or complain, fall on your sword and set the wrong to rights. On the other hand, you may be on the receiving end of promising offers and invitations, which though tempting could lead you down a dangerous path. Neither let your fears nor hopes propel you into an unadvised action.
It’s all about authenticity.

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.
