The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, May 4th – Sunday, May 10th
ARIES
Mars has been moving through your sign since early April, which could explain why you’ve been on a battle-footing much of the time, and also why there have been some discouraging moments and certainly times when you’ve taken on more than you should. Mars now angles Jupiter – the Bringer of Joy – so a reward for your efforts could be in the pipeline. However, with Pluto also centre stage, actions have consequences that will be longer-lasting and more profound. In other words, hold your fire and consider every angle before making a major move.
Less is more.

Monday, April 27 – Sunday, May 3
ARIES
Finances are in the frame, as are your values and self-belief. Friday’s full moon cuts across the axis of self-worth, setting the stage for a deal to be done or a state of affairs to reach a tipping point. Certainly, in the preceding days it would be a good idea to keep a close eye on finances and financial transactions. However, for some Arians this full moon will have nothing to do with money but everything to do with the value other people place on you. Either your value is at a premium or you may feel that you are not being treated as you deserve.

The Month Ahead for Aries
May 2026
Hopefully you enjoy controversy because there’s plenty of it in May. Whether your statements or beliefs clash with others or something from the past comes up for review you face a challenge. And then there’s money. While an unexpected bonus could help with finances, errors, especially with online transactions, are also likely. Think of every angle and avoid making a statement that you cannot guarantee to be true. That said, there are some serious benefits to May’s stars, not least a journey in miles or an experience that transforms your future horizons.

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.
