The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, 2 Mar – Sunday, 8 Mar
ARIES
You may be misinterpreting the signals so avoid acting on a hunch unless and until you can back it up. Not only is there a lunar eclipse in the most sensitive area of your horoscope, one in which hopes and fears are exacerbated, but Neptune and Saturn are conjoined to Venus. While some Arians will be in-thrall with someone or something and ready to commit body and soul to it, others will fear that they are being ghosted and/or in danger of losing their position. Keep reminding yourself that if something is real, you’re going to be able to see it, touch it and name it.
It’s got to be real.

Monday, 23 Feb – Sunday, 1 Mar
ARIES
Since mid-January all the personal planets bar one have squared Uranus, and on Friday that one planet – Mars – will do so. This planet of ambition, conflict and desire has been applying to Uranus for the past week so already you may have experienced a sudden and unexpected change to your schedule or an event that ripped the rug from beneath your feet, but with Mercury turning retrograde (Thursday) you’ll need to take a little more care with your actions. A loss of concentration, a lack of restraint or passions ignited could do a lot more damage than you might think.
Keep your cool.

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.
