The Week Ahead for Aries
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.

Monday, 16 Feb – Sunday, 22 Feb
ARIES
Pay attention to any coincidences or sudden realizations because they are more important than you may think. Our unconscious mind registers those things that our conscious mind has missed, and often they are signs of hugely important things to come. Tuesday’s solar eclipse is enough on its own to inspire out-of-the-blue developments, but it is angling revolutionary Uranus and is followed by the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in your sign. Reality meets hopes, dreams and fears, so while a welcome breakthrough could be on the menu so too is the shattering of an illusion.
Unreal.

The Month Ahead for Aries
February 2026
This is a star-studded month: The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries (20th) and a solar eclipse (17th) combine to bring you to a crossroads. Collaborations take centre stage. It is the time to bond with kindred spirits and to come together with others for a united purpose. New enterprises begun in February could change your life. Dreams you have nurtured may come true or they will be seen for what they were, simply dreams. Take care not to upset people you may need nor abandon those who have been loyal to you in favour of new and shinier models

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.
