The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, August 31st – Sunday, September 6th
ARIES
There are two ways of interpreting Mars’ square to Saturn: the frustration of your efforts to achieve your ends or a solid and lasting result. Either way, there’s work involved, first and foremost on your ability to persist and take accountability. By which I mean, if you haven’t got the results you hoped for or people are proving resistant to your charms, go back over your part in the situation. Whether you’ve got a win on your hands or a loss, you have something to do with the way things have panned out or the direction in which they appear to be going.
A little self-reflection.

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.

The Month Ahead for Aries
September 2026
The month opens on a Saturnian note, which may temporarily knock the wind out of your sails. Whatever the blot on your landscape it can be overcome and it can certainly teach you a lot about what not to do and who not to trust. Indeed, throughout September there will be opportunities to reconsider your allegiances. Another key date is the 26th and the full moon in Aries: this is the companion to April’s new moon so something that began in the spring has reached a crossroads. However, before you assume a situation is truly done and dusted, check the back story.

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.
