The Week Ahead for Aries
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.

Monday, 9 Feb – Sunday, 15 Feb
ARIES
On Saturday – Saturn’s day no less – Saturn moves into Aries for its two-plus-year transit. While you should look forward to reaping the harvest of your efforts over the decades, there will also be reminders of failures. Saturn always seeks out your weak spots. So, if life couldn’t be better right now, take a look at potential potholes and shore them up. Especially if you are a March Aries or you have planets and points in the early degrees of the cardinal signs, you could be feeling discouraged and/or depleted of resources. This will change but what will help is tackling the issue in the most practical and expedient way that you can.
Put on your practical hat.

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.
