The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, July 20th – Sunday, July 26th
ARIES
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is in pride of place making this one of the most opportunity-laden periods of 2026. You may find yourself in the spotlight or someone’s actions will put you on top of the world. And if you’ve been trying to make something happen, this is the moment to push as hard as you can. That being said, Jupiter’s potential to inspire growth can translate as inflation, so you need to be equally mindful that a situation doesn’t start spiralling out of control. Be confident about your abilities and strong in the knowledge that everything is working out as it should.

Monday, July 13th – Sunday, July 19th
ARIES
We are nearing one of the most important points of the year – the Jupiter-Pluto opposition. This is a power-packed combination and it has the capacity to bring great and beautiful things into being but it is also highly combustible and not everything can withstand the heat. With this in mind, don’t push anything, including yourself, beyond its limits. No ultimatums and gestures of defiance. And if you can see that a situation has the potential to damage you, start pulling back and putting in firewalls. As for the joy and success this alignment can bring, all you have to do is sit back and let it all unfold.

The Month Ahead for Aries
July 2026
Welcome to a month of innovation and change. You could be renovating or moving home or there could be new family members, whether by birth or marriage. And, one way or another, by the end of July you will be in a different space. That said, this is not the smoothest period of the year and even though you may have a big success on your hands, it will have come at a cost. Expect the odd travel glitch and a misunderstanding could get in the way of a previously solid friendship. The week of the 26th is one for the memory books. Accept your victories and defeats with equal grace.

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.
