“She believed he could, so she did.” – R.S. Grey

20th March – 19th April

If you thought Pisces season was an emotional riptide dragging you through the trenches of your subconscious, well—congratulations on surviving. But if you were hoping for a gentle reprieve, Aries season has other plans. There’s no wading cautiously into the shallows here. The moment the Sun bursts into Aries on March 20, it’s go-time—except, not quite. This year’s Aries season is an electric storm of forward momentum colliding with cosmic roadblocks, demanding both action and patience, boldness and strategy.

Aries marks the beginning of the astrological year, and, quite frankly, nature seems to agree. The Spring Equinox, conveniently aligned with Aries' grand entrance, is when the world actually starts waking up. Birds start tweeting like they just discovered social media, flowers begin their slow-motion runway walks, and the general vibe shifts from "human burrito under three blankets" to "maybe I will leave my cave and do things."

Now, Aries isn’t just some self-assured executive delivering TED Talks about confidence. No, Aries is also the toddler throwing a tantrum in the candy aisle because Mars—their ruling planet—isn’t exactly known for its chill. This is the sign of warriors, pioneers, and people who yell at their GPS for daring to suggest a different route. Aries energy is fiery, impatient, and allergic to waiting around for things to happen. It is action, movement, and occasionally reckless enthusiasm.

This means that during the Aries season, you might feel an overwhelming urge to do—to start a project, make a bold move, or finally tell your neighbor to stop parking in front of your driveway. The trick is harnessing that energy without letting it veer into chaotic impulse. Aries loves a challenge, but sometimes forgets that not every hill is worth dying on. So, as you step into this season’s confident glow, maybe ask yourself: Is this the battle I want to fight? Or do I just need a snack and a nap?

We started 2025 knowing it was going to be a lot. Retrogrades, planetary shifts, and eclipses are piling up like an astrological avalanche, and there’s no dodging what’s coming. But before you panic, let’s get one thing straight: Aries season is an initiation. It’s the first sign of the zodiac for a reason. It doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. It charges ahead, bruises be damned. The trick is knowing when to lunge forward and when to bide your time. Because this Aries season? It’s a wild paradox of urgency and delays.

The Retrograde Quagmire: When Aries Energy Hits a Wall

Normally, Aries season kicks off like the official new year, all raw ambition and audacity. But this time, two key players—Venus and Mercury—are still in retrograde as the Sun crosses into Aries. That means our usual go-to Aries instincts (impulsively diving in, taking risks, demanding instant results) might backfire. Venus retrograde asks us to reassess relationships, money, and self-worth, while Mercury retrograde in Aries (and later Pisces) ensures that every bold declaration or rushed decision comes with fine print we didn’t read.

The plot thickens as Venus retrogrades back into Pisces on March 27, softening the aggressive Aries edge with a dose of nostalgia, romance, and creative vision. That same day, Venus meets Neptune at 29° Pisces, a farewell embrace before Neptune itself moves into Aries. This is a moment of dreams, illusions, and poetic longing—one final dip into Pisces’ depths before the waters evaporate into fire. Just don’t get too lost in the haze, because what follows is a very different kind of energy.

The Aries Solar Eclipse: Closing a Chapter, Writing a New One

March 29 brings the Solar Eclipse in Aries at 8°, the final piece of the Aries-Libra eclipse cycle that’s been rewriting our relationship to identity and partnerships since April 2023. Eclipses tend to bring revelations, but this one isn’t a lightning bolt of instant clarity—it’s more like a flickering torch in a labyrinth. Aries demands action, but with Mercury retrograde and Neptune’s influence looming, the exact direction forward remains foggy. This eclipse does form a supportive sextile to Jupiter, hinting at growth, expansion, and opportunity—but only if we resist the urge to bulldoze ahead blindly.

And speaking of Neptune…

Neptune Enters Aries: The Dream Meets the Warrior

March 30 marks one of the most significant shifts of the year: Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, and spirituality, enters Aries for the first time since the 1800s. After 14 years of dissolving boundaries and weaving dreams in Pisces, Neptune in Aries is an entirely different beast. Think less ethereal mysticism, more divine crusade. It’s a call to action, but also a breeding ground for ideological fervor, visionary breakthroughs, and—let’s be honest—potential chaos. Historically, Neptune in Aries has coincided with periods of war, revolution, and radical shifts in collective identity. The world is about to get a lot louder.

But before we get too caught up in the grand themes, let’s talk about what’s happening on the ground.

The April Reckoning: Saturn, Chiron, and the Libra Full Moon

The second half of Aries season is where the real work happens. Venus backtracks through Pisces to meet Saturn on April 2, a transit that asks us to get real about love, money, and discipline. Where have we been indulging in fantasy when we need structure? Where do we need to commit—or cut our losses?

On April 12, we reach a climactic moment: The Sun conjuncts Chiron, the Full Moon in Libra officially closes out eclipse season, and Venus finally stations direct. The Sun-Chiron conjunction may poke at wounds, but it also offers a rare moment of healing through self-assertion. The Libra Full Moon brings relational themes full circle—what we’ve learned since the Aries-Libra eclipses began, what dynamics we need to balance, and whether our autonomy and connections are in harmony.

Meanwhile, Venus stationing direct in Pisces signals the beginning of integration. We’ve waded through the past, reexamined old patterns, and now it’s time to move forward—slowly. But before we get too comfortable, Saturn meets the North Node on April 14, issuing a final karmic test. Are we walking the path we’re meant to, or are we clinging to outdated fears?

Clarity at Last? Mercury and Mars Make Their Moves

Mercury re-enters Aries on April 16, finally shaking off the confusion of its Pisces detour. Decision-making speeds up, conversations become more direct, and the fog begins to lift. But as Mercury conjuncts Neptune on April 17, we get one last reminder to separate truth from illusion—some ideas will be brilliant, others pure delusion.

And just as Aries season prepares to hand the reins to Taurus, Mars re-enters Leo on April 18, reigniting confidence, passion, and a touch of theatrical flair. This is the true end of the post-shadow Mars retrograde period, and with it comes a resurgence of personal fire. The energy shifts from hesitant recalibration to full-throttle assertion. Whatever has been brewing since the start of the year is about to get a bold, dramatic exclamation point.

While Aries season kicks off with a burst of enthusiasm, the tail end of March may feel a bit like hitting a cosmic speed bump. Retrogrades and eclipses might create a sense of uncertainty, making it a bit harder to go full-speed ahead. But by mid-April, the momentum picks up again.

So if you start this season feeling like you’ve been catapulted into a whirlwind of chaos, just know that things will settle—eventually. Probably. Maybe. Aries isn’t exactly known for long-term planning.

So here’s to a season of fresh starts, bold moves, and confidently stepping into the world as if you own it. Because, for the next few weeks, Aries says you absolutely do.

This Aries season isn’t a clean break or a straightforward sprint. It’s a collision of past and future, action and reflection, impulse and hesitation. If you feel like you’re stuck in a cosmic paradox, you’re not alone. The trick is to embrace the process—honor the retrogrades, lean into the lessons of the eclipses, and trust that when the moment to move truly arrives, you’ll know.

There’s fire on the horizon, but before we charge into battle, let’s make sure we know why we’re fighting—and what we’re fighting for.
