Aries 21 March – 19 April

With your ruler Mars powering through Gemini at 13°30', Aries, you're usually all systems go, ready to charge ahead with multiple ideas. But hold your horses today, because the Moon in Virgo at 13°49' is squaring Mars, meaning your quick-fire impulses might be a bit off-kilter. You're feeling that cardinal fire, wanting to initiate, but the Virgo Moon is demanding a level of detail and analysis that you might be tempted to skip. Spill the tea: are you trying to rush a decision or push a plan forward without checking all the facts? This could lead to some frustrating communication snags or a need to backtrack later.

The real heart of the matter for you, Aries, is the presence of Saturn at 14°41' and Neptune retrograde at 4°23' both chilling in your sign. This is huge! Saturn here is making you grow up fast, demanding structure and responsibility, which can feel a bit restrictive to your free-spirited nature. Meanwhile, Neptune retrograde adds a layer of idealism and perhaps a touch of confusion about your personal direction. With Mercury retrograde in Cancer squaring Saturn in Aries, your internal dialogue might be a bit of a battleground. You're trying to figure out your next move, but there's a push-pull between what feels right intuitively and what logic dictates.

Later in the day, as the Moon in Virgo also squares Uranus in Gemini, you might find unexpected disruptions to your carefully laid (or hastily made) plans. This energy is all about needing to adapt, which isn't always your favourite, but it’s crucial today. In relationships, Venus in Virgo squaring Mars in Gemini could manifest as tension where you want to lead, but a partner or friend is demanding a more practical or detail-oriented approach. Instead of digging your heels in, Aries, try listening. Your competitive spirit is better aimed at refining your strategies than at winning every single argument. Take a breath and use that powerful Aries drive to refine, not just launch.
