Aries 21 March – 19 April

With the Moon sitting right in your sign at 15° Aries, conjunct retrograde Saturn at 14° Aries, you’re feeling everything deeply today, Aries. That signature drive of yours is definitely fired up, but there's a serious undertone – almost like you’re hitting the accelerator while the brakes are subtly on. It’s that Cardinal Fire energy of yours wanting to launch, but Saturn’s backward motion is asking you to slow down and verify your trajectory. This Moon-Saturn combo also links to Neptune at 4° Aries, retrograde as well, adding a layer of introspection and perhaps a touch of confusion to your usual clear-cut approach.

Your ruler, Mars, is cruising through late Gemini at 25°, bringing a restless, communicative buzz, but it’s squaring Venus in late Virgo at 27°. This means your desire for action and your need for partnership or shared values might be clashing. You're keen to lead, as is your nature, but in a relationship or collaborative setting, trying to push your agenda without really listening could cause some friction. Spill the tea: you might be so focused on being right or getting your way that you're missing important cues from others. That competitive edge, especially at work or in a group project, needs a gentle reins today.

The Sun and Jupiter are both holding court in the middle degrees of Leo, your fellow Fire sign, giving you a boost of confidence and creative energy. This lovely Trine to the Moon and Saturn in Aries helps ground some of that intense self-expression. You’ve got brilliant ideas, and the Sun-Jupiter conjunction at 11° and 7° Leo respectively is amplifying your desire to shine. However, with Jupiter opposing retrograde Pluto in early Aquarius, that desire for personal glory might feel a bit constrained by larger group dynamics or systemic issues.

So, what's a fiery Aries to do? Instead of charging ahead, channel that Mars in Gemini energy into gathering information, listening to different viewpoints, and maybe even having a bit of a think before you speak. That Waning Gibbous Moon reminds us it’s a time for release and reflection, not just relentless pursuit. Use this period to refine your strategy rather than just reacting on impulse. You’ll thank yourself later.
