Aries 21 March – 19 April

There's a fair bit of internal churning today, Aries, as Saturn and Neptune are both retrograde in your sign, particularly around the early degrees. This isn't your usual 'charge ahead' energy, and frankly, it’s probably a bit frustrating. You're feeling that drive from Mars at 12° Leo, trining Saturn, which gives you a powerful impulse to act, but with Saturn doing its backward dance, you might be revisiting old habits or questioning your authority in certain areas. It's like you want to put your foot on the accelerator, but something’s making you check the fuel gauge first.

That fiery passion of yours, usually so direct, is being met with some resistance from the Moon in Aquarius opposing your ruler Mars. This is creating a subtle tension between your individual desires and what the group or your mates expect from you. You might find yourself wanting to take charge of a situation, especially at work, but realise others have their own strong opinions. Don't be surprised if you feel a little called out for being too bossy, even if your intentions are pure. The Moon sextile Saturn suggests a moment of clarity could come through listening, rather than leading with your usual Ram-like stubbornness.

Let’s spill a little tea: with Venus retrograde in Scorpio forming an exact square to Pluto in Aquarius, there are some pretty intense undercurrents in your close relationships and shared resources. This isn’t just about money; it’s about power dynamics and who holds the cards. You might be sensing that someone isn’t being entirely upfront, or you could be grappling with your own desire for control. With Mercury also in Scorpio, your communication might be sharper than usual, but be mindful of digging too deep or saying something you can't take back.

Later today, as the Moon trines Uranus, there's an opportunity for a sudden, brilliant idea to cut through the noise, especially if you’ve been feeling creatively blocked. Don't dismiss a quirky solution or an unexpected suggestion from someone else. Your natural cardinal fire wants to initiate, and while the current planetary setup encourages reflection, a burst of innovative thinking could be exactly what you need to move forward, rather than charging blindly.
