Aries 21 March – 19 April

With your ruler Mars burning bright in Cancer today, sitting at 16 degrees, you might be feeling a surge of protective energy, Aries, especially around your home or those you care about. This fiery Mars, usually all about charging ahead, is currently in a water sign, which can make your actions more emotionally driven than usual. You’re definitely feeling that urge to lead, but it’s important to acknowledge where that impulse is coming from.

The real tea, though, is with Saturn, currently retrograde at 13 degrees of your own sign, Aries, forming a pretty tight square to that Mars in Cancer. This aspect is like hitting the brakes just as you’re trying to accelerate. You’re keen to make things happen, but there’s a persistent feeling of being held back or needing to re-evaluate your plans. This isn't about stopping; it's about refining. That competitive streak you’re feeling at work might be better served by listening to feedback rather than just pushing your agenda.

Your usual ‘charge first, ask questions later’ approach is particularly challenged today, thanks to the Last Quarter Moon in Cancer, squaring up to Neptune, also retrograde in Aries. This can cloud your intuition and make you prone to misinterpreting signals. Before you jump into a conflict or make a big decision, especially where emotions are high, take a moment. That urge to assert yourself might be better channelled into clarifying what you truly want to achieve, instead of just reacting to perceived slights.

With Jupiter in Leo trining Saturn in Aries, there’s a great opportunity for you to bring your expansive vision into a more structured reality. This connection helps you marry your big ideas with practical steps. Don't let your impatience get the better of you, Aries. Use that powerful fire energy to fuel a methodical approach, especially when it comes to long-term goals. Listen more than you speak this Sunday, particularly in relationships where you want to lead but need to understand the other side.
