Yesterday's Aries Planetary Horoscope

It is just before the Moon returns to Aries today that the dwarf planet Ceres, the only planet still in direct motion here turns retrograde. The rest of the five planets in your sign have been in retrograde motion since last month including Saturn, who is now just three weeks away from retrograding back out. Until now Ceres, on her first deep dive into your personal needs and priorities in four years has been the holdout, wanting to focus on the future for as long as possible. Now, with a new relationship chapter underway and with more focus on a balance between your own and your relationship needs, it is the past that you are able to learn from.

It is just as Mars is settling into his first full week in your relationship sector that the Moon returns for its monthly visit to Aries, something that will see them clash. However, having already clashed with two of the five planets in Aries over the weekend and still closely aligned with Uranus in your communication sector, this is more a chance to cement a reminder when it comes to a balance between your own and your relationship needs.

Aries Planets

Ruled by Mars, the planet of action, energy, and desire, Aries is characterized by boldness, assertiveness, and drive. Mars imparts a natural leadership quality, encouraging Aries to take risks and pursue goals with vigor. This fiery planet governs physical vitality, making Aries energetic and often drawn to physical activities and sports.

During the Sun's transit through Aries, from approximately March 21 to April 19, it marks a period of renewal and fresh starts, amplifying Aries' natural enthusiasm and drive. The Sun in Aries brings a surge of confidence and a desire to assert individuality, making it an excellent time for initiating new projects and setting bold goals.

Mars's influence on Aries significantly impacts energy levels and the pursuit of ambitions. For instance, when Mars aligns with the Sun, it supercharges vitality and determination, making Aries unstoppable in their pursuits. On the other hand, a Mars-Saturn square may introduce challenges that test patience and perseverance, requiring Aries to channel their energy more strategically.

Mars's transits through different signs also notably affect Aries. When Mars transits through Aries itself, which happens approximately every two years, it marks a period of heightened activity and motivation. Aries individuals may feel an intense urge to take action and make significant strides toward their goals. This transit is ideal for tackling new challenges and pushing through obstacles with renewed vigor.

When Mars transits more passive signs like Pisces or Cancer, Aries needs to make adjustments. These periods encourage introspection and emotional growth, prompting a balance between usual assertiveness and empathy and sensitivity. Although these transits might slow down the usual pace, they provide valuable opportunities for personal development and deeper understanding.

Other significant planetary influences for Aries include Jupiter and Uranus. Jupiter's transit through Aries brings expansion and optimism, enhancing natural confidence and encouraging the embrace of new opportunities with enthusiasm. Uranus, known for unpredictability and innovation, spurs sudden changes and breakthroughs, prompting Aries to embrace new and unconventional paths.
