Today's Aries Planetary Horoscope

In the heart of the working week, having the Moon in your career sector was always going to be an advantage. However, just as a friendly aspect to the Sun in your work sector was already making this a good day on both fronts, they are joined by Mercury. Held back by a retrograde phase, Mercury is late to return to your work sector this year but returns with a chance to get your head in the game just as the Moon is sharpening your professional instincts and the Sun has the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options. With an eclipsing Full Moon coming up that will put more weight on the lunar nodes policing of your work/life balance, this can help you work smarter.

Planetary Love

Over two months after returning to your romantic sector for what is normally a 14 to 15 day mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, Mercury finally leaves today. This shifts the focus to Venus, who as the last planet to return and the last to leave, is on a mission to make the next few weeks as romantically charged as possible, in a way that only the planet of love can.

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.
