Aries, part of your natural maturation as a sign is knowing (and applying) the difference between impulsiveness and intentionality. You\u2019re great at both, though being intentional will always benefit you while impulsivity may see you stay in that young Aries loop of stopping and starting, stopping and starting over and over again. To this end, last year provided you with two very specific snapshots of new ways to experience and express your action-taking fire sign.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worth taking the time to reflect on what came up for you when Saturn first moved into Aries from May 24 – September 1 as it was a taste test for what may be on the menu over the next three years, as Saturn re-enters your sign from February 13 (until April 2028). As a sign ruled by Mars, there is a strong urge for the instant gratification of your desires, “I want this and I want it now”. Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn and is like the architect looking at your long term: what are you building and why? Is this aligned with your values, what are the foundations you are building upon? What is your relationship to time and how are you in commitment to your wants, needs and desires not just in the short term but through time? Saturn is deeply related to karma, but when I say karma I mean it in the context of, \u2018what you reap is what you sow\u2019.<\/p>\n

Over the next three years, you will have many opportunities to see how your current ways of being (in all areas) are playing out for you, are you reaping a life that feels in integrity to who you are? What are you sowing through your habits, your actions, your patterns etc? Saturn is a sign of self-mastery. You can use this transit in a way that will benefit you not just now but over the long term of your life. Take note of what comes up this year and contemplate, what are the foundations of my life and the life I am building? This theme of birthing and building continues throughout 2026 for you (and into the coming years too).<\/p>\n

Neptune will re-enter your sign, after being here from March 30 – October 22, 2025. On January 26, it will take up residence in Aries until 2039. Neptune is linked to everything non-tangible, such as our intuition, our imagination and dream worlds (a.k.a. our visioning capacity). You already have a strong primal instinct and with this transit, you are opening to more of your own visions, which you have the will and action energy (married with the strategy and practical application of Saturn) to bring into form. Couple this with Uranus re-entering Gemini in your own 3rd house of communication in late April and we have a wealth of new ideas, perspectives and possibilities streaming in from left of field.<\/p>\n
The whole gameboard is changing. And the more that you trust your instincts and lean into intention over impulsivity, the more that you stand at the helm of your own life.<\/p>\n
