The cosmic reset button: courage first, certainty later
March 20, 2026 · ♈ Aries In 31 days
What Sun in Aries Means
Aries season begins on March 20, and with it, the astrological new year. This is the reset, the moment when the entire zodiac wheel returns to zero and pure initiation energy floods the atmosphere. Every year, Aries season reminds us that we have the power to begin again. But in 2026, that reminder comes with a megaphone.
Here's why: Saturn and Neptune are both in Aries now, joining the Sun for a rare convergence of personal will, spiritual vision, and structural discipline in the same sign. Saturn in Aries demands that we take our ambitions seriously, not just dream about them, but commit to them with real effort and accountability. Neptune in Aries spiritualizes the act of beginning, suggesting that the new chapters we start now aren't random; they're divinely guided. Together, these outer planets transform Aries season from a burst of impulsive energy into a sacred initiation.
This is the season to launch what you've been preparing. Start the business. Have the conversation. Book the trip. Make the move. The universe isn't asking you to have it all figured out. It's asking you to be brave enough to take the first step. Aries energy rewards action over analysis, courage over certainty. Whatever you set into motion during these four weeks carries the momentum of an entire astrological year behind it. Don't waste this fire.
How Sun in Aries Affects Your Sign
Select your Sun, Moon, or Rising sign for a personalized reading.
Aries
This is your season. And in 2026, it's supercharged. With Saturn and Neptune in your sign alongside the Sun, your birthday month feels less like a celebration and more like a coronation. The universe is handing you serious responsibility paired with spiritual clarity. Set intentions that will define the next several years. You're not beginning a new chapter; you're laying the foundation of an entirely new story.
Taurus
The Sun moves through your 12th house of the subconscious, solitude, and endings. While the world races forward with Aries energy, you're being called inward. This is your annual period of rest before your birthday season begins. Let go of what's complete. Forgive what needs forgiving. The quiet inner work you do now directly determines the quality of what unfolds when the Sun enters Taurus.
Gemini
Your 11th house of friendships, groups, and future visions is activated. And social energy picks up dramatically. You're drawn to bold, entrepreneurial people who are building something new. A group project or community initiative could launch during this period. The friends you make or reconnect with during Aries season push you toward the version of yourself you've been hesitant to become.
Cancer
Aries season illuminates your 10th house of career and public reputation. One of the most professionally dynamic periods of your year. With Saturn and Neptune both in your career house, the work you're called to in 2026 has genuine weight and spiritual purpose. Career moves made now have long-term consequences. Step into leadership, especially if it feels uncomfortable.
Leo
The Sun activates your 9th house of higher learning, travel, and expansion. Aries season fills you with wanderlust and intellectual hunger. You want to go further, learn more, think bigger. International connections or educational pursuits benefit from your bold energy. If you've been planning a trip or considering a new field of study, this transit hands you the courage to commit.
Virgo
Your 8th house of shared finances, intimacy, and transformation is lit up by the Aries Sun. Financial matters involving others (taxes, debts, joint investments) demand decisive action. On a psychological level, Aries season is asking you to stop analyzing your wounds and start acting on the healing insights you've already gathered. Courage, not caution, is your medicine right now.
Libra
Aries season activates your 7th house of partnerships, placing the focus squarely on relationships. With Saturn and Neptune both in your relationship house this year, partnerships carry unusual depth and significance. New connections feel fated. Existing ones face a demand for honesty and mutual growth. Avoid people-pleasing. The most loving thing you can do is be direct.
Scorpio
The Sun moves through your 6th house of health, work, and daily habits. And Aries energy here is a call to action. Start the fitness routine. Restructure your workday. Address the health concern you've been sitting on. Your body responds powerfully to initiative right now. Don't wait for the perfect plan. Start with what you have and adjust as you go.
Sagittarius
Your 5th house of creativity, romance, and joy lights up during Aries season. And as a fellow fire sign, you feel this energy in your bones. Creative inspiration is abundant and spontaneous. Romantic connections feel exciting and adventurous. If you have children, they may surprise you with their courage. Let yourself be bold in self-expression. The world needs your fire.
Capricorn
Aries season activates your 4th house of home, family, and roots. Domestic matters demand action: a move, a renovation, a difficult family conversation, a decision about how you want to live. With Saturn (your ruling planet) now in Aries, the foundations you build during this period are meant to last. Take your home life as seriously as you take your career.
Aquarius
The Sun illuminates your 3rd house of communication, learning, and local connections. Your mind is sharp and your words carry unusual force. Excellent timing for writing, teaching, pitching ideas, or starting a new course of study. Conversations with siblings or neighbors may spark important developments. Speak with intention. What you say during Aries season has a way of becoming real.
Pisces
Your 2nd house of income and self-worth is activated by the bold Aries Sun. This is a powerful transit for taking financial initiative. Negotiating a raise, launching a new income stream, investing in yourself. With Neptune now in Aries, the way you earn money is evolving to better reflect your spiritual values. Don't undercharge for your gifts. The world is ready to pay for what you offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does Aries season start in 2026?
Aries season begins around March 20, 2026, at the Spring Equinox. This marks the astrological new year, the moment when the Sun enters the first sign of the zodiac and the energy shifts dramatically from Pisces' introspective quality to Aries' bold, action-oriented approach. Think of it as the cosmos hitting refresh.
What does the Sun in Aries mean in astrology?
The Sun in Aries represents initiation, courage, and direct action. This is when the energy of the zodiac year is at its most pioneering. Aries is ruled by Mars, so this season brings increased motivation, competitiveness, and a willingness to take risks. It's the universe's way of saying: stop waiting, start doing.
Why is the Spring Equinox important in astrology?
The Spring Equinox marks 0 degrees Aries, the starting point of the tropical zodiac. It's the moment when day and night reach equal length, symbolizing balance before the light half of the year begins. Astrologically, it represents the pivot point where potential turns into action, making it one of the most powerful times for new beginnings.
Is Aries season good for starting new things?
It's the best time of the year for it. The energy supports bold moves, initiative, and cutting through whatever has been holding you back. Confidence comes more easily, and there's less second-guessing than usual. Just be mindful of rushing in without basic planning or burning out from pushing too hard too fast.
How does Aries season affect my energy levels?
Most people notice a real uptick in physical energy and restlessness during Aries season. You may feel more impatient, more motivated to move your body, or compelled to start multiple things at once. This can be incredibly productive when channeled well, but it can also lead to impulsive decisions or starting things you don't finish. Finding healthy outlets for the fire is key.
