Aries Monthly Forecast

From the moment you move into the new month, there is change in the air and this is something that from the get go is going to have a positive impact on your relationships. When Mars returned to your relationship sector last month to begin the first planetary activity on the relationship front this year, he moved straight into an opposition with Saturn in Aries, making him the first planet to clash with Saturn here in three decades. While the planets returning to your relationship sector each year, clashing with planets in Aries is a given, with the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos defending your own needs and priorities for over nine decades. However, Saturn is the hard taskmaster of the cosmos and when confronted by the warrior planet of the cosmos, he stood his ground when it comes to a balance between your own and your relationship needs. Saturn will retrograde back out on 1st September, which means that by the time Mercury, the planet of communication returns to your relationship sector on 3rd September and the Sun on 23rd September, he will be gone. However, with the ice broken and roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined confronted when it comes to a balance between your own and your relationship needs. Meanwhile, while the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in your busy work sector, until she leaves a playful and creative part of your chart on 20th September, Venus will be working to keep things balanced. Also working to keep things balanced are the lunar nodes, which until July 2026 are working to maintain a balance between knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. This is something that will be pushed home when the Moon's return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart from 7th September to 9th September will see the North Node's proximity turn an ordinary Full Moon on 8th September into a total lunar eclipse.

Change is in the air on the romantic and relationship fronts this month, with matters of the heart which have dominated since Mars first returned to your romantic sector in November 2025 drawing to a close, while with a focus on your relationships that began with Mars' return to your relationship sector last month becoming more dominant. However, until Venus leaves your romantic sector on 20th September, ending all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year, the two will go side to side. As you move into the new month Mercury, who returned in late June for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page is still here, but will leave on 3rd September. This is when Venus, the planet of love will be on her own and as the last planet to return to your romantic sector and the last to leave, until she leaves on 20th September, she will be both working to bring things home and to make these some of the most romantically charged weeks of the year. Helping with that and especially when it comes to making Venus' final days as romantically charged as possible, will be the Moon's return to your romantic sector from 17th September to 20th September, with the two leaving within 16 minutes of each other. It is while the Moon and Venus are trying to squeeze as much out of the final days of all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year as possible that things will be moving into position on the relationship front. It is just before after six and a half weeks in your relationship sector Mars is getting ready to leave on 22nd September, that he will be joined by Mercury, who will return on 18th September to do what as the planet of communication he does best. Meanwhile, it is a day after Mars leaves that the Sun will return, something that on the September equinox each year will always turn the solar spotlight onto your relationships. Helping to ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware during this handover is having the Moon in your relationship sector from 22nd September to 24th September.
