Aries Monthly Forecast

What makes the changes this month significant is the change in the dynamics of the year itself and the different partnerships this will create. On the one hand, Venus' departure from your communication sector and return to your home and family sector on 31st July and Mars' departure from your work sector and return to your relationship sector on 7th August aren't major events. This is something that, on average Venus will do every 24 days and Mars every six weeks. However, after playing her part in settling Uranus into what will be an eight year transit through your communication sector, Venus is joining Jupiter to get a powerful year for home, family and/or property matters off the ground. At the same time, after doing what he can to fire things up on the job front or with whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time and setting things up for when the Sun returns on 23rd August, Mars leaves to begin his first visit to your relationship sector in two years and the first planetary activity on the relationship front since October 2024. From the start, Mars is able to take advantage of the weeks Venus has just spent in your communication sector, where she was on a mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice. This will see Mars form a partnership with Uranus in your communication sector and Pluto in your friendship sector that brings you to the start of some powerful months across the communication, social and relationship fronts. This is something that a Full Moon on 9th August will not only capture but with Mars, Uranus and Pluto all at a friendly aspect at the time, this could lead to some unexpected, serendipitous or eureka moments. Meanwhile, until leaving a playful and creative part of your chart on 23rd August to take advantage of the paths Mars has been able to forge on the busy side of life's fence, the Sun will be working to maintain a balance between work and play.

The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your romantic sector and the solar spotlight is always on matters of the heart and all things romantic at this time of year. Yet, before the Sun even returned last month a huge amount of water had already passed under the bridge. Not only had it been nearly four weeks since Mercury returned 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, when he returned towards the end of June, it had only been 10 days since Mars left, ending his longest visit in two decades. By the time Mars left in June, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos had spent five of the last seven months here. As you move into the new month, Mercury is not only still here, but until turning direct on 11th August, is holding the doors open to the past and second chances. Even when the Sun leaves on 23rd August, this will be far from the end of the journey the love gods are taking your heart on, with Mercury not leaving until early next month and held back by her own retrograde phase earlier in the year Venus, the planet of love not returning until 26th August. Because of all the water that will have passed under the bridge by then, as the last planet to return and the last to leave, Venus' return will begin what she will be working to make the most romantically charged weeks of the year. Meanwhile, coming full circle from the New Moon late last month, the Moon's return from 21st August to 23rd August will bring it back together with the Sun, with romantically charged solar and lunar vibes able to reunite. Meanwhile, there are big developments on the relationship front this month as well with Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos returning for his first visit to your relationship sector in two years on 7th August. Not leaving until 22nd September, a day before the Sun is due to return, this kicks off the first planetary activity on the relationship front this year, with built in support from the communication gods from the start.
