From March 20th to April 19th, the Sun moves through Aries. The start of Aries season falls on the March Equinox, when we begin a new astrological cycle. So if you’ve been sleeping on your burning desires or putting off a passion project, the ram of the zodiac is spurring you to action, and it doesn’t care whether you’ve figured out a plan. Aries is a cardinal fire sign, which means it’s all about initiating the goals and dreams that make us feel more alive. If you’re suddenly itching to make a decision or just finally say, “I’m doing this,” that’s Aries entering the chat.

The coming weeks call for courage, assertiveness, and drive rather than endless emotional processing (you can save that for next Pisces season). So dare to make the first move, even if it’s uncomfortable. Aries is here to remind you that you can’t just wait for confidence to arrive — you summon it by taking risks and learning as you go along.

Full Moon in Libra: A little diplomacy goes a long way

But this time of year isn’t all about going solo. On April 1st, the Full Moon in Libra highlights where you could use more collaborative support and where your gutsy impulses are out of sync with other people’s needs. And because this Full Moon is approaching a square with Jupiter, it’s offering you plenty of momentum and ample opportunities for growth — if you’re willing to be as honest as possible, especially with yourself. Libra values fairness, not self-denial, so notice where you’ve been over-compromising to keep the peace. This Full Moon is an ideal moment to manage expectations, review agreements, and reassess dynamics that no longer feel sustainable. When you advocate for yourself with clarity and compassion, it’s easier for everyone to understand one another.

New Moon in Aries: You’re allowed to want this

The New Moon in Aries on April 17th kicks off a bold new chapter — and it might strike a nerve. The big reset energy is real, but it could be unusually intense. This New Moon is conjunct Chiron (the minor planet associated with healing), and both aggressive Mars and no-nonsense Saturn are also nearby. In other words, any intentions you set around this date may stir up old regrets and disappointments. This lunation isn’t here to hold your hand, but it’s not meant to discourage you — it wants to show you how much you’ve survived and how capable you are. Use your past hurts as information, not as warnings for the future. Let your fears sharpen your focus instead of slowing you down. This New Moon asks you to rise to the occasion, claim your agency, and begin again.

From February 18th to March 20th, the Sun glides through Pisces. ’Tis the season for charging your crystals, tapping into your intuition, and keeping a box of tissues nearby at all times. This mutable water sign is known for being compassionate, imaginative, and highly sensitive. So if you want to spruce up your vision board, dust off your art supplies, or volunteer for a cause that’s close to your heart, go for it. But it also may be easier than usual to absorb other people’s emotions and deplete your own energy — especially because this Pisces season features an eclipse. Over the coming month, resist the temptation to martyr yourself, and set clear boundaries to prevent burnout. Saying no can keep you anchored to what really matters to you.

Lunar eclipse in Virgo: Don’t sweat the small stuff

If you have any unhelpful patterns of perfectionism, self-criticism, or micromanaging, they’ll be activated by the lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd. Eclipses are known to spark beginnings and endings and speed up plotlines. And because this eclipse takes place near the South Node, a point in space associated with release, it’s an excellent time to let go of the habits and strategies that don’t work for you anymore. But you don’t have to take action to make this process happen. Lie low around March 3rd, and avoid making major decisions if you can. Any intense emotions or harsh judgments that this eclipse brings up are showing you what needs to be composted and transformed into something more supportive. This moment is part of a longer story that started with the first Virgo eclipse in this series, which occurred on March 13th, 2025. Reflect on the themes or issues that came up around that date and consider what’s resurfacing for you now. And stay open to what’s shifting, but don’t try to make sense of all these changes just yet. You’ll have more clarity once the dust of eclipse season has settled.

New Moon in Pisces: Dream a little dream (or a big one)

New Moons are fresh starts. And the New Moon in Pisces on March 18th is a chance to set intentions for bringing more empathy and idealism into your life. You don’t need to nail down all the details of what you want to manifest, though. Focus on the big picture and think expansively about what feels good to you. And any activities that put you into a flow state, such as meditating or making art, are especially useful around this time. This New Moon gets a helpful boost from Uranus, the planet of disruption, so this is also a great opportunity to gently shake up your old ways of doing things. Challenge yourself to envision out-there possibilities and experiment with unfamiliar approaches. It’s never too late to begin again.

‍

From January 19th to February 18th, the Sun moves through innovative, free-thinking Aquarius. This transit is your chance to lead with your geekiness. Forget what everyone else is saying, reading, or doing. What topics and causes fascinate you, and how can you give yourself permission to do your own thing? When the Sun is in this fixed air sign, we can solve complex problems and improve the quality of life for all. But we have to be willing to do some research and entertain some out-there ideas. So go ahead — let your brainstorming take you to unexpected places. And bring your discoveries to any groups that could benefit from your insights. The more you embrace your unique brilliance, the more you’ll have to offer up to the collective.

Full Moon in Leo: Spotlight on you

The Full Moon in Leo on February 1st shines a light on what’s emerging in your creativity, self-expression, and — yes — your hunger for attention. If there’s an art project you’ve been keeping under wraps or an accomplishment you’ve been meaning to celebrate, this is a powerful moment to share it with an audience. But if you’re getting frustrated, stubborn, or competitive around this Full Moon, keep your ego in check by applauding someone else. You don’t lose any of your specialness when you honor what other people have to contribute.

Solar eclipse in Aquarius: The future is downloading

The solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17th is shaking up your community organizing, your activist work, and all the ways you show up for your social circles. Stay alert to surprises, curveballs, and frayed nerves. Eclipses tend to speed up plotlines and add a sense of urgency to our decision-making — but there’s no rush, so don’t push yourself. Instead, lie low and rest up as much as possible around this date. The lessons you’re meant to learn from this eclipse will keep cropping up throughout the weeks to come.
