Aries yearly horoscope · 2026

2026 · UTC

I’m reading the year with Aries as your first solar house and counting the other houses from there. Saturn and Neptune begin in Pisces in your 12th house, then both enter Aries, your 1st house: Neptune on January 26 and Saturn on February 14. Their conjunction on February 20 is listed at no degree, so its exact orb cannot be stated. Together, the shift leans towards questions of identity and personal direction, while the 12th-house passage beforehand may suit quieter reflection. Saturn stations retrograde at 14°44′ Aries on July 26 and direct at 7°55′ Aries on December 10; Neptune stations retrograde at 4°25′ Aries on July 7 and direct at 1°36′ Aries on December 12. A station is the point when a planet appears to pause before changing apparent direction, often marking a review of its themes.

Pluto remains in Aquarius, your 11th house, and stations retrograde at 5°30′ on May 6 before turning direct at 3°04′ on October 16. Saturn sextile Pluto on March 28 is listed without degrees, so the orb is unavailable; a sextile is a supportive angle that can link personal resolve with group or longer-term aims. Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius on January 27 is also listed without degrees, and may intensify attention to shared causes or communities. Mars enters Aquarius on January 23, then moves into Pisces on March 2, Aries on April 9, Taurus on May 18, Gemini on June 28, Cancer on August 11, Leo on September 28 and Virgo on November 25. Its Pluto contacts include Mars sextile Pluto on April 16 in Aries and the 11th house, square Pluto on May 26 from Taurus in your 2nd house, and trine Pluto on July 5 from Gemini in your 3rd house. Degrees are not supplied, so exact orbs cannot be given. A square is a challenging angle; a trine is a smoother, cooperative one.

Uranus begins retrograde in Taurus in your 2nd house, stations direct at 27°27′ Taurus on February 4, enters Gemini and your 3rd house on April 26, then stations retrograde at 5°41′ Gemini on September 10. Its move into Gemini leans towards fresh, less predictable approaches to communication, learning and everyday information. Saturn sextile Uranus on January 20 is listed without degrees. Uranus sextile Neptune on July 15 and Uranus trine Pluto on July 18 are likewise listed without degrees; both suggest links between changing ideas, self-definition and wider networks. Uranus trine Pluto appears again on November 29. These aspects are worth noticing as background patterns, not fixed outcomes.

Jupiter begins retrograde in Cancer in your 4th house, stations direct at 15°05′ Cancer on March 11, enters Leo and your 5th house on June 30, then stations retrograde at 27°01′ Leo on December 13. The Cancer-to-Leo shift moves emphasis from home, roots and private life towards creativity, play and personal expression. Jupiter trine Neptune on July 20 is listed without degrees, as is Jupiter opposition Pluto that same day. An opposition is an angle of contrast, which may bring individual enjoyment and collective priorities into sharper view. The new and full moons through the year cycle across your solar houses, from the 10th-house Capricorn new moon on January 18 to the 4th-house Cancer full moon on December 24, offering recurring points of emphasis rather than predictions.

This is a general Aries horoscope using solar houses; your own birth chart says more.

What a Sun-sign horoscope is, and is not

• General: it reads the sky the same way for everyone born under Aries.
• It uses solar houses: Aries itself is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. This is a convention for Sun-sign readings; it is not your house system.
• It is not about you in particular. It does not know your birth time, rising sign or Moon sign.
• It describes what the sky is doing. It does not predict events and gives no health, money or legal advice.
• All dates and times are UTC.
