Mars in Aries, Chiron in Aries
Between Friday, April 10th, 2026, and May 18th, 2026 (around five weeks) you will experience Mars and Chiron both transiting the zodiac sign of Aries. This happens in your First House of image, branding, self-promotion, identity and title.
This is an unusual cycle as we also find not only Mars and Chiron, but also the Sun, Mercury, a New Moon, Saturn and Neptune in Aries too – for some of that time. This brings an intense focus on how you appear to the world. How you defend and also attack, too.
Aries the Ram
Aries the Ram is a fire sign, ruled by Mars the Roman god of war. Aries is masculine, and rules the First House of ‘me first’ thinking and action. Aries is fearless, energetic, assertive. Aries can be aggressive and even violent. Aries is certainly competitive and combative.
Mars the red planet (it even appears red without a telescope) is associated with red fire engines, the red stop button on a traffic light which impatient people and drivers ignore – and red alerts.
Chiron is a symbol of audacity, chutzpah and temerity. Chiron is the gadfly or heretic. The late, great astrologer Dennis Elwell gave us a great definition for Chiron – as does Zane Stein. Chiron is a maverick. Now, if you can imagine all that, with Aries attitude – you get a sense of what it will be like!
Your Solar Chart
Where is the heat, the speed and the encouragement to experiment? Where are the obvious risks if you go too far and too fast? Mars and Chiron, along with these other Aries factors, points to public outcomes, as well as private ones.
Privately, with anything in Aries in your natal First House, it’s all about the external person. Your identity. Maybe your ID. Publicly, the areas of life, below, are where you will see a lot happen very quickly.
- ARIES Image, brand, appearance, self-interest, self-promotion, profile, reputation, publicity, packaging. Name, face, wardrobe, style, brand.
- PISCES Money, business, charity, value, communism, socialism, economy, possessions, property, charity. Shares, ethics, business, theft.
- AQUARIUS Multimedia, publishing, internet, words, ideas, images, journalism, books, public speaking. Commuting, short-distance travel.
- CAPRICORN Mothers, home, family, home town, country, patriotism, roots, heritage, houses, apartments, home exchanges. Ancestors.
- SAGITTARIUS Children, babies, young adults. Youth projects. Junior generations. Lovers who could make you a parent/aunt/uncle. Millennials and Generation Y. Teaching, mentoring, guiding.
- SCORPIO The Body. Daily routine, lifestyle, work ethic, service, duty, food, drink, drugs, doctors, healers, surgery, exercise. The COVID-19 factor.
- LIBRA Partners. Partnerships. Former, current and potential partners. Sexuality and love. Commitment. Gender politics and feminism.
- VIRGO Power and money. Sex and money. Death and money. Basically – property/finance in power-based ties. Life insurance, wills and mortgages.
- LEO Travel. Travel in the mind. Academia, education, publishing, beliefs, foreign or regional differences, the internet. Foreigners.
- CANCER Ambition. Social climbing. Social status. Achievement. Being at the top of the hierarchy. ‘Making it.’ Success, status, position and mission.
- GEMINI Groups. Friends. People power. Clubs, societies, associations, political parties, bands, teams, Twitter networks. Acquaintances, allies.
- TAURUS Drugs and alcohol. Meditation. Mediumship. Secrets. Operating behind the scenes without any credit/visibility. Religion.
Chiron, Mars and You
It’s unusual to see Mars staying such a long time in his own sign, Aries. Mars is the old Roman symbol of the warrior and is a warning (like a red light) of the potential for conflict. It’s good to be aware of that. Astrology is about sidestepping battles. In fact, this entire period is about choosing your battles wisely.
Aries is upfront, front-and-centre. In your face and here to be in the front line. That is why we do associate this transit with aggression but also the armed forces.
The fact that Mars is in the same sign and house as Chiron, a symbol of ‘shooting for the impossible’ suggests a really important period of extra action, less patience, less time, less tolerance, more heat, more potential for a duel or stand-off. It’s far from dull. But it also has risks.
As I said, you have to pick your battles. You also need to know that Chiron is with you for the last time now, in Aries, so you don’t have to react as if everything was about the next seven days, or even the next seven weeks. This is a situation which requires a strategy. You are actually ending a cycle. Read more about this Chiron cycle here.
Your Mars Return – Carrying Mars in Aries
If you were born with Mars in Aries you will have your Mars Return now. Be really aware of the potential for your time and energy to be taken up by something you do not need to fight for or against – regarding your image.
You are carrying Aries here. Weigh it up carefully. (Photograph:Foyn/Unsplash)
Read more about Mars in your chart here.
Do You Have Any Aries Factors?
If you were born with Aries planets, asteroids, points or angles in your First House of image, then your profile, reputation, name and appearance will be far more important than usual, in this 2026 transit.
You can read more about the First House here.
This may be your profile on Twitter, for example, Facebook, Instagram and so on. This cycle is very much about the social me-me-me-me-me-media of Facebook and Instagram which are an expression of Aries and the First House. I am writing this prediction on 20th May 2024, so looking two years into the future. By the time you read this in 2026, there will likely be other social media start-ups. We’d be looking at the fierce competition between different websites where you are a headshot, a profile, a title, a name. Those are all expression of Aries.
Aries is also about battling the opponents, so this entire period looks like being pivotal for social media. Or me-me-me-media.
The Long Call to Action in 2026
What you are going to experience is a really long call to action. Mars blows the bugle and shoots the starting pistol. However, Mars is also notorious for wasting your time and energy on conflicts. You will need a ‘Me’ plan for a substantial part of this new cycle. A thoughtful approach which honours the fact that this is not going to be a short burst of energy over five weeks. You may have to revisit what is said or done, later. That may help to slow you down. When dealing with people or organisations which push too hard and too fast, in matters of image, reputation, appearance (yours!) remember you can set the agenda. You do not have to respond in the heat of the moment.
Chiron in your First House is about what you can get away with. Experiments. Risks. Stretching the known limits of what is possible, or acceptable, or ‘the done thing.’ Just remember that what goes on the internet, stays on the internet. And this is your photograph or your name.
This takes us into areas like CCTV, facial recognition technology, the use of AI or Artificial Intelligence to deep fake your face, name – even into moving images. In fact, around this period, we might expect the aggressive deep fakes by the enemy to become the motivation for major changes in the laws on AI. By the time Mars has finished in Aries on 18th May 2026 that situation would be set up.
The Aries Weather of 2026
If you were born with Uranus or Pluto in Libra, the sign of sex, marriage, dating and partnerships – you are in a challenging new cycle at this time and if your marriage is rocky then, or a relationship is on shaky ground, then these oppositions to come from a variety of factors may well be the tipping point in April and May 2026.
We often see a Full Moon as the catalyst and the Full Moon in Libra against the Sun in Aries takes place on 2nd April 2026. The classic Libra-Aries issues here are ‘we’ versus ‘me’ and ‘us’ versus ‘myself.’
What happens when a whole tribe of heavily Aries people, who have that sign prominent in their charts, all get together? Well this is group firepower. Pluto is in Aquarius, the sign of the group, in 2026 as well. We would expect these quite explosive transits of April, May 2026 to be a catalyst for these kinds of groups. Some of them will be digital warriors, as you see here. Others will be armed. That’s a red flag.
Uranus in Libra People
Aged around to 45 to 52, you have a history of unpredictable breaks, and breakthroughs, in your partnerships. You were born with Uranus, a symbol of radical change, revolution and independence, in the sign of Libra – in the Seventh House of marriage and common law marriage (living together)
You will experience oppositions from Mars (Mars opposite Uranus) as he moves across your chart. Your transits will be more dramatic if you were born with factors at 5-12 Libra because Saturn will be in opposition. And again, if you have factors at 2-4 Libra, Neptune will be in opposition.
These are rare, slow transits and so the tests of the marriage, de facto relationship, common law marriage, partnership or other duet will also be quite rare and slow. The long tests.
If there are already ‘me’ issues versus ‘we’ issues in your partnership, then you will be challenged to change, if you were born in these date brackets.
Have a look at the marriage or relationship patterns in your parents’ partnership, particularly if it involved divorce or a change in gender/sexual preference. That can be useful in 2026 if you want to figure out your own patterns. This is not the usual wedding cake, the same old recipe or the regular ingredients. You will be dividing relationships differently.
- Sep 28, 1968, to May 20, 1969
- Jun 24, 1969, to Nov 21, 1974
- May 1, 1975, to Sep 8, 1975
Pluto in Libra People
If you were born with Pluto in Libra in the Seventh House of marriage, partnership and dating, then you need to control what happens in your relationship, more than most people. You can be obsessive, dominating and take over. Aged 36 to 49 some of you will also have Uranus in Libra too. (For example, if you were born in 1973).
If you want to analyse what is going on with love and sex in 2026, begin with your childhood and adolescence and look at the impact that your parents’ relationship with each other had on you. You are going to experience Mars opposite your Pluto at some point in April and May 2026. (Photo by Anna Earl at Unsplash)

The Two Sexes and Identity
This seems like a predictable period of revived warfare about the two sexes, male and female. As I write this in May 2025, the battle is being well and truly won by activists who are fighting against the War On Women, but as Libra is the sign of equality between men and women, we could expect real heat behind this in April and May 2026. So, this is about little girls and little boys.
How the United States Chart is Triggered
You don’t really need to be an astrologer to know that we are going to see war risks as usual in these Aries transits. In fact, the chart for the old Civil War in America is triggered. Nothing to do with men dressed as women (above). Everything to do with some very old charts which show the civil war and also the war against Great Britain. We also see a higher risk of domestic battles; internal conflicts between, say, neighbouring states or political parties.
We have more than one chart for the United States, because she has a number of different ‘beginnings’ and restarts in her history. They all show hotspots around that Aries point that’s being pushed in 2026. She has Mars at 13 Aries and again at 14 Aries in three separate charts, at least – and that’s an overheated hotspot. In fact, Aries surfaces consistently in the American charts, which may explain the gun and war culture. Packing heat.
This data is from The Book of World Horoscope by Nicholas Campion (The Wessex Astrologer, 2004).
State Differences in the USA
You would be watching the whole of April and May as a high-risk period for not only war, but also ‘lone wolf’ gunman type attacks. Of course, knives have replaced guns, and bombs are also sadly an instrument of war. Mars, the old Roman god of war has always ruled Aries.
Yet, it may not be until we get to the actual Saturn-Mars conjunctions on June 11th until September 11th, as Saturn goes back and forth across 13, 14 degrees of Aries, that we really see this go to the White House in a dramatic and unforgettable way.
This looks like an historic challenge to the gun laws in the USA. As I write this in 2024, we are already seeing the quite deliberate promotion of anti-abortion and pro-abortion agendas. You’d have to be asleep not to realise this has been massaged to life by people who want to split the power of the states against each other.
Men who self-identify as women is another massaged, manufactured issue. Again, it divides people. Can lone gunman style shootings also be manufactured? There are many who say, yes, an enemy government can do this in order to stimulate a split in, say, individual states and their gun control. Watch 2026 closely for this.
The US Charts and the UK in 2026
The chart set for April 30th, 1789 at 12.45 LMT in New York shows the swearing in of the first President, George Washington. It’s the final act in the creation of the United States of America and it took place at Federal Hall. This chart shows Mars at 13 Aries.
This is in opposition to Neptune at 13 Libra in the USA Pilgrim Fathers’ chart set for December 21st, 1620, at 6.00am in Plymouth, MA. This was the start of British colonisation. The alternative reality of the Special Relationship with the United Kingdom is shown here.
There is a link with the Moon at 13 Sagittarius in the Battle of Lexington chart set for April 19th, 1775 at 5.00am in Lexington MA. This is the war of independence chart. I’m sure you know Sagittarius rules foreigners. So all these are embedded in the charts.
They show the UK-US ties in particular. This becomes triggered in 2026.
The Special Relationship
We have a chart for the USA set for July 2nd, 1776, at 12.00 LMT in Philadelphia PA which shows serious, sombre Saturn just one degree away from this pattern at 14 Libra. Again, this is the special relationship with Great Britain. Not so special.
The July 4th, 1776, chart set for 2.17 LMT in Philadelphia shows the Sun at 12 Cancer, which is pretty close. This is the national identity. By the time we get to 10.30am (the alternative time) we are seeing the Sun at 13 Cancer, an exact square to the overheated, aggressive Mars at 13 Aries in 2020. It’s the same for the chart set for 2.00pm the same day and also 4.50pm and 5.10pm! There is no escaping that square.
A square, which you probably know, shows what cannot be squared. What cannot be compromised. So 2026 is pivotal for US-UK relations. They stood shoulder to shoulder on 9/11 but where will they stand when we see these transits in Aries?
1776 and All That
Throughout 1776, we have Saturn at 14 Libra on key dates for America, so we have troublesome hotspots at 13-14 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, Aries to watch in 2020. It is even picked up in the USA Confederation chart set for November 15th, 1777, at 12.00 LMT in Philadelphia PA. Here Uranus (shock, revolution, independence, upheaval) is at 14 Gemini. This sign rules the worldwide web and media.
The September 3rd, 1783, chart set for 10.30am in Paris, France. The Treaty of Paris is full legal independence. So, for the most difficult and complicated reasons, these long Aries transits do look like historic complication for the US and UK, and their allies.
The USA Civil War chart set for April 12th, 1861, in Charleston SC at 4.30am shows Venus at 14 Aries.
What is really different about these Aries transits in 2026 is the presence of Uranus in Gemini. So that is a revolution with the neighbours.
This looks like individual states in the US making quite radical decisions. Of course, it has long been the Kremlin’s dream to split the US and divide her along state lines and so in 2026 we will see if this fantasy becomes a reality. We might expect America’s enemies to try quite hard to divide her states against each other.
Gun laws seems like a path to that. The challenge for us all as Mars and Chiron race through Aries in 2026, a very big Aries transit year, is to find others ways to get what we want and need, than butting heads or using a battering ram. The challenge is to remember what unites us, not what divides us, and find a peaceful way through.

Hi Jessica
First I really appreciated read you everyday ,has been a big help to understand what happens on my life.
Amazing how this post match with so many of my positions and come together on my Birth Chart ..never before!
I have Mars 27° Aries 52′ 57 ,Chiron 16° Aries 26′ 32″ R ,Uranus 26° Libra 47′ 41 and Pluto 06° Libra 40′ 05″.
How this positions on today’s sky can affected me in the near future?
thank you very much Jessica
Thank you. You are strongly Aries-Libra so will be personally affected by these transits in 2020, 2021. Your main issue will be what is fair between men and women. What is fair in terms of gender. This will come up now but it will be on two levels – personal (a particular male or female triggers those questions about sexism, equality, fairness) and also on a wider level, as a trend in society. Figuring out the whole male-female balance in life will take you a few months, involve a bit of reading, quite a lot of discussion and the ability to leave Mars outside in the car park. Mars wants conflict but you do not have to go along with this cycle. Look for what progress might actually mean on both the female and male side. This cycle is primarily about a gigantic leap!
Hi Jessica
That was SO very interesting and informative. I followed the links and learned so many fascinating things about Chiron and am going to pick up a copy of The Centaur. I have to say though, it all was also a little concerning. I am living in America and what you said towards the end is unsettling to say the least. On top of that, my husband (22Aug1973) has both Pluto and Uranus in Libra. He just got to work at his very new job and texted that he was really happy in his new position and new home and hopes I feel the same. Just when I thought things may finally be smooth sailing……Strangely, last night I had a dream I couldn’t breathe. There were also protests in the dream. My son was with me and he was much younger (he is 22). I don’t remember much more just that I woke up trying to catch my breath.
Thank you. Dreams are starting to enter the conversation on this website, which is interesting. I recently began working with the dream counsellor Jane Teresa Anderson and have been talking to my colleague Kyra Oser about psychic dreams. You can find Jane Teresa and Kyra online at their websites. Your dream was vivid, to the point where you were catching your breath when you woke up. Have a look at that. Sometimes sitting down with a notebook is the way to decode the message. The United States is in the zone for sweeping transformation and will be a different country after 2023. It begins now and there is no ‘permanent’ with work, money, property or anything else. Accepting regular change and working with it, adapting to it and being flexible enough to move around it is a wise thing to do. America is in the same cycle as 1781 when she threw out the British, began the long road to changing the sugar and cotton industry and got a new constitution. The people who did best then were those who ‘met change with change’ and that is exactly what you and your husband are going to have to do.
Dear Jessica, this all spells trouble again..I have been on a not so fun roller coaster ride since 2013 to say the least. In practically every area of life and quite frankly I am not sure how much more I can take. I am so ready for some peace, quiet and steadiness. Can you perhaps give me any pointers of what I can expect on a personal level with my aries stellium (Sun at 13 degrees ) and Pluto in Libra at 7 degrees? Warmest wishes, S
Astrology is useful because it alerts you to situations you avoid, to have just the kind of peaceful life you want. So all you need to do in 2020-2021, S, is to steer clear of potential friction. When you feel irritated or even downright confronted by other people, decide if you actually gain from wading into what could b e a long and drawn-out situation. Do you really need it? These two, Mars and Chiron, in the sign of Aries, are also square the Cancer and Capricorn placements of people around you (the cardinal signs) as well as an entire generation born with Pluto or Uranus in Libra. So be aware of floating heat! You do not have to contribute. Now and again there will be something worth getting involved with. Truly. For most of this period, you can see it, and sidestep it.
Hi Jessica,
Hope you are well and thank you for this great article.
I have Mars and Chiron in Aries; as well as both Uranus and Pluto in Libra – so it sounds like an intense half of the year coming up for me. Please could you take a look at my chart and let me know what I should be focusing on.
Thanks in advance,
All the best,
Agnes
Thank you Agnes. Well the basic rule now through 2021 is to feel the annoyance or anger, let it go, and then act later (or maybe not act at all). We are moving through a really challenging time, when we need to pick our battles. And then decide how to fight them, if fight is even the right word. It’s unusual to see Mars hang around like this in your sector of brand, image, name, reputation, appearances and these are the areas where you most need to slow down and cool down. It can and does have an impact on the relationship you share with your former, current or potential partner so when in doubt – don’t. Mars and Chiron together can cut through a lot very quickly, but too quickly and often with too much force. Just bear that in mind especially if you see it in others. It is a natural human feeling to want to push back, when others apply any pressure. What helps with all this? Boundaries. Really strong, firm boundaries. Distance.
Hi Jessica,
I’m one of those who has Pluto in Libra. Is there anything I should look out for in 2020-2021?
Thanks,
Cherry
Pluto in Libra in the Seventh House describes your whole generation, Cherry, but you also feel it personally with dating, mating and relating. Also any separating you have done, from lovers and partners. Pluto is a symbol of domination and control. It is a symbol of power. You can imagine how this works in the delicate business of a sexual relationship and while you are experiencing this strong Aries weather in your First House of self-interest, it is really important to try and avoid ‘heavying’ the other person, or being too heavy about matters like marriage, common-law marriage or sexual relationships. If you are curious about Pluto in Libra in the Seventh House, remember your generation was born to parents who had new, radically different laws to love by. No fault divorce is the key one. The pill was another. So you incarnated to experiment with the idea of what love should be. Your generation has made gay and lesbian marriage legal in so many countries. Yet, there are new questions to answer about how men and women are going to make it work together and that will directly affect you by 2021.
Hi Jessica I hope you are well and safe. I have Libra in Uranus and Pluto being 1973 born, my husband was born a week after me on 8th Feb. Interesting times ahead? I would love an insight and how I can navigate it all.
The easiest way to handle Aries-Libra weather is to swap sides. Libra is the scales. Walk over from your side to his, and coax him (or charm him) into doing the same for you. When you are both at each other’s end of the spectrum you get a better idea of what is fair. There has to be that kind of willingness to see it from the other point of view or nothing will really change. In fact you can get stand-off situations. The ultimate result, with any luck, will be a big leap of progress for both of you and a reshaped new world to live in.
Hi Jessica. I have Libra in Uranus and Pluto being 1973 born, my husband was born a week after me on 8th Feb. Interesting times ahead? I would love an insight and how I can navigate it all.
Yes, the two of you will experience the long, slow transits of Mars and Chiron in the First House of ‘myself’ while you are both geared towards finding ‘us’ through your marriage. The next few months, into early 2021, will really be about finding ways to achieve what is fair. There will probably be issues here about your being female and him being male, and the rather unequal world we all live in. Libra is about the scales which need to be balanced by opposing genders. If feminism or the men’s movement has not crept into your marriage it probably will. The trick is how the new situation is negotiated. Mars and Chiron can be impulsive and too overheated. Watch that. Yet, by mid-2021 you will both have negotiated something quite new and different as at the moment there are too many unanswered questions or untackled issues. These can’t really be left hanging so at some point you are both going to have to go in and do the work.
It seems almost unreal that the world has changed so dramatically so quickly. A few months back I mentioned the words of another psychic who long ago spoke of civil unrest in america this year, and my friends laughed at me, it was such an impossible idea. You have pinpointed with science these astrological factors in the usa and just how powerful an understanding of astrology is. On a personal level, this morning I woke from a dramatic dream with my late mother (I never have dreamed of her before), we had had in life a relationship with tension, only after her death did I realise it was due to her ptsd from WW2. But in this dream we were laughing and calm and I felt such peace. It felt so very unworldly. The first thing I did this morning was log on to your site to look at current placements, and your wise words in your latest articles. Thanking you!
Thank you. Kyra Oser saw this very specifically two or three years ago. She is a brilliant clairvoyant. I am really pleased you have come to understand why your mother was, the way she was. Living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is so hard for so many people and that war had long-term effects. The dream should be taken seriously as your guides have found a great space where the two of you can meet again and find some peace, healing and closure. Powerful dreams like that are unforgettable and really move things along.
Hi Jessica
I have 3 Aries planets plus my Mars is at 13 Cancer. Does this mean familial conflict? I desperately hope not because each of our 5 young adult children need healing and not conflict and I’m concerned that with Mars at 13 in Cancer that means conflict at home.
Also, how does Australia’s chart chime with these patterns? I hope we don’t copy cat the US too much.
Cheers
Sharlene.
Sharlene, astrology is really there to work with, like a tool, and awareness helps you sidestep what you don’t want. Just knowing there is a greater risk of conflict within the family (because there is) will help you avoid it. Rather than go charging into issues involving one of the children, you slow down and cool down. The Australian chart reveals she will be most affected by a global stoppage with travel and international trade at the end of January 2021. If you were planning to fly or sail from Australia that month please be sharply aware of the crossroads that is coming. It will more seriously affect China and America.
Afternoon Jessica! I have Chiron at 13 Aries and my Mars is 13 as well but in Aquarius. I suppose this is case of making sure I think before I speak? Then practice, practice, practice… May I have any suggestions from you on this transit?
It’s a really clear message about the groups you belong to (clubs, teams, societies) but also the main online group you are part of, like Twitter. We have Saturn the planet of learning experiences going through Aquarius and this zone of your chart, so yes – be very mindful of those friends and acquaintances and how it all works with them. Chiron in Aries can move very fast and go in quite hard – you don’t really want that at a period in your life when Saturn is going over Mars in Aquarius in your Eleventh House. If you were in a football team your coach would tell you to go easy!
Hi Jessica,
Hoping peace will prevail during this transit, thanks for your insights Jessica. Personally I hope to find renewed energy. It seems to be a long influence in one house! I really need to try and make the most of it. In a post on Saturn in the houses (Mar26, 2020), you identified ‘my’ problem in your perfect First House description , specifically “…shy, or funny about appearing on camera, or paranoid about their web profile.”
Have been dealing with burnout/health issues for decades, have scaled back and simplified (a work in progress over past 12 years) consequently no social media presence (intentionally). Have a marketing background and understand the impact of poor packaging/wrong first impressions.
Wondering would it be best to launch or not to launch during this transit (after July 26 of course) ?
Hope you get a chance to read, would love your help.
Thank you x
You obviously need to exist on the internet (and more than that) if you are going to use your marketing background to bring in business. Even without work as a consideration, you need to be your best self, and that involves being found online, and found as you wish to be found! Wait for Mercury to get out of shadow, and use July to do some research. Pinterest is a very good resource. Step back and have a look at how different parts of the internet serve you, or not. YouTube might be your friend, or perhaps you prefer Twitter or Pinterest itself, which can be wonderful escapism but also very good if you want to quickly survey (say) every single variation on a wardrobe style you like. The Mars and Chiron transit of your First House in Aries will help you consider lessons, guidance or mentorship either from real people (your hairdresser) or in general, from various trends and fashions out there. You will be tempted to see what you can get away with, and that could be quite a lot. Time to experiment, in the last six months of 2020 and first months of 2021.
Any wise words to share with me. The last few years have been a roller coaster. Eloped last year 9-15-2019… A month later my husband deployed to the Middle East and my Pisces/Gem riding hubby’s has a very tough time. Ive been staying with in-laws while my daughter and even my dog have stayed with her father. Hasn’t been the easiest year. We’ve been searching for a house for two years… started on a Retro and now we finally think we found our new home and half the universe is retro. I could use good News.
You have really been through huge upheavals here. A roller coaster ride that has separated you from your husband and found you without a proper home. The good news is, you are over the worst. I am sure you know that Cancer is the sign that rules the Fourth House of your chart, which in turn rules your daughter and her father, but also your husband’s family. Cancer also rules your house or apartment. Whenever people talk about disruption I always suspect quite a lot of factors in Cancer, as since December 2017 you have been put through major oppositions from Capricorn weather (clashing conditions) if so. Sure enough you have a whopping stellium in Cancer, the sign of the crab. Crabs carry their homes on their backs. Their homes are part of them, physically. They also never go far from their tribe. The ancient astrologers chose that memory-jogging device for that constellation very deliberately. So this is you. If you can imagine a crab under attack from other people, organisations, the world outside – you get the picture. You are well past the pressure of having Saturn and the South Node and Pluto all permanently against you! All you are left with now is the last dregs of the Saturn cycle and he is out of your life at Christmas. You are on your way to (at last) some security and stability. Those retrogrades won’t have anything to do with that. Saturn is on his way out and you are on your way to a completely new way of living. Also, a new way of relating to the family. In the year 2022 Jupiter will be in Pisces and make stunning trines to your Cancer factors so that year, you will really find your horoscope rewards you for hanging in there.

Excellent article. And what about those of us who have nothing with Aries in our charts? To be honest I’ve had it with the nodes in cancer and all the Capricorn weather and all the other parts of the puzzle the skies played in my life concerning the last five years. I’ll be quite happy to sit with a bag of popcorn and watch how this plays out with the other members in my life around Me. But I do always wonder when I read your articles about those who have nothing in certain signs or houses. What becomes of them? Do they just get a break? From the good and bad.
Thank you. Empty houses or vacant signs (you have no Aries or First House placements) really just mean that area of life is less of a drama. Some people have packed First Houses/Aries stelliums and are very taken up by their appearance. For example, men who want to be women and have cosmetic surgery. Or singers who spend a lot of time in front of a camera! For you, how you look and present is really not such a big deal. You just get on with it. The Aries traffic we have in 2020-2021 will really affect you at a distance, as every other person you know will be going through these questions about appearances, profile, reputation, image, face, name, brand. You are going to see it in a massive worldwide protest against facial recognition technology, for example. But we will also see an entire new industry spring up to replace the old beauty salon/hairdresser. That will certainly affect you! The virus is not going away. Not by a long shot.
Does Scorpio sun sign is at higher risk for Cover-19? than the others??
There is nothing in astrology that would say one zodiac sign is more vulnerable to the virus than others.
Will nyc survive the summer? i live here! The economy is smashed flat with these protests- riots and lockdown .
New York is the city I keep meaning to write about in a longer feature as she is going through a complete transformation in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. You will have a replacement economy. People are talking about reshaping what was there, and ‘reset’ but that is not radical enough. When the leadership changes, New York will see an alternative to the old. The chart speaks really strongly.
Wow! Great article! Thank you. After reading this one, I had a dream I was in a fiery fast car that I could barely control. 😉 I am wondering what Mars and Chiron will offer me until January, mostly w/“getting a move on” (or into) a relationship? I remember you told me I have a Chiron/Jupiter square? This pandemic has placed all of our lives on hold, and I am hoping Mars can shake things up a bit. Anyway, hope you are well thank you again for all you do! XX
Dreams are so interesting. In fact I am working on a feature with my friend, Jane Teresa Anderson, who is a dream coach. Be aware of what your unconscious mind is telling you about being too fast and too fiery (or even just literally driving too fast). Mars and Chiron in Aries are not about love and sex. They are about image, appearance and brand. Being at home, not being able to access a hairdresser, dealing with eating pattern changes, exercise changes (all brought about by the new rules) is a really good example of why the rest of 2020 might get you thinking about your presentation, packaging and profile in a brand new way.
Hi Jessica – it appears that my partnerships will be transforming over the next 6 months – by way of some challenging aspects. I’m so tired and lonely. I’m 37 now and wondering when will life really get easier and happier. I want to cry because while my heart remains open, I am in pain and hurting. I feel like I’ve been in the dark for so long with moments of light only teasing me of a better tomorrow. I refuse to be in a partnership solely for practical reasons, I want real long lasting deep love that is also practical. Does my chart suggest this will never happen, if so perhaps I ought to focus on something other than romantic love – but what? Thank you.
I am sorry you are so upset about being single. Marriage and common law marriage are ruled by Libra. You have a huge stellium there so your identity is bound up with having a ring on your finger, or at least a legally binding contract with a partner. You have been through a very long and difficult cycle in recent years with Uranus (radical change, revolution) slowly opposing every Libra factor in turn, from the zodiac sign of Aries. Now he has gone Chiron is in Aries replacing him, as you can see. You are being ‘challenged to change’ and there is no other way of saying it. Oppositions are like parliamentary opposition. They are designed to show the other side the wisdom of a point of view, so that laws can be passed. You are in a new love law-making cycle when listening to people who disagree with you, or with whom you disagree, will help you alter course. So you will not be bored in 2020-2021. Various people or organisations, even whole trends, are going to challenge you to change. Doing that will help you reshape your ideas about marriage or partnership in a way that makes it easier for you to pair off with someone when the transits move on in your favour. That is next year. In fact it begins at Christmas. Jupiter, the planet of opportunity and growth, moves into Aquarius and begins to slowly make a stunning series of trines to your Libra stellium.
Hi Jessica,
Commenting here about the Chiron in Aries cycle because the comments on that article are closed. I have Chiron in Gemini in my natal chart. I have always loved music and been learning also for some time now. What can we say about the current chiron in aries cycle?
Chiron was a music teacher (in one of his roles) and the most famous image of him we have, shows him with what today we could call a guitar. Certainly its predecessor in the ancient world. Chiron in Aries is about those who encourage you to experiment with your appearance, brand, name or image. So it’s entirely possible that when you go through transiting Chiron sextile natal Chiron you will leap onto YouTube, or alter your look for public appearances, or find a niche in music or theatre where you are upfront.
Gosh. Fascinating as usual Jessica with much food for thought. In particular:
“The USA Civil War chart set for 12th April 1861 in Charleston SC at 4.30am shows Venus at 14 Aries.”
It was also the start of a world wide slump in cotton sales. This was exacerbated by the blockade of raw cotton by the US Confederacy and the stockpiling of finished bales by merchants in the UK waiting for prices to rise. The result? The closure of most of the cotton mills in Lancashire and surrounding areas and the destitution of the workers and their families.
Many Lancastrians, Cestrians (from Cheshire) and Tykes (from Yorkshire) emigrated to the US at this time, with passages paid out of public funds – either to fight in the Civil War for the North or to engage in trade and trade wars!
Do you see any parallels with world trade in 2020/21 Jessica? For example the US has already started stockpiling one of the two drugs (Remdesivir) known to be effective against the coronavirus – thus depriving the rest of the world of its benefits.
BTW. I recall you saying that Switzerland, or a Swiss type deal, would figure largely in the Brexit trade talks. Well the UK has just signed a financial deal with Switzerland making/keeping the two countries global financial hubs. The German and French governments don’t seem too pleased – whilst Trump has yet to react.
With many thanks
Liz
That is very interesting about the cotton sales Liz and the global slump. There is karma there with the North of England and America. And of course there is karma with the descendants of slaves. This is a new world economy. Not even a reset or a rebuild. That’s too tame. What is coming is a replacement. It’s not really about America stockpiling drugs. It’s about globalisation and how it ends. Yes, I predicted a Swiss-style Brexit, many years ago now. I didn’t know that Switzerland had just signed a deal with Britain, how interesting! Thank you.
Hi Jessica,
I’m getting ready to go back to school for a career change into nursing. With my Mars return and Chiron in Aries, is this bad timing/career choice because of the risks for Scorpio? Thank you for any insight!
Thank you for returning to nursing – we need you. You will need a new lifestyle and timetable, very quickly. Did you know that Chiron was a medical herbalist? He gathered healing herbs on Mount Pelion. Mars is of course, emergency. You are going to be in a very active, very live environment with precious little let-up so given that we are talking about your Sixth House of lifestyle and work, it is time to promise yourself you will create a new way of sleeping, relaxing, eating, drinking and the rest. The tiny details. You are going to have to up your speed and sharpen your focus and that means a huge shift in the way you normally live your life. When you look back at this period from 2022 you will be stunned at how much you did in such a short space of time. Do not burn your candle at both ends, though. As soon as you realise what is actually on offer at work, as opposed to what you assumed, create the new schedule and diary and stick to it. It will get you through.
You may not be aware that Donald Trump has warned Japan’s Hitachi not to sell Wales’s Wylfa’s nuclear power site on Ynys Môn (Isle of Anglesey) to China. Further information can be gleaned from the the BBC Wales’s article – Wylfa nuclear project: Donald Trump plea over site sale dismissed. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-53212790)
That is really interesting, thank you very much.

Vanishing Commerce From Cities
The looting and arson of recent days hugely aggravated a central feature of it: the destruction of small business.
In Minneapolis alone, the damage stands at $100-million. Things were difficult enough under the strictures of Covid-19, but this guarantees that many cities will not see the return of commerce — and there are only a few other reasons for cities to even exist.
Not only did the Democratic Party fail to object to the mayhem, but the city governments they controlled abetted, incited, and applauded the anarchy.
Meanwhile, last Saturday in Tulsa, Mr. Trump made the signal error of bragging on the latest highs in the stock markets. Hasn’t he learned by now what a flimsy representation of reality that is?
Evidently not. The air may be coming out of that lifebuoy in the next couple of weeks, and his election prospects will sink with it.
This will happen as the nation approaches the dark moment when the postponement of debt repayments ends. Imagine how many mortgage, car payments, and small business loan defaults will crackle across the land, and how that will thunder through the banking system.
People keep talking about going back to rebuild the economy after COVID-19 but the astrology is really clear that there is no going back, and there is no imminent cure or innoculation. So what we are looking at is a new world. A replacement economy. The old model of massively over-borrowing to buy more products (and eating the planet) is not going to survive 2021. Radical new economy for the whole world is on the way: I already predicted Donald would be over in October.
Hi Jessica, I was like a sloth while Mars was transiting Pisces (natal Mars 26° Pisces!) Was delighted it has moved into Aries but after reading your article, am quite concerned.
If you don’t mind, could you please answer a couple of questions I have.
With Mars & Chiron in Aries for seven months, I am concerned with regard to a neighbour (born 07/06/73) who drinks too much several times a year & disturbs me by knocking on my door & yelling in the early hours of the morning. This has been going on since 10th February 2017 & I have always looked after her, concerned for her safety. On 19th April 2020, my patience finally snapped & I called the Police. She was given a written Police warning & will be arrested in future. It will in all likelihood happen again. Do you have any insights going forward, please?
With Mars been retrograde in Aries until February 2021 & Mercury going retrograde in Libra & Scorpio in October & November 2020. Is it more likely a partner from the past can return during the autumn here in the UK?
I have the following placements,
Jupiter 13° Aries
Apollo 17° Aries
Chiron 25° Aries
Pluto 06° Libra
Uranus 29° Libra.
Thank you! J
Your neighbour sounds dreadful J and you have had 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 to put up with this. Boundaries have been installed and actually she is a COVID-19 risk if she touches your door so there are even heavier boundaries and rules than there used to be. This is one of the weirder examples of how the current planetary cycles work in your favour. She is not social distancing, she is actually legally crossing a massive line. Do some research in July and you will have a final answer in the closing days of July and early August when Mercury goes forward into Cancer, which rules your home and also the council. Make boundaries if you do not already. She does not have to be your responsibility but it is your choice. You are strongly Aries and need conflict to feel alive. Also strange but true. If you are not already playing a mean game of tennis, or part of a vociferous football supporters’ fan base, you need something to beat, or something to yell about. This is even more so as you go through your Chiron return. Make sure you are up to speed with new legal rulings on invasive neighbours, hand it over to the authorities, then get on with your life without her in your head. Yes, you do need something to get your teeth into in 2020-2021 but you are far, far better off waving a flag for a team, or getting powerfully involved in protest movements or campaigns, than wasting your time on someone who needs help but cares very little for you!
Oh boy. My on-off lover who doesn’t want to be tied down is from the Uranus in Libra generation (not sure what degree, since I don’t have his birth time). I have Pluto 10 degree Libra. My read is that I have to tread carefully in July otherwise a quarrel could take down the friendship. Do your insights match mine? Thank you, Jessica.
You both need lots of chopping and changing in any relationship in order to stay interested so you would not actually be happy with anything too safe and predictable. I don’t see a quarrel as people have to make it and astrology does not control your free will. You are on stormy seas but that can make for a more thrilling adventure. It’s really up to you. But he wants freedom and space. And you want control. You’ll have to figure that out.
Hello Jessica, I have Chiron in Taurus 8, AC in Aries 13 and IC in Cancer 13, what can I expect in the coming weeks / months?
Chiron at 8 Taurus trine Saturn at 7 Virgo in your chart is about money and work (or money and unpaid work – or study). Panacea at 7 Sagittarius and Psyche at 8 Aquarius are also in that pattern, so you are already in ‘the revolution’ as Uranus passed across 7, 8 Taurus in May and June 2020. Meanwhile Chiron was also at 8 Aries in June. The revolution also involves foreign people and places (Sagittarius), together with friends and groups (Aquarius) so radical change in 2020 affects not just two areas of your life, but four. Uranus goes back to 8 Taurus from October 24th and Chiron is at 7 Aries then. So that’s the next turning point, through to mid-December. Then in 2021 the story kicks off again in February as Saturn goes to 7, 8 Aquarius and Uranus is at 7 Taurus, with Chiron again at 7 Aries with these two at 7, 8 Taurus and 8 Aquarius in March 2021. This is a total transformation of your social life, social media, money, work (unpaid work or study) and also your connections with people from other nationalities and countries. It goes in stages, like rolling waves and is led by the new stop-start economy in your country which in turn is affected by supply chain shortages and retail/business volatility, as the virus is going nowhere. To make the most of this period in your life get yourself into a position where you are as flexible as possible so you can quickly adapt to what changes, because at some point it will be every other day. You will be given the chance to see what you can get away with, experiment, twist, turn and pivot as the world also spins around you. In return you win freedom, independence, relief from restrictive situations, release from people who tied you down, space, autonomy, excitement and exhilaration!
Of course – karmic links between the former slaves and the emigrants to New York from the North of England but also the prosperity/destitution of those northern emigants being based on the slave trade. It is complicated.
My apologies re the signing of a deal between the UK and Switzerland. The two governments have as yet only signed a joint committment to work towards a deal. As Sunak stated:
“Today’s agreement is about our vision of the world economy as open, global and free – a vision shared by Switzerland, with our long history of trade and finance.”

Thank you Jessica for helping me see the bigger picture.
Hi Jessica – you may have missed seeing my comment from June 30th. Would you please respond to it.
I’m afraid I have 10,105 comments in the queue today so it’s not possible to answer or even see every question. If you are asking about Mars and Chiron in Aries and the impact on your horoscope, you will work hard on your style and wardrobe in 2020-2021 and put tremendous energy and effort into one or more looks. This in turn leads you to think more about your body shape and type and how best to eat, drink and exercise to get the right clothes hanger! This has started in a very small way just this last week but by 2021 it will be a really interesting new development for you. You will become your own stylist and model. For whatever reason.
Hi Jessica, Is there another Democratic candidate who will enter the presidential race? I thought I read somewhere (many months ago) that the eventual Democratic nominee still hadn’t entered the race. That coincided with Mr. Bloomberg getting on the debate stage one time, but then he dropped out immediately afterwards. Just wondering if Mr. Biden is the nominee or if someone else will challenge at the convention (if it’s even possible to hold a convention given the pandemic)?
You have reminded me I need to write about this again. I am not convinced that Joe Biden will end up being the Democrats’ candidate. All this Democrat negotiation took place on Mercury Retrograde at the start of the year. Of course it is possible he rises to become President but does so in a team which is made up of other former candidates, like Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders and her supporter AOC. A group of stars would lend itself to leadership more than one star! It is very hard to call, as we lack proper birth data for most of these people. But the future belongs to the Democrats. The only question for voters is, how much of a landslide do you want and how much of a mandate do you want? Astrology should not stop anyone from voting, ever, but this is not a Trump or even a Pence led future. It’s Aquarian. Gender equality, community, diversity of background and race. People power going across, not elite power from the top down.
Wow wow wow…
What is next Dear Divine Holly Powers…
Ufff ufff ufff
I can’t take this year any longer…
I have:
Uranus in Libra
Pluto in Libra
Mars in Scorpio
Chiron in Aries
Oh my Divine Powers what’s next coming for me… I am in USA and will I survive civil war…
Thank You
You will find the relationship with a past, present or potential partner (perhaps more than one man) will educate you about ‘me’ versus ‘he’ or even ‘we’ in quite an intense way. Libra is about the two of you. Aries is about just you and your self-interest. Figuring that out will take a long time. Try to keep the stakes low by keeping your personal life as simple as possible. This would not be the time to develop an online flirtation with a married man, for example. Yet, one way or another one particular man will become your top priority between now and 2021. As for America – protect yourself, look after yourself, secure yourself and your situation at all times. America is going through an extremely dangerous period for COVID-19 transmission and gun violence. You know what to do. Please don’t worry, as forewarned is forearmed, and I know that all my American readers are still social distancing, using hand gel and soap, and avoiding large crowds! Your greatest friend of all is powerful, strong immunity so look after that too.
Hello Jessica,
Thank You for your in depth look at the transits of Mars and Chiron in Aries and especially for taking the time with so much else going on in the world!
It seems as though in times like this we are adrift alone in a lifeboat, on the open seas, occasionally peeking above the sides to scan the horizon for the next approaching storm and the hope that land may soon arrive.
On and around July 12th transiting Chiron,Mars and moon conjoin in Aries to oppose my natal Venus. Soon thereafter Mercury stations direct in Cancer to square my natal Venus. That’s a lot of action to Venus.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
GB
Well GB your Venus is really interested in complicated relationships and in mythology she was the seductress of Mars, outside her marriage. You also have an interest in complicated relationships of many different kinds, not necessarily sexual. These multi-layered connections in your life will be put to the test as you experience the aspects to Venus in your chart. Liz Greene gave a brilliant lecture on Venus many years ago at Oxford University and spoke about how Venus transits tend to make us choose who/what we feel most passionate about. So they are highly educational even though they can be personally quite painful on occasion. Venus is usually present in a love triangle for example, or in highly political situations with in-laws. Yet through this dance in your chart with others you will find out who and what matters most to you. Hopefully without the heavier or more dramatic manifestations of the cycle.
Thanks for this interesting article Jessica! I will have my Chiron return (Aries – 28 degrees). I also have Jupiter in Aries (13 degrees), Vesta in Aries (2 degrees) and Panacea in Aries (15 degrees). My Chiron is opposed by Uranus in Libra (28 degrees) and Pluto in Libra (6 degrees). My Sun and Aesculapia in Cancer are also both 28 degrees, and my Saturn in Cancer is 23 degrees. Lastly my Moon is in Capricorn (18 degrees). Can you please tell me how you see the astrological weather playing out for me? Is it still regarded as a Grand Cross when three factors are at 28 degrees and one is 18 degrees? If so, how can I combat this tension? I really appreciate your insight! Stay safe at this tricky time.
Aries stellium people being triggered by Aries stelliums are in the life education zone in 2020-2021. If you want to know more about Aries as a zodiac sign use Search to find out how to proceed when the cycles of time want you to learn – what to do – and what not to do. You don’t have a Grand Cross with those degrees.
Thanks Jessica!
Hi Jessica,
Was not aware of US’ connection to the 13 degree… so prevalent in my chart. Was born outside US, but live here for many years, and could not imagine living anywhere else. Just applied for citizenship too, before Mercury retrograde.
I’m involved in something regarding property/real estate (and a future home) right now, and it’s very challenging and stressful. I am also strongly considering getting my real estate license.
Also, no wonder I started the most restrictive diet I ever followed, on June 30th, considering Mars and Chiron in Aries, lol. :/
What else should I be aware of now, especially that I have Pluto in Libra at 10 and my MC in Leo at 8?
Thank you so much!!!
You are pursuing property and real estate on Mercury Retrograde in Cancer in your Fourth House of houses, apartments and realty. The cycle ends in the final days of July. You have also been trying to do this through eclipses at either end of Cancer – again – ruling property. You also started a diet on Mercury Retrograde! So what should you be aware of? Mercury Retrograde. The dates have been posted on this site for some years now. Your Pluto in Libra is a separate issue and is about the relationship you have with your former, current or potential partner, which will be challenged and changed.
Hi Jessica,
I do not even know where to begin with my question. My world exploded, in a good way, starting in January just as Covid hit the west coast of the US. Between getting approved for a loan so that I could rebuilt my website and renew and expand my branding, I am a photographer and decided to finally do something about my wild horse photography and build a business selling my work, I am hoping to stop doing client based photography and focus on my love of wild horses.
On march 9th I connected for the first time with some of my biological family, something I never thought would happen and felt a really strong bond with my aunt and uncle.
Through a connection from a friend late last year, this past May I had a trip of a lifetime to photograph a very hard to find herd of wild horses in Oregon and then on my drive home June 30th I learned all hell had broken loose in the US.
Since that date every bit of momentum I had has come to an almost standstill, with a few fits and starts, my website has yet to launch and I am now second guessing whether it should or when it should and whether my photography will take off, I am hoping you have some insight into this and it would be so very much appreciated.
I have Chiron and Aesculapia in Aries, a super stellium (my term since there are 5 or more planets/asteroids) in Sagittarius and Aquarius and with Uranus in Libra which after reading this post now has me wondering if I need to be concerned about my 20 year marriage. All of a sudden I am feeling overwhelmed and scared for my future, as I know may people are scared for theirs as well, I have been so ready for my work and recognition for it to take off so that I can make a living and take care of my family. The one comfort is that this upcoming cycle will get rid of DT,
Stay Healthy and Well,
Warmly,
J
I am sorry your life has been disrupted by COVID-19. It has happened to most people. I am not sure why you would be concerned about your marriage, having read this astrology information. Uranus in Libra natally does not mean divorce! It means change. You are a wild horse photographer who will have to pivot, spin and twist. Your Moon in Scorpio (income) is opposed by Uranus in Taurus, for the first and last time in your adult life. That is a revolution in the way you earn, save and think about money, houses, apartments, business, investments. One thing you may end up doing is separating your cake from your bread and butter. So if photographing horses is your cake, you will need bread and butter. Uranus is about radical differences – all that is new. So you will make or save money by doing the last thing you expected you would do. Those are the rules with a Uranus in Taurus transit to the Moon in Scorpio. It will involve the marriage because Scorpio rules sex and money. The creative aspects of rethinking and recreating your life are up to you. But don’t be scared. Experiment. Bread and butter means you can have your cake and eat it too, even during a revolution.
Hope every thing is well with you Jessica . I have been looking at this information about Mars and Chiron in Aries I have nothing in Aries at all but a lot in Libra ……….. Fortuna at 5 LIbra …… Mars at 6 Libra and Bacchus at 5 …… as well as Proserpina at 27 Libra …. I am a Sun Virgo with a lot in Leo and Scorpio could you please illuminate what this means for me personally ? Thank you very much in advance .
Thank you. Yes, life in Tasmania is good, I have to say. We are very lucky here, with no cases for almost two months. We have eradicated Covid. You are strongly Libra with a stellium in the sign of the scales in the Seventh House of love, sex, relationships, marriage, divorce and separation! Also work partnerships. You find out who you are through balancing the scales with one other person and you do it on a repeated basis. So I just saw a reader with this pattern who was with one woman for years, but never married or had children. They had a stormy relationship and he married someone else. Again, no children. They divorced and he had a baby out of wedlock with a woman – they brokeup! So making and breaking partnerships is part of the journey. It gets easier as you grow older and in fact you will make friends with exes, go into business with them, or perhaps get back together with one of them. I don’t know if you are married or single.
Hi Jessica,
I find the world and generational astrology fascinating. I used to worry about world events but now nothing worries me. I just go with the flow and try to be mindful of my words and actions. I do, however, wish the astrology would hurry up and line up for special needs children. They have literally been pushed aside in the US in politics due to money. And this is not a recent issue its been going on for decades. The problem will soon be too big to ignore but by then too big to pay for. It should have been something that started decades ago and scaled up. Also, I am intrigued by the Epstein files. I survived 15 years of child sexual abuse. I have to say I am happy that this is finally coming to light, as horrifying as it is, if we refuse to see it and turn our heads then we don’t act. When its in OUR FACE (Aries). We have to act. And if we don’t we are worse than the perpetrators of these crimes.
Do you see anything soon with regard to children, not just special needs and not just USA but around the globe, getting what they need most? Nurturing and protecting. I think once women come into their full feminine power there will be be changes. But I don’t have anything to back that statement up. Definitely a wish of mine.
Happy March.
Greater Things
We are in that fantastic cycle when children, special needs and otherwise, come first. Laws are changed, certain politicians are elected (and not others) and guilty people are jailed. You can read all about that cycle here. It begins in months. It is being set up now. The pornography industry will be hit hard. Human trafficking crimes will result in billions of dollars being taken. This is the prediction.
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for your horoscopes and blogs – can you please shed any light as to what this may mean for me? I want to emigrate and make sure i do not sacrifice my career but ultimately do something that i love.
Pluto at 5 Sagittarius in your Ninth House of emigration indicates a battle to do that, as Uranus goes to 5 Gemini and makes an opposition. Later on, Pluto himself goes to 5 Aquarius (Pluto sextile Pluto). So if you choose to move to another country and culture it will be an intense, slow business with many issues about how much control you have, versus the control of the locals, your employer, the residents and so on. Go in slowly and carefully with this one.
Hi Jessica, It’s fascinating that this blog, written in 2020, is even more relevant today. War is unfolding in the Middle East, which, if I remember correctly, you had flagged off some years ago. I’m not sure if there is any point in asking, given the state of the world … where do you see this going, and which countries do you see in the line of fire? Thank you.
Thank you. Yes, freedom for Iran was predicted on this website in 2018 but it was clear it would take many years. Iranian Millennials are the key and they will be liberated. Even though the Israel-America war on Iran is propaganda to force Epstein off the front page, Epstein never goes away. The war itself will result in the usual Mercury Retrograde travel and sharemarket chaos. I posted the dates in July last year so that people would have advance warning of February, March 2026 and not book overseas trips then.
Hi Jessica,
I’m wondering how best to navigate this current cycle.
My Leo spouse has Venus 4 Libra, Pluto 2 Libra, Vulcano 2 Libra, Uranus 20 Libra, Panacea 19 Libra, with Aries factors including Chiron 20 Aries and Aesculapia 13 Aries. With the current transits activating the Libra–Aries axis, he has stepped into yet another high-pressure opening where his name and face are central to the project.
It feels like a familiar pattern. Each new role promises stability, yet the industry itself is volatile and relentless. The strain ripples outward — it affects our home, our plans, and my own sense of capacity. I sometimes wonder how much more of this cycle I can absorb, even though he is the one visibly carrying the fire.
I am currently writing about the structural pressure in this industry — how leadership roles can become lightning rods, and how that impact extends to partners and families. I’m trying to understand whether this is a repeating karmic theme in his chart, or a transit that can be navigated more consciously this time.
How would you suggest approaching this astrologically? Is this about boundaries, timing, or accepting that the Libra–Aries axis will always externalize conflict through partnership and visibility?
Your husband is passing on the anxiety of a new role. You have Virgo and Capricorn stelliums and are a Cancerian. Your mutual issue is actually Pluto in Aquarius. It’s always about a change in the balance of power and you are sensitive to that as you are both ambitious yourself (Capricorn) but also mindful of the pecking order and hierarchy of serving and being served (Virgo). Pluto remains in Aquarius for about 20 years so you both need to figure this out long-term. He has is in his solar Seventh House of wives. You have it in your solar Eighth House of marriage and mortgage; marriage and bills. There is a lot of content on Pluto in the guides on this website (in your members’ library) and also throughout the site itself. The Pluto transit is pretty new; it only landed fully quite recently. The solution is usually willpower and self-control, plus a power-sharing arrangement.
Dear Jessica, I think I have Mars in Aries. Yesterday a colleague attacked me, what she does once in a while and preferably before leaving for a holiday and mainly because of our overall boss, whom I work for. She does not see that it harms us both and for me it is difficult to react, as I always lost those battles in my working life and am quite careful. I guess I react different then I used to, but this time I am very careful again, do you have a tipp for me
I am sorry your colleague attacked you. Yes, you are a Sun Pisces woman with an Aries stellium. You enter the biggest and best work cycle in 12 years on June 30th so not long to go before you a) get a better job b) see her silenced or c) see her go. Until then remember you do have a strong Aries side. Learn assertiveness skills (like learning to drive, but drive humans, not cars) here, from an expert.
Oh Jessica you are amazing and bang on target with Mars and the US strikes on Iran. I was only saying to my brother this morning I am so glad my niece is not in Dubai and he was dismissive saying that its very safe place. When I got home later I was amazed to turn on the TV and see the Fairmont The Palm hotel in Dubai had been hit!. I dont have Aries in my chart but my Mars in Aquarius and I really am unsure how that impacts me can you provide some insight?
Thank you. I’ve just mentioned to another reader that a few of us predicted Iran in February, March (very interesting given we use different methods) so I’ll run a feature on astrologers who called it, shortly. Dubai is also part of that Mercury Retrograde, of course, which is why I run the dates at least six months in advance. People using astrology would not have been flying now. Your chart is Fifth House dominant in 2026, 2027 as you are a Sagittarian woman with a Leo stellium in the Fifth. In your solar chart, Saturn, Chiron and Aries go through the Fifth. You are Queen to a younger court and your heirs, spares and pretenders will be enormously fulfilling for you, starting in July, August and going into next year too. Good karma from 18-19 years prior will come back.
Thank you Jessica for this amazing article. Let’s hope all that heat leads to some positive outcomes, I’ve found it very unsettling watching the attacks today, especially on my old home of Dubai. I was born with Mars and Chiron in Aries, and Pluto and Uranus in Libra. I have a stellium in both signs. I really do not like conflict, much prefer to find the middle ground than argue, and tend to be the peacemaker in all my dealings! I have just dodged a conflict with a dodgy builder – I had lawyers review the case, and they told me there was little chance of getting actual compensation, so I decided to let it go and move on. I’ll need another builder to finish my job of course but I plan to do things very differently this time. The other conflict in my life is one I am stuck in the middle with – my mum and sister have a feud and refuse to compromise, which is very stressful for me. I try to manage it as best I can and focus on my own life and future! I am right now thinking through when to launch my Substack and also launch some creative workshops I have designed, which I plan to offer locally in my town as well as online. I have been working on both of these for some time and was thinking May for launch. Please could you advise me what my best timing might be on my chart factors? Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you very much. You lived in Dubai so must be amazed to see what is happening. It’s the same transit you are experiencing with your builder, mother and sister. Same thing. Cancer/Fourth House which rules houses and apartments, home town and family. It stops in the final week of April. Either the constant instability ends, or you no longer care, for whatever reason! A Substack launch in May sounds solid for workshops. You have Jupiter at 27 Sagittarius in the Ninth House of teaching so will start to see good outcomes in July, August as the Leo traffic starts to pick that up. Long-term into 2027, Jupiter itself will trine Jupiter and so will the South Node. You are going to become the person your chart says you should be; international students may be part of it.
Hi Jessica, very interesting Article on mars and Chiron. I have Chiron in Aries 4 degrees and Uranus 3 degrees Libra. I have gone through the Seperation of 33 years together in 2023, then 2024/2025 was the property settlement and divorce.
I am very courteous of meeting someone into my new life of freedom as I have worked so hard to revive what I was owed from my marriage in 2007.
You have done all the hard work and are now free from your divorce. You are a Virgo woman with Libra and Scorpio stelliums, so what you just went through was years of oppositions from Uranus in Taurus, to your Scorpio placements. Uranus is out of that sign for the rest of your life from the final week of April. The series of shocks is over, in terms of not just the money or the home, but also the bedroom. You only have some karma left to complete with your former husband and that stops in the last week of July. Until then you may find not much changes, but from late July, the nodes change sign and you are on your way. You want a new partner. This will be very much about the money and the real estate and it will be an escape from the real world for you. It will happen at any point over the next few years, but be easier after mid 2028. If you agree before that time, you will still have the holiday from reality, but also have your patience tested. From mid 2028 it’s just one long vacation from normal property or economic ‘real world’ with somebody.
Hi Jessica,
I’m set to separate from my employer in late April. My work has gotten so awful in the last few years that I feel I don’t have a choice. I negotiated a severance package as long as I agree to stay to on to finish up a huge project in late April. I don’t have any work lined up after I leave. Now with everything happening in the world I’m concerned about the timing of this departure. Am I making a mistake? Thank you for all your insight!
I am sorry you have had a rotten time at work. You are one month away from leaving, so what does your chart say? You are a Sun Scorpio woman with Scorpio, Aquarius and Virgo stelliums. You are making the right decision and will be thrilled at your new career path from mid 2027 to mid 2028 when your opportunities for the right kind of lifestyle and role, hit a 12-year high. Even before then (Jupiter will go over your Virgo stellium in the Sixth House) you are poised for greater things from June 30th, as Jupiter goes through Leo first and your solar Tenth House of success and status. So enjoy the break but July and August are the times to push for the new kind of professional life you want. Your luck is really high then. Emphasise your commitment to detail when you apply; focus on your work ethic, your respect for serving others and all those other famous Virgo traits. You are strongly Virgoan and people want that.
Thank you for the reply and THANK GOD. I have been waiting my whole life for justice for all children. Something fascinating happened to me last year. I kept dreaming of kids in tunnels and I was helping them escape. Then I found kids in a house and was getting them out of the basement. Well here in the US, several traffiked kids were found in a basement and rescued and several in tunnels, which no one seemed to want to believe is actually happening. They are being smuggled into the country in these tunnels and traffiked. Then I dreamed that I was in another tunnel and then tunnels when in all directions and there were children everywhere. Too many for me to help and I just started praying for help, earthly and heavenly, and then I woke up. Our children are our most precious resource we must treasure them above anything and everything!!
I was in the store the other day and saw, literally 5 different magazines, main stream magazines with stories about Jesus. He was on the cover. I got an electronic magazine in my email, another main stream not religious based, and it was about coloring with scriptures. I just found that so interesting that these things are showing up now, it really caught my attention. Things that, at least in my area, people keep private as personal choices.
Keeping my fingers crossed and hopes up. I love this news
YAY
Greater Things…. are on the way
Thank you Jessica. I was born with both Chiron and Mars in Aries and a stellium there. You have previously told me to be aware of the Aries stellium this coming year. But this information reminded me that I was born with Pluto and Uranus in Libra which will be challenging, and this has already started with the current Neptune and Saturn conjunction in opposition to my birth chart Pluto at 1 libra. As a Capricorn I wanted to ask you if Jupiter transiting my opposite sign of Cancer provides any buffer / positivity for the Libra oppositions that are coming? I would love your feedback on my chart. Thank you.
Thank you. You are a Sun Capricorn woman with Capricorn, Aries and Libra stelliums. So you have tension there between the cardinal signs in your chart. Capricorn is ambitious for status and success. Aries wants to fight and win. Libra wants to be one half of a partnership. They don’t always go together! Looking at both your charts, solar and natal, the main story is work. Also, university/college workload or unpaid work (volunteering, parenting, caring). Assuming you have a career, from the final week of April 2026, radical changes will affect your daily routine, the hierarchy in your workplace, the sense of duty you have, the service you are required to perform – but also your ideas about serving your own best physical and mental health. I mentioned you were ambitious; this picks up on some core issues for you about getting to the top, staying at the top, and being successful. You will notice that freedom and independence become far more important from April 2026 onwards and by July there is a decision about space and autonomy, never mind ‘success’. It’s quite true that the Capricorn factors in your Tenth House will be under transit (squares from the Aries transits by Saturn and Neptune) but in your solar chart, your Sixth House of everyday workload is also under transit (by Uranus, the revolution) so it’s pretty clear you have choices about your job, ongoing. It would be easy to break with the past in 2026, 2027, 2028 and questioning your old ideas about what ‘making it’ really means to you could be quite exhilarating and liberating for you.
Greetings Jessica,
With the upcoming Mars and Chiron in Aries Im very aware of not racing and jumping into conflict. I’m instead deliberately choosing strategy and long term positioning instead of heat in the moment.
Trying to end an old pattern instead of escalating it.
Looking at my chart, is that the right way to handle this transit? Does holding steady now lead to a better outcome for me?
Also, are there any supportive outside influences around this situation – people or factors that may lend weight and positively shape the outcome?
A great post thankyou, and Thankyou for your time.
Thank you, it sounds as if this feature is immediately relevant to you, given your chart. The oppositions to your Libra stellium happen slowly (Aries transits opposing your Libra factors in turn) and you also have Uranus and Pluto trine – the same. So the scales you have with the other person concerned need to be rebuild. They will be in for repairs and both sides of the scales as well as the central mechanism, will need to be restructured. Old ideas about what is fair, what is ‘just’ and what is legal are under question. Jupiter will also sextile your Libra stellium from June 2026 to July 2027 so you are correct in wanting to end an old pattern. As you have always been strongly Libran you need to look back at the way you handled partnerships, pairs and duos in the past. This goes right back to being a teenager. The Tarot and Oracles on this website will help. ‘How have I expressed my Libra stellium to date?’ It is really common for women with a Libra stellium to encounter sexism and this changes their personality and life. They will not tolerate it. The ultimate expression of these transits is a reshaped, rebuilt partnership which functions better. The challenge is to handle the rocking of the scales.
Jessica, thank you for such a thoughtful and wide-ranging look at the Aries cycle of 2026. I really appreciated your emphasis on strategy, on choosing battles carefully, and on the deeper parental and generational themes behind Pluto in Libra. It gave me a lot to reflect on.
I was born 7 June 1982 with:
• Midheaven 2° Aries
• Mars 4° Libra (4th House)
• Saturn 15° Libra (4th House)
• Pluto 24° Libra (4th House)
• Cancer Ascendant
• North Node 13° Cancer
With Mars, Chiron, Saturn and Neptune moving through Aries in 2026, these transits will activate my Midheaven while opposing my Libra stellium in the Fourth House.
At present, I am building a new professional identity, while also navigating tension with a former partner around family structure. I am very conscious of not repeating old power patterns I grew up with, and your comments about “me versus we” and parental imprints felt particularly relevant.
My question is: when Aries transits oppose Libra planets in the Fourth House while also triggering the Midheaven, does this tend to bring private power struggles into the public sphere? And how can one assert necessary boundaries — especially in family matters — without escalating things into unnecessary conflict?
Is this cycle more about strengthening and consolidating identity, or about managing external pressure wisely?
Thank you for any insight you may be able to share.
Thank you, I’m glad you found this useful. If your birth time is strictly accurate, at 7.29am (sounds like it) you do in fact have your MC or Midheaven at 2 Aries and so your highest point of achievement will be the fight – always – and the contest. Neptune and Saturn going over 2 Aries suggests being quite cautious about the arena you choose, as whatever begins, hangs around for a long time. If you’re going into the World Cup against a notorious rival team, for example, you would really plot and plan that quite cautiously as the aftermath would be there in 2027, never mind the actual games. Your old partner may be the battle; the arena may be your usually private life. You can choose, however. The Tarot and Oracles on this website can help with that. What’s the saying? ‘Choose your battles.’ Fortuna is next to your MC and equally important. You blindly send people up and down in your estimation and put them on a bit of a roulette wheel, spinning them high and low. So it’s very easy to put partners or parents or employers on a pedestal, quite unknowingly, and then pull them off it. Then send them up again! The Libra stellium in your Seventh House will indeed be opposed for many years by Saturn and Neptune. Uranus will also make the trine and so will Pluto. So this does look like your former partner. The involvement will be reshaped. Mars at 4 Libra is quite combative if the scales are not fairly balanced; if there is (even) something that breaks the law. So you historically will clash swords if anybody else is being sexist, say, or unfair in other ways. Uranus will trine Mars from 4 Gemini and Pluto will trine Mars from 4 Aquarius so your combative, fearless, side is triggered. The oppositions from Neptune are extremely slow and take a long time in your life; they can be confusing and confused. Unless somebody else turns up, the story is about your old partner and you need to go into this with as much professional advice as possible; certainly the advice of your own good E.S.P. too which is where the Oracles and Tarot come in. You were very likely a ‘terrible twos’ toddler when faced with what was unfair to you, even as a tiny child. What is happening in 2026, 2027, 2028 is about understanding how to engage in combat – differently. The Tibetan Buddhists have a lot of good advice on that one!
Hi Jessica,
I genuinely admire the way you explain complex astrological themes with such insight and intuition. Thank you for sharing your wisdom so generously.
I have a stellium in Cancer, South Node and Minerva in Aries, and I was born with Pluto in Libra (1977 generation). I am currently actively looking for new job opportunities outside my current organization, as I no longer feel valued there, and I’m wondering whether you see a significant professional shift or breakthrough ahead for me.
Additionally, my lease is ending in July, and I am very likely needing to move. I live in a European capital where finding an apartment is extremely challenging, so this feels like a major transition period on multiple levels. Do you see support or positive movement around housing and relocation for me?
On a personal note, I’m not in a relationship at the moment — I’m a single parent to a toddler — and I’m curious what the near future may hold in terms of partnership and emotional stability.
Thank you so much in advance for your insight
Thank you, that’s very kind of you. You want a new job; need a new apartment; are a single mother hoping for a partner. What do both your charts (public and private) say? You are a Cancerian woman, with stelliums in Cancer, Leo, Taurus and Scorpio. You will save or make quite a lot of money after June 30th and until July 26th, 2027 if you take the opportunities and use the solutions. The first one is big and it appears in July, August 2026. Talking about finance and apartments (and possessions) when entering into any new agreement with a future partner, or any arrangement with family members, always get it in writing and have a professional look over it. This is to avoid issues about control, looking years into the future. You have Saturn, Neptune and Chiron all in your solar Tenth House of career in 2026 in the sign of Aries. Use Astrology Delivery (see Search for explanation/instructions) on March 6, 20, April 9, 15, 17 and see how much of your wish list you can achieve. Logic says you get a better paid job; you are overdue for an upgrade on your title, profile and image with Jupiter in Cancer and a better business card (say) or Linked In new job role would suit that, by June 30th at the very latest. So have a go. This may be what is behind the money you save or make, which is showing up. And of course, figuring out a housing solution, even with a child, can be the way through to that. Use Astrology Delivery to book for a new home on August 6, September 10, 23, October 10 and 25. It takes a bit of commitment but I have seen people achieve incredible results, with finance, coming from quite difficult situations. (Testimonials are right through my website). Going back to your birth chart, Jupiter in Leo is also really good news for you and your child, June 2026 to July 2027, with long overdue opportunities for improvement. There is also a new sexual relationship, or just courtship, on offer at that time. When you see Astrology Delivery results please let me know on X-Twitter, Substack or Bluesky. Thank you.
Hi,
As a Virgo stellium, I have been loving the Chiron experiments in the money sector. With natal Diana in Aries, what expertise can you share about the upcoming 5-6 months? I am being considered for promotion and it is taking a lot of work too!
Diana in Aries in the First House is about your fierce independence regarding your title, reputation and appearance as you are determined to be quite free when it comes to your profile and look. The transits going over Diana suggest some years of relaunches for you, both with your portrait and your persona. You are heavily Virgo, though and will enjoy incredible job opportunities and career solutions, mid 2027 to mid 2028, no matter what happens in 2026.
Dear Jessica,
I continue to be amazed at the accuracy of your predictions regarding world events, and feel that thanks to you honoring your “duty to warn,” I am in a much better position to face the current and coming upheavals. As always, thank you very much for sharing your gifts with us.
You mention divisions within the U.S., and I’m wondering if you might be able to comment on the No Kings (No Dictators/No Tyrants) movement, which held its first protests on June 14, 2025 (Trump’s 79th birthday). The next day of protest is scheduled for March 28; it was already going to be a huge nationwide event, and I believe it will be even bigger now, due to the war and other events. Any thoughts on this growing mass movement, which seems to be uniting millions of Americans rather than dividing us?
Also, regarding the U.S. midterm elections, to be held on Nov. 3., what do you see? It’s expected to be an anti-Republican blowout, but it’s also apparent that Trump wants to manipulate the outcome in any way possible. There seems to be a growing sense that he will try, but his efforts won’t work this time, for whatever reason (e.g., Epstein Files, unpopular war and domestic policies, bad economy, stronger political opposition, the Big Macs and Diet Cokes catching up to him). Do you see anything regarding the outcome of the midterms?
[By the way, this new war, which the U.S. government is calling “Operation Epic Fury,” has already been nicknamed “Operation Epstein Fury.” He’s not fooling anyone. 🙂 ]
Finally–I only have two Aries factors: in Jupiter at 18 degrees, and Fortuna at 28 degrees; and have one Libra factor, in Vesta at 5 degrees. I am looking for either a new job or a financial boon sufficient to allow me to quit my current one; recent management changes have left me feeling undervalued after 17+ years. Supposedly, I have missed several astrological windows to move on in recent years, but the timing never seemed right; however, it really does feel different this time, and I really don’t want to miss my chance. It just feels really urgent this time around. This month, I’m staying under the radar while lining my ducks up. Can you offer me any insights here? I am really ready to move on.
Bless you, and thank you so much, as always!
Thank you. The ‘No Kings’ movement continues for 20 years, though it may change its name. It is reflected by Pluto in Aquarius (people power) in opposition to the Leo factors in so many leaders’ charts (Leo rules kings). I made a prediction about the midterms some time ago and unless the Republicans become a diverse group, it’s a Democrat win. The Lenormand Oracle said ‘Bouquet’ which is a mixed bunch. As for Donald, he has been on a downward spiral for years. He occasionally bobs up but then spirals down again. Away from the news in America, you are looking for a new job. You are a Cancer woman with a Gemini and Virgo stellium, which looks good. Stay on the edge of A.I. and also E.V. from the end of April, through 2026, 2027, 2028 and beyond as those are two revolutions which could set you free personally and professionally. The revolution in communication, information and transportation is coming and if you keep on switching direction as it also changes, you will be far ahead. You will have a stunning work cycle when Jupiter goes into Virgo from mid 2027 to mid 2028 which may be later than you wanted, but Jupiter in the Sixth House is associated with quite rare opportunities and solutions which are not only life-enhancing, but also good for your wellbeing too. Aim for the really big goals then if you like. Later on, after 2028, your role and goals in life will be a holiday from the real world; a different universe to inhabit.
Hi Jessica,
I have Mars and Ceres in Aries, which means I’ll be having my Mars return. How will this cycle affect me?
Also, you had previously suggested that I might enter a powerful partnership in January or February this year. I’ve met a Pisces man in January and I’m feeling excited about the prospects but also nervous about something going wrong. Any advice on how moving forward with this relationship?
Astrology is really about ducking and diving, a lot of the time, so if you don’t want too much heat in your life, slow down and cool down when it comes to your reputation, name, appearance and title. Your ID and any government or big business angles on your face, too. A classic example would be your face on Facebook, if you are even on there. When in doubt with a Mars Return (and also Mars in conjunction with Ceres) try to reduce the emotional temperature and be highly strategic, rather than just racing towards a situation. The Pisces man is in a great cycle for courtship and the bedroom (until June 30th) so he obviously got lucky when he met you. You don’t say if either of you has children or if he wants them, but fatherhood is a hovering question, also until June 30th for him, as there is an opportunity or solution there he will find hard to resist. No need to be nervous. Ask the Tarot and Oracles on this website to help you navigate.
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for pointing this really important time out. I think I am really strongly affected, as I have my Chiron return (Aries), my Mars return (Aries), my Pluto and my Uranus in Libra… I have now, for the most part, taken over the family business but obviously the world-wide uncertainty is weighing heavily on us, as we are involved in foreign countries, export, etc. My father (almost hitting 90) is still not letting go entirely of the business but I have gained a lot of traction in the last year, digging my heals in and going my path, though I still sometimes stumble. Health issues for both my parents keep cropping up, especially my mother at the moment. I am hoping you can shed some light on my overall situation. I feel a little overwhelmed at the moment. Thank you so much!!
I am sorry you feel overwhelmed. Your parents have health issues and you have a family business to run during huge global instability. You will save or make a lot of money after June 30th as Jupiter changes signs and although there will be a change in the balance of power with the business, real estate or banking in early 2027, for that entire period (right through to the middle of next year) there are opportunities and solutions. It will be a period of economic growth and expansion for you if you take the answers being offered to you in July and August 2026. You do, of course, have to look at the financial aspects of both your parents’ situations and it’s important that you find a way to manage the issues about who/what is in control even if it means consulting a professional. You have karma with one or more of those foreign countries you are involved with, so one situation will be stuck on a loop for a few more months. It ends in the final week of July when you realise a familiar pattern from 18-19 years ago has stopped. You are owed, or you were owed.
Jessica your prediction are calming. I feel astrology is nothing but karma playing out. I do not seek personal advice but worry about suffering of other people. I can’t fully express the peace your predictions give me.
That’s very kind of you, thank you.
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for the great article and pointing out what to look for. It seems like I check all the boxes, being born in 1973 and so have both Uranus and Pluto in Libra, and also have Aesculapia, Chiron and Mars in Aries. I am starting a new job this week (not what I really wanted but takes care of medical benefits) and hoping for a better one in the future. I am happily divorced and not looking to date/marry again. How will these transits affect me in 2026 and what should I watch for? I value your advice as it has helped me make sense of what is happening, thanks
Thank you very much. You do check all the boxes with that chart. You are also a Scorpio with an Aquarius stellium which is far more important, as in your solar and natal chart, 2026 is about friends and groups. Transformation is ongoing with that, and control and power questions need to be answered. At the same time, life 18-19 years ago is having an impact as there was never any closure and there is karma to be worked through here, until the final week of July 2026.
Hi Jessica!
I have Vesta in Aries (22), Proseepina in Aries (2) and Saturn in Aries (14).
I am curious how is this going to play out for me?
There is a lot in your shop window. You are upfront, front-and-centre and not backward about coming forward in life, even though it tests your patience as well. The transits in Aries in your First House ask you go to back as far as your childhood and teenage years and remember how you did with situations where you needed to come first, be first, go forward and be judged. I dare say with Saturn in Aries you found this really challenging, but as you will have your Saturn Return in Aries you need to catch up with your past and figure out how you are going to be at the front of things, this time around. The Tarot can really help you there; the Oracles too. Use your E.S.P. to guide you as it all unfolds.
I have signed up two spiritual healing courses in mid-April I hope Mars will help me with the learning process so I will be able to improve my life and helping others. I also have Pluto in Libra at 29 and I start feeling I’m ready to have a new romantic relationship since my late partner who was with me for over 20 years had passed away two years ago. The past two years have been very difficult with many months I felt completely hopeless and worried I would never feel happy or joy again which made me very scared. I am better now eventhough there are moments I still feel hurt and lonely. Will this transit bring me a positive new start?
You are a Sun Leo with a huge Leo stellium in your Fifth House of courtship, the bedroom, parenthood and also step-parenting. Jupiter (growth, hope, expansion, solutions) goes into Leo from June 30th and remains there until mid 2027, delivering one solution after another with romance. You very sadly lost your partner, only quite recently, but the cycles of time will come back in your favour. In fact, from the final week of July 2026 you will realise that you are owed from life as it was 18-19 years ago, in terms of intimacy. In 2027 it’s the same; your life as it was 18-19 years prior comes back to you thematically and you will see the world repaying you somehow. It would be textbook for any new partner on offer to come with children, teenagers or adult children as part of the package. Your Beatrix Potter experience! This Leo transit by Jupiter and the South Node natally, in your Fifth House, is matched by transformative Pluto in Aquarius in your Seventh House. That lingers for years and if you have the willpower could make you one half of a power couple.
Hi Jessica. I have an Aries stellium and would appreciate your thoughts on these Mars/Chiron transits. Thank you as always for sharing your time and expertise.
Lauren
Thank you Lauren. Yes, you have an Aries stellium and a Capricorn stellium too. The two cardinal signs which are square each other and so hard to square. This is likely to come up for you as ‘squaring’ your ambition to be at the top, and stay at the top (of success and status) doesn’t always work with your Aries side, which wants to be first, come first and be upfront and also front-and-centre. Some organisations or institutions prefer people to be slow and steady and respect the system. It would not normally be an issue except for these Aries transits, so just be aware of that in your chart. Astrology is about avoidance so if you don’t want to run into a classic inner conflict over your Capricorn and Aries approaches (so different) just lower the stakes. If you were an Olympic athlete, for example, you wouldn’t try to win the Gold and smooch the famous faces in the crowd, by rushing and pushing your way to the finishing line. You can’t have both. You are a Sun Aries as well so do have these two cycles going on; work (the South Node in Virgo in the Sixth House, which rules your job, academic career or unpaid calling) and also self-promotion (the Chiron, Neptune and Saturn transit of Aries, much evident in April). If you get stuck with this as it comes around use the Tarot to give you insights. For some reason I am seeing Rudolf Nureyev clairvoyantly and I have no idea why!
Hi Jessica,
I am a Capricorn Sun and I have 4 stellium in Aries, one is Aries in Chiron.
I also have 11 degrees in Pluto in Libra. What will affect me with Aries ? I am still single hopefully I am able to meet a new boyfriend or does it sound gloom that Pluto is in Libra ?
Thanks
New boyfriends are Fifth House and Seventh House matters. You are actually in the best position in 12 years to find a date who can expand your horizons, until June 30th. In fact you may already have been introduced or re-introduced. Jupiter in the solar Seventh House only comes past every 12 years so this is a really big chance for you; be optimistic.
hello Jessica , thank you so much for your generosity and articles.
Its been announced in the UK the new route proposed for the grid upgrade it to be potentially behind where I live in Derbyshire. Consultations are taking place but we all know it probably been decided. It makes me very sad to see swathes of countryside ruined , blighted with huge pylons , EMFs and wildlife habitation demolished. Governments never give wildlife equal status , they share this planet and we are only guardians. Do you think it will happen or at the very least kicked into the long grass for another 20 year, we were fortunate to have HS2 shelved so I am hoping it will be the same.
Thank you. I am sorry to hear this about the countryside near you and the pylons. Derbyshire is very special. I wonder if underground cables would be the alternative. To look at the astrology you would need charts for the minute the project was announced, which I don’t possess. Derbyshire does have Aries the ram on its coat of arms so you’d suspect Aries in the horoscope, but again we don’t have a chart for its ‘birth’. It is to the Tarot and Oracles we have to turn, then. “What will the outcome be for the Derbyshire grid upgrade proposal (dated March 2026) within 24 months?” You should do this yourself as the question began with you. I will take a look. The Queen of Wands is the answer. A female leader; perhaps even Queen Camilla or the future Queen Catherine. Camilla doesn’t live there but has visited Chatsworth, which was certainly home to the regal Duchess of Devonshire. The Princess of Wales has hiked there. Perhaps this is another female leader, but the answer rests with her. And there is a great concern with future generations of children. Would they want to grow up with this? I wonder if we’re talking about an existing female leader here or if this is somebody who comes up and breaks through. You do have a few women in power there in the Green Party. I’d bank on that but have a look at the cards from your point of view.
I have no idea what’s going on, but right after 26th January I lost my job. Since then, more and more issues have been appearing with the building where my flat is and I fee more stuck and unable to move forward than ever in general. I’m trying to defend the fact that these problems have existed for years and are the responsibility of the management company. The repair that was done last year on my property was done poorly, and new issues have appeared. Now a big bill is hitting us, and nobody is doing anything o it and I’ve also had more unexpected tax payments.
Uranus is really hitting my birth chart hard, as far as I can see. Please, Jessica, is there any liberation on the horizon? Having a Cancer stellium and Jupiter in Cancer, this and last year has cost me more in property issues than ever before, so I can’t really say Jupiter in Cancer has worked for me so far. The only hope I have is that I have my Node at 29 degrees, so maybe there will be some last-minute luck before Jupiter moves to Leo, when it reaches 29 degrees of Cancer.
On the other hand, I’m seriously thinking about selling the property, if I can and reinvesting it by moving to the other side of the world, learning a new language, and hopefully changing careers. Interestingly, I met someone a couple of months ago with a unique connection unlike anything I’ve experienced before. It felt like we had met before and already knew so much about each other just by sitting in silence.
He lives on the other side of the world, and just as I’m thinking about moving there, he is looking at moving to my side, London.
Life is crazy at the moment. Any psychic and astrological advice would be greatly appreciated. Much love
I am very sorry you lost your job. Your flat is always a big stretch at the moment, with bills to pay. You feel as if Uranus in Taurus is hitting your birth chart. You have a Cancer stellium and wonder why Jupiter in Cancer has not delivered opportunities and solutions with your flat. You’d now like to sell it and emigrate, leaving London. I will focus on this rather than your love life as you will be in different countries. At 9, 22, 28, 29 Cancer your factors are certainly there, but have not been transited. As you suspect it will happen later. So that is a simple explanation for Jupiter not giving you what you want with your flat. Your Ascendant is 9 Cancer but your birth time is a round hour, so very unlikely to be true. In fact had you genuinely had your Ascendant at 9 Cancer, Jupiter at 9 Cancer would have given you an unforgettable opportunity to improve. your profile and image as a home owner. Bad repairs don’t really fit the bill! I would speculate your Ascendant is a different sign entirely or perhaps just a far later degree of Cancer. The other factors will be triggered in May and June 2026 at 22, 28, 29. Big finish, you might say. You are a Sun Libra who has indeed had years of financial instability and uncertainty with Uranus in Taurus (since 2018) but that stops in the final week of April. Ceres is also in Taurus so by May there will have been a negotiation and compromise over money, or perhaps the flat. You will very likely emigrate with Uranus in Gemini from the final week of April, for many years into the future. You can also travel in the mind by staying at home and taking a radically different path in life with a foreigner. So you do have that option; staying in London but getting swept up in a new adventure with your recently arrived love interest. You will love it when Jupiter goes through Virgo from mid 2027 to mid 2027 and forms a series of conjunctions to your Virgo factors. Your workload and wellbeing benefit enormously from the growth and expansion then, if you take all the chances you are given.
Oh Jessica, this one concerns me. Thank you for such an informative blog, but as someone who nearly lost their life due to a long and abusive relationship, getting out and trying my best to give my three boys a decent upbringing, having pluto in libra right now is terrifying. Can you please offer some insight? I have a very supportive piscean partner, we have been together 8 years this year but I’m the breadwinner etc as they are my boys (my main thoughts, not his, as it was so easy for their own father to abandon them I figure why wouldn’t anyone else). World affairs seem troubling enough even without this extra complexity on top! Thank you in advance.
I am sorry you had such a dreadful relationship and you have done very well to raise your three boys, with the reward of a sensitive Pisces partner – and hard work for you too being the breadwinner. Pluto in Libra is a common placement to everybody in your year at school so you would not have been the only one going through a tough situation with a husband or boyfriend. As you know, Pluto represents power. It can work many different ways; you found your power in pushing back against an overpowering ex, then found a different kind of power in your next relationship; one in which you have the economic control. It takes many forms. You have Pluto at 27 Libra so it will take many years before Saturn goes to 27 Aries in opposition, then eventually Neptune at 27 Aries in opposition. The balance of power will change then. It will require plenty of time and space to adjust to and you will need to look at the way the relationship with your Piscean partner (and other kinds of partners too, like work partners) operates as it will need to meet change with change. You have a Leo stellium too so will thoroughly enjoy your role as queen to a younger court, starting on June 30 2026, when Jupiter enters Leo. You are owed good karma from 18-19 years ago, in the second half of 2026 and 2027 and will have seen amazing opportunities and solutions with and through your three boys. It’s a rare period of expansion, hope and growth and whatever you were doing with the world of babies, children or young adults 18-19 years ago has clearly earned you some spiritual rewards. Enjoy July, August 2026 in particular.
Hello Jessica ,
Thank you for this interesting article!
Please give me some insights. I’m going through a rough time , being heartbroken, ending my marriage and trying to sell a property.
Is there an end in sight of all this trouble?
Thank you Ayse
I am so sorry you are going through it Ayse. I will look at your solar (Sun Sign) public chart and private (natal) chart to see what’s going on. First of all, you are a Sun Libra so you have Saturn, Chiron and Neptune all in Aries in your Seventh House of marriage, separation, divorce and de facto partnership. This can only happen rarely in history so if this feels like a big event, it is. This becomes easier in slow stages, but give yourself plenty of time to recover – and certainly a lot of time before you start thinking about dating again. After the first quarter of 2028 you will find a completely different kind of partnership on offer, more like a holiday from the real world – a real escape for you. You don’t say if you had children or not, but if you are a parent, you may want to avoid any major questions about power, control, who has the upper hand, who is top dog and so on. I am sure you would do that anyway, if you do have children, but be more sensitive to that in 2026, 2027 and if possible keep the stakes as low as possible. Again, looking far into the future, as you go through 2028, 2029, 2030 if you did want to start again, you may find children are a powerful new part of the story for you; for example with stepchildren. The property sale will be far more certain, stable and less unpredictable after the final week of April and it does look as if some kind of deal or bargain will be made in May 2026. In fact, the situation with your shared money and valuables, any legacy to each other, bills – will be on firm ground for the first time since 2018, from the final week of April. Again, take your time before entering into any new partnership, please, if it involves money and property – and that message holds from 2028, into 2029. You may well find you are offered a relationship which is a vacation from the real world – but think about one that does not involve a joint bank account or home, at least until Saturn in Taurus is out of your life. The signs are really pointing to a few years of focus on other things apart from partners – and then eventually a different kind of relationship which doesn’t involve legally binding commitments over a house or apartment, or finance. You have a Gemini and Virgo stellium which suggests that from April 2026, and certainly by July 2026, a radical change that brings you independence thanks to short journeys, or neighbouring travel (even a move to a neighbouring place) is coming. Once you do move you will find that you have exciting new room to move in terms of commuting or taking weekend breaks in other places. In fact, travelling is in your future for some time. You will make new friends and enjoy old friends twice as much in July, August 2026 and a group that you put more energy into, or join for the first time, will reward you hugely until mid 2027. Your lifestyle and workload will improve enormously from mid 2027 to mid 2028 if you take the opportunities on offer then. It may be a new job or a new way to look after your fitness and health, but your Virgo side will respond strongly in August, September 2027 as you realise what a rare piece of luck somebody or something is. Until then you need self-care. Right now, going into April, May 2026 you need time off/away from thinking about your heartbreak. I strongly recommend this half-hour healing meditation on YouTube by Amanda Jackson Russell.
Thank you ….
Dear Jessica,
Thank you for your writing and illumination of this Aries cycle. As a women who has a stellium in Libra and Virgo, Chiron in Aries many planets which sit in the 2-5 and 5-12 degrees ‘space’, I am wondering how to best embrace this period.
My work life has had unexpected changes and as I continue to meditate and hand over these new experiences I can see that all will be okay.
Family life has been the same this year.
I love your final words of this passage on Mars and Chiron in Aries of finding a peace-Full way through. I am hoping for this journey. I also love the note of as this is the end stage of Chiron in Aries we can embrace the idea of ending a cycle. With this said, I am wondering if you can please share your insights on how to approach this period best and what to keep as a meditative focus. Wishing all the best during this passage in April .
Regards
Tara
Thank you Tara. Yes, your natal chart is affected by these transits in Aries. The most important part here is that you are a Sun Virgo woman, with stelliums in Virgo, Libra and Aquarius. So, in both your solar and natal chart, the focus is on your Sixth House of workload and wellbeing in 2026, at least until the final week of July. In your solar chart you have Pluto in Aquarius transiting your Sixth House. In your natal chart you have the South Node in Virgo transiting your Sixth House. You ‘live’ here anyway so if we open the door here, we find your computer and smart phone, with work and wellbeing prominent on both. There may be an all-important diary, schedule or calendar there. Any fitness gear (yoga mat or walking shoes). Your crucial fridge and kitchen with food and drink that really counts for you. A bathroom which is all about your daily routine. What is happening here is slow transformation. There is also a reminder of the way this house was 18-19 years ago because there is unfinished business from that time with your workload or wellbeing which is being thematically repeated in 2026. It does not stop until the final week of July when you have karmic closure. (Say, with an employer, colleague, staff member – or doctor, naturopath, healer, personal trainer). There are major questions here about the balance of power and control with others, too, which are best addressed by using your willpower and self-control. Your Libra stellium in the Seventh House of your natal chart also shows up, as does the North Node in Pisces transit of your solar Seventh House. You also ‘live’ here so partnerships, pairs, couples and duets of all kinds surround you – and always have. Some are personal, others are platonic or professional. Balancing the scales and keeping the differences between you and him fair – or you and her, symmetrical – is a lifelong task. Again there is a story 18-19 years ago with familiar themes. It doesn’t stop until the final week of July. You could call it karma, owed or owing. That is why life is on repeat with this duet in your life. Sometimes there is a conflict, contest or feud. Again, this would be karmically loaded from 18-19 years ago and not be truly over until July. The final important stellium is in Aquarius. In your natal chart this is in the Eleventh House of groups and friends. You also ‘live’ here much of the time. The sisterhood and brotherhood of diverse individuals who must share the space together in your life and for whom you play a key role; never actually immersed in the group but very much its supplier. In your natal chart this shows up as a really fortunate Jupiter in Cancer transit until June 30th. So, you are here to take opportunities and solutions in your social life, with friends, with social media, with teams/clubs/bands/political parties/charities/societies/associations at a 12 year level of luck. Hopefully you already took some. This entire area of your life is also subject to slow, deep transformation and the balance of power and control will shift with your friends and others in the group.
Thanks Jessica.
Very informative and thought provoking.
Looks like I am in for a ride.
Thankyou
Well, I don’t know what to say, after reading 3 of your latest blogs. Remarkable…. and thank you for the perspective, even though it is quite frightening. Things being thrown into chaos and danger. The events are unfolding told just as you said they would, the middle East and the issues with UK-US relationship. What I can’t understand is how I missed your warning regarding travel dates. Im booked with QTAR Airlines for 19th March, it was meant as a birthday present to myself! Big birthday and all that! Still can’t believe that I missed that. I am waiting for a refund, as I am hoping that QTAR push the dates forward for refunds, as I cannot travel now. I hope that happens quickly. I am grateful that I am not one of the 1000’s of stranded passengers across the world! I remember from when I first became a member you kept saying Esptein would not go away for the Andrew and the Clintons would be caught up in it also.
I am an Aries and have lots of Aries in my chart, my husband is a Libra. He has had a career change, and I would like one, but I don’t know what. Any suggestions?
Thank you. I’m sorry you missed the Mercury Retrograde dates. I usually publish them 1-2 years in advance so you can avoid major trips. The ‘re’ in retrograde is usually a refund so let’s hope they get a wriggle on. You want a new career. You have Capricorn and Gemini stelliums, so suit a corporation, big company and traditional, hierarchical structure with the CEO on the top floor and the intern on the bottom floor. Middle management and all that. You would already know this from life to date. You are patient enough to climb to the top and respect the system that works and the ‘top people’ who run that system. The Gemini stellium suggests that from the final week of April for years into the future, the global revolution in E.V. (electric vehicles) and also A.I. (artificial intelligence) would be a good place to restart a career or retrain. It will affect the media, the internet, public transport, the car industry and so on.
Hi Jessica,
I would like to thank you (didn’t know where else to place this comment). I’m a Sun Libra and re-read the yearly prediction today. It says ” a very special group of brilliant people surrounds you” in July and August and that these months would be unforgettable. Also, you predict travelling.
Well, the company I work for will open a new office in a new market and I’ll be part of a team of colleagues commuting between two cities, actually countries, during that period, and probably a bit longer. We’re busy preparing this common project now and I’m very much looking forward to this. So again, thank you very much!
Thank you for letting me know how the prediction is working for you. I’m always fascinated to hear the end result. Have a terrific trip.
wow. incredible to read in 2026, Jessica. we couldnt have imagined the world in 2020 and now having Americas charts triggered in aries in 2026. time to buckle up and yet tired of bracing for impact.
Hi Jessica, Thank you for this post. I have been going back to re-read it several times and trying to put my questions into words, as a lot has happened since October of 2025, and I want it to make sense ( I apologise in advance for the length of my comment). I have Chiron at 2 Aries and Ops at 27 Aries. How are the current conjunctions/transits going to affect me? For some context, last October I had a wake-up call. I have been running my own business as an animal/pet photographer since 2017. It has not been easy, and beginning in August of 2024 to October of 2025, it felt like a Sisyphean task, where financially (I accrued so much debt it’s embarrassing) and any creativity or love for my art was gone. I can’t explain what happened in October of 2025, but suddenly, after a conversation with a friend a veil lifted and I decided to let go of my business, where now I will only take clients because I want to work with them and that is a big maybe. In the meantime, I have found a part-time job to pay off my debt and have discovered I feel liberated. My new job has me very active, walking upwards of 10,000 steps a day, and I have found myself dare I say it, happy for the first time in a long time. There is possible opportunity to move up in this company, which has me hopeful. My questions are how the current conjunctions are going to affect my chart and my life moving forward, and is there any explanation to my sudden change in October and feeling like I had the wool pulled over my eyes for so long. Astrologically speaking, does it seem like I would/should return to my business, or should I concentrate on moving on? For the first time and what feels like ever, I have no plan other than getting my financial, physica and emotional health in order. I have no idea what I want to do next. My new job involves the food industry, and I do have a passion for food and travel. As always, thank you for taking the time to read this and for giving any guidance. I love your new website layout and design BTW.
Thank you. I am glad you like the new website. No need to apologise. You’ve not made money from pet photography but have found happiness and debt relief in a new job, which keeps you fit. Could you go back to pet photography? You’re also keen on food and travel. You’re a Sun Sagittarius woman with Sagittarius and Aquarius stelliums. You are indeed in the best finance cycle for solutions and opportunities in 12 years until June 30. In July and August you will be given new opportunities with foreigners, foreign countries and foreign cultures at home. This feels quite natural as you are born explorer of other places, but also other faces (from other places) at home. Do follow that treasure trail all the way to mid 2027. You will also find far more power and control in your life by taking your place with a group. It will be a diverse group and together you can move mountains. Pets and small animals do show up in your chart. You spent your last, past life with them, which is why you want to photograph them now, but there are so many ways to welcome dogs, cats and so on into your life without it needing to be a business. Do focus on another culture or nationality; you could easily travel by mid 2027.
Hi Jessica— as always excellent insights. You’ve been kind to follow along with my journey with the ex husband (abuser, cheater, great betrayer) that you’d deciphered is from a past life with the mistress possibly too. I was ready to give up on astrology because every big climactic event seemed to not bring the justice or the catalyst I had been waiting or hoping for .. now Saturn and Neptune also in Aries and a Libra full moon April 1.. him being a libra sun 15 degrees and a cancer moon 15 degrees (Oct 8 1993) and me a Capricorn moon 5 degrees w Scorpio stellium (Oct 24 1990) we both have Capricorn Uranus & Neptune.. his Saturn is retrograde Aquarius 23 degrees.. mine is Capricorn 19 degrees… here now though w Uranus’ last days in my partnership sector.. is this when he finally gets his and I get to see and experience justice? And then I finally can say goodbye to this chapter? How can I prepare, what can I do to make the most of this period. I can’t fathom another season goes by without any movement. You’d projected karma was due for him and “her” starting end of January I believe. I haven’t yet personally witnessed anything tangible but I know things move discreetly and are often unseen until they’re not. These last 3 years I’ve done a lot of hard work to try to repair the damage of what is largely and truly irreparable, but maybe not enough for Saturn’s rewards? All the love from Canada and as always thank you for your profound insights. Xoxo
Thank you. If your former partner is a Sun Libra man, that’s enough to know his situation with both yourself and his new partner in 2026, 2027, 2028. The reason for this is Saturn in Aries, Chiron in Aries (which comes and goes in 2026) and Neptune in Aries. The sign Aries rules his Seventh House of partners and also enemies. So she is the former and you are the latter. He will be dealing with the waiting game and test of patience that comes with Saturn until early 2028. Chiron is always an experiment. And Neptune is always a loss of boundaries which can result in confusion about where the line is drawn. If you don’t want to be cast in the role of perpetrator of any of this (particularly the waiting game) then leave the stage and abandon the script. It will be far easier for you to hand over the role to somebody else – like her – and perhaps to her own former partner/s. Your chart shows the end of Uranus in Taurus in your own Seventh House in about four weeks now. That ends the 2018-2026 cycle of shock, freedom and independence. At the same time you had Neptune, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces in your Fifth House, which rules the bedroom, as well as pregnancy and any children. That cycle is 2/3 over and in the final week of July, over completely. You are not quite ready to move on yet, but you will be. If you want to cut cords with him and her, pick up Lifesweeping in your Premium Members’ library and follow the steps. You may also want to clear your aura and chakras. If you do this correctly you will feel lighter and better. And be freer.
