Aries Monthly Horoscope

Aries Weather and Your Image

Near April 2^nd, 9^th, 13^th, 15^th, 17^th, 19^th and 20^th, you have the Sun, Mars, Neptune, Mercury, the New Moon and Saturn making aspects in Aries. The Sun in the First House in Aries brings the scorching self-analysis that comes when you ask yourself, “Who am I? What do people think of me? How do people really see me?”

The First House is about your name, face, reputation, image and appearance. It’s about your surface as opposed to your substance. When the Sun passes through this zone of your chart, it will single out and clearly pinpoint who you are at least as far as the rest of the world is concerned. It will show you very clearly and obviously how you’re seen. Even famous people become overexposed now. It’s like standing on an old Hollywood film set under a giant spotlight. This can be an amazingly illuminating and useful time. The Sun says, “How are you doing? How are you rating? How do you feel about the way other people view you?”

This is not a good time to work on your image, appearance, look, style or reputation. Neptune is confusing. There are no boundaries. Neptune is muddled. Saturn is really limiting. There is an escape from the real world and your real self here. A classic example is a digital twin or false name. Perhaps, dressing up as a woman (when you are a man) or having extreme cosmetic surgery, hair plugs and so on. Yet, the real world is very much here, Aries. Saturn says, “Once you’re in this, you’re in it until 2028.” So, take your time.

If you buy clothes now or arrange to be photographed, filmed or framed in the public eye you may find you are out of your depth but also heavily restricted. Even if you do nothing about a relaunch, self-promotion or publicity at this time, you can expect a series of signs, clues or events to bring you around to image issues.

Your logical mind will be focussed on your appearance, image, reputation and public profile now. You’ll be picking up lots of different facts, figures and soundbites from all kinds of sources (real people as well as the internet) as you tackle the issue of how you are seen in a logical way. You’ll sort out image-related issues on how well they ‘compute’ and ask lots of questions. This applies to your reputation, title, government ID, cosmetic dentistry, resumes, weight, YouTube and anything else which is about your surface rather than your substance. Magazines, newspapers, television, radio and Google will play an important part in the way you manage typical First House issues like your presentation or packaging.

The best way to deal with April? There are easier times to hire a publicist or organise weight loss or cosmetic surgery. What you sign up for regarding yourself is here for the long haul. That’s Saturn. Don’t fence yourself in more than you have to. Yet, Aries, you do have historic decisions to make about your identity, profile, packaging, presentation.

Uranus in Gemini and Your Web, Media

From April 23^rd–27^th, 2026, Venus and Uranus are in Gemini. I have been talking about this cycle for quite some time, but now it’s here. The Third House rules brothers and sisters, neighbours, cousins, communication and short-haul travel (a quick plane trip, an overnight stay or a weekend car expedition). Finally, it rules the web and media.

That can sound like a mixed bag until you realise that as a child, you were on your bike or on the local bus with siblings or cousins nearby or living with you. At the same time, you were likely babysitting each other, watching radio and TV, reading and developing your communication with each other! As adults now, there are still familiar themes here about the web, maybe the media, the nature of the sibling or cousin relationship and the local, regional or neighbouring scene.

While the Sun passes through the Third House from late May to June 2026, it will shine a huge spotlight on all these areas of your life so you can judge them and make more radical decisions. I would expect the ‘What was that?’ shockwaves of late April to result in some calendar or diary dates in May and June when you really get to grips.

Uranus is the revolution that sets you and other people free. It takes great insight to appreciate how hidebound you are sometimes. It may be far more obvious to you that he, she or they are shackled on some level. Yet, in all cases, this is the sudden, wholly unexpected, overturning of the apple cart that begins the new journey.

Communication – your way with words and images, or ideas and messages – is your memo, speech, website, Substack, social media, statement, essay, academic paper, letter, meeting, postcard, song lyric, screenplay or just your voice in any medium. You may have had no idea just how restricted you were by the old internet, but who wants to be controlled by Zuckerberg, Bezos, Google and Musk? Too funny. Something really big is coming and the first signs are late April, Aries.

What kind of driver are you? What sort of tourist or traveller are you? How would you rate yourself on the road, in the air or on the water? All these questions matter more now because an important trip or an important transportation issue (car, bike, anything) is about to go to the top of your list. This (in the bag by July) will frame ‘the new getting around’ and it may be electric public transport, ditching the car or organising a new life in a neighbouring place, say, commuting NYLON or NY-LA.
