Need an excuse to mix up the mocktails, slip into sequins and light off leftover fireworks? March 20 (5:01 AM EDT) is officially astrology’s New Year as the spring equinox marks the start of Aries season 2025.
The Sun slips out of winter’s grip in Pisces on March 20 and leaps into spring with action-star Aries, refreshing the cosmic calendar in Tropical (Western) astrology. Aries season always begins with the spring equinox.
Since Aries is a pioneering cardinal sign, its message is clear during the four weeks of Aries season: out with the old, in with the new!
Fasten your seatbelt: Aries season is accelerant
Turn up the volume on both life and love because it’s officially “go!” time. Just be warned: Ruled by combative, daredevil Mars, Aries does not have an “off” switch. Slip into your safety gear for this wild, four-week ride, until April 19. You’re likely to break every speed limit along the way.
Still slogging through late-stage winter hibernation? Fear not. With the Sun in this active, daring, physical fire sign, we’ll all feel too restless to be cooped up indoors. Trust in the power of kinetic energy, which takes hold fast during Aries season 2025. Once you start moving you’ll be swept into the wave of momentum. Bring on the bike rides, dance-a-thons and pickleball dates!
Which leads us to an essential PSA…
Aries season 2025 has company: Eclipse season, Mercury retrograde AND Venus retrograde
Aries season 2025 doesn’t just announce a fresh astrological year—it throws us straight into the cosmic fast lane this March, since it dovetails with eclipse season, the first of this year’s Mercury retrogrades, and a Venus retrograde. (Yes, this is extremely rare and intense!)
The first Mercury retrograde of 2025 began on March 15, scrambling communication and decision-making until April 7. Venus, retrograde until April 12, stirs up unfinished business in love and money. And on March 29, a solar eclipse in Aries delivers game-changing revelations.
With all this celestial turbulence, impulsivity can bring dire consequences
Aries energy craves momentum, victory, and first-place status, but be mindful not to bulldoze your way to the top. Healthy competition is fine. But veer into cutthroat territory, and you might win the battle but lose the war. Keep your eyes on your goal, but remember: true leaders lift others up, not just themselves.
Love blooms (fast) during Aries season
In love, Aries runs hot, packing on the PDA like Kylie and Timothée (and sometimes like Kourtney and Travis in their honeymoon stage). Keep a steady hand (and tongue?) in all you do: The fiery spirit of Aries can ignite people’s competitive and self-centered sides. You’ll need to check any selfish tendencies and curb your impatience.
Don’t invest too much too fast! (A warning that goes double with this year’s Venus retrograde.) Text trysts and late-night wooings may feel fire hot, but can disappear like a ghost, thanks to the Ram’s impulsive influence. And even if they don’t, how much sexier is it to stay grounded in your own individuality and power? (SO much!)
Warning: Debates heat up quickly with the Sun in Aries, ruled by combative Mars. What starts as an innocent dialogue about loading the dishwasher could quickly spiral into a heated, bridge-burning exchange. When tempers flare, call a time-out.
