How Aries Season 2025 Prepares You for the Life-Changing Astrology Ahead (And Your Biggest Leap Yet)
The Astrological New Year is here, marked by the Sun’s entrance into Aries on March 19, 2025 (Equinox)—and with it, a surge of fiery energy, bold ideas, and the stirring sense that something big is trying to break through.
But let’s be real: it may not feel like a fresh start. Instead, it might feel like a pressure cooker. Because this year, Aries season isn’t just about blazing forward—it’s about reflecting, refining, and reawakening the deeper truth of who you are before you leap.
We’re under the influence of four fiery Aries transits right now:
Sun in Aries
Mercury retrograde in Aries
Venus retrograde in Aries and Pisces
Solar Eclipse in Aries
That’s a lot of Aries fire—mixed with retrograde slowdowns and eclipse intensity. This moment is less about pushing ahead at all costs and more about realigning your spark, so when the bigger astrology of the year comes around, you're ready to work it.
And it’s not just the number of transits—it’s where they’re happening. All of this cosmic activity is concentrated in the first decan of Aries, the very area where Neptune and Saturn will conjoin later this year. This decan carries the raw, instinctual impulse of Aries—bold beginnings, courageous action, and the power of self-initiation. We’re beginning a deep clean-up of this part of our charts, and it’s not random—it’s preparation. This zone is about to receive major energetic spotlight, and the Universe is giving us a head start.
To make it even more potent, Mercury and Venus are essentially traveling together through Aries right now, both retrograde. This rare pairing amplifies the reflective energy around communication, connection, and values—stirring up bold honesty and personal realignment. It's an opportunity to bring the heart (Venus) and mind (Mercury) into coherence—especially around the themes of self-worth, desire, and how we express ourselves.
Let's dive into each of the transits separately to understand the individual energies at play.
Sun in Aries
Mar 19 – Apr 19
A New Cycle Begins
The Sun’s move into Aries marks the Astrological New Year and the Spring Equinox, a sacred turning point that invites us into new beginnings—both externally and internally.
Aries is the sign of identity, courage, and instinctual action. It wants to begin. But this year, its fire is tempered by retrogrades and eclipse energy, creating a powerful tension between wanting to leap forward and needing to slow down.
Use this time to:
Reignite your relationship with your purpose
Feel into what’s asking to emerge next
Clarify your "why" before rushing into the "how"
Spring clean to make room for the new (there's nothing quite like clearing clutter to tell the Universe: I'm ready for an upgrade)
Mercury Retrograde in Aries
Mar 14 – Apr 7
Rewiring Your Mindset
Mercury retrograde in Aries invites us to reexamine how we think, speak, and initiate plans. It challenges the impulse to act fast and instead asks: What is your inner dialogue really saying? This retrograde brings the opportunity to slow down and track the mental patterns behind your instinctive reactions.
Expect:
Communication hiccups or delays
Revisiting ideas or conversations from the past
A chance to reframe how you advocate for yourself
Misfires that invite reflection over reaction
Because it’s happening in Aries—and in the same part of the sky that will host Neptune and Saturn later this year—there’s a deeper invitation to clear mental clutter and rewrite your internal narrative around leadership, courage, and taking up space. This isn’t just about tech glitches or rescheduling calls—it’s about making sure the story you’re telling yourself is actually yours, and aligned with who you’re becoming.
Venus Retrograde in Aries and Pisces
Mar 1 – Apr 12
Desire, Worth, and Self-Love Reboot
Venus retrograde turns our attention inward to reexamine what we value—in love, relationships, self-expression, and desire.
In Aries, this transit puts a spotlight on:
Your relationship with yourself
How you pursue (or suppress) your desires
Whether you're honoring your worth or playing small
It’s not always comfortable, but it’s incredibly potent for reclaiming your fire—especially if you’ve been giving more than you’ve been receiving.
Then, as Venus moves back into Pisces toward the end of her retrograde, the tone softens. Pisces brings a layer of compassion, surrender, and spiritual depth. This part of the journey asks us to tune in to what love and worth feel like on a soul level—not just in action, but in presence. We’re invited to let go of old wounds, illusions, or fantasies that cloud our ability to receive real, grounded love—from others, and most importantly, from ourselves.
Solar Eclipse in Aries
March 29
The Bold Reset
Eclipses are cosmic catalysts—and this Solar Eclipse in Aries is a fiery one. Not only is it happening during a season packed with retrogrades and resets, it’s also a North Node eclipse, meaning it’s focused on where you’re going, not just what you’re leaving behind.
North Node eclipses bring a sense of destiny. They highlight themes of growth, momentum, and future alignment. In Aries, this means bold, unfiltered initiation. It’s less about perfect planning and more about saying yes to what your soul has been whispering—or screaming—for you to do.
This eclipse may bring:
Sudden insights or decisions
A push to break free from outdated roles
The courage to begin again—even if it means burning down what no longer fits
Don't expect full clarity yet—but pay attention to what’s shifting. It’s paving the way for something new.
Why All of This Matters: 2025 Is a Launchpad Year
These transits aren’t just random—they’re setting the stage for the massive collective and personal shifts coming down the pipeline over the next few months. Read all about it in my article here.
Here’s what’s ahead, in a nutshell:
Neptune enters Aries on March 30, 2025
For the first time in over 160 years, Neptune moves into Aries. This initiates a spiritual awakening around personal will, passion, and purpose. It's about turning dreams into embodied action.Saturn enters Aries, joining Neptune on May 24, 2025
A new cycle of personal responsibility, maturity, and courage begins. We’re being called to take ownership of our lives in a deeply embodied way.Uranus enters Gemini on July 7, 2025
This kicks off a period of revolution around communication, technology, thought patterns, and the nervous system. It’s fast-moving, mentally activating, and future-focused.
And they all configure with one another—and with Pluto, who recently dipped into Aquarius—giving the whole landscape extra volcanic firepower and transformation vibes.
This astrology is once-in-a-generation. It’s about activating the next version of you. The more cleared, courageous, and connected you are now, the more powerful your momentum will be when these alignments land.
