Horoscope Aries

21 March - 20 April

From 16 August to 23 August 2026

Love

Dear Aries friends, on 18 August, the retrograde Lunar Node enters Pisces. Although not a planetary transit in the classic sense, this event opens a season of karmic reflection for your Sign on the boundary between what you wish to obtain by force and what should simply be allowed to flow. It is an uncomfortable concept for you, accustomed to conquering rather than welcoming, but on 17 August, Mars forms a square with Neptune, giving you a practical foretaste of the lesson: direct action this week encounters obstacles that are invisible to the naked eye, leading to frustrations born of misunderstandings rather than true conflict. In love, this means the person before you might appear elusive, their intentions unclear not out of malice, but because they too are navigating a mist that the sky generously scatters during these days. The advice is to slow your approach. Fortunately, on the same day, Mercury forms a trine with Saturn, offering the most important conversations a solidity that offsets the Neptunian haze: if you have something serious to say, after waiting for the right moment, your words will be heard with the gravity they deserve. Finally, Venus sextile Jupiter adds a touch of emotional generosity that softens even the most impatient temperament.

Work

The Mars-Neptune square can generate confusion over roles and responsibilities: ask for written clarification rather than proceeding on the basis of assumptions.
