March 2026 Horoscopes: Aries Season, Decoded
Heads up: we’re launching a new monthly series with Luna Tan, popularly known as the cult favourite astrologer and tarot reader Indie Tarot Fairies. With seven years of fortune-telling under her belt, Tan joins us to decode the cosmic shifts ahead. This month, it’s all about Aries, and the season focuses on bold moves, fresh starts and saying what you actually mean.
By Carlos Keng,
Aries season often represents the beginning of a new astrological cycle, and can mark many new beginnings for us. Aries represents forward-moving action, initiative, and often taking things by the horns. There’s no more skirting around topics, no more back and forth, as Aries brings in a season of direct pursuits. Our more passive signs might struggle with this more “aggressive” season, but you might find yourself surprisingly more outspoken than usual, and more willing to take the leap towards your goal. Aries season is here to get you to take that bold step forward and think later.
What’s in store for you in Aries Season 2026?
For best accuracy, read your horoscope for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. Your Sun shows the overall theme, your Moon reflects emotional undercurrents, and your Rising sign reveals how these influences are most likely to show up in your everyday life.
General Advice
We are slowly coming out of the haze of Mercury retrograde, so Aries season might not start out with a bang — more like… a soft declaration. We will be in a post-retrograde shadow period, where things start rolling back into action. This takes about two weeks, so the bulk of the collective can still expect some form of lull in communication.
This season’s moon phases include a Full Moon in Libra on 1 April, which brings relationships into focus. Think of it as a check-in point — a time to reflect on your dynamics with others, and whether anything needs to shift or be let go (like resentment or expectations). Then comes the New Moon in Aries on 17 April, marking a fresh start. After working through the retrograde, this is a great time to set intentions, kickstart new ideas, and think about what you want to build over the next astrological year.

Signature Move: Trying out boxing to externalise your frustrations
Aries season nudges our usually chill bulls into action — speak up, shake things a little, and focus on mental health and spirituality. The Full Moon in Libra (1 Apr) spotlights your routines and work ethic, gently pushing out-of-balance areas back into harmony.
Your stress management skills will also be tested, take note that everyone is going through Aries season, so the impulsivity and assertiveness will likely be influencing the collective in ways that might ruffle your feathers (such as lack of manners and impatience).
With the New Moon in Aries (17 Apr), bold energy peaks. We recommend channeling this build up in Aries energy towards physical exercise to get your blood pumping for the right reasons (Have you ever seen an angry bull? Yeah, we don’t want to either.)
