Mars enters Aries

Mars crosses into Aries on 9 April 2026 at 19:36 UTC.

An ingress is simply a body passing 0° of a sign, but it marks a genuine change of register: Mars in Aries operates through fire means and at a cardinal tempo. Mars redirects where effort and irritation go, and how directly people are willing to compete.

Aries is ruled by Mars, so for as long as Mars is here its behaviour is coloured by that planet as well as by its own nature.
