Aries Daily Horoscope

This Month: Aries

September 2016

September can be a busy month for you, dear Aries. This is often a month of adjustments for you with the Sun in your solar sixth house of work, health, and habits. This year, you have a Solar Eclipse and retrograde Mercury complicating matters, which can point to some redoing, reorganizing, and extra details to take care of before you can feel that you're truly done and ready to move forward. Be as patient as possible and work at getting things right. Entirely new endeavors may be on the horizon, but for now, you'll be in a better place if you focus on projects already in motion. In fact, you might find some gems from the past that you can now approach in a new way. The recycling of projects and ideas can be extraordinarily successful now. Look for critical new insight or information that pushes your work projects or health ahead on the 20-23. 

Jupiter moves into your partnership sector on the 9th, where it will transit for over a year. The year ahead can be a powerful time for meeting a new partner, developing a relationship, coming to beneficial agreements with others, benefiting from counseling, and for partnering up with someone to accomplish a major goal. Someone coming into your life during this period can be significant. You might often enjoy the feeling that you have someone on your side during this cycle, and you're likely to get a sweet taste of this energy this month, particularly on the 25-26. 

It's important to pay particular attention to your work and chores this month, but if you're overdoing this and failing to take care of your need for downtime, you'll get a reminder around the 16th. 

The last week of September stimulates more intense feelings, desires, and attachments, mostly of the pleasant variety, and a stronger focus on relationships and work goals. Mars moving to the top of your solar chart stimulates your ambitions. Career goals are in focus, but this can also be about other lofty objectives that involve your general life path. This motivation builds throughout October as well.

This Year: Aries

2016 Yearly Horoscope Overview

The year ahead is strong for doing important ground work, expanding a business or major project, improving your health, and, in the last quarter of the year, attracting a helpful, possibly wise, partner into your life, or improving and enhancing an existing relationship. Forming a new alliance can be in focus for some, and for others, strengthening a current one brings joy and rewards.

Until September, take every opportunity to expand and improve the work you do and your daily routines, at least up until the point of excess. This can be a time when you find truly suitable doctors, stumble upon the right information that helps you heal, and get especially good health care. Work is available to you, sometimes in excess. However, you’re making improvements that help boost your confidence and joy in what you’re doing.

Intimacy and/or financial matters can be a challenge, especially in the month of June, but also an area of important life lessons. Financially speaking, this is not about your income but about monies owed or shared with others. These are areas of flux and change, and you’d be wise to try to settle debts as much as possible.

While there is unlikely to be any shortage of work to do, the first half of the year can frustrate at times with your ruler, Mars, retrograde. Officially, this occurs from April 17 to June 29, but there is always a shadow period to deal with in the weeks surrounding the proper dates of retrograde periods. Mars is spending an unusual amount of time in your intimacy sector in the first seven months of the year. You will be learning a lot about yourself and a partner during this time. This can be animated time, when there can be struggles with the balance of power in a close relationship. Some of you could be struggling with matters of trust, passion, and possibly betrayal (more likely fear of betrayal) in a partnership in June. Others may be frustrated that they can’t yet move exciting plans forward. The Full Moon on April 22nd occurs towards the beginning of the Mars retrograde period, confounding matters, and heightening emotions surrounding these issues. It can bring an intimate matter to light. Work on anger issues regarding a spouse, intimacy, debts, and obligations to others, which can be sensitive spots for you.

This can also be a time when you’re actively trying to publish an important work, but experiencing delays. Try to treat delays as chances to make improvements, and you’ll end up with a better final product.

This is a great year for getting a whole lot of work done, and the focus should be on improving, expanding, attention to detail, and more confidence with what you’re doing and producing. You could be developing new products or redesigning your business, and recognition for your efforts is forthcoming. There can be wonderful opportunities to hook up with the right people who can help you to grow your business or improve your well-being.

From September 9th forward, you have Jupiter in your relationship sector, helping you attract truly helpful people into your life – people who tend to boost your confidence and who might add some cultural or mental flavor to your life through different perspectives and experiences. For some, partnering can be a profitable venture now.

This is an excellent period for benefiting from consulting or counseling, for public relations, and for negotiations in general. You’re also taking more responsibility for improving your skills.

2016 is strong for making lasting improvements. In December, an especially helpful cycle begins and will be with you for much of 2017. It’s a time for putting your plans into motion as you find concrete channels for expressing yourself uniquely.

This Year in Love: Aries

New! 2016-2017  Love Horoscope for Aries

Uranus continues to move through your sign, dear Aries, and will be most intense for those born April 6-14 or with an Aries Ascendant of 16.5 to 24.5 degrees of Aries. You are looking for freedom to express yourself, and don’t want to feel confined. Independence tends to trump other drives in most areas of your life, including relationships!

However, a once-every-twelve-years transit begins in September 2016 that has the potential of real joy coming through a partnership. This thirteen month long influence is strong for one-on-one relationships. For some, this is a business or special friend setup, and for others, it’s about love. This is one of the stronger influences for relationship boosts. Whether you’re attracting a new partnership, enhancing and building a current one, or releasing yourself from a difficult relationship, there is a stronger feeling of fulfillment in the relationship department during this cycle that lasts from September 2016 to October 2017.

This influence is strong for meeting with someone from a vastly different cultural background than yours, or met through travels, higher education, or long distance, possibly through the internet. This can also be a time when shared beliefs, interests, and ideologies are a focal point in a close relationship. For some, a significant person comes into your life with common educational goals or belief systems, possibly through long-distance connections, schools, or publishing/online activities. For many of you, you are attracting people who want to help, who are on your side, and who take a strong interest in you.

Last September, Saturn firmly left your intimacy sector and began harmonizing with your sign, and this continues in 2016 and 2017. You’re feeling far less inhibited when it comes to getting close to someone. This influence brings greater stability to your life in general, and also relieves some pressure on intimate expression, shared finances, and issues of control in a partnership. Certainly, after close to three years of this, you’ve learned a lot about your limits. Some of you have experienced some level of disenchantment regarding one-to-one relationships. In fact, it has been since late 2009 that partnerships have gone through tests and trials, and you’ve learned much about what you want (and don’t want) from close relationships. You may have met the more unflattering side of people, and possibly of yourself if you struggled with relationship problems, and now you’re moving forward, ideally older and wiser for it all.

Mars is retrograde from April 17-June 29, 2016, and this affects you quite directly because Mars is your ruler. The retrograde occurs for some of this period (from May 27-June 29) in your intimacy sector, and this points to a return to a previous condition in your intimate life before you’re ready to move forward and break new ground.

During the Mars retrograde cycle, you don’t assert yourself or state what it is that you want as directly as you normally do, and you could be withdrawn and introspective, pulling back from life a little as you figure out what it is that you truly want from it. Because of the retrograde, Mars spends an unusually long time in your intimacy and spirit sectors. You are doing very important “work” that can benefit you greatly. Conflicts about give and take in an existing partnership can be stimulated. It’s a good time to assess what it is that you have been doing on “auto pilot”, how you have been asserting your needs and desires, and how you have been dealing with anger – all of this so that you can make improvements.

For those of you with Pluto challenging your Sun (those born April 4-8), dealing with anger and resentment is especially important. If you’re holding on to grudges, this can interfere with current or new relationships. Forgiveness is not an easy thing to do but it’s essential not only for your well-being, but also for beginning any new relationship on the right foot. If you feel that you’ve been wronged, then it can be even more difficult, but focusing on forgiving a person rather than the actual wrongdoing might help.

Venus does not retrograde during this period but will do so partly in your sign in 2017 (from March 4th to April 15th, 2017). More on that later!

A relationship-themed eclipse set that began in October 2013 ends in March 2016. This March 2016 Lunar Eclipse occurs in your partnership zone and can bring epiphanies about partnerships – it’s time to clear up past patterns that have been holding you back from personal fulfillment, particularly those that are relationship-centered or that revolve around your confidence, boldness, and authenticity of expression. This is the final thrust that tends to force action.
