The start of a new year is always exciting and full of promise. But from an astrological perspective, one of the most important times to dream about the year ahead is Aries season. Coinciding with the spring equinox, this season marks the start of a new cycle of the Sun around the zodiac. In other words, it's the astrological new year.
It's hard not to feel swept up in the energetic nature of Aries season. Not only does this moment bring about a significant change, with the disappearance of winter's cold and the rebirth of nature, but the fact that Aries is ruled by Mars - the planet of action, energy, passion and anger - means that desires and ambitions are ignited more than usual.
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is the perfect symbol for starting a new chapter. Here's what you need to know about Aries season in 2025 and how it will affect your astrological sign.
What is Aries season?
Lasting about a month each year, Aries season is the period when the Sun transits through this fire sign. Each year, the Sun, which rules identity, self-confidence, and purpose in life, travels through each of the 12 zodiac signs, spending about 30 days in each and creating a unique atmosphere for how we experience the world.
During Aries season, you're more likely to feel motivated to pursue your biggest ambitions, make bold decisions, and express your most passionate emotions. This is thanks to the influence of Mars, which, as the planet of action and strength, pushes you to take quick steps towards your goals.
Aries is associated with the first house of astrology, that of identity, and as a result, this season brings a strong sense of self-confidence and self-centeredness. But this influence can also bring arguments, competition, and the desire to come out on top, pushing you to move quickly towards your greatest aspirations.
When is Aries season?
In 2025, Aries season begins on March 20 and lasts until April 19. In previous years, this period has fluctuated between March 19-21 and April 19-20.
Aries Season in 2025: What to Expect?
Although the Sun moves through Aries every year, the other planets have their own unique rhythms and trajectories, creating a different astrological landscape each year. Here's what happens during Aries season in 2025:
Aphrodite in the background:
Venus, the planet of relationships, beauty, and values, is in the background as Aries season begins. On March 27, she will leave Aries and return to Pisces, a sign where she is considered to be in “exaltation,” or her most powerful state. Until April 12, this movement will create a deeper, more sensual atmosphere, prompting you to explore your spiritual well-being and reflect on your relationships.
Solar eclipse of March 29:
This powerful eclipse in Aries marks the end of an eclipse cycle that began on April 19, 2023. Think back over the past two years and notice how much you have changed. This new phase brings great opportunities for transformation and a new beginning.
Aries season in 2025 will be a time filled with intensity, change, and powerful new beginnings. So, get ready to harness this energy to fulfill your biggest goals!
