Last Updated on July 6, 2025
Happy Astrological New Year my friend! The Sun lands in Aries on March 20th (5:01am EST) signaling spring equinox, Aries season, and a fresh new year.
Say goodbye to that slow dreamy Pisces energy and take this moment to kick things into high gear. Aries is the sign of the Ram or the Warrior, making this the right time to take bold action. Just be watch out for impulsiveness or flaring tempers as that Aries energy moves through us.
All About Aries
Driven by cardinal Fire, Aries embodies courage and new beginnings. It urges us to take the initial leap, no matter how challenging. Tap into your pioneering spirit and identify areas where you feel stuck. Reawaken your zest for life and let it propel you forward.
Aries is naturally enthusiastic and bold. This is not a sign that will accept something they’re not excited about. Learn how to trust your intuition and energy. You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone! Just know you’re already on the right path.
Allow Aries’ motivating force to push you beyond your boundaries. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment, recognize that your power lies in the present. Believe in your potential and dare to ask, “Why not me?” You possess the ability to achieve remarkable things.

How To Harness The Energy Of Aries Season (For Every Sign)
Themes For This Aries Season: Give Yourself A Glow-Up
It’s the astrological New Year and the perfect time to ask yourself: who do I want to be this year? Decide on who that is and then go for it. Yes, this is about taking action steps toward what you want. But you can also give yourself an extra mental boost by doing an outer makeover. Throw out the clothes that no longer work for who you want to be or switch up things in your space. Yes, those little steps can make a big difference and help you get closer to your big goals.
Themes For This Aries Season: Tap Into Your Inner Warrior
Aries is also the sign of the Warrior: someone who takes action fast and isn’t afraid to protect themselves.

Themes For This Aries Season: Use Your Voice
Aries is naturally talented at demanding what they want or need. If you have trouble advocating for yourself, now is the perfect time to start using your voice. No, that doesn’t mean you’re always going to get what you want. But you’ll have a much better chance than compared to not saying anything at all.

Aries Season Ritual & Activity Ideas
1. Play With Fire
As the cardinal fire sign of the zodiac, now is the perfect time to add a little fire to your rituals or routines. You can go simple: burn a candle and ponder the power of the flame. Or write down a few things you’re ready to let go of and then burn them to release them (in a fireproof bowl of course).
2. Adopt Main Character Energy
As the first sign of the Zodiac (and a fire sign to boot) Aries is definitely the Main Character. If you’re normally a wallflower or you shun the spotlight, take a moment to demand some energy this season. Deep down, you know you’ve got it. It’s time to flaunt it! Here are some ideas:
- Get overdressed for an event (or just a random Saturday).
- Ask directly for something you want or need.
- Create a soundtrack that makes you feel powerful and play it on repeat.
- Make a list of your big wins or best qualities.
- Oh, and don’t forget to take a few selfies for your Stories while you’re at it.
3. Harness The Power of Anger
Anger isn’t something you need to hide or feel shame about. Aries knows it’s one of your superpowers. Leaning into that energy can give you the motivation to do a lot in life. Think: breakup-motivated glow-ups, ensuring you get the job that someone told you was impossible, etc.
While bitterness isn’t cute, sometimes wanting to prove someone (or yourself) wrong can be the very medicine you need.
- What have you felt angry about recently?
- How can you harness that energy for the benefit of yourself or the world?
4. Get Competitive
Aries loves to compete, even if those around them don’t realize it’s a competition. However, being competitive can be highly motivating. What can you do to give something all you’ve got in order to create your next big win? Summon up your courage and go for it!
5. Wear or Work With Red
Fiery red is the perfect symbol for hot Aries. Working with color is a simple way to tap into this energy. Try wearing an all-red outfit or throwing on a bold red lip. You can also try meditating on the color red or adding something red to your altar.
