Aries     March 21 to April 19 

A cardinal fire sign of positive polarity ruled by Mars. Key Phrase: 'I am'

The Sun in Aries heralds new beginnings, and starts new cycles. This is your first clue that spring is in the air. Aries is represented by the ram, who forges full steam ahead with the winds of courage at his back. Arians are friendly in a very forthright, direct manner. They greet you with a firm handclasp and an instant smile. You will rarely get to be group activity leader when there is an Aries in the group. The sun becomes very competitive in Aries. Energetic, enthusiastic and  enterprising, Aires are never satisfied to watch, they need to be physically involved, at the beginning, preferably.

Forecast 2010 to 2011

Pluto took up permanent residency in the sign of Capricorn in November 2008 and will stay until 2024. This is a square to your Aries Sun.  A square is about conflict arising from different points of view. This aspect will take you to places filled with obstacles. Aries loves a challenge. Aries people need to explore what life has to offer. That is why they go out of their way to look for the unbeaten path, so they can meet new people and have new experiences.

Uranus, the planet of surprises, entered the sign of Pisces in 2003, right next door to you. So, how are you getting along with your neighbours. You should be well acquainted by now -- or -- not!  Either way, you have noticed the constant changes in the world around you. Your radar should be on full alert and you should be prepared for all eventualities. Uranus makes a brief appearance into the sign of Aries from March 2010 until August 2010. This will give you a preview of the next seven years when Uranus takes up permanent residence in the sign of Aries in March 2011.

Sensitive Neptune, is sextiling your Aries Sun from the sign of Aquarius, bringing out your creative side. Neptune entered  Aquarius in the spring of 1998 and will stay until 2012. Opportunities just keep knocking at your door. Decisions! Decisions! 

Practical Saturn entered the sign of Libra in October 2009, then moves back to Virgo in April 2010. Saturn takes up permanent residence in Libra in July 2010. Saturn in Libra will oppose your Aries Sun until October 2012. Saturn puts up road blocks and speed limits. Mars ruled Aries forges full speed ahead. You had best be looking for the brake pedal, as you are heading straight into a barricade. Saturn opposing the Sun brings low vitality and a period of adversity. This is a time for you to take control and focus on what you want to accomplish in the future. This transit often breaks the bonds of restrictions. This is a period of endings, which will be followed by new beginnings. A Saturn transit teaches us to handle limitations, organize what's important and build a solid foundation for the future.  Saturn takes about 28 years to travel the big circle. Saturn was conjunct your Sun 14 years ago, and at that time you set out to show the world what you could do. What you have done since then, will now become the structure of a new cycle.

Optimistic Jupiter entered the sign of Pisces in January 2010. First and foremost, Aries is about getting the job done quickly. Jupiter is about vision, seeing the big picture, and Pisces is about artistic endeavours. This is quite a combination: artistic creativity, with the ability to set things in motion, so that you can get the results you want. This aspect brings many opportunities for spiritual growth. Stay alert, you don't want to miss anything.

In Summary; the next couple of years will test your stamina as never before. Pluto in Capricorn square your Sun - Saturn in Libra opposing your Sun and Uranus entering your sun sign. This is a T-Square, a major configuration that brings conflict, tension and stress on the one hand and challenges you to find creative solutions on the other hand. Hang on tight - stormy weather ahead -- but -- (there is always a but) -- keep in mind the universe only dishes out what we can handle.
