The Sun spends about one month moving through each zodiac sign, traveling through all twelve in the course of a year.

The Sun’s arrival in Aries at the start of each new cycle is marked by the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumn Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere and is an important point in the astrological calendar.

The regular transits of the Sun through each astrology sign in turn serve to shift our astrological attention from the energies of one sign to the next, creating a kind of pattern for the year for each of us.

When the Sun transits Aries on March 20th, 2025, through April 19th, 2025, the qualities and traits associated with Aries become more important to all signs.

In astrology, Aries is associated with bravery and courage – some might say recklessness! – impulsiveness, ambition, competitiveness and a desire to win at all costs.

When the Sun is in Aries, it brings a burst of energy and action. This transit makes us feel bold and courageous, encouraging us to face challenges with determination. It's a time of new beginnings and trying out different things, which can be very exciting. However, we need to be cautious not to let this energy turn into aggression or impulsive behavior.

During this period, we might feel a sense of enthusiasm and eagerness to take on new projects and explore fresh opportunities. It's a great time to initiate changes and pursue our goals with passion. However, we should also be mindful of not getting carried away and making impulsive decisions that we might regret later.

The fiery nature of Aries can sometimes lead to conflicts or heated situations if not managed properly. It's essential to use the energy positively and channel it into constructive actions. Taking a moment to think before reacting impulsively can save us from unnecessary trouble.

This transit reminds us to be courageous, but also to be patient and self-aware. We should find healthy ways to release any built-up energy, like engaging in physical activities or creative pursuits. By striking a balance between enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, we can make the most of this vibrant energy and use it to bring positive changes into our lives.

In astrology, Aries energy is described as wanting to run long before it can walk, so this can be a very impatient time for many of us, because we can see where we want to be and just can’t wait to get there.

Each astrology sign will experience the Sun in Aries transit differently, depending on the individual’s own natal chart, but all signs will sense a need to win and a desire to be first, and most of us will feel more bravado than normal.

You can use the Sun in Aries transit to re-energize and re-invigorate your life goals.

Sun in Aries for a Libra (Libra dates: September 22 – October 22)

The Sun in Aries transits your love zone, Libra, so romance is certainly high on your agenda now.
