The beginning of the zodiac cycle, Aries Season begins with the Spring Equinox, which is a great time for a personal reset. While it’s hard to completely shed your past, Aries Season opens up pathways for you to create new experiences without fear of failure and past hurts getting in the way.

But, with both Mercury and Venus in retrograde, things will be a little dicey the first weeks in Aries. While Aries is all about action and getting things done as soon as possible, backspinning Mercury throws a wrench in that plan by misconstruing your messages or intentions, and disrupting the technology needed accomplish things. And with the planet of love and relationships also in retrograde, you may find tension within your relationships and lacking a support system to get you through this tough time. 

On top of all that, for the first time in 150 years, Neptune will be in Aries for the next six months, and returning in January 2026 where it will stay for the next 13 years. Neptune, the planet of universal love, inspiration, and dreams, is a generational planet that shapes the culture and influences of society. With Neptune in Aries, the focus shifts from how you portray yourself to others (via social media), and instead concentrating on your personal identity and priorities. This is a time for being independent and individualistic, instead of collective thinking and doing things based on societal expectations. 

As you navigate what being true to you looks like, we’ve got you covered with a collection of star sign inspired wines. Check them out below, along with our new Aries Season playlist on Spotify, where you’ll find a stellar collection of tunes to keep you bumpin’ all month long.

Aries

Happy Birthday Aries! With the Sun beaming in your sign, think of the next four weeks as your own personal new year. This is an excellent time to start fresh by letting your passions guide you while prioritizing yourself at the same time. Not only will this benefit you, but the people around you as well, because when you excel others around you do the same. This season is also about identity, and with idealistic Neptune in Aries, this is a great opportunity to start shedding some of the characteristics that no longer define you, while being open to the new ones without judgement.

Taurus

You’re looking forward to a little rest and relaxation this season, Taurus. While everyone else is itching to be out and about as the days get warmer, you’re still in hibernation for the next couple weeks. You’re more likely to be emotionally sensitive, especially as you remove yourself from toxic relationships and get rid of unhealthy habits. Find different ways to work through your emotional vulnerability, like journaling, going to therapy, or grounding yourself somewhere quiet in nature.

Gemini

As the Sun graces your eleventh house of teamwork and technology, you’re looking to branch out and combine forces with others to get your plans in motion. But, with both Mercury and Venus in retrograde in Aries, make sure you choose your alliances wisely. Instead of rushing into a partnership with someone, set up a trial run for a couple weeks to ensure your work ethics align.

You’ve been ruminating over what you’d like to accomplish career-wise recently, and this season is giving you the motivation to start exploring different paths. Take the time to really think things through by strategizing and creating business plans for the ideas you think could truly make it. This energy is being reinforced by inspirational Neptune in Aries, which is encouraging you to seek out careers that are both successful and foster inner peace.

Leo

Adventure awaits Leo! The Sun is glittering in your ninth house of travel and expanding horizons, which means you’re seeking opportunities to explore everything life has to offer. While you’re likely to act on impulse, inquisitive Mercury and Venus in retrograde is cautioning you from spontaneous escapes. Although your confidence in your abilities is always admired, it’d be best to research the places you’re planning to visit and make a loose itinerary for what you’d like to do there.

Virgo

You’re not feeling up to socializing just yet, dear Virgo. You’re looking to keep things pretty low-key and intimate this season, especially with amorous Venus in retrograde, which could lead to an ex resurfacing or slight tension in your current relationship with enthusiastic reconciliation afterwards. Along the same lines, Neptune in Aries is encouraging you to consider what you’re looking for when it comes to committing to someone. Are you ready to be emotionally vulnerable with the person you’re hoping to merge your life with? This is your opportunity to figure out what commitment looks like for you, and how much you’re truly willing to share with someone else.

Libra

The next four weeks are really putting you through your paces when it comes to relationships. With your ruling planet, Venus, in retrograde, your relationship with others are going through a rough patch. As your priorities change the people closest to you may have a hard time adjusting, which could lead to disagreements with each other. And to add more fuel to the fire, Mercury in retrograde makes it even harder to communicate effectively with the people who mean the most to you. This means any minor argument could become a big deal, taking multiple conversations to work through. Just remember that you will get through this and your bonds will be stronger for it.

This season you’re all about crossing things off your to-do list, darling Scorpio. The time has come to stop putting things off for later, and start planning how to accomplish them as effectively and efficiently as you can in the next couple weeks. But, with flexible Mercury and Venus in retrograde, you could face some obstacles while organizing your plans. It may feel a little hectic, but just take everything one task at a time.

Sagittarius

With the Sun heating up your fifth house of passion, play, and self expression, you’re feeling mighty flirty and a little bit frisky. As you radiate this lively energy, people will be drawn to you, including people from your past. Don’t be surprised if an ex pops up in your DMs looking to reconcile with you. Make sure to speak clearly and from the heart, especially with backspinning Mercury wrecking havoc on your communication with others. Also consider using this time to express yourself creatively, whether through art, writing, or fashion.

Capricorn

There’s a bit of a sleepy vibe overlaying everything this season, Capricorn. Instead of trying to accomplish everything at once, take things easy and create moments to take care of yourself and your home. This is a great time to tackle some spring cleaning or create a Pinterest board of the aesthetic you’re aiming for when it comes to redecorating your abode.

Aquarius

With Mercury in retrograde, you’re likely to be misunderstood no matter how clear you think you’re being, and it’s only made worse by the fact that this is all happening in your third house of socialization and community. Double check every text, post, and email to ensure people don’t misconstrue your meaning. This is also a very vulnerable time for you as Neptune in Aries pushes you towards creating meaningful and deep connections with others. Your emotional pathways are opening for you to be able to relate more to the people closest to you, allowing you to provide a new level of emotional support that has evaded you before now. This new emotionally available you will take some time getting used to, but luckily for you, this will be something you work towards for the next 14 years.

Although backspinning Mercury and Venus are making it hard to plan and organize, Neptune in Aries is pushing you to ground your dreams and ideas in reality. Make things easy and prioritize what you’d like to accomplish. By taking everything one step at a time, you’ll be in a better position to get things done. This will also give you an opportunity to really consider your finances and what you need to do to help get your projects running.
