Aries horoscope

Mar 21–Apr 19

Big plans can wait while you clear the small jobs.

Order is satisfying. The Moon moves into Virgo, in your 6th house of daily tasks and habits, and the day turns practical. The big plans will keep. Jot down what the day actually needs, keep it short, and start on the top item right away. Getting one thing done early makes the rest of the list look shorter, and by evening it may be gone.

Previous days

Put your extra energy into play, not into a quarrel.

You have more get-up-and-go than a Monday usually brings. The Moon in Leo comes side by side with Mars, your ruler, in your 5th house of play and creativity this morning, and the energy wants somewhere fun to land. With nowhere to go, it can turn a small disagreement into a contest. Spend some of it on movement you actually like, such as a brisk walk with music in your ears.

All signs for this day

You can drop a hobby that stopped being fun, and feel fine about it.

Sunday has room for play, and also for an honest look at what you've stopped enjoying. The Moon is waning in Leo, in your 5th house of creativity and fun, at odds with the Sun in Scorpio, in your 8th house of what you share. It's also in sync with Saturn in Aries, your sign, so letting something go feels calm rather than sad. Put a project you no longer want to finish on a high shelf, and skip the guilt.

All signs for this day

Staying in and going out both have their pull today.

Someone close may want to go out just as the couch starts looking best, or the other way around. The Moon in Cancer, in your 4th house, and Venus in Libra, in your 7th house, want different things, and both have a point. A Saturday that mixes a little of each, like an early dinner out and a quiet evening after, tends to suit everyone better than a contest over which wins.

All signs for this day

Give a sudden urge a day before you act on it.

Your own space looks especially inviting today. The Moon is in Cancer, in your 4th house of private life. At 1:21 p.m. ET your ruler, Mars, in Leo, in your 5th house, clashes with Mercury, moving backward in Scorpio, in your 8th house. A plan or arrangement you share with someone may run into second thoughts just as you want to charge ahead. Tomorrow's version of the idea is likely to be better.

All signs for this day

Your energy is up and looking for somewhere fun to go.

Mars, your ruler, sits in Leo, in your 5th house of recreation, and the Moon in Gemini, in your 3rd house, gives it a friendly push. Words come fast, and a little rivalry stays good-natured. A joke traded with a neighbor or someone in line at the store can set the tone for the afternoon. Spend half an hour on a game, like pickup basketball or a round of cards, just for the fun of it.

All signs for this day

A little wordplay can brighten a busy Wednesday.

Your mind is quick today and happy to hop from topic to topic without losing the thread. The Moon is now in Gemini, in your 3rd house of conversation and short trips, so even an errand down the street can turn up something interesting. Learn a new word or phrase in a language you like, and work it into a conversation before the day is out.
