Aries season, and the season of spring, both start March 20, 2026.

Cosmically, this is a major turning point in the year, because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and therefore the commencement of its season marks a new astrological year.

The energies and urges for new beginnings, fresh starts, and clean slates are super high at this time, making it your season of change and progression.

Aries is the ignition key of the zodiac. As the first sign on the zodiac calendar, it rules initiative, bravery, identity and action. It’s also a Fire sign — and fire doesn’t wait for permission. It ignites. It moves. It acts.

Essentially, if January is about intention-setting in the dark of winter, Aries season is about striking the match.

Expect surges and rises in desire and vitality, in motivation and creativity. You will want to do things. You may notice a stronger urge to take risks, speak up, change direction or finally begin something you’ve been circling for months too.

2026 is a ‘1’ year numerologically, which marks a fresh chapter in your life story shaped by new beginnings. It’s likely that what you start on now could design and influence the coming decade for you.

It’s also a powerful reset for identity. Aries rules the self — who you are when no one is watching, who you are when you’re not performing for approval. Authenticity is the key to success, especially this year, especially in this cosmic whirlpool of new beginnings.

So with all that in mind, let’s find out what Aries season ignites for your sign.
