One of the most fiery and productive transits of 2026 is here. Mars, the planet of drive and assertiveness, enters Aries, which is a big deal. Astrologically, Mars is the driving force behind your actions and your ambition to actualize your goals. After being weakened in Pisces since March 2nd, Mars reaches one of its strongest forms in Aries, between April 9th and May 17th. Mars only visits Aries once every two years, but this transit is significant because it will activate the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, occurring only once every thirty-five years. During times of great collective transformation, it’s time to bring a new vision to reality. To help you channel Mars in Aries energy, we bring you a timeline to power up your intentions for the next eight weeks.
