Aries
Mar 21 - Apr 19Aug 17, 2026 to Aug 23, 2026
The week starts with a confusing energy for Aries. On August 17 the planet Mars which rules Aries makes a hard square aspect with Neptune which is currently retrograde in your sign. This specific mix creates a feeling of walking through thick fog where your normally fast and clear decisions might feel heavy or blocked. Do not rush into anything new right now. As the week moves forward you will feel a shift when the Moon enters Sagittarius on August 20 bringing back some of your natural fire and optimism. However be prepared for another test of patience on August 21 when Venus forms an opposition to Saturn which is also retrograde in Aries. This event asks you to slow down and look at the real facts before taking any big leaps.

Beware of
Cancer
The sign of Cancer will bring heavy emotions that completely clash with your active Aries spirit this week. On August 17 your ruling planet Mars is in Cancer and forms a tough square aspect with Neptune. This planetary alignment makes Cancer energy feel very confusing and draining to you. Cancer wants to stay home and process deep feelings especially when the Moon enters Scorpio on August 17. You just want to move forward and take immediate action. When Venus opposes Saturn on August 21 relationship rules and restrictions will make you feel trapped if you are dealing with a Cancer. They might demand more emotional comfort than you can possibly give them right now. It is best to give them plenty of space. Trying to force a connection this week will only lead to major misunderstandings and frustration for both of you. Keep your distance and focus on your own independent goals.
