Aries Weekly Horoscope

Get ready to wind down one year and begin another, Aries, because you are beginning 2026 on quite an ambitious footing. Before then, however, messenger Mercury will square off stoic Saturn on the 30th, which could inspire you to wrap up a few loose-ends before 2025 comes to a close. You might get the sudden urge to accomplish a few things you’ve left on the back burner, but don’t give yourself too long of a to-do list, or you might wind up turning the last couple days of the year into something a little dull.

The 1st arrives with a rather mystical note, as Mercury then moves into a square with magical Neptune, so you could feel like anything is possible, even if that isn’t necessarily the case. Neptune loves to remove boundaries, meaning it is easy to overshoot the mark or make a wrong estimation, so just because something looks easy or seems doable, doesn’t necessarily mean it is.

Now then, messenger Mercury has spent the last couple of weeks on tour through Sagittarius and your boundless 9th House of Expansion and Adventure, turning your attention to all the possibilities floating out and about in the great wide yonder, though Mercury was retrograde for part of this so it may have felt quite limiting as you attempted to spread your wings.

On January 1st, however, the mood shifts dramatically as the communicator planet wings his way into Capricorn and your 10th House of Achievements and Professional Reputation, giving you an edge on the competition. The next few weeks are going to be especially busy on the work front, so put on your thinking cap and get ready to perform at a moment’s notice, because you are sure to be called upon. More opportunities to make a name for yourself are in the wings, only to jump out into the spotlight when you least expect it. VIPs and bosses will have an especial eye on you, making it important you lead with your best foot forward.

The week winds down with a powerful Full Moon in Cancer and your 4th House of Home and Family on the 3rd. This could result in spending more time with your family–chosen or biological–or deciding you simply need to do some major nesting. Perhaps the place you hang up your hat is looking a little tired and needs a bit of redecorating. Cancer is a Cardinal sign like you, so this energy should feel relatively familiar to you–dare I say you’ll even be in your element. This could provide you with a little slice of peace in a world of confusion, so there’s something to lean into. Even if the year is beginning for everyone else, you’ve earned yourself some rest.
