Today, Tuesday, August 4

Today the Moon crosses Aries, your house of who you are at first sight. The Moon is at last quarter, so let go of what this month is done with, and do it exactly there. With Saturn retrograde, old homework returns for review; whatever you skipped is easier the second time. Do one thing today that is unmistakably yours.

This week, August 3 to 9

A week with no doors slamming: the Moon travels quietly between chapters. Mars keeps working your house of words, errands and siblings, and that is where your traction is. No personal planet is moving backwards: what you start this week walks in a straight line.

This month, August 2026

The Sun spends the month in Leo, lighting your house of pleasure, romance and what you create: that is the month's stage. On the 12th, the new moon in Leo opens your house of pleasure, romance and what you create: place one small, real beginning there. It is also an eclipse, so let this one be bigger than usual: watch what leaves, and do not chase it. On the 28th, the full moon in Pisces peaks in your house of rest and the inner life: something ripens there, and seeing it whole is the task. That one is an eclipse as well: the same counsel, one level deeper.

Who Aries is

Aries runs from March 21 to April 19. Born right on the edge, the exact year decides the sign, and your birth chart says it without guessing.

Aries is ruled by Mars. Its symbol is the ram.

The Sun in Aries

You come alive when things begin. Courage matters more to you than perfection. You would rather act and say sorry than wait and wonder.

The Moon in Aries

Your feelings arrive fast and honest, anger that clears like a summer storm, enthusiasm that can't pretend. You need somewhere to point all that fire.

Aries rising

You lead with directness, people meet your momentum before they meet you. First impressions of you are all forward motion.

Who matches Aries?

Aries flows easiest with the other fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius, who match its pace without taking its sparks personally. Air feeds fire: Gemini and Aquarius keep Aries curious instead of combative. The mirror is Libra, the opposite sign, where Aries learns that a yes to someone else is not a defeat.

Your Sun sign is one line of your sky. Read the whole letter.
