What Aries Season Means in Tarot & AstrologyAries is the first sign of the zodiac, which makes it the spark, the initiator, and the force that gets things moving. It is associated with:

• The 1st House - selfhood, physical appearance, first impressions, how we enter the world

• Mars - energy, drive, action, courage, conflict, progression

• Fire - passion, vitality, instinct, momentum

• The Ram - leadership, boldness, determination, charging forward

Aries season in 2026 runs from March 20 through April 19.

Major Arcana for Aries Season

The Emperor - Aries is associated with The Emperor, the card of leadership, structure, direction, and authority.

The Tower - Mars, Aries’ ruling planet, is associated with The Tower.

In Aries season, The Tower can remind us that sometimes action begins after collapse. Sometimes the beginning only comes once the old thing has fallen away.

Court Card Energy for Aries Season

Queen of Wands - The first stretch of Aries season carries the energy of the Queen of Wands, which feels very fitting.

King of Pentacles - As Aries season moves toward Taurus season, we begin to feel the more grounded influence of the King of Pentacles.

Minor Arcana for Pisces Season

Two of Wands | 3/20 - 3/30A card of vision, planning, and looking ahead.

Three of Wands | 3/31 - 4/10

This card expands on that initial vision and asks us to trust what we’re building.

Four of Wands | 4/11 - 4/19

The final stretch of Aries season is associated with the Four of Wands, which softens the fire slightly and begins to prepare us for Taurus season.

Why Aries Season MattersAries season is not subtle. It’s the push to begin. It’s the first breath after winter. It’s the shift from dreaming to doing.

If Pisces season was about surrender, intuition, endings, and emotional processing, Aries season asks: Now what are you going to do with all of that?

• What is ready to be born?

• What deserves your fire?

• What are you finally willing to begin?

💭 Today's Tarot Pull:

For this episode’s pull, I used The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright and got The Guide - Inheritance and Correction.

This card speaks to accepting the situation in front of you, even if it isn’t ideal, and doing what needs to be done to move through it with clarity and strength.

This felt like such a powerful Aries season message.

Sometimes beginning again does not happen from a perfect starting point. Sometimes we begin in the middle of grief, chaos, disappointment, or uncertainty. Aries season reminds us that even then, we can still move. We can still act. We can still choose.

Reflection Questions:

• What situation in my life feels less than ideal right now and how am I relating to it?

• What would it look like to accept where I am, without giving up on where I’m going?

• What is being asked of me in this moment—not for the future, just right now?
